0.05).(4) The subtypes of 4 cases of B-cell lymphoma diagnosed by cytology originally were determined by analyzing immunophenotype of their bone marrow involvement.Conclusions:Flow cytometry is an effective method for detecting bone marrow involvement in B-cell lymphoma and is superior to cytomorphology;Bone marrow involvement detected by FCM can be useful for helping diagnosis.The relevance of bone marrow involvement in different types of untreated B-cell lymphoma patients with clinical presentations and response to treatment should be further studied in more patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical,laboratory,and neuroimaging characteristics of neuroacanthocytosis.Methods Eight patients with neuroacanthocytosis were retrospectively analysed.Acanthocytes were tested by peripheral blood smear,wet preparation with saline dilution,and scanning electron microscope.Results Two male and 6 female patients were included.The age at onset was between 10 and 35 years,with a mean age at onset of 22 years.Four patients firstly presented with oral-facial-lingual dystonia,3 patients firstly presented with involuntary movements of the distal limbs and experienced the oral facial dystonia during the course of disease,and 1 patient primary presented with a parkinsonian syndrome.Four patients had generalized tonic-clonic seizures were reported in 4 patients,and 4 patients had cognitive impairment.Hypotonia and hyporeflexia were reported in 6 patients.The peripheral blood smear revealed the presence of acanthocytes in 7 patients,in addition,wet preparation with saline dilution and scanning electron microscope revealed the presence of acanthocytes in the remaining one.All patients showed slightly elevated serum creatine kinase.Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed variable atrophy of the bilateral caudate nuclei and putamen,with or without a rim of increased T2-intensity in 6 patients,but the films of 2 patients were read as normal.Electromyography and nerve conduction velocity were examined in 4 patients.The results indicated axonal damage in 2 patients,and were normal in the other 2 patients.Acanthocytosis was confirmed by peripheral blood smear in 7 cases,by wet preparation with saline dilution in 8 cases and by scanning electron microscope in 2 cases.Conclusions Neuroacanthocytosis is a progress neurodegenerative disorder mainly affected the basal ganglia. The clinical characteristics include oral facial dystonia,limbs chorea,cognitive impairment,and seizures. Brain MRI showed variable atrophy of the bilateral caudate nuclei and putamen.The peripheral blood smear,wet preparation with saline dilution,and scanning electron microscope methods of peripheral blood examination are critical in the diagnosis of neuroacanthocytosis.

Objective:To investigate the chemical constituents in the rattan of Rubia argyi L.. Methods:The air-dried rattan of Rubia argyi L. was powdered and extracted three times by 75% ethanol with refluxing. After removing the solvent under the reduced pressure,the crude extract was dissolved in water,and then filtrated and extracted by petroleum ether and ethyl acetate to obtain crude extract after removing petroleum ether and ethyl acetate. The compounds were isolated and purified by silica gel column chromatogra-phy,reversed-phase silica gel column chromatography and Sephadex LH-20 gel column chromatography,and then identified based on physicochemical properties and spectral analysis(1 H-NMR and 13C-NMR). Results:Totally 13 compounds were isolated from the rat-tan of Rubia argyi L.,and characterized as secoisolariciresinol(1),xanthopurpurin(2),daucosterol(3),dehydroabietic acid(4), 2-hydroxy-1-methoxy-anthraquinone(5),β-sitosterol(6),lirioresinol A(7),2-hydroxy-7-methyl-9,10-anthraquinone(8),strych-novoline (9), ciwujiatone (10), 3,4-divanillyltetrahydrofuran (11), 2-(4-hydroxypheny) -6-(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3,3,0]octane (12), and (6S,9R)-vomifoliol (13).Conclusion: The compounds 1-13 are isolated from the rattan of Rubia argyi L. for the first time and the compounds 1,2,4,5 and 7-13 are first isolated from Rubia L..

Objective to investigate the clinical efficacy of decompression and pedicle screw fixation through posterior approach for complete thoracic spine fracture dislocation.Methods The clinical data of six patients with complete thoracic spine fracture and dislocation treated from September 2002 to June 2016 were analyzed retrospectively by case series study.There were five males and one female,aged 21-67 years old (mean,47.2 years).The injury segments were T3～4 dislocation in one case,T5～6 dislocation in two cases,T6 ～7 dislocation in two cases and T8 ～9 dislocation in one case.There was one case of ASIA grade E and five cases of Grade A,and all of six cases were associated with multiple rib fractures and hemopneumothorax.The companied status was one case of sternal fracture,one case of atlantoaxial complex fractures and three cases of pulmonary contusion.The posterior median incision decompression and pedicle screw system fixation were performed,and the intervertebral bone grafting was conducted after restoration.The surgery time,bleeding volume during surgery,fracture restoration,bone grafting fusion,failure of internal fixation and other complications were recorded.The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) classification were used to assess the pain and neurological function improvement between the preoperative visit and final follow-up visit.Results The surgery time was 150-240 minutes (mean,205 minutes).The bleeding volume during the surgery was 700-2 100 ml (mean,1167 ml).One case was died of pulmonary infection at one week after surgery,the others were followed up for 3-14 months (mean,7.4 months).After operation,five patients were satisfied with the reduction,and the lateral displacement was partially restored in one cases.Five cases of intervertebral bone grafting all had bone fusion.There was no fixation failure.The VAS was (7.4 ± 0.6) points before surgery,(4.5 ± 1.6) points at one week after surgery and (1.8 ± 0.3) points at final visit of follow-up,which had significant difference from the preoperative status (P ＜ 0.05).One case of ASIA grade E had no postoperative aggravation and four cases of grade A had no improvement.Conclusion Posterior decompression and pedicle screw fixation system is optimal choice of treatment for complete thoracic fractures and dislocations for it can attain reduction of fracture and dislocation as well as bone fusion,provide stability for spine and relieve pain.
