Objective To investigate the infection status and clinical features of common viruses in acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) among the hospitalized children 0 to 7 years old in Nantong of Jiangsu.Methods 1 376 swab samples from pharynx nasalis in the ALRI inpatients 0 to 7 years old were collected.The human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV),adenovirus (ADV),influenza virusA,B (IVA,B),parainfluenza virus Ⅰ ～ Ⅲ (PIV Ⅰ ～ Ⅲ)were detected by direct immunofluorescence assay,and the results were analyzed.Results In 1 376 respiratory tract samples,there were 577 cases(41.93％) of positive samples.In all positive samples,there were 376 cases of RSVpositive (65.16％),42 ADV-positive (7.28％),63 IVA-positive (10.92％),24 IVB-positive (4.16％),20 PIV Ⅰ-positive(3.47％),19 PIV Ⅱ-positive (3.29％),108 PIV Ⅲ-positive (18.72％),68 cases with mixed infection (11.79％) [two virus-positive ones in 59 cases (86.76％),three virus-positive ones in 9 cases (13.24％)].In different age group,the highest positive rate was in 0 ～ 6-month-old group(53.32％),with the lowest in 5-7 years old group(6.90％).Virus detection rate was higher in March 2012 (58.67％),December 2012 (53.33％),and January 2013(53.63％)than the rest months,including the lowest June 2012(33.33％).Bronchiolitis virus detection rate was the highest(69.23％)among ALRI.Conclusion The virus is major pathogen of children 0 to 7 years old with ALRI in Nantong of Jiangsu,and with difference among different ages,seasons and diseases.Infants and young children are the main affected population.

Objective To investigate the association of interleukin-6 (IL-6) with depression using meta analysis. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted to examine depression and interleukin-6 in Chinese patients us-ing“depression”and“interleukin-6”in Databases including PubMed, CBM, VIP, CNKI and WanFang Data. A me-ta-analysis was performed to analyze correlation between depression and interleukin-6 using RevMan 5.2.8 software. Results A total of 9 studies were recruited, involving 432 depression patients and 277 healthy controls. The results of meta-analysis showed that concentration of IL-6 was higher in depression patients than in healthy controls(SMD=1.48, 95%CI:0.78~2.18,P<0.05). Subgroup analysis in the first-episode subgroup and the non first-episode subgroup showed that concentration of interleukin-6 was higher in depression patients than that in controls [the first-episode subgroup (SMD=1.94,95%CI:0.07~3.81,P<0.05), the non first-episode subgroup (SMD=1.26,95%CI:0.60~1.93,P<0.05)]. Conclusion There is a good correlation between depression and the serum IL-6 concentration. Due to the small number of studies and heterogeneity in different studies, the present meta-analysis has not yet confirmed the quantitative correla-tion between IL-6 and depression.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the reliability of Bio-Oss particles as bone grafts in combination with membrane-technique.

METHODS6 small biopsy specimens were retrieved without causing iatrogenic damage in 6 patients (implant sites). The Donath's hard tissue section and micro grinding technique was adopted, and Leval Laczko staining method was used.

RESULTSThe histological results showed Bio-Oss particles were easily distinguished from the newly formed bone, but new bone was formed among different particles of Bio-Oss, no connective tissue was found. Intimate contact between newly formed bone and particles of the graft was present.

CONCLUSIONSBio-Oss appears to be highly biocompatible and osteoconductive. It can be used success fully as a bone substitute in combination with guided bone regeneration membrane technique.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinicopathological features of mucinous adenocarcinoma of salivary glands.

METHODSThe clinical manifestations and histopathological characteristics of 6 cases of mucinous adenocarcinoma of salivary gland were studied by retrospective and routine histopathology and immunohistochemistry.

RESULTSFour mucinous adenocarcinoma occurred in palate and 2 in mouth floor. Average age of patients was 60 years (48 - 70) and males were affected more often than females (4:2). Pathologically, the tumor grew with infiltration of surrounding tissues. The tumor consisted of unitary mucinous cells and mucin pool was obvious. The cell pleomorphism and nuclear mitosis were often seen. Some tumors showed acinus-like structure. Tumor cells often formed incomplete duct-like structure and small clusters floating in mucinous pool. There were intracellular mucin and signet ring cells in the tumor. Tumor cells showed positive reaction to PAS, Alcin blue, and some cytokeratin staining.

CONCLUSIONSMucinous adenocarcinoma of salivary gland is a rare malignant tumor which mainly affects palate and mouth floor of older patients. The tumor may originate from acinic cell of mucous acinus or multi-potential cell of salivary gland.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of occlusal trauma on the ultra-structure of synovial membrane and articular cartilage in rabbit's temporomandibular joints (TMJ). METHODS: TMJs from six rabbits with occlusal trauma and three control rabbits were studied by transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS: Degenerative changes in synovial membrane and articular cartilage of TMJ were induced following occlusal trauma. The structure of the articular surface was damaged, and chondrocytes in cartilage showed signs of degeneration. The synovial lining cells contained dense accumulations of vimentin intermediate filaments (IFs), which were especially prevalent in the cellular processes as well as paranuclearly. Microvilli on the synovial cell membrane were commonly seen. The "vermiform bodies" in the deeper interstitium of the synovial tissue were also found. Our findings of the punctate adherens between synovial lining cells were described in detail. CONCLUSIONS: The occlusal trauma is really a factor inducing degenerative changes of the TMJ.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the biological behavior and proper management of myoepithelial carcinomas of salivary glands.

METHODSTwenty-seven cases of myoepithelial carcinoma of salivary glands were retrospectively studied and their detailed clinical and follow-up data were presented.

RESULTSThe subjects consisted of 17 men and 10 women aged 16 to 73 years (mean age: 51 years). The parotid gland was the most common site (n = 14) of cancer. Clinical features included extensive local growth, invasion of the surrounding tissues, infrequent cervical lymph node metastasis but high rates of distant metastasis, frequent/multiple recurrences and poor prognosis.

CONCLUSIONSMyoepithelial carcinomas of the salivary gland should be classified as high-grade malignancies. Early and radical surgery with close follow-up are essential for achieving favorable outcomes. Radiotherapy appears to be non-sensitive and elective neck dissection is generally unnecessary.

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma （DLBCL） is a malignant tumor derived from mature B cells. Currently， chemotherapy is still the main clinical treatment. However， some patients experience recurrence or refractory conditions after treatment. On June 15， 2023， the FDA approved the marketing of glofitamab， a CD3/CD20 bispecific monoclonal antibody， to provide the new treatment plan for patients with recurrent or refractory DLBCL after receiving 2-line or above systemic treatment. This article reviews pharmacological effects， clinical studies， safety， usage and dosage of glofitamab. Glofitamab mainly plays a therapeutic role in DLBCL by promoting the activation and proliferation of T cells，activating T cells to release tumor cell-killing proteins， and mediating the lysis of B cells. Clinical studies have shown that glofitamab has a better complete and objective response rate for recurrent or refractory DLBCL. Common adverse reactions caused by glofitamab include mild/moderate cytokine release syndrome， musculoskeletal pain， rash， fatigue， and so on，without significant drug interactions.
