EB virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous y-herpes virus,which asymptomatically infects greater than 90 ％ of the world's population.EBV is closely related to development of several kinds of lymphomas that include B-,T-and NK-cell derived.Subsequent studies have proven that EBV gene expression product plays an activating and/or promoting role on lymphomagenesis,and paves the way for EBV associated lymphomas immunotherapy.This review focuses on the EBV associated lymphomas in 2008 WHO classification of tumours of haematopoietic and lymphoma tissues.

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive (ALK+) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a rare subtype of DLBCL. ALK+DLBCL has a characteristic immunoblastic/plasmablastic morphology, a distinct immunophenotypic profile, and recurrent cytoge-netic/molecular genetic abnormalities. The occurrence of this type of lymphoma has been reported in both adult and pediatric popula-tions. Although rare, this new entity should be recognized because most cases follow an aggressive clinical course with a poor progno-sis. The response of ALK+DLBCL to conventional chemotherapy is poor. The recently discovered small molecule ALK inhibitor may provide a potential therapeutic option for patients with this disease.

The clinical characteristics, therapeutic effects and complications of 32 incipient patients with acute Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada ( VKH) syndrome admitted in Wuxi Second Hospital during October 2010 to September 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 15 males and 17 females with a mean age of (41.3 ±14.1) years (22 -71 years), the time from the disease onset to treatment ranged from 3 to 20 days.Among 32 cases, 30 ( 94%) had premonitory symptoms. The multifocal bullous neurosensory detachment, optic disk hyperemia and edema in posterior pole of fundus were found in all cases, and exudative retinal detachment was found in 4 cases (6 eyes).The results of optical coherence tomography ( OCT) showed the macula neurosensory detachment, thick retinal neuroepithelial layer and wavy RPE layer in all patients.Fundus fluorescein angiography ( FFA) showed that scattered hyperfluorescence dots and cystic fluorescein reservoir was observed in early phase and later period respectively.Patients received intravenous methylprednisolone with the onset dose of 80 mg per day for 3-7 days and oral administration followed, which would gradually decrease later;the average treatment duration was (52.9 ±14.6) weeks. The visual acuity of 40 eyes (22 cases) was recovered to more than 0.8, and no blindness occurred after the treatment.During the treatment hair loss, depigmentation of skin and hair were found in 12 cases (38%) , and 2 cases showed short-term elevated intraocular pressure.These symptoms disappeared after drug therapy ceased.And no recurrence was found during the follow-up of 6 months.However, sunset glow fundus was found in 13 patients (26 eyes).The study shows that the diagnosis of VKH syndrome is based on the typical signs of the fundus presented on OCT and FFA.Early and systemic administration of glucocorticoids is important treatment for patients with VHK syndrome, which could decrease systemic and local complications effectively.

The current official quality control approaches meet the challenges from the complexity of herbal medicines.In fact,any herbal medicines containing numerous unknown components,its curative effect usually depends on the whole of herbal medicines,so it is impossible and unnecessary to qualitatively and quantitatively study every component.By investigating the limitations of current quality control approaches for herbal medicines and the difference and similarity in the chemical substantial style as well as quality control pattern of herbal medicines,a new quality control approach for Chinese herbal medicines should be explored and designed.The combination approach of chemical analysis with bioassay is promising to be developed and employed in order to ensure the safety and efficacy of Chinese herbal medicines.

Objective To investigate the thawing modes on stability of coagulation control products after frozen,looking for a new theoretical basis for cost control and the quality and safety of laboratory.Methods Using ACL TOP 700 automated co-agulation analyzer and supporting the same batch of reagents and quality control materials conduct of the study:after daily QC,recycled the remaining control materials immediately and dispensed into two EP tubes and frozen at-40℃,respectively thawed by room-temperature and 37℃water bath after 24 hours,and examined together with the date of quality control ma-terial,got 20 pairs of data for analysis the financial impact of two alternate ways on coagulation QC parameters.Results For the room-temperature thawing group,FIB high value increasedby an average 0.23 g/L (t=4.026 9,P<0.05);TT normal value average reduction of 0.46 s (t=-3.813 8,P<0.05),TT high value reduced by an average 0.41s (t=-3.972 8,P<0.05);D-Dimer low-value increased by an average of 14.75 ng/ml FEU (t=2.281 6,P<0.05),while APTT,PT normal and high value,FIB normal value,D-Dimer high value were no significant difference after thawing (P>0.05).For the 37℃water bath group,both normal and high value of APTT,PT,FIB,TT and D-Dimer were no significant difference after tha-wing (P>0.05).Conclusion The commercialization of coagulation control materials can be for the second QC,just follow the principle of rapid after melting and timely detection,other laboratories can be used as a reference.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of D-dimer age-adjusted threshold in elderly patients with Pulmonary thromboembolism(PTE).Methods Collected patients older than 50 years of suspected PTE,who visited Yan′an People′s Hospital and the Hospital Affiliated to Yan′an University from June 2015 to September 2016,using the revised Geneva criteria for clinical probability assessment firstly.The low-risk group was excluded from the study;the patients with moderate-to-high risk were performed D-dimer detection and CTPA.All patients determined both by D-dimer age-adjusted thresholds and traditional thresholds,comparing the diagnostic efficacy of the two methods subsequently.Results 163 patients were diagnosed with PTE by CTPA among the 549 subjects,the positive rate was 29.69％.The diagnostic sensitivity of plasma D-dimer was 83.44％,78.53％,the specificity was 17.88％,31.61％ respectively,the missed diagnosis rate was 16.56％,21.47％,respectively.The misdiagnosis rates were 82.12％ and 68.39％,respectively,and the Younden index was 0.013 2 and 0.101 4 respectively.All subjects were divided into four groups according to age:50-60 years,60-70 years,70-80 years,and equal or greater than 80 years age group.Compared with the traditional threshold,the misdiagnosis rates of the four groups of age-adjusted thresholds decreased by 4.00％,15.70％,21.36％ and 17.39％,respectively and the specificity was increased by 1.23,1.65,2.56 and 3.00 times,respectively.Conclusion The diagnostic accuracy of the age-corrected threshold is higher than the traditional threshold;combined with clinical practice,the optimal threshold is determined by the ROC curve,the clinician can serve as a reference.

Objective: To investigate the knowledge and behaviors related to hepatitis B prevention and control among carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), so as to provide the basis for conducting health education and interventions for HBsAg carriers. Methods: Based on the seroepidemiological survey of hepatitis B among individuals aged 1 to 69 years in Shaanxi Province, HBsAg carriers were selected as the study subjects. Basic information, knowledge and behaviors about hepatitis B prevention and control were collected through questionnaire surveys. The awareness of hepatitis B prevention and control knowledge and related behaviors among HBsAg carriers were analyzed. Results: A total of 107 HBsAg carriers were enrolled, including 52 males (48.60%) and 55 females (51.40%), and had a median age of 47.04 (interquartile range, 19.78) years. The awareness of hepatitis B prevention and control knowledge ranged from 56.07% to 87.85% among HBsAg carriers, with the highest awareness for "hepatitis B vaccination can effectively prevent hepatitis B "(87.85%), and the lowest awareness for "sharing meals with HBsAg carriers or hepatitis B patients will not lead to infection" (56.07%) and "hepatitis B can be treated with antiviral drugs" (61.68%). The proportions of those who did not seek medical consultation, undergo regular check-ups, or receive treatment were relatively high, at 65.42%, 72.90% and 77.57%, respectively. Conclusions The awareness of hepatitis B transmission routes and treatment-related knowledge among HBsAg carriers is relatively low, and their medical-seeking behaviors are relatively passive. There is a need to enhance the dissemination of hepatitis B prevention and control knowledge, improve medical-seeking behaviors, and reduce the risk of hepatitis B virus transmission.

Objective To assess the value of imaging examination technologies such as 2-D ultrasound(2-DUS),helical computed tomography (CT),contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) and contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) in the positioning and qualitative diagnosis of pancreatic diseases.Methods 2-DUS,helical CT findings were comparatively reviewed to analyze in 44 cases(45 lesions) with pancreatic space-occupying lesions verified by operation and pathology,and investigated the enhanced mode and the perfusion features of CEUS and CECT in different phases.Results In 45 lesions,there were 29 malignant lesions and 16 benign lesions.CEUS and CECT had greater diagnostic value compared to 2-DUS and helical CT.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of 2-DUS for the malignant lesions were 72.41 ％,62.50％ and 66.67 ％,while the helical CT were 68.97％,75.00 ％ and 68.89 ％.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of CEUS for the malignant lesions were 93.10％,87.50％ and 91.11％,while the CECT were 86.21％,93.75％ and 86.67％.There was no statistical difference between CEUS and CECT in detecting pancreatic space-occupying lesions.Conclusions CEUS and CECT can provide more accurate diagnosis on for pancreatic space-occupying lesions than 2-DUS and helical CT.Following CECT,CEUS is a new technology for diagnosis on pancreatic space-occupying lesions.

ObjectiveTo study the associations of Val66Met functional polymorphism in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)with creativity and personality traits in a healthy college student population.MethodThe creativity performance and personality traits of the 830 healthy college students (272 males and 558females) were assessed with Williams Creativity Scale (CAP) and adult Eysenek Personality Questionnaire (EPQ),then study was performed on the association Val66Met in BDNF with creativity and personality traits.ResultsThe results indicated that Val66Met was significantly associated with the curiosity of CAP (F=0.519,P=0.036).The numbers of Val allele showed a positive correlation to the performance of curiosity.Val66Val genotype individuals had the best performance (31.924 ± 4.010 ) while the Met66Met ones showed the worst performante(30.889 ± 3.478).However,the association of Val66Met with the personality traits of EPQ was uot significant in the study (P＞ 0.05).Furthermore,there was no a significant effect of the interaction between the genetic variant and Extraversion/Introversion on the curiosity of CAP (P =0.747 ).ConclusionThe present study suggests that Val66Met in BDNF contributes to creativity,but not to personality traits in the population.

Objective To investigate the relationship of androgen receptor (AR) CAG repeat polymorphism and coronary artery disease (CAD) in elderly men and its potential mechanism.Methods Totally 296 elderly men undergoing coronary angiography were enrolled in this study.Serum total testosterone (TT) and free testosterone (FT) levels were measured.Androgen receptors (ARs) in peripheral lymphocytes were determined by flow cytometry.Genome DNA was extracted from peripheral leucocytes using standard techniques.Gene fragments containing AR CAG repeats were amplified by PCR with specific fluorescent labeled primers.PCR products were separated with agarose gels.CAG repeat number of each sample was obtained by genotyping.Results AR CAG repeats varied from 11 to 28 (P25-P75:18-22; median:20) in elderly male patients.They were divided into the long AR group (CAG repeats≥22,n=82) and the short AR group (CAG repeats＜22,n=214).Compared with the long AR group,serum FT level was much lower in the short AR group [(24.1±23.1) ×10-6mmol/L vs.(31.2±27.8)×10-6mmol/L,P＜0.05].The prevalence of coronary artery disease was higher in the short AR group than in the long AR group [84.1％ (180 cases) vs.69.5％(57 cases),P＜0.05].The FT level was lower in the short AR group combined with CAD than in the control group [(22.4±20.5) ×10-6mmol/L vs.(33.6±32.4)×10 6mmol/L,P＜0.01].There were no significant differences in serum TT and AR levels between the long and short AR groups.No significant correlations were found in the AR CAG repeats polymorphism with FT,TT or AR levels.Age was the main risk factor for FT and AR levels.Logistic regression analysis showed that FT level was negatively correlated with CAD (OR=0.98,95 ％ CI:0.973-0.998,P=0.01),and short AR increased the risk of CAD in elderly male patients (OR=3.44,95％CI:1.887-6.264,P＜0.01).Conclusions Serum FT level is correlated with age and is significantly decreased in elderly male patients with short AR repeats,which may increase the risk of CAD in elderly men.
