Aim To study modulation of NMDA recep-tors on inward rectifying potassium channels through investigation of retinal horizontal cells. Methods Whole cell recording was conducted on isolated retinal horizontal cells for observation of inward-rectifying po-tassium currents before and after application of NMDA. Modulation of inward-rectifying currents by NMDA re-ceptor was also tested under calcium-free and chelation of intracellular calcium condition. Results Reduction of inward rectifying potassium currents was induced by activation of NMDA receptors. The effect was attenua-ted when calcium was removed. Conclusion Inhibi-tion of inward rectifying potassium channels can be in-duced by activation of NMDA receptors via intracellular calcium signals.

BACKGROUND:The incidence rate of peripheral T cel lymphoma is high in Asia, and peripheral T cel lymphoma is aggressive with generaly poor prognosis. However, there is no standard treatment strategy. OBJECTIVE:To retrospectively analyze the therapeutic effect of autologous hematopoietic stem cel transplantation on peripheral T cel lymphoma as wel as relevant toxic and side effects. METHODS:A retrospective review was conducted in 35 patients with peripheral T cel lymphoma who underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cel transplantation from March 2003 to April 2014, including 22 cases of extranodal NK/T-cel lymphoma (nasal type), 1 case of angioimmunoblastic T-cel lymphoma, 8 cases of peripheral T cel lymphoma (non-specific), 3 cases of ALK-positive anaplastic large cel lymphoma, and 1 case of ALK-negative anaplastic large cel lymphoma. Al of 35 patients were classified pathologicaly according to WHO pathological type in 2001 and 2008, and received the high-dose chemotherapy with vincristine, cytarabine, etoposide, mitoxantrone, semustine, cyclophosphamide, and total body irradiation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After a median folow-up of 54 (9-120) months, the probabilities of overal survival and disease-free survival after transplantation were 80% (n=28) and 71% (n=25), respectively. Eight cases (23%) relapsed after transplantation, seven of which died. It was safe with mild and moderate transplantation related side-effects on opportunistic infections, oral cavity mucosa and bladder responses and so on, and there were no severe, life-threatening late complications. Autologous hematopoietic stem cel transplantation may be an effective and safe treatment for peripheral T cel lymphoma, and there is a better benefit in peripheral T cel lymphoma patients with first complete remission.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the curative effect of nasal type extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma by sequential chemotherapy combined radiotherapy compared with chemtherapy.
METHOD:
Fifty-seven cases of nasal type extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma confirmed by pathological morphology and immuno-histochemistry were divided into chemotherapy combined radiotherapy group (34 cases) or chemotherapy group (23 cases). Twenty-three patients in the chemotherapy group alternately applied CHOP, VDLP and MEOP regimen after each two treatments into the clinical observation; Chemotherapy combined radiotherapy group of 34 patients, in addition to the above chemotherapy, applied three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy of the primary site by linear accelerators. Then all of patients were ceased treatment and followed up 3-5 years.
RESULT:
(1) After treatment, effective rate of two groups was 91.2% and 87.0%, there was no obvious difference (P > 0.05); After follow up about 1 year, effective rate of two groups was 76.5% and 73.9%, there was no obvious difference (P > 0.05); (3) After follow up about 3 years and 5 years, disease free survival (DFS) of two groups was 61.3%, 47.6% and 43.5%, 21.4%, there was obvious difference (P < 0.05). (4) Long-term survival is closely related to treatment mode. (5) B symptoms, advanced (III, IV) stage, the International Prognostic Index (IPI), KPS scores were correlated with prognosis, and were independent prognostic factors.
CONCLUSION
Treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy for nasal type extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma had obvious curative effect and may improve long-term survival efficiently compared with chemotherapy alone.

Multiple myeloma is a type of hematological malignancy caused by clonal plasma cell proliferation. In recent years, the application of proteasome inhibitors and immune drugs (IMiDs) in multiple myeloma has prolonged the survival period of patients and improved the quality of life. However, due to the heterogeneity, recurrence and drug resistance of the disease, MM is still incurable. Relatively good response rates of immune checkpoint inhibitors such as Pembrolizumab, Nivolumab, Pidilizumab, Atezolizumab and Durvalumab offer MM a new hope. This article reviews the relevant literature in recent years, introduces the immune pathogenesis of MM, PD-1/PD-L1/2-related immune pathway and the current status of immunotherapy, to provide reference for the immunotherapy of MM.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of malaria in the peacekeeping mission area of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and to evaluate the efficacy of artemisinin based combination therapy (ACT), to provide clinical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of malaria.Methods:The clinical data of malaria-infected peacekeepers admitted to the Chinese Secondary Hospital of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in DRC (MONUSCO) from January 2014 to September 2020 were collected, and the general information, incidence characteristics, treatment and clinical outcomes of the patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results:From January 2014 to September 2020, 362 peacekeepers were hospitalized with malaria, the average annual incidence case was 54 cases per year, and the annual incidence was 9.5/1 000, with a median of 2.5 days (1 - 9 days) from onset to diagnosis. Severe malaria accounted for 7.73% (28/362) and uncomplicated malaria accounted for 92.27% (334/362). The incidence rate was 37.57% (136/362) in the dry season (April to September) and 62.43% (226/362) in the rainy season (October to March of the following year). After ACT antimalarial treatment, all patients were cured clinically. Eight cases recurred and were cured clinically after drug conversion ACT retreatment.Conclusions:In the peacekeeping mission area of DRC, peacekeepers are generally susceptible to malaria. ACT has a high cure rate, safety and efficiency in clinical treatment.

Objective:To propose the application of recognizing bone species by touching blindly (ARBTB) and verify its application effect in human anatomy experimental courses.Methods:The study included experiment 1 and experiment 2, and the research objects were 60 students majoring in clinical medicine in Batch 2019 and 60 students majoring in preventive medicine in Batch 2018, respectively. The research objects in each experiment were randomized into mainstream teaching method group and ARBTB group, with 30 students in each group. In experiment 1, after students studying for the same hours, both of two groups carried out the same test, and then the average scores of the two groups were compared. In experiment 2, the average time spent by the two groups of students in osteology learning was compared.Results:In experiment 1, ARBTB group's average score of the test was significantly higher than that of the mainstream teaching group ( P<0.001). In experiment 2, the ARBTB group took much less time in osteology learning than the mainstream teaching group ( P<0.001). Conclusion:Compared with the mainstream teaching method, ARBTB is more effective in osteology learning, which is worth popularizing.
