8 patients (7 women and 1 man, age between 35 and 66 years, mean 46.3) suffering from a stenosis or occlusion of the pelvic or superficial femoral vein after surgical or percutaneous intervention were successfully treated with endovascular stents of the wallstent type. Clinical and Doppler sonographic as well as phlebographic controls showed patency of all stented lesions at followup times between 3 and 82 months (average 27 months). The use of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in the venous system in combination with implantation of self-expanding vascular endoprostheses offer a new therapeutic modality to treat veins with stenosis or occlusion of benign etiology without surgical intervention.

Melanonychia describes black pigmentation of the nail plate that results from either melanocyte activation (such as infections, local inflammatory disorders, local trauma affecting the nail plate, numerous systemic conditions, and medications) or melanocyte hyperplasia (such as benign neoplasms or malignant tumors) or blood (resulting from a trauma-associated subungual hematoma). The black dyschromia may include not only the nail plate but also the proximal nailfold. The Hutchinson sign refers to black discoloration of both the proximal nailfold and adjacent nail plate when the underlying pigmented lesion is a malignant melanoma.

Cutaneous arteriovenous haemangioma (AVH) is a rare benign vascular lesion, which typically occurs on the head and neck. Its aetiology is unclear but thrombosis, trauma, infection or endocrine triggers have been proposed. We report the case of a 64-year-old female presenting with acquired AVH of the upper lip following oral herpes simplex virus infection.

The ABCB4 gene encodes multidrug resistance protein 3(MDR3), which is a phosphatidylcholine(PC) transfer enzyme that transfers lecithin from the inner part of the phospholipid bilayer to the extracellular bile. The occurrence of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy(ICP) is closely related to ABCB4 variants, but there is limited research on this topic in southern Anhui, China. We sequenced ABCB4 in pregnant women with ICP and healthy pregnant women to explore the relationship.

The monoclonal immunoglobulins produced in these disorders can result in various renal pathologies, which may present as differing degrees of renal insufficiency. In severe instances, patients may necessitate dialysis or kidney transplantation.
