RESUMO
Objective: To characterize the histopathological subtypes and their clinicopathological parameters of gender and onset age by common, rare and sparse primary esophageal malignant tumors (PEMT). Methods: A total of 272 437 patients with PEMT were enrolled in this study, and all of the patients were received radical surgery. The clinicopathological information of the patients was obtained from the database established by the State Key Laboratory of Esophageal Cancer Prevention & Treatment from September 1973 to December 2020, which included the clinical treatment, pathological diagnosis and follow-up information of esophagus and gastric cardia cancers. All patients were diagnosed and classified by the criteria of esophageal tumor histopathological diagnosis and classification (2019) of the World Health Organization (WHO). The esophageal tumors, which were not included in the WHO classification, were analyzed separately according to the postoperative pathological diagnosis. The χ2 test was performed by the SPSS 25.0 software on count data, and the test standard α=0.05. Results: A total of 32 histopathological types were identified in the enrolled PEMT patients, of which 10 subtypes were not included in the WHO classification. According to the frequency, PEMT were divided into common (esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, ESCC, accounting for 97.1%), rare (esophageal adenocarcinoma, EAC, accounting for 2.3%) and sparse (mainly esophageal small cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, etc., accounting for 0.6%). All the common, rare, and sparse types occurred predominantly in male patients, and the gender difference of rare type was most significant (EAC, maleⶠfemale, 2.67â¶1), followed with common type (ESCC, maleⶠfemale, 1.78â¶1) and sparse type (maleⶠfemale, 1.71â¶1). The common type (ESCC) mainly occurred in the middle thoracic segment (65.2%), while the rare type (EAC) mainly occurred in the lower thoracic segment (56.8%). Among the sparse type, malignant melanoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma were both predominantly located in the lower thoracic segment (51.7%, 66.7%), and the others were mainly in the middle thoracic segment. Conclusion: ESCC is the most common type among the 32 histopathological types of PEMT, followed by EAC as the rare type, and esophageal small cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma as the major sparse type, and all of which are mainly occur in male patients. The common type of ESCC mainly occur in the middle thoracic segment, while the rare type of EAC mainly in the lower thoracic segment. The mainly sparse type of malignant melanoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma predominately occur in the lower thoracic segment, and the remaining sparse types mainly occur in the middle thoracic segment.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of Pneumocystis jirovecii infection and colonization in non-AIDS patients. Methods: From January 2010 to December 2017, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was detected by Grocott's methenamine silver (GMS) staining and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) in non-AIDS patients with bronchoscopic alveolar lavage at Peking University First Hospital. At the same time, Pneumocystis jirovecii was detected in the environment of the hospital. Results: Within 8 years, Pneumocystis jirovecii were detected in BALF of a total of 1 407 non-AIDS patients. GMS staining was performed in all these 1 407 cases, of which 114 (8.10%) cases were with Pneumocystis jirovecii infection and 3 (0.21%) cases with colonization. There were totally 946 non-AIDS immunocompromised patients, of which 113 (11.95%) cases were infected and 2 (0.21%) cases with colonization; there were 461 non-AIDS immunocompetent patients, of which only 1 (0.22%) case was infected and 1 (0.22%) case with colonization. GMS staining and qPCR were both performed in 196 cases, of which 36 (18.37%) cases were infected and 33 (16.84%) cases with colonization. There were totally 175 non-AIDS immunocompromised patients, of which 36 (20.57%) cases were infected and 30 (17.14%) cases with colonization; there were 21 non-AIDS immunocompetent patients, of which no one was infected and 3 (14.29%) cases with colonization. By means of GMS staining and qPCR, no Pneumocystis jiroveci were detected in the environment of Peking University First Hospital. Conclusions:Pneumocystis pneumonia is rare in immunocompetent patients, but not in non-AIDS immunocompromised patients. And colonization is rare in both of them. There may be no Pneumocystis jiroveci in the environment.

The genus Eucriotettix Hebard from China was reviewed and 13 were species recorded, including two new species: Eucriotettix nigripennis Deng & Zheng n. sp. and Eucriotettix strictivertex Deng & Zheng n. sp. A key to the species of Eucriotettix from China is provided. Type specimens were deposited in the Institute of Zoology, Shaanxi Normal University.
