Article Abstract

Microvenular hemangioma (MVH) is an uncommon benign vascular neoplasm that usually occurs as a solitary asymptomatic red or purple papule, nodule, or plaque with a predilection for the upper extremities. Patients with more than 1 lesion, that is, multiple MVHs, are extremely rare. We describe the clinicopathologic features of 4 Chinese patients who had a rapidly progressive abrupt onset of numerous MVHs numbering in the tens to hundreds. Clinically, the correct diagnosis of MVH could not be made in any of our patients; however, histologic examination revealed the characteristic features of MVH. Immunohistochemical stains were performed in all cases and showed the vessel lining cells to be positive for CD34, CD31, and factor VIII-related antigen. Polymerase chain reaction for human herpesvirus-8 was negative in all cases. The differential diagnosis and review of the literature of patients with multiple MVHs are presented.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality; patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at particularly high risk, highlighting the need for reliable biomarkers for early detection and risk stratification. We investigated whether combining the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) improves CHD detection in T2DM. In this retrospective cohort of 943 T2DM patients undergoing coronary angiography, associations of SHR and SIRI with CHD were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic splines; robustness was examined with subgroup and sensitivity analyses.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with neuro-immune - metabolic - oxidative (NIMETOX) pathways.

Aims: To examine the connections among NIMETOX pathways in outpatient MDD (OMDD) with and without metabolic syndrome (MetS); and to determine the prevalence of NIMETOX aberrations in a cohort of OMDD patients.

Methods: We included 67 healthy controls and 66 OMDD patients and we assessed various NIMETOX pathways.

Background: Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare catecholamine-secreting neuroendocrine tumors originating from the embryonic neural crest. Approximately 30% of PPGLs are hereditary and are frequently associated with genetic syndromes, including neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Composite PPGLs, which include components of both PPGLs and related tumors such as ganglioneuromas, are extremely rare in NF1 patients.

An expander capsule is a fibrous membrane that forms around an expander after tissue expansion. However, whether the capsule should be removed after the expander is removed remains controversial. The authors aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of cervical capsulectomy for improving neck mobility and appearance after expanded flap transfer.
