Objective To study clinical characteristics and prognostic factors in primary systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (S-ALCL). Methods Clinical data of 56 S-ALCL were retrospectively analysed, who were diagnosed in Lymphoma Lab of Peking University Health Science Centre. Immunohistochemical staining for ALK-1 and bcl-2 were performed by standard SP method. Results The median age of patients is 17 years, and the ratio of sex was1.67:1 (male : female) in 56 cases of S-ALCL. Among of the 49 cases who were followed up, 32.65 % (16/49) of patients died, and all of them died within two years after diagnosis. The 3-year and 5-year overall survival were 64.28 %. 41 out of 56 cases (73.21 %) was positive for ALK-1 protein, while 10 cases out of 56 S-ALCL cases (17.86 %) positive for bcl-2. Clinical staging, extranodal sites of involvement or with extranodal sites of involvement and ALK were important prognostic factors with statistic significance by Long-rank test. Among of them, Clinical staging was the most independent prognostic factor by COX multivariate analysis. Conclusion S-ALCL was mostly seen in the young and middle-aged male patients. The death were most frequently occurred within two years after diagnosis. Most of the patients who have good responses to chemotherapy can get the complete remission and long-term survival. Clinical staging, extranodal sites of involvement or with extranodal sites of involvement and ALK were very important prognostic factors which can be used to predict the patients long term survival, and guide the treatment.

Objective:
To demonstrate the effect of structured and autonomous sports activities on children s basic motor skills in a preset outdoor field for a certain time and frequency, and to provide a reference for improving children s development of basic motor skills.
Methods:
Selected 141 typical developing children from 4 public kindergartens in Nanning, and randomly divided them into experimental group(71) and control group(70). The experimental group participated in physical activities for 10 weeks (3 times a week, 1 hour each time) in the preset outdoor field (each physical activity was composed of 30 minutes of autonomous physical activity and 30 minutes of structured physical activity), while the control group had no intervention of site preset and specially designed activities. Before and after the experiment, 9 basic motor skills (including 3 fine motor skills and 6 gross motor skills) were tested.
Results:
There were significant differences in double hand throwing, single leg balance (left), single leg balance (right), swing bridge balance and beam walking before and after intervention in experimental group(t=7.82,4.25,9.69,-10.01,-28.28,P<0.05), but there was no statistical significance in the improvement of heel toe coordinated walking(t=-0.60,P>0.05). There was no significant improvement in coin throwing (right hand), coin throwing (left hand) and square stacking(t=0.91,1.03,0.42,P>0.05), while in the control group, except for the balance of swinging bridge(t=4.27,P<0.05) and heel and toe walking(t=3.96,P<0.05), the improvement of other basic motor skills was not statistically significant(t=1.21, 0.74, 0.31, 0.97,P>0.05).
Conclusion
The quality of sports environment has a potential impact on the basic motor skills of preschool children. The basic motor skills of the pre-school children can be greatly improved by conducting structural and autonomous physical activities with a certain time and frequency.

Objective To discuss the therapy for acetabular comminuted fractur e combined with compressive defects. Methods From July 1997 to February 2005, 43 cases of comminuted acetabular fracture combined with compressive defect were t reated. 25 cases were obsolete, 16 fresh, and 2 malformed (90 days after injury) . 34 cases were complicated fractures with defects, and 9 simple fractures with defects. The defect volumes ranged from 3 to 9 cm3, averaging 4.5 cm3. They were treated with ATMFS (acetabular tridimensional memory fixation system) to fixate the comminuted bone fragments tridimensionally. The modified acetabular approac h, reduction of acetabular comminuted articular face, anatomical reconstruction of posterior wall of acetabulum with autogenous ilium, autogenous and artificial bone implantation and bone wax isolation were used. The follow-ups lasted from 5 to 86 months, averaging 15.7 months. Results 31 cases achieved anatomical red uction by filling up the compressive defects. 12 cases were treated by anatomica l reconstruction of posterior wall. On average, 5.3 months after operation, the injured hip joint was as good as the healthy one in 40 cases. Ischemia necrosis of femoral head occurred in 1 case, and 2 cases experienced heterotopic ossifica tion with ischemia necrosis of femoral head which led to osseous fusion of hip j oint. Conclusion The new methods for treatment of acetabular fractures with comp ressive defects elevate the reduction rate of acetabulum and femoral head, and a re effective for the functional recovery of hip joint.

BackgroundCurrently, there has been a gradual increase in the incidence of mental diseases, becoming a problem that has attracted great concern of the general public. Zhuhai is a core city of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the local government have attached great importance to the mental health of residents. The systematic study on the mental health has focused largely on pregnant women and medical workers, yet few are on the adult residents. ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and its influencing factors of anxiety and depression among adult residents in Zhuhai, so as to provide references for formulating targeted psychological intervention strategies. MethodsFrom September 1 to December 1, 2021, a cohort of 5 600 permanent residents aged 18 years and above in Zhuhai were selected through multistage sampling. All participants were subjected to complete Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item (GAD-7) and National Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire based on Wenjuanxing software. Then Logistic regression was employed to identify the factors associated with anxiety and depression among the residents. ResultsAmong the 5 600 residents, depressive symptoms were detected in 842 (15.04%) residents and anxiety symptoms in 579 (10.34%) residents. Logistic regression analysis yielded that female gender (OR=1.488), living in Doumen district (OR=1.942), junior college/undergraduate level (OR=3.602), postgraduate and above (OR=5.904), irregular meal pattern (OR=3.320), comorbid chronic diseases (OR=3.244), disqualification of self-assessment (OR=3.414) and disqualification of mental health skill (OR=2.131) were risk factors for depression symptoms, whereas age ≥25 years old (of all age groups OR<1), monthly per capita income >20 000 yuan (OR=0.438) and exercising ≥3 times a week (OR=0.431) were protective factors for depression symptoms. Age of 25~34 years old (OR=2.051), living in Jinwan district (OR=1.729) or Doumen district (OR=1.901), junior college/undergraduate level (OR=2.955), postgraduate and above (OR=6.662), irregular meal pattern (OR=2.741), comorbid chronic diseases (OR=3.535), disqualification of self-assessment (OR=3.325) and disqualification of mental health skill (OR=1.838) were risk factors for anxiety symptoms, while monthly per capita income of 6 001~9 000 yuan (OR=0.665) and exercising ≥3 times a week (OR=0.572) were protective factors for anxiety symptoms. ConclusionThe mental health status of adult residents in Zhuhai is affected by various factors, including gender, age, region of residence, education level, meal pattern, exercise frequency and chronic diseases.

ObjectiveTo analyze the value of grey-scale reversed T1-weighted (rT1) MRI in the detection of structural lesions of the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (ax-SpA). MethodsFifty-two ax-SpA patients who underwent both MRI and CT in our hospital within a week from February 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively included. Both sacral and iliac side of each SIJ on oblique coronal images were divided into anterior, middle and posterior portion. Two radiologists reviewed independently three groups of MRI including T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), rT1 and T1WI + rT1 images to evaluate the structural lesions like erosions, sclerosis and joint space changes in each of the 6 regions of the SIJ. One of the radiologist did the evaluation again one month later. CT images were scored for lesions by a third radiologist and served as the reference standard. Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated to test the inter- and intra-reader agreement for the assessment of SIJ lesions. A Friedman test was performed to compare the lesion results of MRI and CT image findings. We examined the diagnostic performance [accuracy, sensitivity (SE) and specificity] of different groups of MRI in the detection of lesions by using diagnostic test. A McNemar test was used to compare the differences of three groups of MRI findings. ResultsCT showed erosions in 71 joints, sclerosis in 65 and joint space changes in 53. Good inter-and intra-reader agreements were found in three groups of MRI images for the assessment of lesions, with the best agreement in T1WI + rT1. There were no difference between T1WI + rT1 and CT for the assessment of all lesions, nor between rT1 and CT for the assessment of erosions and joint space changes (P>0.05). T1WI + rT1 yielded better accuracy and SE than T1WI in detection of all lesions (Accuracy erosions: 90.3% vs 76. 9%; SE erosions: 91.6% vs 76.1%; Accuracy sclerosis: 89.4% vs 80.8%; SE sclerosis: 84.6% vs 73.9%; Accuracy joint space changes: 86.5% vs 73.1%; SE joint space changes: 84.9% vs 60.4%; P<0.05). rT1 yielded better accuracy and SE than T1WI in detection of erosions and joint space changes (Accuracy erosions: 87.5% vs 76.9%; SE erosions: 88.7% vs 76.1%; Accuracy joint space changes: 85.6% vs 73.1%; SE joint space changes: 83.0% vs 60.4%; P<0.05). ConclusionsIn the detection of SIJ structural lesions in ax-SpA, rT1 improves the diagnostic performance and T1WI + rT1 is more superior to others.

Unlike healthy, non-transformed cells, the proteostasis network of cancer cells is taxed to produce proteins involved in tumor development. Cancer cells have a higher dependency on molecular chaperones to maintain proteostasis. The chaperonin T-complex protein ring complex (TRiC) contains eight paralogous subunits (CCT1-8), and assists the folding of as many as 10% of cytosolic proteome. TRiC is essential for the progression of some cancers, but the roles of TRiC subunits in osteosarcoma remain to be explored. Here, we show that CCT4/TRiC is significantly correlated in human osteosarcoma, and plays a critical role in osteosarcoma cell survival. We identify a compound anticarin-β that can specifically bind to and inhibit CCT4. Anticarin-β shows higher selectivity in cancer cells than in normal cells. Mechanistically, anticarin-β potently impedes CCT4-mediated STAT3 maturation. Anticarin-β displays remarkable antitumor efficacy in orthotopic and patient-derived xenograft models of osteosarcoma. Collectively, our data uncover a key role of CCT4 in osteosarcoma, and propose a promising treatment strategy for osteosarcoma by disrupting CCT4 and proteostasis.
