OBJECTIVE: To study the clinicopathological characteristics and diagnosis of true hermaphroditism complicated with seminoma. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of a case of true hermaphroditism complicated with seminoma and reviewed the related literature. RESULTS: The patient was a 42-year-old male, admitted for bilateral lower back pain and discomfort. CT showed a huge mass in the lower middle abdomen. Gross pathological examination revealed a mass of uterine tissue, 7 cm x 2 cm x 6 cm in size, with bilateral oviducts and ovarian tissue. There was a cryptorchidism (4.0 cm x 2.5 cm x 1.5 cm) on the left and a huge tumor (22 cm x9 cm x6 cm) on the right of the uterine tissue. The tumor was completely encapsulated, with some testicular tissue. Microscopically, the tumor tissue was arranged in nests or sheets divided and surrounded by fibrous tissue. The tumor cells were large, with abundant and transparent cytoplasm, deeply stained nuclei, coarse granular chromatins, visible mitosis, and infiltration of a small number of lymphocytes in the stroma. The karyotype was 46, XX. Immunohistochemistry showed that PLAP and CD117 were positive, while the AFP, Vimentin, EMA, S100, CK-LMW, Desmin, CD34 and CD30 were negative, and Ki-67 was 20% positive. A small amount of residual normal testicular tissue was seen in the tumor tissue. CONCLUSION: True hermaphroditism complicated with seminoma is rare. Histopathological analysis combined with immunohistochemical detection is of great value for its diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the editor after publication concerns were raised with respect to data presented in Figure 2. The journal contacted Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China, who formed an Academic Committee to investigate. According to the "Academic Ethics and Implementation Rules" of Southern Medical University, the Committee reported evidence of improper preservation of original data and incorrect use of pictures, and recommended immediate withdrawal of the paper. Specifically, in the PC-3 group of Fig. 2H, the 'Control' cell migration image had been partially duplicated in the 'Empty vector' image. As per journal policy, original files used to create the entire figure were requested. Raw western blot images were not available for Figure 2 C+F, and experimental repeats yielded protein level discrepancies with the original published data. The editors therefore no longer have confidence in the integrity of these data.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of Helicobacter pylor (Hp) eradication in children with acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). METHODS: Ninety-three children with acute ITP and Hp infection were divided into two groups and treated with prednisone and Hp eradication (group A, 51 cases) or with prednisone without Hp eradication (group B, 42 cases). RESULTS: The Hp eradication rate was 94.1% in group A. No difference was found in the therapeutic effects on IPT between the two groups, but the recurrence rate in one year in group A was significantly lower than that in group B. CONCLUSION: NHp eradication does not obviously enhance the therapeutic effect on childhood acute ITP, but can decrease the relapse rate in one year. HP eradication therapy is recommended in children with acute ITP and Hp infection.
