Objective To study the expression of N-myc downstream regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) in renal cell carcinoma and its relationship with microvessel density (MVD) and clinicopathologic parameters.Methods Immunohistochemical study for NDRG1 and CD34 was performed on paraffin sections of cases of renal cell carcinoma and adjacent non-neoplastic renal parenchymal tissue. MVD was analyzed by CD34immunostaining.Results Immunohistochemical study showed that non-neoplastic proximal convoluted tubule, distal convoluted tubule and collecting ducts was positive for NDRG1 (membranous and cytoplasmic). The expression rate of NDRG1 in renal cell cancer was 51%, which was significantly lower than that in normal renal tissues of 100 % (P <0.05).Clinicpathologically, the result also showed a close relation between lower NDRG1 expression and higher pathologic grade (χ2 =9.968, P =0.007), later clinic stage (χ2= 6.437,P =0.011), lymph node metastases (χ2=5.800, P =0.016) and higher MVD of cancer (t =2.235, P =0.030)whereas no relation with other factors. Conclusion NDRG1 might play as a cancer suppressor gene in renal cell carcinoma in that it could be correlated with tumor invasion and metastasis.It might also suppress tumor growth and metastasis by regulation of tumor angiogenesis.

Objective:To explore the effect of combining repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) with constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) in rehabilitating the upper limb functioning of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.Methods:Sixty children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy were recruited and randomly divided into a control group ( n=30) and an experimental group ( n=30). Both groups were given conventional rehabilitation therapy and intensive one-to-one CIMT of the affected hand for 30 minutes 5 times a week for 4 successive weeks. The healthy hand was immobilized in a hand cushion for 3 hours. The experimental group was additionally provided with 20 minutes of rTMS at 1.0Hz, 5 times a week for the same 4 weeks. Before and after the treatment, both groups were evaluated using the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales (PDMS-2 FM) and an upper extremities function test (UEFT). Results:After 4 weeks of treatment there was significant improvement in both groups with regard to the average PDMS-2 FM and UEFT scores. The improvement in the experimental group was significantly better.Conclusions:rTMS combined with CIMT can effectively improve upper limb motor function and promote the fine motor development of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

Purpose:
Lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) is an invasive neoplasm of precursor T-cell or B-cell lineage.A broadly accepted standard treatment for adult LBL has not yet been defined.
Materials and Methods:
To address this issue, we compared two chemotherapy regimens: a modified non-Hodgkinlymphoma Berlin–Frankfurt–Mu!nster-95 (NHL-BFM-95) regimen and HyperCVAD/MA. Thisretrospective study consecutively enrolled 207 adult LBL patients at two hospitals from2000 to 2018. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to assess prognostic factors.
Results:
In the present study, most clinical characteristics were similar between the two treatmentgroups except for age and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level. Patients treated with modifiedNHL-BFM-95 regimen tended to be younger and with elevated LDH level. The modified NHLBFM-95 regimen produced better treatment outcomes than those with HyperCVAD/MA inpatients with T-LBL or patients < 40 years. Treatment with HyperCVAD/MA, high EasternCooperative Oncology Group scores, and bone marrow involvement were independent riskfactors in T-LBL. No patients interrupted treatment for severe adverse events.
Conclusion
The results suggested that the modified regimen is well-tolerated and can produce the promisingoutcomes in patients with T-LBL or patients < 40 years.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of aerobic exercise on core symptoms and executive function in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). MethodsFrom June, 2020 to December, 2021, 64 children with ADHD at outpatient in Dushu Lake Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 32) and observation group (n = 32). The control group sat down and watched the cartoon for 20 minutes, and the observation group performed cycling exercise while watching the cartoon, for twelve weeks. The core symptoms were assessed with Conners Parent Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ), while the inhibition, conversion and refresh functions were assessed with the psychological test software E-Prime 2.0 system. ResultsAfter twelve weeks of treatment, the PSQ factor scores decreased in the observation group (t > 4.775, P < 0.001), and were lower than that of the the control group (t > 3.184, P < 0.001). The response time and accuracy of inhibition, conversion, and refresh functions decreased in the observation group (t > 2.259, P < 0.05), and were lower than that of the control group (t > 2.007, P < 0.05). ConclusionAerobic exercise could reduce the core symptoms of poor attention and hyperactivity impulsivity, and improve the executive functioning in children with ADHD.
