Adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas(ASCP)is a rare entity. Like adenocarcinoma of the pancreas,overall survival is poor. Characteristics of ASCP include central tumor necrosis, along with osteoclasts and hypercalcemia. Various theories exist as to why this histological subtype exists, as normal pancreas tissue has no benign squamous epithelium. Due to the rarity of this disease, limited molecular analysis has been performed, and those reports indicate unique molecular features of ASCP. In this paper, we characterize 23 patients diagnosed with ASCP through molecular profiling using immunohistochemistry staining, fluorescent in situ hybridization, chromogenic in situ hybridization, and gene sequencing, Additionally, we provide a comprehensive literature review of what is known to date of ASCP.Molecular characterization revealed overexpression in MRP1(80%), MGMT(79%), TOP2A(75), RRM1(42%),TOPO1(42%), PTEN(45%), CMET(40%), and C-KIT(10%) among others. One hundred percent of samples tested were positive for KRAS mutations. This analysis shows heretofore unsuspected leads to be considered for treatments of this rare type of exocrine pancreas cancer. Molecular profiling may be appropriate to provide maximum information regarding the patient’s tumor. Further work should be pursued to better characterize this disease.

北五味子是传统中药材,近年来在制药、食品和饮料等工业中的需求不断增加。但是,盲目的开采使野生北五味子急剧减少;选育出的北五味子无性系新品种,也因为没有成熟的无性繁殖体系而得不到推广。通过体细胞胚发生快速繁殖再生植株是有效的解决扩大北五味子资源量的措施之一,具有重要的应用价值。本文对北五味子的体细胞胚发生进行了研究,为实现北五味子的快速繁殖、种质保存打下基础。主要结果如下:以北五味子种子发芽后的子叶
