Objective To evaluate the utility of flow cytometry (FCM) in diagnosis and subclassification of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Methods The samples of lymph nodes biopsy from 59 cases clinically suspected of NHL were detected by flow cytometry; and clonal lymphocytes and their immunophenotypes were identified analyzed. The concordance between the results of flow cytometry and histopathology was analyzed. Results Among the 59 cases, flow cytometry was able to identify aberrant clonal lymphocytes in 24 of 28 NHL cases identified by histopathology, the neoplastic lymphocytes ranged from 4.28 % to 89.10 %; 23 cases were diagnosed as B-NHL and 1 case was diagnosed as T-NHL. Compared with histopathology, the accuracy of FCM was 85.71% in diagnosis of NHL. The specificity and sensitivity of FCM was 100 % and 92% in diagnosis of B-NHL. The accuracy of flow cytometry immunophenotyping in classification of 24 cases of NHL was consistent with that of histopathology. Conclusion Flow cytometry could be an ancillary technique in diagnosis of NHL by identifying aberrant clonal lymphocytes, and enable identification of B-NHL subtype.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the similarity of dissolution curves between generic preparations and reference prepara-tions of Bisacodyl enteric-coated tablets in various dissolution mediums,and to provide reference for improving production technolo-gy and internal quality of generic preparations. METHODS:Paddle method was adopted with rotation speed of 75 r/min. The disso-lution test was performed using 1000 mL pH 6.0 phosphate buffer solution,pH 6.8 phosphate buffer solution,water containing 2% sodium lauryl sulfate. HPLC method was used to determine average accumulative dissolution of main components from 3 kinds of generic preparations and reference preparations at different time points to draw out dissolution curves. Similarity factor(f2)meth-od was used to the similarity of dissolution curves. RESULTS:Dissolution curves of reference preparations were basically the same in 3 kinds of dissolution mediums. But the dissolution curve f2 of one generic preparation among 3 manufactures to dissolution curve of reference preparation were ≥50,namely the similarity. CONCLUSIONS:The quality of generic Bisacodyl enteric-coat-ed tablets produced by different manufacturers is obviously different;the generic preparations needs to be further improved in the production technology and internal quality. For domestic generic preparation,it is necessary to strengthen the real-time monitoring of its dissolution curve,to ensure the drug quality.

ObjectiveTo analysis the subsets of the lymphocyte and dendritic cells (DC) in peripheral blood in patients with neurosyphilis and investigate the relationship between these cells and onset of neurosyphilis.MethodsThe subsets of CD4+T cells as well as DCs and the counts of CD4+T and CD8+T were analyzed by flow cytometry with immunofluorescent staining in 8 patients with neurosyphilis and 10 healthy controls.ResultsIn peripheral blood of neurosyphilis patients the proportion of CD4+T cell was significantly higher than that in the normal controls ( P<0.01); the proportion of CD8+T cell was significantly lower than that in the normal controls ( P<0.05). The proportion of Th1, Th2 and the ratio of Th1/Th2 in neurosyphilis patients was (14.12±5.12)%, (1.52±0.88)% and (12.05±5.62), respectively. In normal controls, it was (26.10±4.98)%, (0.99±0.35)% and (31.62±16.62) respectively. The expression of Th1 and the ratio of Th1/Th2 in neurosyphilis patients was significantly lower than the normal controls (P<0.05). The proportion of DC1 and DC2 in neurosyphilis patients was not significantly different from that in normal controls ( P>0.05). There was a significant correlation between DC1 and Th1, DC2 and Th2 in the neurosyphilis patients ( P<0.051), but no correlation between the proportion of DCs and the ratio of Th1/Th2 ( P>0.05).ConclusionThe cellular immune function of neurosyphilis patients may be inhibited, and there is no relationship between the proportion of DCs subset and unbalance of Th1/Th2.

Objective: To explore the mediating effect of self-efficacy for exercise on social support and kinesiophobia in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), so as to provide insights into alleviating fear for exercise and formulating exercise intervention programs. Methods: RA patients hospitalized in a tertiary hospital in Harbin City from June to December 2023 were selected, and the levels of kinesiophobia, self-efficacy for exercise and social support were investigated using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (Chinese version), the Self-Efficacy for Exercise and the Social Support Rating Scale, respectively. The mediating effect of self-efficacy for exercise on social support and kinesiophobia was examined using a structural equation model. Results: A total of 216 people were investigated, including 45 males (20.83%) and 171 females (79.17%), with the median age of 54.00 (interquartile range, 13.75) years. There were 159 of patients living in the urban areas, accounting for 73.61%. There were 102 of patients with a disease course of 1 to 5 years, accounting for 47.22%. The median scores of kinesiophobia, self-efficacy for exercise and social support were 31.00 (interquartile range, 5.00), 5.00 (interquartile range, 2.00) and 39.50 (interquartile range, 17.00), respectively. Social support had a direct negative effect on kinesiophobia (effect value=-0.358, P<0.05) and a indirect negative effect on kinesiophobia through self-efficacy for exercise (effect value=-0.887, P<0.05), and the mediating effect contributed 93.86% to the total effect. Conclusion Social support can directly or indirectly influence kinesiophobia through self-efficacy for exercise among patients with RA.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and methods of diagnosis and treatment of granular lymphocytic leukemia (LGLL).Methods Clinical data of 3 patients with LGLL were retrospectively analyzed and relevant literature was reviewed.Results 3 patients were all onset with lymphocytosis,whose conditions progressed slowly.The diagnosis of 2 patients was T-LGLL with immunological characteristics of CD3+ CD4 CD8+ CD56-CD57+.The other patient' s diagnosis was NK-LGLL,whose immunological characteristic was CD3-CD4-CD8-CD56+ CD57-.Two of them didn' t need any treatment.One of them was treated with cyclosporine because of agranulocytosis and recurrent infection.Conclusions LGLL is a group of heterogeneous diseases,which clinical characteristic and prognosis are different.Flow cytometric immunopheotype,TCR Vβ analysis and TCR gene rearrangement are helpful to diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the role of mitochondrial respiratory chain in the hyperpermeability of human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs) induced by high glucose peritoneal glucose PDS was also added. Transmesothelial electrical resistance (TER) measurement was examined for detection of permeability damage in HPMCs. Immunostaining and Western blotting analysis were used to detect claudin-1 expression. Mitochondrial superoxide (MitoSOX) Red staining and respiratory chain complexes activities were determined for detection of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and mitochondrial complexes activities. Results TER was decreased in a time- and concentration-dependent manner after culture with high glucose PDS for was also down-regulated significantly by high glucose PDS (P＜0.01). Complex Ⅲ activity was inhibited (10.8% of control, P＜0.01) accompanied with increased mitochondrial ROS generation.These changes were partially prevented by glutathione. Conclusion Mitochondrial respiratory complex Ⅲ pathway has crucial importance in maintaining TER of HPMCs, which may reveal a valuable target for novel therapies to fight hyperpermeability of peritoneum during the prolonged PD treatment.

Objective To assess the change of left ventricular wall motion at ventricular pacing(VP)by using global circumferential strain (GCS) and segmental circumferential strain of speckle tracking imaging(STI). Methods Seven adult pigs were sedated,followed by median sternotomy and opening of the pericardium. Temporary pacing leads were placed on the right ventricular (RV) epicardium and LV epicardium for RV or LV pacing. A LV short axis view at the mid-level LV was acquired at sinus and VP rhythm. Analysis of circumferential strain by STI was performed offline. The onset of QRS wave was used to characterize the beginning of the cardiac cycle, and the ratio of beginning systolic time, end systolic time and total systolic time to cardiac cycle dyssynchrony was analyzed at sinus and VP rhythm. Results Compared with sinus rhythm,in VP rhythm all of the ratio of the beginning systolic time,end systolic time and total systolic time to cardiac cycle were increased (all P ＜0.05), and the construction of six segments were dyssynchrony,even segmental paradoxical movement. At VP ≥130 beats/min,both LV global and LV segments sometimes showed irregular motion while the EKG remained normal, which included: ( 1 ) multiple construction and diastole in one heart cycle; (2) A large variability of construction amplitude in several consecutive cardiac cycles. Conclusions VP can lead to several kinds of disturbance of left ventricular wall motion, including delay and lengthening of LV systole, dyssynchrony, and irregularity of systole and diastole.
