Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features, treatment and prognosis of patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AILT) complicated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:The clinical data of 2 cases of AILT with EBV-positive DLBCL in the Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, and the literature was reviewed.Results:One case of complex lymphoma (CL) developed from low fever with systemic superficial lymphadenopathy, the right axillary tumor biopsy showed that AILT complicated with EBV-positive DLBCL. After 8 cycles of chemotherapy, the patient reached unconfirmed complete remission, then received maintenance treatment with chidamide and survived until the deadline. Another case of discordant lymphoma began with subcutaneous nodules and then developed progressive enlargement of superficial lymph nodes. The pathological examination of subcutaneous nodule diagnosed as DLBCL, and the pathological examination of right inguinal lymph node diagnosed as AITL. After 7 cycles of chemotherapy, the patient died of hemophagocytic syndrome.Conclusions:AILT with EBV-positive DLBCL is rare. The main clinical symptom is AITL and the immunophenotypic characteristic indicates the presence of T cells and B cells. At the same time, the prognosis is poor, and the treatment strategy mainly depends on the lymphoma type with unfavorable prognosis.

Object:To investigate the impact of carbon nanoparticle tracing on the number of lymph nodes harvested in obese patients during radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods:Clinical data of 127 patients undergoing D 2 radical gastrectomy in the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Jan 2015 to Dec 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether the patients were injected with carbon nano particles during operation, they were divided into two groups: 64 patients without carbon nano particles during operation served as control group; 63 patients with carbon nano particles were included into experimental group. Results:The operation time of the control group was (160±31) min and that of the experimental group was (168±28) min ( t=-1.521, P=0.445). Intraoperative blood lose in the control group was (234±82) ml and that in the experimental group was (238±84) ml ( t=-0.295, P=0.846). The number of lymph nodes harvested in the first station, in the second station, the number of total lymph nodes and the number of lymph nodes with diameter <5 mm in the control group were less than those in the experimental group(10.4±3.8 vs. 24.5±10.6, t=-10.054),(6.6±2.8 vs. 16.8±7.3, t=-10.381),(17.1±6.4 vs. 41.2±17.6, t=-10.293),(3.9±2.5 vs. 21.2±9.1, t=-14.662) (all P<0.05), while the number of positive lymph nodes was not statistically different between the two groups all (5.9±6.2 vs. 4.2±3.4, t=-1.963, P>0.05). Black staining of lymph nodes in nano carbon group: 1 542 black stained lymph nodes were detected in the experimental group, the black staining rate of lymph nodes was 59.44% (1 542/2 594). Conclusion:Intraoperative application of carbon nanoparticles can significantly increase the number of harvested lymph nodes in obese (BMI≥25 kg/m 2) gastric cancer patients after radical resection.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic non-specific digestive disease with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and blood and mucus in stool as the main clinical manifestations and inflammatory injury of colorectal mucosa and submucosa as the main pathological changes. With the change in living habits and dietary structure of people, the incidence and cancer morbidity in UC are rising rapidly all over the world, which has seriously reduced the quality of life and caused a huge social burden. Till now, the pathogenesis has not been elucidated. In western medicine, aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressors are commonly used to relieve symptoms. However, the long-term application will lead to problems such as decreased efficacy and increased adverse reactions. There are more studies of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of UC by reducing the inflammatory response, alleviating oxidative stress, protecting the intestinal mucosal barrier, and regulating intestinal microecological imbalance by virtue of the advantages of integrated regulation based on multiple links, levels, and targets. In view of this, the present study reviewed the effect and mechanism of active ingredients of TCM, TCM extracts, TCM pairs, classic TCM compounds, and TCM combined with chemical agents in the treatment of UC based on relevant research articles in recent 10 years to provide references for seeking effective drugs.
