Objective To study clinicopathologic features of ALK-positive large B-cell lymphoma.Methods The clinical data,histopathological characteristics,immunophenotype and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) result of a patient with ALK-positive large B-cell lymphoma were analyzed and discussed combined with related literatures.Results A 30-years-old male patients with the left neck lymphadenectasis was studied.Histological evaluation revealed the tumor grew in sheets in the nodal,with round nuclei,dispersed chromatin,a single prominent central nucleolus and moderate amounts of eosinophilic to amphophilic cytoplasm.The neoplastic cells exhibited immunoblastic/plasmablastic morphology.Immunohistochemistry measurement showed that the tumor cells were marked positively by CD138,ALK-1,CD45RO,CD4,Perforin,CD117 and Kappa proteins,while negatively by CD3,CD8,CD20,CD30,CD38,CD57,CD79a,Pax-5,EMA and AE1/AE3 proteins.FISH test demonstrated the presence of ALK gene translocation.The patient was given 4 cycles of CHOP chemotherapy after surgery.However,the conditions deteriorated after 4 months.Now the patient continued to receive treatment.Conclusion ALK-positive large B-cell lymphoma represents a distinct variant of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma,and the tumor has special histological features along with a distinct immunophenotype and ALK gene rearrangement.

The estimation of chronologic age based on the stages of third-molar development was evaluated by using the eight stages (A-H) method of Demirjian and the third-molar development was compared, in terms of sex and age, with results of previous studies. The samples consisted of 291 orthopantomograms from young Chinese subjects of known chronologic age and sex (including 139 males with a mean age of 14.67+/-3.62 y and 152 females with a mean age of 14.85+/-3.70 y). Statistical analysis was performed by employing the Mann-Whitney U-test and the t-test. Regression analysis was conducted to obtain regression formulas for calculating dental age from the chronologic age. Our results showed statistically significant differences (P<0.05) in third-molar development between males and females, at the calcification stages D, E and H. And a strong correlation was found between age and third-molar development in both males (r (2)=0.65) and females (r (2)=0.61). New equations (Age=8.76+1.32 Development stage) for estimating chronologic age were derived. It is concluded that third-molar genesis took place earlier in males than in females. The use of third molars as a developmental marker is appropriate in young adults of Central China. The formula obtained in the present study can be used as a guide for estimation of dental maturity and a standard for age estimation for young adults of Central China.

Objective To develop a rapid ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/ MS) for determination of 11 sedative-hypnotics in human plasma. Methods The plasma samples were extracted with dichloromethane:n-hexane:acetoacetate (5∶4∶1). The separation was performed on a Waters ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 column (2.1 mm×100 mm,1.8 μm) using the mobile phase composed of acetonitrile-0.1% ammonium solution at a flow rate of 0.2 mL?min-1 in gradient elution mode. The detection was performed on a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) via electrospray ionization (ESI) source in positive mode. Results Good linear relation was obtained over the investigated concentration range, with all correlation coefficients higher than 0.99. The limit of detection was 200 pg?mL-1 for dexzopiclone,and 10- 20 pg?mL-1 for other sedative-hypnotics. The intra- and inter-day RSD of 11 sedative-hypnotics were no more than 15.0%. The recoveries were in the range of 72.3%-108.0%, and the matrix effects were approximately 0.86- 1. 12. Conclusion The method is rapid, sensitive and reliable, and suitable for the simultaneous determination of 11 sedative-hypnotics in human plasma.

Objective To reconstruct the perfusion parameters of murine hindlimbs peripheral tissue by using fluorescence reflectance imaging technique. Methods BALB/c mice were injected with intravenous bolus injection of indocyanine green (ICG) (10μg) into the tail vein. Time-series fluorescence intensity images were obtained for 200 s immediately after the injection. After the serial imaging, silhouette images of the mice were taken under white light to obtain the region of interest (ROI) of the murine hindlimbs. Bi-exponential model was applied to analyze the dynamic fluorescence parameters and the peripheral tissue perfusion parameter images were reconstructed. Results The fitted perfusion curves obtained from bi-exponential model were in good agreement with the measured ones. The parametric images which reflected the vascular sufficiency of murine hindlimbs were reconstructed. Conclusions A novel method for parametric images of murine hindlimbs peripheral tissue blood perfusion is proposed in this paper, which is noninvasive with higher resolution and little damage to biological tissues.

Objective To analyze features of clinical manifestation, laboratory tests, electrophysiology and imagol?ogy of Heidenhain’s variant of Creutzfelt-Jakob disease (CJD). Methods Clinical data, laboratory and electrophysiologi?cal results as well as medical images were collected from 3 patients with Heidenhain variant of CJD. Results Three pa?tients presented with rapid visual impairment at onset and refractory pruritus. Whole gene sequencing indicated that one patient had point mutation at E200K whereas the other two did not the mutation. All the cases had positive 14-3-3 pro?tein in CSF. Patients had three phases sharp waves burst at posterior part of cerebral cortices with slow waves back?ground in EEG, no evoked P100 in visual evoked potential test,‘cortical ribbon sign’at bilateral occipital lobe in DWI sequence of head MRI and hypometabolism of glucose from occipital cortex spreading to extensive cerebral cortices in PET/CT. Conclusion Head MRI and EEG should be conducted in old patients with visual disturbance as the onset symptom, followed by rapid cognitive impairment, ataxia and extrapyramidal symptom to rule out Heidenhain variant of CJD. Refractory pruritus indicates a high likelihood of CJD.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Shen warming Pi strengthening method on expressions of serum T cell subsets (C045+%, C03+%, and C04 +/COB+) in diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-0) rats. Methods An IBS-0 rat model was established referring to AL-Chaer's modeling method combined with tail clamp and intragastric administration of sanna leaf. After modeling 30 SO rats were randomly divided into 6 groups according to random digit table, i.e., the model group, the high, middle, low dose Wenshen Jianpi Recipe (WJR) groups, and the Sishen Pill control group, 6 in each group. A normal control group consisting of 6 SO rats were also set up. Rats in high, middle, low dose WJ R groups were administered by gastrogavage with boil-free WJ R at the daily dose of 3. 100, 1. 550, 0. 775 g/kg, respectively. Rats in the Sis hen Pill control group were administered by gastrogavage with boil-free Sis hen Pill at the daily dose of 0. 736 g/kg. Equal volume of normal saline was given by gastrogavage to rats in the model group and the normal control group. All medication lasted for 2 successive weeks. Rats' general state, expressions of T cell subsets (CD45+%, CD3+%, and CD4+ /CDB+) changes were observed.

RESULTSCompared with the normal control group, expressions of CD45+% and CD3+% increased, but CD4+ /CDB+ decreased with statistical difference (P < 0. 05). Compared with the model group, expressions of CD45+% and CD3+% decreased, but CD4+ ICDB+ increased with statistical difference in high, middle, low dose WJR groups, and the Sis hen Pill control group (P <0. 05). Compared with the Sis hen Pill control group, there was statistical difference in all indices except CD45+ value in the low dose SWPSM group (P <0. 05). Compared with the low dose WJ R group, the expression of CD3+% decreased in high and middle dose WJR groups, and the Sis hen Pill control group; CD4+ /CD8+ increased in the Sishen Pill control group and the high dose SWPSM group (all P < 0. 05).

CONCLUSIONSWJR showed better treatment effect. The mechanism of Shen warming Pi strengthening method might be achieved by regulating expressions of CD45+% and CD3+%, and CD4+ /CD8+ ratios.

Objective:To determine the derivative chromosome 9 by the method of detecting the ASS gene,and to explore the relationship between the deletion of derivative chromosome 9 and the efficacy and prognosis of the chronic myeloid leukemia (CML)patients. Methods:The materials of 34 CML patients with positive BCR-ABL fusion gene whose ASS genes were detected were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with Extra-signal (ES)probe to detect the derivative chromosome 9.All patients were divided into two groups according to whether they carried the derivative chromosome 9.The blastic phase or the accelerated phase rates in two groups were compared by using Fisher exact probability. Results:All patients were detected by FISH (BCR-ABL ES probe),and all the BCR-ABL fusion signals were positive.6 of 34 patients were found the deletion of ASS gene, among them 1 case blonged to chronic phase,and 5 cases developed into blastic phase or accelerated phase. In the patients without ASS gene deletion,there were 22 cases in chronic phase,and 6 cases in plastic phase or accelerate phase,there was significant difference of blastic phase rate/accelated phase rate between them (P<0.05).A total of 26 patients were treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI).5 of 26 patients belonged to the ASS gene deletion group,1 of 5 patients treated with TKI got molecular remission,4 of 5 patients developed into blastic phase or accelerated phase.21 of 26 patients belonged to the group without ASS gene deletion,and among them,19 cases got molecular remission,2 cases developed into plastic phase or accelerated phase after treatment of TKI,there was significant difference between them (P < 0.05 ). 6 patients were treated with traditional chemotherapy (hydroxyurea,interferon);1 of 6 patients belonged to the ASS gene deletion group,finally developed into the blastic phase or accelerated phase;5 of 6 patients belonged to the group without ASS gene deletion,2 cases got the hematological remission,and 3 patients developed into blastic phase or accelerated phase after treatment,and there was no significant difference of blastic phase rate/ accelerated phase rate between them (P > 0.05 ). Conclusion:The CML patients with derivative chromosome 9 (ASS gene deletion)prone to get disease progression, and have a higher proportion in the blastic phase or accelerated phase patients.Derivative chromosome 9 is related to the bad treatment efficacy of TKI and the poor prognosis of CML.
