目的:对照研究Fascin在侵袭性和非侵袭性垂体瘤中的表达差异,探讨Fascin的表达与垂体瘤侵袭性的关系。方法:应用Envision二步免疫组化方法,通过测定各样本平均光密度值和积分光密度值,比较侵袭性和非侵袭性垂体腺瘤、不同病理类型、不同体积肿瘤中Fascin的表达差异。结果:Fascin在侵袭性垂体腺瘤的表达明显高于非侵袭性垂体腺瘤,其表达水平与垂体腺瘤的侵袭性正相关,巨大型肿瘤的表达明显高于小型肿瘤,不同病理类型之间无显著差异。结论:Fascin的表达与垂体腺瘤的侵袭生长有关,与垂体瘤大小有关,与病理类型无关。
目的:探讨慢性非侵袭性真菌性鼻窦炎(NIFS)的治疗要点。方法:分析11 例NIFS 患者,全部施行鼻内镜手术,术后定期随访。结果:术后随访2年,全部治愈。结论:以鼻内镜手术治疗为主的综合治疗,疗效好,复发率低。
Objective To comprehend the concept, pathology, molecular mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatmentof aggressive fibromatosis (AF), and to find a novel way to cure aggressive fibromatosis. Method The literatures about the definition, molecular mechanisms, and clinical research of AF were reviewed and analized. Results AF is rare and benign fibromatous lesion that is the result of abnormal proliferation of myofibroblasts. The pathologic features of AF isa benign disease, but it has “malignant” biological behavior. The tumor often involved the surrounding organs and bloodvessels, and caused death of patients. For patients with clinical symptoms or complications, complete excision of thetumor is the treatment of choice. Even if the operation to ensure the negative margin also has a higher recurrence rate, soits treatment requires multidisciplinary treatment. Conclusions The mechanism of AF is very complex, and it’s mecha-nism is still unclear. Clinical management of patients with AF is difficult and controversial, at present, the most effective treatment for AF is operation resection. The effects of adjuvant radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and other treatment after operation for AF still need further study.
With the development of multi-slice spiral computed tomography (CT) technology and the popularization of low-dose spiral CT screening, more and more adenocarcinomas presenting ground-glass nodule (GGN) are found. Pathological invasiveness is one of the important factors affecting the choice of treatment strategy and prognosis of patients with early lung adenocarcinoma. Imaging features have attracted wide attention due to their unique advantages in predicting the pathologic invasiveness of early lung adenocarcinoma. The imaging characteristics of GGN can be used to predict the pathologic invasiveness of lung adenocarcinoma and provide evidence for clinical decisions. However, the imaging parameters and numerical values for predicting pathologic invasiveness are still controversial, which will be reviewed in this paper.
Objective To explore the value of procalcitonin (PCT) in differential diagnosis of invasive candidiasis. Methods PubMed, Embase, Medline, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang Data were searched for articles published from the dates of establishment of databases to January 2021. A prospective and retrospective cohort studies and a case-control studies of PCT in differential diagnosis of invasive candidiasis were collected. RevMan 5.3 software QUADAS-2 risk assessment tool was used to evaluate the quality of the literature. Meta-Disc 1.4 software was used to determine whether the original data had threshold effect and heterogeneity. Stata 14.0 software was used to analyze meta, judge publication bias and draw Deeks diagram. Results A total of 9 articles and 943 patients were included. There were 259 cases in candida group and 684 cases in control group. The study showed that the total sensitivity was 0.86 [95% confidence interval (CI) (0.80, 0.91)], specificity was 0.78 [95%CI (0.70, 0.84)], positive likelihood ratio was 3.92 [95%CI (2.77, 5.55)], negative likelihood ratio was 0.18 [95%CI (0.12, 0.27)], the area under receiver operator characteristic curve was 0.90 [95%CI (0.87, 0.92)], diagnostic odds ratio was 19.75 [95%CI (10.71, 36.43)]. The results of heterogeneity test showed that there was heterogeneity caused by non-threshold effect between studies. The results of subgroup analysis showed that the heterogeneity I2 value of PCT<2 ng/mL subgroup decreased significantly, and the result was more stable, with sensitivity. The results show that sensitivity was 0.86 [95%CI (0.79, 0.91)], specificity was 0.72 [95%CI (0.63, 0.80)], the area under receiver operator characteristic curve was 0.87 [95%CI (0.83, 0.89)]. Conclusions Serum PCT in the differential diagnosis of invasive candidiasis has certain accuracy and negative predictive value. However, PCT is only an auxiliary test. The differential diagnosis of invasive candidiasis should be combined with clinical features and other diagnostic indexes.
