RESUMO

PURPOSE: To assess the regional epidemiological trends of kidney diseases over time in the South China using renal biopsy-proven cases. METHODS: This retrospective observational cohort study was conducted at the Institute of Nephrology, Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, and encompasses all patients diagnosed with kidney disease via biopsy from 2012 to 2021. RESULTS: The study sample consisted of 10 199 native kidneys, with a male-to-female ratio of 0.91:1 and an average age of 38.74 (±14.53) years. Primary glomerular nephropathy, systemic glomerular nephropathy (SGN), tubulointerstitial disease, and hereditary renal diseases accounted for 66.92 (6825)%, 24.49 (2498)%, 8.06 (822)%, and 0.53 (54)%, respectively. The leading pathologies of primary glomerular nephropathy remained the IgA nephropathy. The frequencies of IgA nephropathy and membranous nephropathy increased significantly, whereas the frequencies of minimal change disease and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis decreased (P < .001) between 2017 and 2021 than in the years 2012 and 2016. An earlier onset of membranous nephropathy was observed in the age group of 45-59 years compared to previous studies. The leading pathologies of SGN were found to be lupus nephritis (758 cases, 30.45%) and hypertension nephropathy (527 cases, 21.17%). The frequencies of hypertension nephropathy and diabetic nephropathy increased between 2017 and 2021 compared to 2012 and 2016 (P < .001), gradually becoming the leading pathological types of SGN. In elderly patients diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, the frequencies of amyloidosis significantly increased (P < .01). CONCLUSION: Our study may provide insights for kidney disease prevention and public health strategies. What is already known on this topic The pathological spectrum of kidney diseases has undergone significant transformations in the past decade, driven by the escalating incidence of chronic diseases. Although there are studies exploring the renal biopsy findings from various regions in China which present both similarities and differences in epidemiology, few large-scale reports from the South China in recent decades were published. What this study adds Our findings reveal the following key observations: (i) increased proportion of middle-aged patients leading to the increasing average age at the time of biopsy;(ii) the frequencies of IgA nephropathy and membranous nephropathy (MN) increased significantly, whereas the frequencies of minimal change disease and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis decreased (P < .001) between 2017 and 2021 than in the years 2012 and 2016; (iii) earlier onset of MN in the age group of 45-59 years old was found in our study; and (iv) a higher frequency of hypertension nephropathy and DN presented over time, and frequency of amyloidosis increased in elderly patients diagnosed with NS. How this study might affect research, practice, or policy This single-center yet a large-scale study of the kidney disease spectrum in South China may provide a reference point for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of chronic kidney disease.

RESUMO

Objective To study the pathological types,expression of mismatch repair protein,human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2),and Pan-TRK,and Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)infection in patients with colorectal cancer resected in Tibet. Methods A total of 79 patients with colorectal cancer resected in Tibet Autonomous Region People's Hospital from December 2013 to July 2021 were enrolled in this study.The clinical and pathological data of the patients were collected.The expression of mismatch repair protein,HER2,and Pan-TRK was detected by immunohistochemical(IHC)staining,and detection of HER2 gene by fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)in the patients with HER2 IHC results of 2+ or above.EBV was detected by in situ hybridization with EBV-encoded small RNA. Results A total of 79 colorectal cancer patients were included in this study,with the male-to-female ratio of 1.26:1 and the mean age of(57.06±12.74)years(24-83 years).Among them,4 patients received preoperative neoadjuvant therapy.Colonic cancer and rectal cancer occurred in 57(57/79,72.15%,including 31 and 26 in the right colon and left colon,respectively)and 22(22/79,27.85%)patients,respectively.The maximum diameter of tumor varied within the range of 1-20 cm,with the mean of(6.61±3.33)cm.Among the 79 colorectal cancer patients,75(75/79,94.94%)patients showed adenocarcinoma.Lymph node metastasis occurred in 12(12/21,57.14%)out of the 21 patients with severe tumor budding,13(13/23,56.52%)out of the 23 patients with moderate tumor budding,and 2(2/31,6.45%)out of the 31 patients with mild tumor budding,respectively.The lymph node metastasis rate showed differences between the patients with severe/moderate tumor budding and the patients with mild tumor budding(all P<0.001).The IHC staining showed that mismatch repair protein was negative in 10(10/65,15.38%)patients,including 5 patients with both MSH2 and MSH6 negative,4 patients with both MLH1 and PMS2 negative,and 1 patient with MSH6 negative.Pan-TRK was negative in 65 patients.The IHC results of HER2 showed 0 or 1+ in 60 patients and 2+ in 5 patients.FISH showed no positive signal in the 5 patients with HER2 IHC results of 2+.The detection with EBV-encoded small RNA showed positive result in 1(1/65,1.54%)patient. Conclusions Non-specific adenocarcinoma of the right colon is the most common in the patients with colorectal cancer resected in Tibet,and 15% of the patients showed mismatch repair protein defects.EBV-associated colorectal carcer is rare,Pan-TRK expression and HER2 gene amplification are seldom.The colorectal cancer patients with moderate and severe tumor budding are more likely to have lymph node metastasis.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The pathological types of renal diseases have changed in the past decade, but it lacks large sample analysis in Hunan Province. This study aims to retrospectively analyze the composition characteristics of pathological spectrum of kidney disease in Hunan Province in recent 10 years, compare the changes of pathological types of kidney disease. METHODS: We collected a total of 9 310 kidney biopsy cases from 2011 to 2020 registered in the kidney biopsy system of the Nephrology Institute of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. Patients were assigned into a 14-24 years old group, a 25-44 years old group, a 45-59 years old group, and a ≥60 years old group, and divided into 2 time periods, namely 2011-2015 and 2016-2020. Pathological types of renal disease were divided into primary glomerulonephritis (PGN), secondary glomerulonephritis (SGN), tubulo-interstitial nephritis (TIN), hereditary kidney disease, and other pathological types. RESULTS: PGN accounted for 66.93% cases. Among PGN, IgA nephropathy (IgAN) (42.83%), membranous nephropathy (MN) (19.16%), minimal change glomerulopathy (12.46%), and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) (14.97%) were the 4 most common pathological types. Compared with the group in the period of 2011-2015, IgAN (46.74% vs 37.33%) and MN (21.26% vs 16.18%) were increased significantly in years 2016-2020 (both P<0.001). SGN accounted for 24.49% cases, of which lupus nephritis (LN) (26.91%), hypertensive nephropathy (HT) (14.47%), diabetic nephropathy (DN) (12.25%), and henoch-schonlein purpuric nephritis (HSPN) (13.44%) were the 4 most common pathological types. LN (32.53%), HSPN (12.97%), hepatitis B virus associated nephritis (HBVN) (10.98%), HT (9.48%) were the most common SGN in the period of 2011-2015. In the period of 2016-2020, the top 4 pathological types of SGN were LN (23.21%), HT (17.75%), DN (15.84%), and HSPN (13.74%). LN was the most common type in young adults ≤44 years old. HT, DN, and monoclonal immunoglobulin associated renal disease (including amyloidosis nephropathy) became the main pathological types of SGN in middle-aged and elderly patients. CONCLUSIONS: IgAN remains the primary pathological type of kidney disease in China in the recent years. The patients with the age of 25-44 years old have the largest proportion of IgAN. With increases in age, the proportion of IgAN gradually decreases. MN increases to different degrees at various ages, while cases of HT, DN, and monoclonal immunoglobulin-related renal damage have increased. This single-center renal pathology spectrum can provide clinical evidence for diagnosis, prevention and epidemiological study.

RESUMO

Objective: To study the pathological types of lung cancer caused by coke oven emissions and analyze the correlation between different exposure levels. Methods: In October 2020, the relevant data of 86 confirmed cases of lung cancer caused by coke oven emissions (including basic information of patients, relevant occupational exposure and clinical data) were collected, The workers were grouped according to the different COEs concentrations in their posts: workers in auxiliary posts were taken as the low exposure group (11 persons) , The workers at coke side and furnace bottom are the medium exposure group (14 persons) , and the workers at furnace top are the high exposure group (61 persons) , and the correlation between pathological types of lung cancer and different exposure levels was analyzed. Results: There was no significant difference in age and length of service among the groups (P>0.05) ; The number of lung cancer cases and pathological types among workers in each group were statistically significant (P=0.044) . After adjusting for interference factors, the number of undifferentiated cancers (mainly small cell lung cancer) increased with the increase of exposure level, with a statistically significant difference (P=0.001) . The incidence of lung cancer increased gradually with the length of service, and the incidence rate of lung cancer among workers of different working ages was statistically significant (P<0.05) . Conclusion: Undifferentiated small cell carcinoma is the most common pathological type of lung cancer caused by coke oven emissions, and the incidence of lung cancer tends to increase with the length of service.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The management of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) remains controversial. We performed a retrospective study to determine characteristics associated with advanced PCLs (A-PCLs) and whether these characteristics vary in different pathological types of PCLs. The additional diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was also evaluated. METHODS: Patients who underwent surgical resection for an identified PCLs by imaging modalities were included. A logistic regression model was developed to identify significant characteristics for A-PCLs. EUS data was assessed separately. RESULTS: Three hundred and fifty-three patients were included, and 125 patients (35.4%) were A-PCLs. The presence of main pancreatic duct (MPD) diameter ≥ 10 mm (odds ratio [OR], 11.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.53-89.2; P = 0.018), mural nodules ≥ 5 mm (OR, 11.67; 95% CI, 2.3-59.05; P = 0.003), solid components within cysts (OR, 30.87; 95% CI, 7.23-131.7; P < 0.0001) and high serum CA19-9 levels (OR, 1.006; 95% CI, 1.001-1.011; P = 0.02) were independently associated with the presence of A-PCLs. The presence of septa was independently associated with the presence of non-A-PCLs (OR, 0.147; 95% CI, 0.04-0.6; P = 0.008). Males who had a history of tobacco abuse (P < 0.0001) and had a greatly dilated MPD (P < 0.0001) were more common in advanced intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMC) patients. Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPT) often occurred in young women (P < 0.0001), mostly asymptomatically (P < 0.0001) and with lower serum CA19-9 levels (P < 0.0001). In the 124 patients who underwent EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA), five additional characteristics (4 mural nodules and 1 MPD involvement) were identified by EUS imaging and 17 patients were identified with abnormal cytological results (13 atypical cells and 4 suspicious for malignancy cells) by EUS-FNA. CONCLUSION: On the basis of a retrospective study with large sample size, the presence of MPD ≥ 10 mm, mural nodules, solid components, and high serum CA19-9 levels were independently associated with the presence of A-PCLs. The high-risk characteristics may vary across different types of A-PCLs. EUS and EUS-FNA could provide additional diagnostic information for PCLs.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the PET/CT findings in lung invasive adenocarcinoma with minor components of micropapillary or solid contents and its association with lymph node metastasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 506 lung invasive adenocarcinoma (≤ 3 cm) patients who underwent a PET/CT examination and resection surgery were included. According to the proportion of solid/micropapillary components, the patients were classified into three groups: solid/micropapillary-negative (SMPN) (n = 258), solid/micropapillary-minor (SMPM; > 5% not predominant) (n = 158) and solid/micropapillary-predominant (SMPP; > 5% most dominant) (n = 90). The patients' PET/CT findings, including SUVmax, MTV, TLG and CT characteristics, and other clinical factors were compared by one-way ANOVA test. Logistic regression analysis was done to identify the most predictive findings for lymph node metastasis. RESULTS: The value of SUVmax, MTV, TLG and tumor size was highest in SMPP group, followed by SMPM and SMPN group (P < 0.001).The areas under the curve for SUVmax, MTV and TLG for node metastasis were 0.822, 0.843 and 0.835, respectively. Univariate analysis found that the SMPP and SMPM group had more lymph node metastasis than the SMPN group (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the lymph node metastasis group had higher CEA, SUVmax, MTV, TLG, tumor size and more pleural invasion (P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis found that SMPP pathological type, SMPM pathological type, higher CEA and male patients were risk factors for lymph node metastasis (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Lung invasive adenocarcinoma with micropapillary or solid contents had higher SUVmax, MTV, TLG and tumor size and was associated with lymph node metastasis, even if they were not predominant.

RESUMO

Objective: To characterize the clinical epidemiological features of primary lung cancer patients based on massive clinical data. Methods: The demographic and histological information of 8 081 primary lung cancer patients who were initially identified from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2013 in 16 hospitals from 6 provinces were retrospectively analyzed to determine the characteristics of different histological subtypes among different gender, age-group and birth cohort. Results: Among the 8 081 lung cancer patients, 5 422 (67.10%) were male and 2 659 (32.90%) were female, the average age was (60.96±10.14) years. The most common histological subtypes of lung cancer successively were adenocarcinoma (ADC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), small cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma, and the proportions of these subtypes were 53.13%, 24.51%, 14.59% and 0.66%, respectively, which collectively accounted for 92.89%. The current highest smoking rate was observed in SCC patients, which was 62.45%, while lowest in ADC, which was 29.68%. The incidence of lung cancer in male was significantly higher that that of female, with a sex ratio of 2.04∶1. The highest sex ratio was observed in SCC, which was 9.14∶1, while lowest in ADC, which was 1.14∶1. The distribution of histological subtypes in male lung cancer patients was consistent with the general situation.While among the female lung cancer patients, the proportion of ADC was the highest (75.42%), followed by SCC (10.08%), squamous cell carcinoma (7.34%) and large cell carcinoma (0.39%). Analyzed by the birth cohort, the proportion of ADC gradually increased with the age, while the reduced tendency was observed in SCC (P<0.000 1). Conclusion: Adenocarcinoma is the most important histological subtype of lung cancer, and the distribution characteristics of histological subtypes of lung cancer differs among genders, age and birth cohort.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The pathological types of lung ground glass nodules (GGNs) show great significance to the clinical treatment. This study was aimed to predict pathological types of GGNs based on computed tomography (CT) quantitative parameters. METHODS: 389 GGNs confirmed by postoperative pathology were selected, including 138 cases of precursor glandular lesions [atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) and adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS)], 109 cases of microinvasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) and 142 cases of invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC). The morphological characteristics of nodules were evaluated subjectively by radiologist, as well as artificial intelligence (AI). RESULTS: In the subjective CT signs, the maximum diameter of nodule and the frequency of spiculation, lobulation and pleural traction increased from AAH+AIS, MIA to IAC. In the AI quantitative parameters, parameters related to size and CT value, proportion of solid component, energy and entropy increased from AAH+AIS, MIA to IAC. There was no significant difference between AI quantitative parameters and the subjective CT signs for distinguishing the pathological types of GGNs. CONCLUSIONS: AI quantitative parameters were valuable in distinguishing the pathological types of GGNs.

RESUMO

Background: Primary malignancies of the cervical lymph nodes with special pathological characteristics are relatively uncommon in clinical settings, and there have been few reports on these tumors. The precise basis for their pathogenesis is poorly understood, and their diagnosis can be challenging. In addition, no clinically validated treatments have been established to date for affected patients. Case Description: Here, we describe a case of a 65-year-old male patient who exhibited the enlargement of several lateral and supraclavicular lymph nodes on the right side of his neck that presented as a large mass associated with a high fever and benign leukocytosis. He did not exhibit any relevant prior history. Radiological assessment revealed that this lesion was the primary tumor and that it has since spread to the liver. Histological assessment was unable to definitively classify the pathological characteristics of this tumor. Without any relevant morphological findings, immunohistochemical outcomes were not sufficiently specific to clarify the origin of these cells. When distinguishing it from similar sarcomas of the lymphohematopoietic system, it was found to not be typical of a histiocytic or dendritic cell tumor. Treatment to this patient was performed following multidisciplinary consultation and consisted of one course of a cyclophosphamide plus doxorubicin, vincristine, and dexamethasone regimen and two courses of the cyclophosphamide plus pirarubicin, vincristine, and dexamethasone regimen. However, the tumor exhibited minimal response to such treatment. While radiotherapy was proposed, the patient lacked confidence in the approach and declined treatment. He eventually developed severe tumor-associated complications. In the discussion section of this report, we detail and analyze the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and referential treatments of this rare malignancy. Conclusions: This is the first report describing such a malignancy, and we hope that the publication of these findings can lead to the recognition of this tumor while supporting efforts to acquire greater experience in the diagnosis and treatment of affected patients.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL) is a rare malignancy. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the predominant subtype, often affecting the pancreatic head in elderly males. Due to its rarity and nonspecific symptoms, PPL is frequently misdiagnosed, leading to unnecessary surgeries. This case report discusses the diagnosis and management of PPL in a 47-year-old female, emphasizing the challenges in its identification. CASE PRESENTATION: A 47-year-old female with no medical history presented with severe epigastric pain and jaundice. Diagnosed initially as acute pancreatitis. The abdominal CT scan showed a tumor in the head of the pancreas suggesting pancreatic adenocarcinoma invading the vessels, making it minimally borderline. However, due to the presence of large intra- and retroperitoneal lymph nodes casting doubt on the diagnosis, we further investigated with an MRI and Endoscopic Ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration, which ruled out adenocarcinoma and confirmed a pancreatic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The patient underwent chemotherapy with CHOP, showing significant improvement after six cycles. DISCUSSION: Primitive pancreatic lymphoma (PPL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, often mimicking other pancreatic diseases. B-cell lymphomas, especially diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), are common in PPL. Diagnostic criteria include the bulk of disease in the pancreas, no splenic or hepatic involvement, and normal white blood cell count. Imaging modalities aid in diagnosis, but histopathological evaluation is essential. Treatment options include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery, with rituximab-based regimens being common for DLBCL. CONCLUSIONS: B-cell pancreatic lymphoma poses diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms. A definitive diagnosis requires histopathological evidence, often obtained through minimally invasive procedures like endosonography-guided biopsy. Treatment involves chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation, with early detection correlating with improved outcomes. Surgery's role is limited due to the diffuse nature of the disease. This case underscores the importance of considering PPL in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic masses, especially in atypical clinical presentations.

RESUMO

Background: To explore the variation of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1), and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen in patients with lung cancer (LC) and their diagnostic value with endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). Methods: This study examined the diagnostic value of serum tumor marker testing and EBUS-TBNA joint detection for LC in 150 patients with suspected LC. Results: Compared to benign patients, the serum levels of CYFRA21-1, SCC, and CEA in LC were higher (P<0.05). In patients with squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and lung adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma had higher serum CEA levels (P<0.05). In comparison, LSCC patients had higher serum SCC and CYFRA21-1 levels (P<0.05). As compared to each index detected alone, the AUC of combined detection of each index to diagnose LC and identify pathological types of LC was elevated. Conclusions: The clinical significance of serum CYFRA21-1, SCC, and CEA conjugated with EBUS-TBNA is demonstrated for diagnostic purposes and identification of LC pathological types.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: IgA vasculitis nephritis (IgAVN) is a common form of secondary glomerulonephritis and can occur in patients of any age. Our study was designed to reveal renal histopathological manifestations of children and adults with IgAVN and to explore the potential pathogenesis of IgAVN. METHODS: Sixty-one pediatric and seventy adult patients with IgAVN were enrolled altogether, and all of them underwent kidney biopsies. General information, laboratory parameters, and renal histopathological manifestations of all patients were analyzed. RESULTS: (1) Diabetes, hypertension, and various levels of proteinuria made no difference between children and adults. (2) Global sclerosis and tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis occurred more commonly in adults than in children (24.29 % vs 8.20 %, 65.71 % vs 9.84 %, respectively) (P < 0.05). (3) The immunofluorescence deposition of complement C3 was more apparent in adults (P < 0.05). (4) The deposition of IgA, IgG, IgM, and C3 in kidneys was unrelated to the pathological types. (5) The deposition of IgG or IgM was related to the deposition of IgA or C3 in children and adults (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Chronic kidney injury occurred more commonly in adult IgAVN patients compared to pediatric IgAVN patients. Immunoglobulin and complement deposits in kidneys were independent of the types of renal pathological injury. Additionally, IgG and IgM were probably involved in IgAVN pathogenesis.

RESUMO

Objectives: Predicting pathological types in patients with adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma using CT perfusion imaging parameters based on brain metastasis lesions from lung cancer. Methods: We retrospectively studied adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma patients with brain metastases who received treatment and had been pathologically tested in our hospital from 2019 to 2021. CT perfusion images of the brain were used to segment enhancing tumors and peritumoral edema and to extract CT perfusion parameters. The most relevant perfusion parameters were identified to classify the pathological types. Of the 45 patients in the study cohort (mean age 65.64 ± 10.08 years; M:F = 24:21), 16 were found to have squamous cell carcinoma. Twenty patients were with brain metastases only, and 25 patients were found to have multiple organ metastases in addition to brain metastases. After admission, all patients were subjected to the CT perfusion imaging examination. Differences in CT perfusion parameters between adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to predict the types of pathology of the patients. Results: Among the perfusion parameters, cerebral blood flow (CBF) and mean transit time (MTT) were significantly different between the two lung cancers (adenocarcinoma vs. squamous cell carcinoma: p < 0.001, p = 0.012.). Gender and tumor location were identified as the clinical predictive factors. For the classification of adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma, the model combined with CBF and clinical predictive factors showed better performance [area under the curve (AUC): 0.918, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.797-0.979). The multiple organ metastasis model showed better performance than the brain metastasis alone model in subgroup analyses (AUC: 0.958, 95% CI: 0.794-0.999). Conclusion: CT perfusion parameter analysis of brain metastases in patients with primary lung cancer could be used to classify adenocarcinoma and squamous carcinoma.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common cancer worldwide and the third leading cause of cancer death. Due to the low rate of early diagnosis, most patients are already in the advanced stage and lose the chance of radical surgery. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical value of computed tomography (CT) dual-energy imaging in preoperative evaluation of pathological types of gastric cancer patients. METHODS: 121 patients with gastric cancer were selected. Dual-energy CT imaging was performed on the patients. The CT values of virtual noncontrast (VNC) images and iodine concentration of the lesion were measured, and the standardized iodine concentration ratio was calculated. The iodine concentration, iodine concentration ratio and CT values of VNC images of different pathological types were analyzed and compared. RESULTS: The iodine concentration and iodine concentration ratio of gastric mucinous carcinoma patients in venous phase and parenchymal phase were lower than those of gastric non-mucinous carcinoma patients, and the differences were statistically significant (P< 0.05). The iodine concentration and iodine concentration ratio of patients with mucinous adenocarcinoma in venous phase and parenchymal phase were lower than those of patients with choriocarcinoma, and the differences were statistically significant (P< 0.05). The iodine concentration and iodine concentration ratio of middle and high differentiated adenocarcinoma patients in venous phase and parenchymal phase were lower than those of low differentiated adenocarcinoma patients, and the differences were statistically significant (P< 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in CT values of VNC images among venous, arterial, and parenchymal phases in all pathological types of gastric cancer patients (P> 0.05). CONCLUSION: Dual-energy CT imaging plays an important role in the preoperative evaluation of patients with gastric cancer. The pathological types of gastric cancer are different, and the iodine concentration will change accordingly. Dual-energy CT imaging can effectively evaluate the pathological types of gastric cancer and has high clinical application value.

RESUMO

AIM: To determine the clinical characteristics, pathological types, tumor markers, treatments, and outcomes of Chinese patients with primary lacrimal sac lymphoma. METHODS: This case-based retrospective study analyzed 15 Chinese patients with primary lacrimal sac lymphoma. The clinical data collected included gender, age at diagnosis, symptoms, imaging examination results, pathologic diagnosis, pathogen identification, tumor markers, treatments, follow-up, and prognosis. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the patients. Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from surgery to the last follow-up, first record of tumor recurrence, or death. RESULTS: There were 7 males and 8 females with unilateral primary lacrimal sac lymphoma in the left eye (n=6) or right eye (n=9). The initial symptom in 13 patients was epiphora, and 2 patients had redness and swelling in the lacrimal sac area. All patients ultimately developed epiphora, and 12 had masses in the lacrimal sac area. Analysis of preoperative plasma tumor markers indicated 14 patients had elevated homocysteine, 9 had elevated ß2-microglobulin, and 2 had elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH); 2 patients had elevations of all three markers, and 1 patient had no elevation of any marker. All patients underwent surgical resection and 12 patients received postoperative chemotherapy. The pathological types were DLBCL (n=8), MALT lymphoma (n=5), and NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (n=2). The mean follow-up time was 25.8mo (range: 4-41) and 2 patients died. Seven patients who underwent mass excision combined with dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) had no postoperative epiphora. Eight patients who only underwent mass excision had varying degrees of postoperative epiphora. Preoperative LDH elevation and NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type were associated with poor prognoses. CONCLUSION: Early diagnosis and treatment can lead to a good prognosis for most patients with primary lacrimal sac lymphoma. Mass resection combined with DCR can reduce the occurrence of post-surgical epiphora. The pathology type and tumor marker status are associated with prognosis.

RESUMO

Objective: This study aims to establish and validate a new nomogram for predicting brain metastasis from lung cancer by integrating data. Methods: 266 patients diagnosed as lung cancer between 2016 and 2018 were collected from Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences. The first 70% of patients were designated as the primary cohort and the remaining patients were identified as the internal validation cohort. Univariate and multivariable logistics regression were applied to analyze the risk factors. Independent risk factors were used to construct nomogram. C-index was used to evaluate the prediction effect of nomogram.100 patients diagnosed as lung cancer between 2018 and 2019 were collected for external validation cohorts. The evaluation of nomogram was carried out through the distinction and calibration in the internal validation cohort and external validation cohort. Results: 166 patients were diagnosed with brain metastasis among the 266 patients. The gender, pathological type (PAT), leukocyte count (LCC) and Fibrinogen stage (FibS) were independent risk factors of brain metastasis. A novel nomogram has been developed in this study showed an effective discriminative ability to predict the probability of lung cancer patients with brain metastasis, the C-index was 0.811. Conclusion: Our research provides a novel model that can be used for predicting brain metastasis of lung cancer patients, thus providing more credible evidence for clinical decision-making.

RESUMO

In the diagnosis and treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the histological type may change from lung adenocarcinoma to lung squamous cell cancer or small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Pancreatic metastasis is extremely rare in advanced lung cancer, and pancreatitis characterized by lung cancer metastasis-induced acute pancreatitis (MIAP) is more rare. This paper reports in detail the clinical diagnosis and treatment of a female patient with lung adenocarcinoma who relapsed after radical surgery and progressed after multiple treatments. A second pathological biopsy revealed SCLC transformation, and the patient developed pancreatic metastasis and lung cancer MIAP during follow-up treatment. This paper mainly suggests that clinicians should pay attention to the possibility of pathological type transformation in the progression of advanced NSCLC, closely observe the dynamic changes of tumor markers and pay attention to the re-biopsy pathological analysis. In addition, it provides clinical experience and scientific reference for the discovery, diagnosis and treatment of transforming SCLC and lung cancer MIAP.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic value of the serum tumor markers carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin-19-fragment (CYFRA21-1), squamous cell carcinoma associated antigen (SCCAg), neuron-specificenolase (NSE) and pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP) for lung cancers of different pathological types. METHODS: This study was conducted among patients with established diagnoses of lung adenocarcinoma (LADC, n=137), lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC, n=82), small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC, n=59), and benign chest disease (BCD, n=102). The serum tumor markers were detected for all the patients for comparison of the positivity rates and their serum levels. ROC curve was used for analysis of the diagnostic efficacy of these tumor markers either alone or in different combinations. RESULTS: In patients with LADC, the positivity rate and serum level of CEA were significantly higher than those in the other groups (P < 0.05); the patients with LSCC had the highest positivity rate and serum level of SCCAg among the 4 groups (P < 0.05). The positivity rates and serum levels of ProGRP and NSE were significantly higher in SCLC group than in the other groups (P < 0.05). CYFRA21-1 showed the highest positivity rate and serum level in LADC group and LSCC group. With the patients with BCD as control, CEA showed a diagnostic sensitivity of 62.8% and a specificity of 93.1% for LADC, and the sensitivity and specificity of SCCAg for diagnosing LSCC were 64.6% and 91.2%, respectively. CYFRA21-1 had the highest diagnostic sensitivity for LADC and LSCC. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of ProGRP for SCLC were 83.1% and 98.0%, respectively. When combined, CYFRA21-1 and CEA showed a high sensitivity (78.8%) and specificity (86.3%) for diagnosing LADC with an AUC of 0.891; CYFRA21-1 and SCCAg had a high sensitivity (84.1%) and specificity (87.3%) for diagnosing LSCC with an AUC of 0.912. NSE combined with ProGRP was highly sensitive (88.1%) and specific (98.0%) for diagnosis of SCLC, with an AUC of 0.952. For lung cancers of different pathological types, the combination of all the 5 tumor markers showed no significant differences in the diagnostic power from a combined detection with any two of the markers (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: CEA, CYFRA21-1, SCCAg, NSE and ProGRP are all related to the pathological type of lung cancers and can be used in different combinations as useful diagnostic indicators for lung cancers.

RESUMO

Background: The incidence and mortality of lung cancer ranks first in China. Bronchoscopy is one of the most common diagnostic methods for lung cancer. In recent years, image recognition technology(IRT) has been more and more widely studied and applied in the medical field. We developed a diagnostic model of lung cancer under bronchoscopy based on deep learning method and tried to classify pathological types. Methods: A total of 2238 lesion images were collected retrospectively from 666 cases of lung cancer diagnosed by pathology in the bronchoscopy center of the Third Xiangya Hospital from Oct.01 2017 to Dec.31 2020 and 152 benign cases from Jun.01 2015 to Dec.31 2020. The benign and malignant images were divided into training, verification and test set according to 7:1:2 respectively. The model was trained and tested based on deep learning method. We also tried to classify different pathological types of lung cancer using the model. Furthermore, 9 clinicians with different experience were invited to diagnose the same test images and the results were compared with the model. Results: The diagnostic model took a total of 30s to diagnose 467 test images. The overall accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and area under curve (AUC) of the model to differentiate benign and malignant lesions were 0.951, 0.978, 0.833 and 0.940, which were equivalent to the judgment results of 2 doctors in the senior group and higher than those of other doctors. In the classification of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC), the overall accuracy was 0.745, including 0.790 for SCC, 0.667 for AC and AUC was 0.728. Conclusion: The performance of our diagnostic model to distinguish benign and malignant lesions in bronchoscopy is roughly the same as that of experienced clinicians and the efficiency is much higher than manually. Our study verifies the possibility of applying IRT in diagnosis of lung cancer during white light bronchoscopy.

RESUMO

Background: Helicobacter Pylori (H. pylori) infection is the most important factor affecting clinical outcome in patients with gastric mucosal lesions. This study aimed to investigate H. pylori infection in patients with gastric mucosal lesions and their virulence genotype in Guiyang, China. Methods: Pathological examinations of 1,364 biopsies from patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms and H. pylori infection were analyzed according to different pathological types. The bacterial genome DNA was extracted from H. pylori strains isolated from gastric biopsies, and the cagA, vacA, and iceA virulence genes were detected and typed to analyze the correlation of their genotypes between different pathological lesions. Results: The positive rate of H. pylori infection was approximately 19.9% (272/1,364), as determined by histopathological examination (HPE). It was more frequently detected in men than in women. A total of 85 H. pylori isolates were obtained from 280 clinical samples (positive rate 30.4%, 85/280). Of these 85 strains, cagA, vacA, and iceA genes were identified in 85.9%, 100%, and 83.5% of samples, respectively. Approximately 74.1% of strains were cagA East Asian type (cagA-ABD), and 11.8% of were cagA Western strains (cagA-AB, cagA-ABC), only present in patients with chronic non-atrophic gastritis. Gastric intraepithelial neoplasia and gastric cancer harbored both Asian strains. A total of 7 combinations of vacA genotypes were noted, among which s1c/m1b (30.6%) and s1c/m2 (41.2%) were the dominant genotypes. The predominant iceA genotype was iceA1 (64.7%). Conclusions: We observed that the positive rate of H. pylori infection was related to the pathological type of patients' gastric mucosal lesions. Isolated H. pylori strains showed a unique genotype, mainly East Asian type cagA (ABD), vacA s1c/m2 genotype, and iceA1. These results provide an important reference for further studies of H. pylori in Guizhou province, China.
