Objective To intensify the diagnosis and treatment of primary osseous Hodgkin disease (HD) and reinforce the impression of its features of pathology and imaging. Methods The clinical manifestation, laboratory examination, treatment and outcome of a patient with primary Hodgkin disease of the supermaxilla were first reported and the pertinent literatures were reviewed. Results Pain of the right supermaxilla was the first clinicM symptom. Plain X-rays showed mixed osteolytic and partially osteosclerotie lesions in the right supermaxiUa. The tumor was removed and the pathohistology was HD lymphocyte-depletion. The clinical diagnosis was primary HD of the supermaxilla (Stage Ⅰ ). The case was treated with ABVD regimen and no obviously adverse reaction appeared. Conclusion Primary osseous HD rarely presents as a malignant bone lymphoma and is easily misdiagnoed. Pathological and immunohistologic studies can be useful to confirm the diagnosis of primary osseous HD. Early diagnosis and the differentiation from other disease should be performed and the prognosis of the present-day chemotherapy regimen appears good.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the role of air pollutants in the development and exacerbation of autoimmune rheumatic diseases.Methods:We followed PRISMA guidelines and searched EMBASE, Scopus, PubMed, and Cochrane Library databases using keywords and MeSH terms from inception to July 2019. Observational studies reporting the relationship between autoimmune rheumatic diseases and exposure to certain air pollutants were included. Screening of literature according to established inclusion and exclusion criteria. No meta-analysis but the qualitative analysis was conducted due to the high methodological heterogeneity.Results:A total of 24 studies were included. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) ( n=6), anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) ( n=1), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) ( n=1), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) ( n=3), childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) ( n=3), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) ( n=2), Kawasaki disease (KD) ( n=4), systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARD) ( n=4). The results of the study suggested that short-term elevation in particulate matter (PM)2.5 concentration was possibly associated with an increased risk of SLE and cSLE flare-ups, disease activity of AS, JIA and SARDs exacerbation. Studies demonstrated an increased risk of RA with cumulative exposure to carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), ozone (O 3), and sulfur dioxide (SO 2). Only one study demonstrated an increased risk of KD admission with elevated O 3 levels. No association was found between AAV and ambient air pollution. Conclusion:Air pollution is likely to be involved in the development and exacerbation of certain autoimmune diseases. At the same time, the mechanism of autoimmune diseases of ambient air pollutants should be actively studied, so as to promote the early prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

Objective: To investigate the expression of miR-1269a in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues and its effect on the malignant biological behaviors of ESCC KYSE30 cells, as well as to explore the underlying mechanism. Methods: Ninety specimens of ESCC tissues and adjacent para-cancerous tissues were obtained from patients underwent surgery in Fourth Hospital, Hebei Medical University. In addition, normal esophageal immortalized epithelial cells and esophageal cancer cell lines were also collected. The expression level of miR-1269a in above mentioned tissues and cell lines was examined by Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. After being transfected with miR-1269a mimics and inhibitors, the effects of miR-1269a on proliferation, migration, invasion and colony formation of KYSE30 cells were detected by MTS, Transwell and colony formation assay, respectively. The bioinformatics tool was used to predict the possible target genes of miR-1269a. Then the regulation effect of miR-1269a on target gene expression was validated by WB and Dual-luciferase reporter assay. After being transfected with SOX6 plasmid, the effects of SOX6 on the proliferation, migration, invasion and colony formation of KYSE30 cells were detected by MTS, Transwell and colony formation assay, respectively. At last, rescue assay was used to confirm the results. Results: The expression level of miR-1269a in ESCC tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent para-cancerous tissues (P<0.05), and the expression level of miR-1269a in ESCC cell lines was significantly elevated compared with the normal epithelial cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The capacities of proliferation, invasion, migration and colony formation of KYSE30 cells in miR-1269a mimics transfection group were obviously higher than those in mimics NC group, while those abilities in miR-1269a inhibitor transfection group were significantly lower than those in inhibitor NC group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Bioinformatics analysis showed that miR-1269a could combine with 3’UTR region at SOX6 gene; and after miR-1269a over-expression, the expression level of SOX6 and luciferase activity in KYSE30 cells were significantly reduced (P<0.05). Rescue assay showed that miR1269a over-expression could promote the proliferation, invasion and migration of KYSE 30 cells, while simultaneous transfection of SOX6 could partially reverse the promotion effect of miR-1269a mimics. Conclusion: The expression level of miR-1269a in ESCC tissues and cell lines is significantly increased, and it could enhance proliferation, migration, invasion and colony formation of KYSE30 cell line.And its mechanism may be related to the suppression of its target gene SOX6.
