Microscopy Examination

A 36 year old man presented with a mass in the chest and multiple “hot” focal lesions were identified on bone scan. Fine needle aspiration was performed of the chest mass. Routine histology showed the presence of some bundles of dense fibrous tissue and a diffuse infiltration of mononuclear cells, which varied in size and nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio. The smaller cells had eccentric hyperchromatic nuclei. Nucleoli were noted in the larger cells. There was well marked cytoplasmic vacuolation of some of the cells. Mitosis was present. A small fragment of tissue was received for electron microscopy. Examination of 1 μm sections showed trabeculae of medium-large polygonal cells with eccentric nuclei and occasional nucleoli. Some irregularly shaped cells had well marked cytoplasmic vacuolation. Mitotic figures were present.

Background: Duffy antigen / receptor for chemokines (DARC) possesses high affinity for several chemokine subgroups of CC and CXC. Although DARC has been shown to play a role in many inflammatory diseases, its effect on chronic venous disease (CVD) remains unidentified. We explored whether the expression of DARC in skin tissue was activated under venous hypertension as well as the relationships between DARC and inflammation. Materials and methods: The inflammation in a rat model of venous hypertension caused by a femoral arterial-venous fistula (AVF) was studied. At specified intervals the pressure in the femoral veins was recorded within 42 days. Hindlimb skin specimens were harvested at different time points. The expressions of DARC, interleukin-8 (IL-8), and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) in skin tissue were examined. Mononuclear cells infiltrated in skin tissue were detected. Results: Femoral venous pressures in AVF groups increased significantly at different time points (P < 0.01). DARC was expressed in skin tissue and its expression level increased significantly in AVF groups from the 7nd day on and was enhanced in a time-dependent manner within 42 days (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, both MCP-1 and IL-8 had higher levels, accompanied by increased mononuclear cells infiltrating into skin tissue (P < 0.05). Conclusions: A rat AVF model which can maintain venous hypertension for at least 42 days is competent for researching the pathogenesis of CVD. DARC, which plays a role in the inflammation of skin tissue under venous hypertension, may become a new molecular target for diagnosis and treatment of CVD at a very early stage.
