Objective To probe the relationship between the connectivity of premotor area detected by resting state functional MRI and stereotyped behavior of ASD.Methods 39 children patients with ASD and 42 healthy controls with matched age,sex and IQ were recruited.All the 81 subjects performed scaling with behavior scale index and underwent resting-state fMRI scans.After the fMRI data precession,the premotors in left and right sides were selected as ROI seeds to perform functional connectivity.Results Compared with healthy controls,children patients showed significant increased connectivity between the left premotor area and posterior cingulate cortex,as well as decreased functional connectivity between the left premotor area and the left insula.In addition, a negative linear correlation was showed between the connectivity of the left premotor and the insula and the behavioral scores.Con-clusion Imbalanced premotor functional connectivity may be one possible mechanism of stereotyped behavior of ASD,representing an attention deficit and/or impaired sensory perception to the external salient stimuli.

objective To investigate the differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells into neurons and transplantation of the stem ceils to repair rat hemisection spinal cord injury.Methods Adherent culture was used to isolate and culture rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs).The rat spinal cord homogenate supernatant was used to induce neural differentiation of the 3rd generation ceils.The nature of ceil differentiation was identified by immunohistochemistry.The rat model of hemisection spinal cord injury was prepared and BrdU was locally injected to label the induced neurons.The distribution of living cells in the injuried spinal cord was observed at 5 weeks after cell transplantation.Results MSCs were spindle and polygonal,with 1-2 nucleoli seen under the inverted microscope.After induction with spinal cord homogenate supernatant there were a number of slender cytoplasmic projections forming interwined network and showing nestin expression,therefore,indicating the neuronal nature.MSCs at 5 weeks after transplantation into the spinal cord injury were surviving and their expression of MAP-2,NF,GFAP was significantly higher than that in the control rats(P<0.05).The rat motor function was improved than before transplantation.Conclusion MSCs induced by spinal cord homogenate supernatant can be transplanted into hemisection spinal cord injury and improve the motor function of the injuries lesions.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of endobronchial ultrasound?guided transbronchial needle aspiration ( EBUS?TBNA) in the diagnosis of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, and to analyze the reasons of false negative results of EBUS?TBNA. Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical and imaging data of 389 patients who underwent EBUS?TBNA for sampling enlarged hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes from October 2009 to October 2015 in Shandong Tumor Hospital, to evaluate its significance in the diagnosis of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, and to analyze the reasons of false negative results. Results Among the 389 collected cases, positive biopsy results were obtained in 362 cases, and false negative results in 27 cases. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 92. 9%, 100%, 100% and 25. 0%, respectively. There was a positive correlation between the size of lymph node and biopsy positive rate (P=0.021). The subcarinal lymph nodes had the highest positive rate ( 97. 7%) , followed by the paratracheal lymph nodes ( 91. 2%) , with a statistically significant difference (P=0.006). The positive rates obtained by cytology (88.7%) and pathology (92.5%,) showed no significant difference ( P=0. 065 ) . The positive rate of EBUS?TBNA was not correlated with pathological types (P=0.932). Needle types (21G, 22G) had no significant effect on diagnosis accuracy (P=0.142). Conclusions EBUS?TBNA is a practical technology for diagnosis of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, with unique characteristics such as minimally invasiveness, local anesthesia, good safety and repeatability. Along with the accumulation of surgical experience, improvement of operative skills, more close cooperation between surgeons, cytologists and pathologists, false negative results will be reduced and positive rate of EBUS?TBNA examination will be further improved.

Chromosomal rearrangements involving the ROS1 receptor tyrosine kinase gene have recently been described in multiple malignancies, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ROS1 rearrangement defines a new molecular subset of NSCLC with the prevalence of ROS1 rearrangements around 1%-2%. ROS1-positive NSCLCs arise in young never-smokers with adenocarcinoma that are similar to those observed in patients with ALK-rearranged NSCLC. Crizotinib demonstrates in vitro activity and early clinical trial shows marked antitumor activity in ROS1-rearranged patients. The overall response rate is around 56% and the disease control rate at 8 weeks is about 76%. Further understanding the ROS1 fusions in the pathogenesis of NSCLC, methods to detect ROS1 rearrangements, and targeting ROS1-rearranged NSCLC patients with specific kinase inhibitors would lead to an era of personalized medicine.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical status of lymphoid tissue neoplasms patients with bacteria bloodstream infections, bacteriology and drug susceptibility results, and provide the basis for rational clinical anti-infection option.
Methods:
A retrospectively analysis of clinical data and bacterial susceptibility test results of patients with bacteria bloodstream infections from September 2010 to December 2014 was conducted.
Results:
A total of 134 cases including 107 patients with bloodstream infections were enrolled. 84 cases were male, 50 cases were female, the median age was 31 (12-71) years old. 112 cases were agranulocytosis, and 106 cases were severe agranulocytosis (ANC<0.1×109/L) . 27 cases underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, 100 cases received chemotherapy[33 cases with VD (I) CP±L (vincristine+daunorubicin/idarubicin + cyclophosphamide + prednison±asparaginasum) induction chemotherapy, 41 cases with intensive chemotherapy of Hyper-CVAD/MA or MA (mitoxantrone+cytarabine) , 26 cases with other chemotherapy regimens], and 7 cases were infected without chemotherapy. 10 patients discharged from hospital owing to treatment abandoning, 120 cases were cured through anti-infective therapy, 2 patients died of bacteria bloodstream infections, 1 patient died of sudden cardiac, and 1 patient died of GVHD after allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. A total of 144 strains were isolated, including 108 strains (75.0%) of Gram-negative bacteria and 36 strains (25.0%) of Gram-positive cocci. The susceptibility of Gram-negative bacteria to the carbapenems was 98.00%, and the adjustment treatment rate of carbapenems was 3.0%. The susceptibility of Gram-negative bacteria to the other antibiotics was 60.30%, and the adjustment treatment rate was 90.5%. The susceptibility of Grampositive cocci to the carbapenems was 49.3%, and to glycopeptides and linezolid was 100.0%. Comparing all patients’empirical use of antimicrobial agents with the drugs susceptibility results of blood cultures, 80.1% of the patients’initial drug selection was sensitive.
Conclusion
The lymphoid neoplasms patients experienced bacteria bloodstream infections most often after receiving the chemotherapy regimens of treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The majority type of bacteria was Gram-negative bacteria. Drug susceptibility test showed that susceptibility of Gram-negative bacteria to the carbapenems was the highest, and the treatment adjustment rate was obviously lower. The susceptibility of Gram-positive cocci to glycopeptides and linezolid was high, and which could be applied to the patients with Gram-positive cocci sepsis on basis of susceptibility results in general.
