Objective To study the expressions of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK-1) and cytotoxic proteins in primary systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (S-ALCL) and their relationship with clinical outcome. Methods 51 S-ALCL cases were collected from Lymphoma Lab of Peking University Health Science Centre & Peking Children's Hospital. The morphologic characteristics were studied under routine microscope, and essential immunohistochemical stainings were performed and reviewed to confirm the diagnosis of S-ALCL. Immunohistochemical stainings for ALK-1 and cytotoxic proteins (TIA-1 & granzyme B) were performed using standard SP method. Patients related clinical data including follow-up materials were collected. Results Survival time of 44 cases with completely clinical follow up materials ranged from 0.5~66months. 36 out of 51 cases(37 %) was positive for ALK-1 protein. While 20 cases out of 47 S-ALCL cases ( 42.55 % ) positive for granzyme B and 22 out of 28 cases (81.48 %) were positive for TIA-1. The prognosis of patients with ALK-1 protein positive and granzyme B negative expression was better, but TIA-1 expression might have nothing to do with clinical outcome (P>0.05). In addition, multivariate analysis confirmed that ALK-1 protein expression, granzyme B protein expression and Ann-Arbor stage system were possible for prognosis(P<0.05), Conclusion Expression of ALK-1 and granzyme B protein expression may serve as two independent prognostic predictors in S-ALCL patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant BA.2.2 infection in children with different basic diseases.Methods:A total of 76 children with different basic diseases admitted to Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from March 2 to June 10, 2022 were retrospectively analyzed in terms of clinical manifestations, supplementary examination, treatment and prognosis.These children were divided into hematologic tumor group and non-hematologic tumor group which included cardiopulmonary disease group, neurological disease group and congenital malformation group.The clinical characteristics and prognosis of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant infection in children with basic diseases were analyzed.Results:Among 76 children with basic diseases, 61 patients were newly diagnosed with fever and 15 patients were asymptomatic.There were 26, 22, 20, and 8 cases with hematologic tumor diseases, cardiopulmonary diseases, neurological diseases and congenital malformation, respectively.The average fever time was 3-7 days.There was no significant difference in the clinical manifestations among each group ( P>0.05). However, children with hematological tumors were more prone to single organ or multiple organ dysfunction.The level of C-reactive protein was higher than that in the non-hematologic tumor group, while the white blood cell count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count and hemoglobin were lower than those in the non-hematologic tumor group.The time of virus negative transformation and the duration of fever were higher than those in the non-hematologic tumor group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). Among the children in the hematologic tumor group, the blood routine and inflammation indexes of children infected with SARS-CoV-2 after chemotherapy within 2 weeks were worse than those in the non-chemotherapy group, and the duration of fever and the time of virus negative transformation were significantly longer ( P<0.05). Three children with hematologic tumor showed virus positive recovery after chemotherapy and surgical treatment after virus negative transformation. Conclusion:Omicron variant BA.2.2 of SARS-CoV-2 has no serious impact on children with cardiopulmonary diseases, nervous system diseases and congenital malformations.However, the duration of fever and virus positive time in hematologic tumor group extended, especially after chemotherapy.It has an important impact on the formulation of epidemic prevention and timing selection of chemotherapy for children with hematological tumors.

Objective:To investigate the pathogens and drug resistance of bacterial enteritis in children, analyze the clinical characteristics of bacterial enteritis in children, and provide basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The fecal culture strain and drug sensitivity of patients with bacterial enteritis admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to December 2020 were analyzed and summarized, and the clinical characteristics of patients who were infected by Salmonella and Escherichia coli were compared.Results:There were a total of 173 patients, aged from 21 days to 15 years, with a median age of 2.00(1.10, 3.54)years.Bacterial enteritis was most likely to occur in summer and autumn, and the incidence rate was 40.5% and 29.5%, respectively.One hundreds and seventy-three strains of bacteria were cultured in feces, including 148 strains of Salmonella(85.5%), 18 strains of Escherichia coli(10.4%), five strains of Staphylococcus aureus and two strains of Shigella.One hundreds and one of 141 patients who were infected with Salmonella were detected for leukocytes of in feces(71.6%), and four of 16 patients with Escherichia coli were detected for leukocytes(25.0%). The difference was significant( χ2=14.1, P<0.001). Eighty-eight of 113 patients(77.9%) who were infected by Salmonella with increased CRP(CRP>8 mg/L)and the proportion in Escherichia coli infection cases was 6/13(46.2%). There was significant difference( χ2=4.63, P=0.03). The drug sensitivity of Salmonella and Escherichia coli was summarized.There was no carbapenem resistant strain cultured; The sensitivity to piperacillin/tazobactam and cefoperazone/sulbactam was higher than 85%; The sensitivity to cefepime, ceftazidimeand ceftriaxone was higher than 75%; The sensitivity to ampicillin was lower than 30%, and the sensitivity to quinolones was between 20%-40%. Conclusion:Children aged 1-3 years are prone to bacterial enteritis in summer and autumn.The most common pathogens causing bacterial enteritis are Salmonella and Escherichia coli.White blood cells are more easily detected in feces of patients with Salmonella infection, and the increase rate of C-reactive protein in peripheral blood is higher.Patients with bacterial enteritis are recommended to use the third-generation cephalosporins and aforementioned antibiotics and piperacillin/tazobactam for empirical treatment.The sensitivity to quinolones is reduced, and may not be suitable for clinical application.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of retzius-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with retrograde release of the neurovascular bundle.Methods:From January 2021 to January 2022, the clinical data of 113 patients with retzius-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) was retrospectively analyzed. The ages of the optimized group and the standard group were (67.5±6.4) years and (67.7±6.1) years, and the body mass index (BMI) was (25.0±3.2) kg/m 2 and (24.9±3.1) kg/m 2, respectively. The prostate volume was (42.8±15.4) ml and (41.0±17.9) ml, the preoperative PSA was (13.5±13.1) ng/ml and (11.9±16.0) ng/ml, and the preoperative IIEF-5 score was (15.0±4.0) and (14.8±4.2) points, respectively. Gleason scores were (7.2±0.8) points and (7.1±0.9) points, respectively, with no statistical significance ( P>0.05). The clinical stages of cT 2 and cT 3 were 35 and 40 cases in the optimized group and 16 and 22 cases in the standard group, respectively. There were 5 and 11 cases of preoperative neoadjuvant therapy, respectively, with no statistical significance ( P>0.05). The optimized RS-RARP is the blunt dissection of the denonvilliers fascia and forward to the apex of prostate, and retrograde release of the NVB. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, drainage tube retention time, days of hospital stay, positive rate of pathological margin and incidence of complications were compared. The recovery of urinary continence was evaluated at 2 weeks after the catheter was removed, and the postoperative IIEF-5 score and PSA were followed up at 1 month after the surgery. Immediate urinary continence was defined as the use of 1 pad on the day of radical prostatectomy. Follow-up intervals were no more than 3 months. The log-rank test compared urinary incontinence rates between the two modalities. Results:All 113 cases of surgery were completed, and median follow-up was 16 months. The operation time was (79.7±26.6) min and (149.8±40.1) min, and the intraoperative blood loss was (54.9±24.7) ml and (110.0±83.2) ml, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). The retention time of postoperative drainage tube was (5.3±2.1) d and (5.5±2.1) d in the optimal group and the standard group, and the days of hospital stay was (7.6±2.1) d and (8.5±2.3) d, respectively. The positive rate of postoperative pathological margin was 19.6% (10/51) and 24.2% (15/62), respectively. There was no significant difference ( P>0.05). immediate urinary continence was 86.3% (44/51) and 69.4% (43/62) in the optimized group and the standard group, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.033). Postoperative IIEF-5 scores were (13.2±3.3) and (11.0±4.3), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.012). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the risk of urinary incontinence was lower in the optimized group ( P=0.02). Conclusions:The optimized RS-RARP might shorten the operation time, reduce intraoperative bleeding, and help the recovery of urinary continence and sexual function to a great extent.
