Methods: A retrospective analysis was made of the EMR or ESD postoperative pathological data of 100 cases of colonic polyps patients in the Jingzhou Central Hospital digestive internal medicine. The time is from March 2016 to March 2018. Results: In 100 cases of EMR or ESD operation, there are 65 cases of young and middle-aged group. Pathological examination results include: 34 cases of adenomatous polyp, 18 cases of inflammatory polyp, 11 cases of benign tumors, 1 case of malignant tumor, 1 case of hyperplastic polyp. There are 35 cases of elderly group. Pathological examination results include: 27 cases of adenomatous polyp, 2 cases of inflammatory polyp, 2 cases of benign tumors, 4 cases of malignant tumor. 71 cases of complete EMR operation include: 51 cases of adenomatous polyp, 17 cases of inflammatory polyp, 3 cases of benign tumors;29 cases of complete ESD operation include: 10 cases of adenomatous polyp, 3 cases of inflammatory polyp, 10 cases of benign tumors, 5 cases of malignant tumor, 1 case of hyperplastic polyp. Conclusion: For the pathological examination results after EMR or ESD operation, the proportion of inflammatory polyps in the young and middle-aged group was greater than that in the elderly group. The proportion of adenomatous polyps in the elderly group was larger than that in the young and middle-aged group. The proportion of adenomatous polyps in EMR was greater than that of ESD. The proportion of benign tumors and malignant tumors in ESD was greater than that of EMR. The difference has statistical significance.展开更多

Methods: In the present study, mesenteric and mediastinal lymph nodes of 200 sheep with different sex and age that were slaughtered in a Shahrekord slaughterhouse were collected. The lymph nodes were examined macroscopically and for histopathological examination, tissue samples were taken from the gross lesions processed routinely by paraffin method and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Results: Out of 200 examined sheep, the mesenteric lymph nodes in 18 sheep(9%) and the mediastinal lymph nodes of 9 sheep(4.5%) were infected by L. serrata nymphs. The infection rate increased with age, but no significant difference was observed between males and females or the two types of lymph nodes(P > 0.01). Different nonspecific gross and macroscopic lesions were seen in infected lymph nodes. L. serrata nymph sections were observed in some histopathological slides. Conclusions: It is concluded that the sheep may play an important role in linguatulosis of final hosts and human beings in this region.展开更多

Methods and Materials: Twenty patients (19 men, 1 woman;aged 69.4 ± 12.1 (mean ± SD) years) diagnosed with NMIBC underwent radical cystectomy during follow-up. Results: Five of the 20 patients (25%) had pathological upstaging in the radical cystectomy specimens. There was a statistical association between pathological upstaging and cancer death (p = 0.002). There were three patterns of pathological variation in the upstaged specimens: 1) in patients with BCG-resistant NMIBC, urothelial carcinoma invaded through the lamina propria;2) urothelial carcinoma showed diffuse invasion beyond the deep lamina propria, and the cancer cells had infiltrated as single cells and formed nodules;3) TURBT specimens showed a micropapillary variant. Conclusions: Since these pathological variations correlated with pathological upstaging, they may provide an indication for cystectomy in NMIBC patients.展开更多
