Objective To study the expressions of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK-1) and cytotoxic proteins in primary systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (S-ALCL) and their relationship with clinical outcome. Methods 51 S-ALCL cases were collected from Lymphoma Lab of Peking University Health Science Centre & Peking Children's Hospital. The morphologic characteristics were studied under routine microscope, and essential immunohistochemical stainings were performed and reviewed to confirm the diagnosis of S-ALCL. Immunohistochemical stainings for ALK-1 and cytotoxic proteins (TIA-1 & granzyme B) were performed using standard SP method. Patients related clinical data including follow-up materials were collected. Results Survival time of 44 cases with completely clinical follow up materials ranged from 0.5~66months. 36 out of 51 cases(37 %) was positive for ALK-1 protein. While 20 cases out of 47 S-ALCL cases ( 42.55 % ) positive for granzyme B and 22 out of 28 cases (81.48 %) were positive for TIA-1. The prognosis of patients with ALK-1 protein positive and granzyme B negative expression was better, but TIA-1 expression might have nothing to do with clinical outcome (P>0.05). In addition, multivariate analysis confirmed that ALK-1 protein expression, granzyme B protein expression and Ann-Arbor stage system were possible for prognosis(P<0.05), Conclusion Expression of ALK-1 and granzyme B protein expression may serve as two independent prognostic predictors in S-ALCL patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant BA.2.2 infection in children with different basic diseases.Methods:A total of 76 children with different basic diseases admitted to Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from March 2 to June 10, 2022 were retrospectively analyzed in terms of clinical manifestations, supplementary examination, treatment and prognosis.These children were divided into hematologic tumor group and non-hematologic tumor group which included cardiopulmonary disease group, neurological disease group and congenital malformation group.The clinical characteristics and prognosis of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant infection in children with basic diseases were analyzed.Results:Among 76 children with basic diseases, 61 patients were newly diagnosed with fever and 15 patients were asymptomatic.There were 26, 22, 20, and 8 cases with hematologic tumor diseases, cardiopulmonary diseases, neurological diseases and congenital malformation, respectively.The average fever time was 3-7 days.There was no significant difference in the clinical manifestations among each group ( P>0.05). However, children with hematological tumors were more prone to single organ or multiple organ dysfunction.The level of C-reactive protein was higher than that in the non-hematologic tumor group, while the white blood cell count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count and hemoglobin were lower than those in the non-hematologic tumor group.The time of virus negative transformation and the duration of fever were higher than those in the non-hematologic tumor group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). Among the children in the hematologic tumor group, the blood routine and inflammation indexes of children infected with SARS-CoV-2 after chemotherapy within 2 weeks were worse than those in the non-chemotherapy group, and the duration of fever and the time of virus negative transformation were significantly longer ( P<0.05). Three children with hematologic tumor showed virus positive recovery after chemotherapy and surgical treatment after virus negative transformation. Conclusion:Omicron variant BA.2.2 of SARS-CoV-2 has no serious impact on children with cardiopulmonary diseases, nervous system diseases and congenital malformations.However, the duration of fever and virus positive time in hematologic tumor group extended, especially after chemotherapy.It has an important impact on the formulation of epidemic prevention and timing selection of chemotherapy for children with hematological tumors.

Objective:The operative approach and steps of laparoscopic right hemicolon cancer radical resection have been standardlized and professional consensus has been reached. However, some detailed issues such as the handling of Henle's trunk and whether to preserve the right gastroepiploic vein (RGEV) still remain controversial. This study investigates the safety, feasibility, short- and long-term outcomes of preserving RGEV during laparoscopic right hemicolectomy.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was carried out. Clinical data of 92 patients undergoing laparoscopic right hemicolectomy in Taizhou People's Hospital from March 2016 to May 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were treated with complete mesocolon resection (CME) and had complete postoperative pathological data and follow-up data. Based on the tumor location, 49 patients preserved RGEV (preservation group) and 43 did not (non-preservation group). Pathological data, postoperative complications, short- and long-term outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results:There were no significant differences in baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05). No significant differences were found in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, unplanned reoperation, anastomotic leak, number of harvested lymph nodes, number of metastatic lymph node, and time to food intake after surgery between two groups (all P>0.05). Compared with non-preservation group, the preservation group had faster recovery of anal gas passage after operation [(3.1±1.0) days vs. (4.0±1.7) days, t=-2.787, P=0.007], shorter length of hospitalization [(11.5±1.5) days vs. (15.0±7.9) days, t=-2.823, P=0.007], and reduced the hospitalization expenses [(46 000±5000) yuan to (57 000±33 000) yuan, t=-2.076, P=0.044]. No postoperative gastroparesis (PGS) occurred in the preservation group, while 6 cases in the non-preservation group developed gastroparesis during perioperative period ( P<0.05). The median time of follow-up time was 31.8 (5.2-43.7) months. The overall survival time of the preservation group and non-preservation group was (35.4±1.8) months and (37.6±1.7) months, respectively without significant difference ( P=0.336); the disease-free survival was (32.0±2.2) months and (35.5±2.0) months, respectively without significant difference as well ( P=0.201). Conclusions:Dissection of the Henle's truck and preservation of RGEV is safe and feasible during laparoscopic right hemicolectomy, which can significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative gastroparesis, shorten the recovery time of postoperative intestinal function and hospitalization, and decrease the cost of hospitalization. The efficacy of RGEV preservation is similar to non-preservation of RGEV.
