Objective To investigate peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells changes in the diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients before and after chemotherapy,and analyse the relationship between the results and treatment.Methods Collect the 47 patients venous blood of the effective treatment DLBCL by pathology.T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells were determined by flow cytometric.Analyse the results statistically significant difference before treatment,the second chemotherapy cycle and the fourth chenmotherapy cycle compared with 50 healthy control persons.Results The levels of CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ NK cells in DLBCL patients before chemotherapy [(70.04±8.87)％,(42.79±6.06)％,(1.68±0.59)％,(14.40±6.02)％]were lower than healthy controls [(63.89±6.67)％,(32.72±5.77)％,(0.85±0.25)％,(9.95±5.24)％](P ＜ 0.05),and the level of CD8+ cells is higher than the healthy controls [(27.21 ±6.54)％ vs.(39.92±7.11)％](P ＜ 0.05).The levels of CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ cells had significant difference between the second and the fourth chemotherapy cycle in DLBCL patients (P ＜ 0.05).The levels of CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+,NK cells had significant difference between the fourth chemotherapy cycle DLBCL patients and the DLBCL patients before chemotherapy (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The DLBCL patients exist immunosuppression before chemotherapy.Peripheral T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells can be used as good reflect of the cellular immune function in DLBCL patients.Clinical parameters can be used for the immune function monitoring and providing guidance for the treatment options.

Objective To explore the potential mechanism of abnormal behavior resulted from maternal separation in neo-natal period in rat. Methods Neonatal rats were equally and randomly divided into maternal separation group and control group. The rats in maternal separation group were separated from the dam for 3h per day on postnatal days (PND) 2 to 21, nothing was done to the rats in the control group. The brain tissues were taken out after being killed on PND 7, 14, and 21. The expressions of Caveolin-l, BDNF and GFAP in hippocampal formation were detected by immunohistochemistry. Semiquantitative assessment of immunohistochemical images was performed by Image-Pro Plus software. Results Compared with control groups, the expres-sion of Caveolin-l on PND 7 had no signiifcant change, while BDNF and GFAP were signiifcantly increased in maternal separa-tion group (P<0.05). On PND 14 and 21, the expressions of Caveolin-l, BDNF and GFAP were signiifcantly decreased in maternal separation group (P<0.05). Conclusions Decreased expressions of Caveolin-l, BDNF and GFAP caused by maternal separation in neonatal period may be associated with abnormal behaviors in adulthood in rat.

Objective To investigate the expression characteristics of T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma(MM),as well as the equilibrium relationship between the ratio of helper T cells 17(Thl7)and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+regulatory T cells(Treg cells),and analyze their clinical significance in the pathogenesis of MM.Methods The proportion of CD3+,CD3+CD4+,CD3+CD8+cells,Th17 cells,Treg cells in peripheral blood and the ratios of CD3+CD4+/CD3+CD8+、Th17/Treg were analyzed between the 30 patients with MM in newly diagnosed and 20 healthy volunteers(control group),then analysis the differences between MM patients and control group.In 30 cases of newly diagnosed MM patients(patient group)and 20 healthy volunteers(control group),total T cells in peripheral blood(CD3+),auxiliary T cells /induced T cells(CD3+CD4+),the inhibitory T cell /cytotoxic T cells(CD3+CD8+),the ratio of(CD3+CD4)/(CD3+CD8+),the percentages of Th17 cells and Treg cell and the ratio of Thl7 and Treg were detected,and the differences between MM patients and control group were compared.Results The ratio of inhibition/cytotoxic T cells(CD3+CD8+)in the patient group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).(CD3+CD4+)/(CD3+CD8+)ratio in the patient group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05);in the patient group,the ratio of Th17 cells in peripheral blood of patients was(5.9 ± 1.9)%,which was increased compared with the control group(4.0 ± 0.9)%(P<0.05);the ratio of Treg cells in the patient group was(1.2 ± 0.3)%,which was decreased com-pared with the control group(2.1 ± 0.4%)(P< 0.05);and the ratio of Th17/Treg cells was significantly higher in the patient group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Peripheral blood T cell subsets disorder exists in pa-tients with MM,Thl7/Treg cell imbalance caused by the increase of Thl7 cell ratio and the decrease of the ratio of Treg cells,and the imbalance of immune system may play a role in the occurrence and development of MM,and has some guiding value for the prognosis.

The smoking cessation rate of 1 314 people at high risk of lung cancer in the area of lung cancer screening and early diagnosis and early treatment in Sichuan Province increased from 22.37% at baseline to 41.78% after screening (χ2=227.97, P<0.001), and the smoking amount of persistent smokers decreased from 20 cigarettes per day to 15 cigarettes per day ( t=11.76, P<0.001). Those with positive results in lung cancer screening were more likely to quit smoking or continue to quit smoking. Male, younger age or lower education level would increase the risk of continuous smoking or relapse ( P<0.05).

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) in children.Methods:Twenty-five children with ACC diagnosed in the Department of Pathology, Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China from March 2014 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The related literature was reviewed.Results:A total of 25 children with ACC were collected, including 11 males and 14 females, with a male to female ratio of 1.0∶1.3. The patient ages ranged from 8 months to 14 years (median, 4 years). Eighteen cases with clinical data had functional tumors (18/22, 81.8%) presenting with virilization or precocious puberty (15/18), symptoms related to hypercortisolism (8/18) or endocrine symptoms mixed with both (5/18), while 3 cases (3/22, 13.6%) had unknown clinical data. The clinical manifestations of four patients with nonfunctional tumors were an abdominal mass and/or abdominal pain, walking instability and others. Grossly, the average maximum diameter of the tumor was 9.4 cm. Most of the tumors were nodular and partially encapsuled. The cut surfaces were gray or gray brown, soft with hemorrhage. Histologically, the tumor cells were diffusely distributed, separated by a vascular-rich network. The tumor cells were large, with distinct nucleoli, abundant eosinophilic or clear cytoplasm, and round or oval nuclei. The mitotic index was high, and atypical mitoses were common. Necrosis, calcification, capsule invasion or/and venous invasion were present. In some cases, the tumor invaded the surrounding soft tissues or kidneys. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were diffusely positive for syn and SF1 and focally positive for α-inhibin, Melan A and Calretinin, but negative for CgA. Ki-67 proliferation index ranged from 2%-90%. TP53 gene status was examined in 7 cases, in which mutations were detected in 4 cases. Follow-up data was obtained in 21 patients, among whom 18 received chemotherapy and 3 received radiotherapy. Distant metastasis occurred in 13 patients. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 11.2 months and median overall survival (OS) was 54.7 months. Patients aged less than 5 years had a better prognosis for OS ( P<0.05) than the older ones (≥5 years), but a similar PFS ( P>0.05). Male patients and Ki-67 proliferation index <15% had a better prognosis tendency for OS, but there was no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05). Conclusions:ACC in children is a rare, often functional tumor associated with Li-Fraumeni genetic syndrome and has a poor prognosis. Diagnosis and differential diagnosis require a combination of morphological, phenotypic and clinical analysis.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the effect of tumor length on the prognosis in stage Ⅱ/Ⅲ esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients treated with definitive radiotherapy and to evaluate the role of tumor length in clinical stage for non-operative ESCC patients.Methods The data of 2 086 ESCC patients who were treated with definitive radiotherapy from 2002 to 2016 in 10 hospitals (3JECROG) were analyzed.The effect of tumor length on overall survival (OS) was analyzed and stratified analysis of tumor length was done in different stages of ESCC.Results The median OS and median progression-free survival (PFS) time of the whole group were 25.6 months and 18.2 months respectively.The Cox multivariate analysis showed that treatment moda,aga,alinical stage and tumor length were independent prognostic factors.The median,1-,3-,and 5-year OS were 28.9 months,77.3％,45.0％,and 36.3％ versus 21.9 months,69.9％,37.9％,and 28.1％ for patients with ≤ 5 cm and patients ＞ 5 cm respectively (P＜0.05).For stage Ⅱ patienta,abe median OS were 42.1 and 38.9 months respectively in ≤ 5 cm group and＞5 cm group (P=0.303).And for stage Ⅲ patienta,abe median OS were 23.9 and 19.3 months respectively in ≤5 cm group and＞5 cm group (P＜0.001).The median OS with N1was 24.1 and 18.4 montha,aespectively in ≤5 cm group and＞5 cm group (P＜0.001).Conclusions The tumor length was an independent prognostic factor for stage Ⅱ/Ⅲ patients treated definitive radiotherapy.The tumor length may be helpful in clinical staging of ESCa,aspecially for stage Ⅲ and N1.
