There are not yet uniform for the recognition and morphological description of Russell bodies and Mott cells.Some difficulties for the learner in clinical diagnosis were encountered.The characteristics of name and morphology of Russell bodies and Mott cells were described in this paper combined with many years of experience in clinical practice according to new point of view of (2008) World Health Organization classification of tumours of haematopoietic and lymphoid tissues and European Leukemia Net Morphology Faculty.

Based on the current situation of cell morphology of Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) and the reasons for missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis of CHS,the microscopic examination on peripheral blood smear should be emphasized. Some suggestions was proposed for improving staff′s understanding of CHS,unifying the standard of morphological diagnosis of CHS and performing further researches.

OBJECTIVETo observe therapeutic effect of acupuncture at Zhaohai (KI 6) and Shenmai (BL 62) on insomnia.

METHODSSeventy-eight cases of insomnia were randomly divided into a treatment group of 40 cases and a control group of 38 cases. The treatment group were treated with acupuncture at Zhaohai (KI 6) using reinforcing method and at Shenmai (BL 62) using reducing method, combined with acupuncture at acupoints selected according to syndrome differentiation. The control group were treated with acupuncture at acupoints selected according to syndrome differentiation. Their therapeutic effects were compared.

RESULTSThe cured rate and the total effective rate were 62.5% and 97.5% in the treatment group, and 31.6% and 68.4% in the control group, respectively, with significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture at Zhaohai (KI 6) and Shenmai (BL 62) has a better therapeutic effect on insomnia.

Objective To explore the pathogenesis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and its potential molecular targets.Methods Gene microarray data about JIA was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) in NCBI.Different expressed genes were identified through bioconductor packages in R programing.The causal genes from the different expressed genes were optimized and replenished by GLAD4U and ToppGene.Functional annotation information of causal genes was carried out by DAVID.Results List of causal genes was obtained as well as their enriched function.Some potential pathways such as Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction,Jak-STAT signaling pathway,which may be important in the progression of JIA were screened.Conclusions The pathogenesis of JIA,as well as its potential causal genes,can be captured through bioinformatics methods,so it may be used as time and cost saving method in experimental study and clinical application.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of conventional acupuncture combined with row-like puncture at sternocleidomastoid on peripheral facial palsy at recovery stage. METHODS: A total of 60 patients with peripheral facial palsy at recovery stage were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 30 cases in each one. Acupuncture was applied at affected Cuanzhu (BL 2), Yangbai (GB 14), Sibai (ST 2), Quanliao (SI 18), Jiache (ST 6), Dicang (ST 4), Hegu (LI 4), Taichong (LR 3) and Zusanli (ST 36) in the control group. On the basis of the treatment in the control group, row-like puncture was applied at sternocleidomastoid (1 needle was punctured at muscle origin and insertion respectively, 3 to 4 needles were row-like punctured at the connection line of muscle origin and insertion). The treatment was given once a day, 5 times were as one course, with 2-day interval, totally 4 courses were required in the both groups. The house-brackmann (H-B) facial nerve function grade, facial nerve function rating system-dynamic view rating scale score and facial disability index (FDI) scale score [including scores of FDI physical function (FDIp) and FDI social life function (FDIs)] before and after treatment were observed, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated in the two groups. RESULTS: After treatment, the H-B facial nerve function grades were improved compared before treatment in the both groups ( CONCLUSION Compared with conventional acupuncture, combination therapy with row-like puncture at sternocleidomastoid can improve the therapeutic effect of peripheral facial palsy at recovery stage.

Objective: To systematically review the safety and efifciency for dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) ≤ 6 months and DAPT ≥ 12 months in patients after drug eluting stent (DES) implantation. Methods: We collected the data for randomized clinical trials for DAPT ≤ 6 months and DAPT ≥ 12 months in patients after DES implantation up to 2015-01 by searching the literatures of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Scopus and Chinese literature database, and meanwhile collected the relevant reporting cases from both domestic and international cardiovascular conferences for this study. There were 2 investigators independently conducted the literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation, Meta analysis was performed with STATA 12.0 software. Results: A total of 15,378 patients from 7 eligible studies were enrolled and the patients were divided into 2 groups: DAPT ≤ 6 months group,n=7672 and DAPT ≥ 12 months group,n=7706. Meta analysis indicated that DAPT ≤ 6 months could effectively reduce the major bleeding (OR=0.58, 95% CI 0.37-0.91,P=0.017). While the other incidences between 2 groups were similar as all cause death (OR=0.90, 95% CI 0.73-1.11,P=0.314), cardiac death (OR=0.93, 95% CI 0.70-1.24,P=0.617), myocardial infarction (OR=1.13, 95% CI 0.91-1.41,P=0.275), in stent thrombosis (OR=1.21, 95% CI 0.79-1.85,P=0.382) and cerebrovascular accidents (OR=1.00, 95% CI 0.66-1.51,P=1.000). Conclusion: The incidence rates of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events are similar in patients with DAPT ≤ 6 months and DAPT ≥ 12 months after DES implantation. DAPT ≤ 6 month had the lower risk of bleeding, which is rather suitable for the patients received new generation of DES, with higher risk of bleeding, lower risk of thrombosis and with poor compliance to medication; however, the large and randomized clinical trials are needed to make ifnal conclusion.

Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a rare hereditary cornification disorder presented with abnormal skin scaling. In this paper, we used next-generation sequencing to determine the variants in a Chinese ARCI patient. We used sanger sequencing to verify bidirectionally the DNA from the proband and her parents. Results showes that two compound heterozygous variants (c.235G > T and c.641delG) in CYP4F22 gene, and both of the mutations are novel. The parents were heterozygous carriers. The two variants are classified as pathogenic variants based on interpretation guidelines. The compound heterozygous mutations in CYP4F22 gene were the causative mutations responsible for ARCI in proband.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of post stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). Method:Seven databases, including CNKI, WanFang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, The Cochrane library and ClinicalTrials.gov, were electronically searched for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of TCM in the treatment of PSCI. The Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included studies, descriptive analysis was carried out on the included studies, and the Meta quantitative analysis was carried out with RevMan 5.3 software. Result:A total of 16 RCTs were included with 1 296 participants, and they were assigned to the intervention group (n=649) and the control group (n=647). The results showed that TCM combined with western medicine group and TCM group were better than western medicine group in improving the scores of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE), Barthel Index (BI), Activity of Daily Living (ADL), Chinese stroke scale (CSS) and National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) of PSCI patients, and no serious adverse events were observed. Conclusion:TCM has potential advantages in improving the cognitive function of patients with PSCI, and it also has certain efficacy in improving the daily living ability and neurological impairment symptoms, and no serious adverse events have been observed. Due to the low quality of methodology included in the studies, in order to provide reliable basis for clinical decision-making, high-quality of RCTs are still needed to study the efficacy and safety of TCM for PSCI.
