Malignant lymphoma is a common malignancy. From the perspective of the traditional Chinese medi-cine (TCM), the etiology and pathogenesis of malignant lymphoma are related to dampness, phlegm, toxicity, stasis and deficiency. Basic TCM principles for lymphoma syndrome differentiation and treatment are to strengthen the body resistance and eliminate pathogenic factors. Eliminating dampness, dissolving phlegm, detoxification, dissolv-ing stasis and strengthening body resistance are the principal TCM therapeutic methods for lymphoma treatment. Contemporary TCM physicians have developed Yi-Hua decoction, Zi-Niu powder, Ke-Liu capsule, Wu's Xiao-Liu powder and other herbal formulas, and 37 patents based on Chinese herbs and or herbal components. The effective mechanisms of TCM treatment for lymphoma are involved in inhibiting proliferation, inducing apoptosis, inhibiting angiogenesis, and regulating immune function. There is a great need to study anti-cancer herbs for lymphoma treat-ment.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the value of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for the detection of fetal chromosome copy number variations (CNVs).
METHODS:
Clinical data of 18 661 pregnant women who underwent NIPT were collected. For fetuses suspected for carrying CNVs, amniotic fluid samples were collected for chromosomal karyotyping and/or chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA).
RESULTS:
Among all samples, NIPT suggested that 58 fetuses carried trisomy 21, 18 carried trisomy 18, 19 carried trisomy 13, 1 carried trisomies 18 and 21. Eighty eight women accepted invasive prenatal diagnosis. The results of CMA in 59 cases were consistent with those of NIPT, which yielded a consistency rate of 67.05%. In addition, 37 cases of fetal CNVs were detected by NIPT, of which 19 (15 microdeletions and 4 microduplications) have accepted invasive prenatal diagnosis. In 14 cases, the results were consistency with those of NIPT, with a consistent rate of 73.68%.
CONCLUSION
NIPT features high sensitivity and accuracy. Invasive prenatal diagnosis should be considered for CNVs detected by NIPT, and by tracing its parental origin, it can provide guidance for clinical practice.

Objective:
To explore the correlation and lag effects of environmental factors on pediatric respiratory disease visits at hospital, so as to provide scientific basis for disease prediction and optimizing clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Methods:
Data from 503 889 pediatric respiratory disease outpatient and emergency visits a central hospital in Minhang District of Shanghai between 2017 and 2019, along with concurrent meteorological data were collected. A distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM) was constructed to explore the specific relationship between pediatric respiratory disease consultations and various environmental factors and to quantify the cumulative lag effects of environmental factors on respiratory disease consultations.
Results:
Among the environmental factors, temperature, fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ), inhalable particulate matter (PM 10 ), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), and sulfur dioxide (SO 2) were associated with pediatric respiratory disease visits. After adjusting for temperature, PM 2.5 and PM 10 concentrations did not show significant immediate or lag effects. The relative risk (RR) of pediatric respiratory disease visits increased with rising NO 2 concentrations. When NO 2 concentration ≥55 μg/m 3, significant immediate and lagged effects (lag 3, 5, and 7 days) were observed. The RR values were 1.05, 1.13, 1.17, and 1.21( P <0.05). The RR values showed an inverted “U” shaped relationship with SO 2 concentrations. When SO 2 concentration ≥5 μg/m 3, significant lagged effects (lag 3, 5, and 7 days) were observed. The RR values were 1.03 , 1.03, and 1.04 ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
High concentrations of NO 2 and SO 2 increase the risk of pediatric respiratory disease visits, with observable lag effects.
