Hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation is closely associated with the progression of liver fibrosis.As an important component of the innate immune system,natural killer (NK) cells are enriched in the liver and play a key role in host defense against viral infection and tumor,and their anti-fibrotic effect has also been confirmed.NK cells can reduce liver fibrosis by killing early-activated or senescent HSCs or secreting interferon-γ.This article summarizes related research advances in recent years,and introduces the molecular immunological mechanism of NK cells in regulating HSCs and their potential anti-fibrotic effect based on the function and phenotype of NK cells and HSCs.

Objective To analyze the CT and MRI features of primary central nervous system lymphoma ( PCNSL) and improve the accuracy of MRI diagnosis.Methods MRI features of 13 cases with PCNSL confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed.All the cases were accepted MRI plain scanning and enhanced scanning. Tumor location, tumor size, signal intensity, enhancement characteristics, age distribution, cystic changes and the presence of calcification and intratumoral hemorrhage were assessed.Results Single lesion was found in 5 cases,and multiple lesions were found in 8 cases.Supra-tentorial lesions were found in 11 cases,the lesions involved both supra and infra tentorial were found in two cases.18 lesions located in deep-brain tissues,such as the thalamus,basal gan-glia,corpus callosum,midbrain and pons.7 lesions located at the surface of the brain,such as the temporal lobe,fron-tal lobe,occipital lobe and parietal lobe.The PCNSLs were found varied shapes in MRI,17 PCNSLs manifested irregu-lar shape,5 PCNSLs manifested round or ovoid shape,3 manifested butterfly shape.The average size of these lesions was 4.8cm.The PCNSLs manifested uniform or low T1 WI signal,uniform or slight high T2 WI signal,slight high or high signal on FLAIR,and slight high signal on DWI.11 cases manifested uniform signal and 2 cases manifested non-uniform signal.Different degrees of edema and mass effect were found combined with the lesions.The CT scan showed 6 cases were slighted high density,4 cases were equal density,3 cases were showed low density.Cystic chan-ges and calcifications were not found.In all cases,significant homogeneous enhancement was shown in 3 cases,moder-ate heterogeneous enhancement was shown in 1 case and mild enhancement was shown in 1 case.In multifocal dis-ease,significant homogeneous enhancement was shown in 14 cases,moderate heterogeneous enhancement was shown in 6 cases and mild enhancement was not shown.Conclusion The CT and MRI features of PCNSL of immunocompe-tent patients are always uniformity, whether T1 WIor T2 WI, while of immunodeficiency patients are complicated, all these features are helpful to make correct diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the effect of different hemoperfusion times on the recovery of serum cholinesterase (ChE) in patients with severe acute oral organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (AOPP).Methods:This was a retrospective case-control study. Patients with severe AOPP admitted to our hospital were identified between January 2010 and December 2019. The clinical information of patients with severe AOPP was collected between January 2010 and December 2019, the patient's ChE vitality levels were collected on admission, at 1, 3 and 5 days after admission, and the sex, age, oral poison volume, and related treatments were recorded as well. The relationship between ChE, different HP treatment times and patients without HP treatment was analyzed by generalized estimation equations and multiple comparisons afterward.Results:A total of 159 patients with severe AOPP were included in our study. Among them, 60 (37.74%) patients were male and 99 (62.26%) were female, with a median age of 33 years old (range 13-75 years old). The median oral dose of OPs was 75 mL (range 15-500 mL). Multivariate analysis results showed that in the unadjusted generalized estimation equation, compared with patients without HP treatment, the average ChE value of patients with single HP treatment was 745.6 U/L higher (95% CI: 467.09 - 1024.1; P<0.01), the average ChE value of patients with 2 times HP treatment was 565.81 U/L higher (95% CI: 384.25-747.36; P<0.01), and the average ChE value of patients with 3 times HP treatment was 43.86 U/L higher (95% CI: 420.71-1 067.01; P<0.01), the differences were all statistically significant. After adjusting the amount of oral OPs at admission, age and PSS score in the multiple generalized estimation equations, the results showed that whatever single HP treatment or multiple HP treatment, the recovery rate of ChE was significantly faster than those without HP treatment. And the multiple comparison results of multiple models showed that the difference between 3 times HP treatment and 1 to 2 times HP treatment was not statistically significant, and the average difference between 2 times HP treatment and single HP treatment was also not statistically significant. Conclusions:Hemoperfusion therapy can accelerate the recovery rate of ChE in AOPP patients; Whatever single HP treatment or multiple HP treatments, the recovery rate of ChE in AOPP patients has no significant difference.

The spatial structure of hemolymph node in the rat is studied by light, transmission and scanning electron microscopy after the fixation of arterial perfusion. The structure of hemolymph node is similar to that of the normal lymph node, and main characteristic is that a number of the red cells are seen in it. The erythrocytes were carried to the afferent lymphatic vessel and reach the medullary sinus, many erythrocytes travel through the rsubcapsula and cortical sinuses, and reach the lymphatic tissue of the local cortex with selectivity, and going through the paracortical zone and the sinus wall to the medulary sinus. Most of the red blood cells are phagocytosed by macrophages in the sinuses. The subcapsular and cortical sinuses of hemolymph nodes connect with medullary sinuses, and form a reticular lymphatic passage. Reticular cells in the sinuses constitute a spatial each other. There are macrophages, lymphocytes, plasmocytes and numerous red blood cells in the nets. Macrophages are anchored on the reticular cells by their pseudopodla, traping and phagocytosing the red cells and foreign matters. Sometimes a macrophage is found closely associated with lymphocytes.

In the study of cardiac activity, manual determination of local activation times is a time-consuming process that precludes the application of cardiac activity during a clinical procedure or an electrophysiologic experiment. Based on former bipolar algorithm and unipolar algorithm, this paper presents a novel method. Using unipolar electrograms and bipolar electrograms simultaneously, this method determines the activation times with good accuracy.
