BACKGROUND: Most studies believed that lesion sites are decisive to the attack and types of aphasia, which is also in disputation.OBJECTIVE: To classify and evaluate aphasia with CT and MRI examinations, so as to reveal the association between aphasia types and lesion sites.DESIGN: A cross-sectional study.SETTING: Department of Neurology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital affiliated to Capital University of Medical Sciences.PARTICIPANTS: The lesion sites were selected from 1 198 patients with cerebral infarction, who were hospitalized in the stroke unit of the Department of Neurology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital affiliated to Capital University of Medical Sciences between February 2002 and February 2005, the diagnosis accorded with the diagnostic standard of cerebral infarctionset by National Meeting for Cerebrovascular Disease, and the patients with cerebral infarction were caused by lesions of left cerebral hemisphere ry school and above, the intellect was normal before attack, and there was score of Western battery aphasia was > 93.8. Totally 221 males and 104 females were enrolled, and the average age was (68.72±4.56) years.and received MRI examination within 1 week after admission. The data collection and treatment were finished with the Siemens Trio 2003T magaphasia of the patients was classified and evaluated with the Western battery aphasia by professional language therapist within 2 weeks after adtic aphasia examination severity grading standard by the same language therapist on the same day of Western battery aphasia. There were 6 grades, grade 0 was taken as meaningless language or auditory understanding ability, and grade 5 as extremely few differentiable language disorders, the patients could feel some difficulties subjectively, but the hearer was uncertain to obviously detect.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Association between aphasia types and lesion sites; Grading of aphasia severity. Aphasia not caused by the involvement of language centers: Of the 1 198 patients with cerebral infarction, the Broca area in 5 cases and Wernicke area in 4 cases were involved, and did not cause aphasia syndrome in the Western battery aphasia showed that 83 cases had Broca aphasia, 48 cases Wernicke aphasia, 58 cases complete aphasia, 12 cases conduction aphasia, 36 cases transcortical motor aphasia, 17 cases transcortical sensory aphasia, 19 cases transcortical mixed aphasia and 52 cases nominal aphasia. The lesions located at typical language center in 240 cases and at nonaphasia examination severity grading standard: It was grade 0 in 84 cases, grade 1 in 79 cases, grade 2 in 77 cases, grade 3 in 63 cases and grade 4 in 22 cases, and the typical language centers were involved in most of the patients of grade 0 and grade 1.CONCLUSION: The association between types and lesion sites of most aphasia are in accordance with the typical aphasia mode, but it was not completely accordant in a few aphasias, the lesion of non-language centers can also cause aphasia, and the aphasia is greatly severe in the patients with the lesion site of language centers.

Recent years,chimeric antigen receptor T-cell(CAR-T)therapy has made great strides in enabling better treatment of malig-nant tumors,especially hematological tumors,as well as increasing the research prospects of potential solid tumor therapies.Conse-quently,CAR-T therapy is expected to become the selected treatment for patients with relapsed and refractory tumors.Immune check-point inhibitors also have certain curative effects in the treatment of cancers,such as liver cancer,refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma,and other malignant tumors,which brings promise to patients with advanced cancer.However,both treatments have different degrees of limitations.Recent clinical trials suggest that combined immune checkpoint inhibitors impair the immunosuppressive effects of the tu-mor microenvironment,increase the efficacy of CAR-T therapy,and prolong the survival.This article will review the research progress on the combination of CAR-T immunotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors in malignancies theray.

Objective:
To investigate the efficacy and safety of CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) lymphocytes for the treatment of B cell lymphoma.
Methods:
A total of 22 patients with B-cell lymphoma from February 1, 2017 to July 1, 2018 were reviewed to evaluate the efficacy and adverse reactions of CD19 CAR-T.
Results:
Of 22 patients with B-cell lymphoma received CD19 CAR-T cells, the median dose of CAR-T cells was 7.2 (2.0-12.0) ×106/kg. Nine of 12 cases of relapse refractory patients were overall response. Complete remission (CR) occurred in 2 of 12 patients, partial remission (PR) in 7 of 12 patients. The overall response in minor residual disease positive (MRD) group was 8 of 10 patients. CD19 CAR-T cells proliferated in vivo and were detectable in the blood of patients. The peak timepoints of CAR-T cells proliferated in the relapsed refractory and MRD positive groups were 12 (5-19) and 4.5 (1-12) days after treatment respectively, and among peripheral blood cells, CAR-T cells accounted for 10.10% (3.55%-24.74%) and 4.02% (2.23%-28.60%) of T lymphocytes respectively. The MRD positive patients achieved sustained remissions during a median follow-up of 8 months (rang 3-18 months) . None of all the patients relapsed during a median follow-up time of 10 months (3-18 months) . However, 7 PR responders of the relapsed refractory patients maintained a good condition for 1.5-6.0 months. One patient bridged to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, another one sustained remission for 12 months. Cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) occurred in 14 patients with grade 1-2 CRS in MRD positive group and grade 3 CRS in relapsed refractory group.
Conclusions
CAR-T cell therapy not only played a role in the rescue treatment of relapsed and refractory patients, but also produced a surprising effect in the consolidation and maintenance of B-cell lymphoma. CD19 CAR-T cells might be more effective in the treatment of MRD positive B-cell lymphoma patients than in the refractory or relapsed cases. High response rate was observed with fewer adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and prognostic value of cellular immune function in severe patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods A cohort study was conducted to collect the clinical data of 119 severe patients admitted to the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University (Eastern District) including 60 males (50.4%) and 59 females (49.6%), with an average age of 60.9±14.2 years. The primary endpoint of follow-up was death in the hospital, and the disease outcome classification was the secondary endpoint of follow-up within 30 days after admission. We analyzed the correlation between cellular immune function and COVID-19 prognosis. Results A total of 22 patients died during this process, and 47 patients were severe/critical during the follow-up period. The counts of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, and CD19+ in the primary endpoint events were significantly different between the survival group and the death group (all P<0.05). The counts of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD19+ in the secondary endpoint events were significantly different between the normal group and the severe/critical group (all P<0.05). The results of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that the area under the cellular immune function curve of dead patients and severe/critical patients had good predictive value (all P<0.05). Conclusion Cell immune function has good clinical and prognostic value for COVID-19.
