Objective: To explore the characteristics of clinical pathology, diagnosis, and prognosis of primary renal lymphoma (PRL).Methods: The clinical features, pathological features, immune phenotypes, treatment, and prognosis of 22 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The PRL patients' ages ranged from 2 to 72 years (mean, 54.3 years), of which 13 patients were older than 50 years (59.1%). All of the 22 patients were diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), including 20 cases of B-cell lymphoma and 2 cases of T-cell lymphoma. Seven patients were still alive and survived for 6-50 months, but the other 15 were dead and survived for only 5-35 months. Conclusion: PRL is uncommon. Clinical manifestations and imaging performance specificity are not obvious. and easily misdiagnosed. Histopathology is still the golden standard for the final diagnosis of this entity. The kidney is most easily involved followed by the bladder. B-cell NHL is the common subtype, and the most common type is the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Up to now,no standard regime could be performed for PRL patients. At present, comprehensive therapy, including surgery and chemotherapy, is recommended. For patients with locally advanced or highly aggressive status, therapeutic effect with chemotherapy alone is usually satisfied.

Objective:To study the clinicopathologic and genetic features of Waldeyer′s ring peripheral T-cell lymphoma with follicular helper T cell immunophenotypes (wPTCL-TFH), with comparison to the nodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma with TFH immunophenotypes (nPTCL-TFH) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), as to know this rare tumor better.Methods:The clinical data, histopathology features, EBV positivity, T cell clonality and IDH2 R172 gene mutation in 8 cases of wPTCL-TFH were collected at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from December 2015 to April 2019, and analyzed by immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, TCR gene rearrangement (BIOMED-2) and Sanger sequencing.Follow-up data were obtained by telephone. Results:There were 6 males and 2 females with a median age of 62.5 years (age ranging from 30 to 75 years). All patients had neither fever nor skin manifestations, but were all found mucosa thickened or mass of waldeyer′s ring with multiple lymph nodes enlarged by PET-CT/CT scans. Five of the 7 patients were at advanced stages (Ⅲ/Ⅳ stage). Microscopically, the mucosa was infiltrated diffusely and characteristically by numerous small-medium sized lymphocytes, lacking polymorphous inflammatory background and extra-follicular expansion of follicular dendritic cell networks (FDC networks). The clear T cells presented in 5 cases. Ulcers on mucosal surfaces (6 cases) and local-extensive loss of intramucosal glands (7 cases) were commonly noted. Granulomas composed of epithelioid histiocytes were observed in 2 cases. Immunohistochemically, all the tumor cells expressed CD4 and at least 2 types of follicular helper of T cell (TFH) markers: PD-1 (8/8), bcl-6 (8/8), CXCL13 (7/8) and CD10 (1/8). Most of the cases (6 cases) expressed CD30. EBV positive appeared in 4 cases. All 8 cases were T cell monoclonal. IDH2 R172 were wild-type in 6 cases. One patient died at the follow-up time on 18 months; the other 7 survived (the follow-up time varied from 3 to 10 months). Conclusions:wPTCL-TFH is rare, and its clinicopathological features are similar to nPTCL-TFH which may be the manifestation of the same disease at different stage, and partly overlapped with AITL. The differential diagnosis from PTCL-NOS is necessary and comprehensive analyses of clinical, morphological, immunohistochemical and genetic features can help make a correct diagnosis.

Freezing of gait is a common gait disorder in Parkinson disease (PD), which is highly disabling, situational and therapeutically challenging. At present, there is no clear and effective intervention method. In recent ten years, exercise training based on cognitive-motor dual tasks has been more and more used in the intervention treatment of freezing of gait of PD patients, and achieved certain clinical results. The muscle-brain crosstalk effect of exercise training promoting muscle secretory factors is crucial for freezing of gait rehabilitation of PD. There are differences in the effects of cognitive-motor dual tasks of different types and loads on gait, but the specific training types and loads and mechanism of action still need to be further elucidated. This paper focuses on the research progress of muscle-brain crosstalk mechanism in cognitive-motor interference effect of freezing of gait in PD patients, aiming to providing a new theoretical perspective for clinical cognitive-motor training intervention of freezing of gait in PD patients.

Objective:To study the clinicopathological features and prognosis of nodal lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenstrom′s macroglobulinemia (n-LPL/WM).Methods:A total of 19 cases of n-LPL/WM were collected from May 2009 to January 2020 at First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. The clinicopathologic features, immunophenotype, Ig gene rearrangement (BIOMED-2), MYD88 L265P mutation status (by Sanger sequencing) and follow-up data (by telephone) were analyzed.Results:There were 15 males and 4 females with a median age of 61 years (range 43 to 82 years). There were 14 WM and five LPL. The most common symptoms were weakness, fatigue (9/19) and B symptoms (11/19). Majority of the patients (16/18) presented with systemic multiple lymphadenopathies. Eighteen patients presented at advanced stages (Ⅲ/Ⅳ stage). Serum M protein status was IgM (15 cases), IgG (1 case), IgA (1 case) and no-secretory type (2 cases). Seventeen patients had bone marrow involvement. Morphologically, all 19 cases were divided into two groups: typical group (9 cases) or atypical group (10 cases). In the typical group, the structures of the lymph nodes were preserved; the neoplastic cells were predominantly plasmacytoid lymphocytes or mixed small lymphocytes, plasmacytoid lymphocytes and plasma cells, without proliferation of FDC network and follicular implantation. In the atypical group, the tumor showed effaced nodal architecture (5 cases), mainly proliferation of small lymphocytes (6 cases), FDC proliferation and/or follicular implantation (6 cases), marginal zone B cell differentiation (4 cases) and diffuse amyloidosis (1 case). Hemosiderin deposition (19 cases), infiltration of fatty tissue (19 cases) and interstitial sclerosis (9 cases) were commonly seen in both groups. Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic B cells expressed CD20 and CD79α, and the neoplastic plasma cells were positive for CD38, CD138 and MUM-1; eight cases showed light chain restriction; of the seven detected cases, five expressed IgM and the other two expressed IgG and IgA respectively; four cases expressed CD23 weakly, Ki-67 index was 10%-30%. MYD88 L265P mutation was seen in 18/18 cases. There was no significant difference in clinicopathologic features and prognosis between the two groups ( P>0.05). The median follow-up time was 61 months, 11 patients were alive, while eight died; the 5-year survival rate was 21.1%. Conclusions:n-LPL/WM is rare, but patients usually present in advanced stages. It is easily confused with other small B-cell lymphomas with plasma cell differentiation, especially basing on morphologic features alone; thus the accurate diagnosis of n-LPL/WM requires a combination of clinical features, serum M protein, immunohistochemistry, bone marrow morphology,flow cytometry and MYD88 L265P mutation status etc. The prognosis of n-LPL/WM may be not very good, and further studies with more cases are needed.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of hypersensitivity quantitative fecal immunochemical test (hs-qFIT) in colorectal cancer (CRC) and advanced adenoma.Methods:From July to December 2020, consecutive patients aged 50 to 75 years who underwent colonoscopy in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, and had the Asia-Pacific colorectal screening score of medium or high risk were enrolled. All patients were requested to complete two hs-qFIT before colonoscopy. The diagnostic efficacy of hs-qFIT for CRC and advanced adenoma were assessed. Receiver operating characteristic curve of hs-qFIT in CRC diagnosis was drawn and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated.Results:A total of 811 patients including 20 (2.5%) cases of CRC, 47 (5.8%) cases of advanced adenoma, 206 (25.4%) cases of non-advanced adenoma, 219 (27.0%) cases of non-adenomatous polyp, 76 (9.4%) cases of other colorectal lesions and 243 (30.0%) cases of non-colorectal lesions were involved. When the fecal hemoglobin cut-off values were 10, 30, 50, 75 and 100 ng/mL, the positive rates of hs-qFIT detection were 17.9% (145/811), 10.9% (88/811), 8.3% (67/811), 7.4% (60/811) and 5.8% (47/811), respectively. When the cut-off value of fecal hemoglobin decreased from 100 ng/mL to 10 ng/mL, the sensitivity of hs-qFIT for CRC diagnosis increased from 90.0% to 100.0%, and the specificity decreased from 96.3% to 84.2%; and the sensitivity of hs-qFIT for the diagnosis of advanced adenoma increased from 19.1% to 66.0%, and the specificity decreased from 95.0% to 85.1%. The AUC of hs-qFIT for the diagnosis of CRC and advanced adenoma were 0.981 (95% confidence interval ( CI) 0.970 to 0.992) and 0.846 (95% CI 0.807 to 0.886), respectively. When the optimal cut-off values were taken, the sensitivity and specificity were 100.0% and 91.2% for the diagnosis of CRC, and 66.0% and 85.3% for the diagnosis of advanced adenoma, respectively. Conclusion:Hs-qFIT can help the early screening of CRC and advanced adenoma.
