1.Advances and Updates on pathological diagnosis of lymphoma
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2016;43(14):613-619
The 2008 World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues (4th edition) has greatly advanced the diagnosis, treatment, academic exchange, and research of lymphoma worldwide. A new revised edition will be published soon, in which the diagnosis and management of lesions at the very early stages of lymphomagenesis, the diagnostic criteria for several entities, and the genetic/molecular landscape of numerous lymphoid neoplasms and their clinical correlates have been clarified, refined, detailed, and expanded. Furthermore, several new concepts have been suggested in the upcoming revised edition, although the framework of classification remains the same. These updates will lead to development of more targeted therapeutic strategies and increase our confidence in the era of precision medicine. This manuscript will review the major advances and updates that are helpful for our un-derstanding and improvement in tumor diagnosis.

Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine 2015;35(1):37-40
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Qiangji Recipe (QR) in ad- junctive treatment of axial undifferentiated spondyloarthritis (axuSpA) through a four-week open study.
METHODSFifty-four axuSpA patients of Shen-deficiency Du-channel cold syndrome (SDDCS) in line with inclusive criteria were recruited and assigned to the treatment group and the control group according to random digit table, 27 in each group. Patients in the control group took Celecoxib Capsule (0.2 g each time, twice per day). Patients in the treatment group additionally took QR (consisting of Herba Epimedii 15 g, antler glue 15 g, Cibotium Barometz 15 g, eucommia bark 20 g, dipsacus asper 10 g, two toothed achyranthes root 15 g, drynaria 15 g, Taxillus Chinensis 20 g, ground beetle 10 g, scorpion 5 g, wild celery 10 g, notopterygium incisium 10 g, cow-fat seed 10 g, white mustard seed 6 g, and licorice root 6 g, one dose per day, twice daily). The therapeutic course for all was 4 weeks. The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), the Bath AS Metrology Index (BASMI), total body pain and spinal pain, patient and physician global assessment on a four-point scale, the Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured before and after 4 weeks of treatment. The primary end point in this study was the proportion of patients with a 20%improvement response accord- ing to the ASAS International Working Group Criteria (ASAS 20 responders) at week 4.
RESULTSTotally 50 patients completed this trial, 26 in the treatment group and 24 in the control group. Improvement of BASDAI, BASFI, BASMI, ASQoL, ESR, and CRP was shown in both groups after treatment. Better effect was shown in the treatment group in all indices except ESR and BASMI after treatment (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Twenty cases (accounting for 76.92%) in the treatment group achieved ASAS 20 response at week 4, while 12 cases (accounting for 50.00%) in the control group achieved ASAS 20 response at week 4 (P < 0.05). No obvious adverse reaction occurred in the two groups.
CONCLUSIONQR combined Celecoxib Capsule showed better effect in treating axuSpA patients than using Celecoxib Capsule alone.

Objective To study the proportion and sonographic features of various kinds of diseases in the polypoid lesions of the gallbladder (PLG) diagnosed by ultrasonography, and to explore the reliability of ultrasonography for the diagnosis of PLG. Methods A total of 556 cases of PLG diagnosed by ultrasonography were classified basing on the results of pathological examination. And the accordance rate between ultrasonography and pathological examination in the PLG with different size was analyzed. Results Among the 556 cases of PLG, 446 (80.2%) had cholesterol polyps, 86 (15.5%) adenomatous polyps, 18 (3.2%) inflammatory polyps, and 6 (1.1%) myoadenoma. In 97.3% of the cholesterol polyps, the diameter was less than 1.0 cm, and 64.6% of the cases had multiple polyps. In the cholesterol polyps, the accordance rate between ultrasonography and pathological examination was 91.3%. Of the adenomatous polyps, 61.6% had a diameter over 1.0 cm, and 34.0% showed atypical hyperplasia or malignancy. However, 25% of the malignancies were found in the adenomatous polyps with a diameter less than 1.0 cm. Conclusions More than 80% of PLG are cholesterol polyps and 15.5% are adenomatous polyps. Most of the PLG with malignant transformation sized over 1.0 cm in diameter. However, the adenomatous polyps with a diameter ranged from 0.7 to 0.9 cm also have malignant tendency. In the cholesterol polyps, the accordance rate between ultrasonography and pathological examination is 91.3%, showing that ultrasonography is reliable for the diagnosis of the disease.
