RÉSUMÉ
The American Transplant Congress (ATC) is an annual international academic conference in the field of transplantation, which includes the latest achievements of scholars around the world in transplantation, and also leads the frontier direction of transplantation research. In this paper, the international forefront hotspots in basic and translational medicine research associated with renal transplantation in 2020 ATC were summarized, including the new discoveries of memory cell function and immune memory mechanism, the latest discovery in the mechanism of rejection and immune tolerance, the current research status of xenotransplantation, the potential solutions of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), and the application of nanomedicine and single-cell RNA sequencing in renal transplantation, etc.
RÉSUMÉ
Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of primary adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) of liver.Methods The clinical and histopathological data of 2 patients with ASC were analyzed retrospectively.The cases were confirmed by surgery and histopathological examination.Results The tumors were located in the left liver in these 2 patients.Both patients presented with abdominal pain and they underwent surgical resection.On gross pathological examination,the tumors were irregular in shape with unclear boundaries.Microscopically,the tumor cells were arranged in a nesting pattern with a tubular structure,which was an adenosquamous carcinoma structure.One patient survived 4 months after surgery and the other patient died of intrahepatic tumour recurrence 7 months after surgery.Conclusions The diagnosis of primary hepatic ASC relied on histopathological examination.Surgical resection was safe and feasible.
