ObjectiveTo systematically assess the public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province, to conduct an in-depth analysis of its strengths and weaknesses, so as to provide scientific basis and strategic recommendations for further enhancement. MethodsA systematic collection of policy documents, public information reports, and research literature related to public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province from 2002 to 2023 was conducted (encompassing a total of 1 263 policy documents, 138 pieces of information reports and 631 research articles). Based on the evaluation criteria suitable for public health systems previously developed by the research team, the basic status and magnitude of change in public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province was evaluated. Additionally, normative gap analyses were employed to identify the strengths and weaknesses. ResultsZhejiang Province ranked 4th nationwide in terms of public health governance capacity with a score of 733.4 points (1 000.0-point maximum). The province has effectively implemented the principle of health first (scoring 698.5 points in the assessment of health-first strategy implementation) and attached sufficient importance to health-related goals (scoring 658.2 points in the scientific rationality of goal setting). However, the implementation of inter-departmental coordination and incentive mechanisms only scored 178.7 points, the feasibility of management and monitoring mechanisms scored even lower at only 144.0 points, and the coverage of incentive mechanisms scored 286.0 points. ConclusionZhejiang Province has effectively implemented its health first strategy and attached great importance to health targets, but still needs to strengthen cross-departmental coordination mechanisms and health-oriented incentives.

BACKGROUND:Rev-erbα is involved in the regulation of inflammation,but pharmacological activation of Rev-erbα increases the risk for cardiovascular diseases.To reduce the relevant risk,an exploration on SR9009,a Rev-erbα agonist,combined with other drugs to relieve inflammation in skeletal myoblasts was conducted,laying the theoretical foundation for the treatment of inflammation-associated skeletal muscle atrophy. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship of SR9009,indolepropionic acid and nuclear factor-κB signaling pathways in lipopolysaccharide-induced C2C12 myoblasts. METHODS:(1)C2C12 myoblasts were induced to differentiate in the presence of lipopolysaccharide(1 μg/mL).RNA-seq and KEGG pathway analysis were used to study signaling pathways.(2)C2C12 myoblast viability was assessed using the cell counting kit-8 assay to determine optimal concentrations of indolepropionic acid.Subsequently,cells were categorized into control group,lipopolysaccharide(1 μg/mL)group,SR9009(10 μmol/L)+lipopolysaccharide group,indolepropionic acid(80μmol/L)+lipopolysaccharide group,and SR9009+indolepropionic acid+lipopolysaccharide group.ELISA was employed to measure protein expression levels of interleukin-6 in the cultured supernatant.Real-time quantitative PCR were employed to measure mRNA expression levels of interleukin-6,tumor necrosis factor α,TLR4 and CD14.Western blot assay were employed to measure protein expression levels of NF-κB p65 and p-NF-κB p65.(3)After Rev-erbα was knocked down by siRNA,knockdown efficiency was assessed by RT-qPCR.And mRNA levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor α were also measured. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the blank control group,lipopolysaccharide time-dependently inhibited myofibroblast fusion to form myotubes,the mRNA expression levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor α were elevated,and the level of interleukin-6 in the cell supernatant was significantly increased.The results of KEGG pathway showed that the nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway was activated by lipopolysaccharide.Indolepropionic acid exhibited significant suppression of C2C12 myoblasts viability when its concentration exceeded 80 μmol/L.Indolepropionic acid and SR9009 inhibited the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway,thereby played an anti-inflammatory role,and suppressed the mRNA expression levels of interleukin-6,tumor necrosis factor α,TLR4 and CD14.Compared with the lipopolysaccharide group,the ratio of p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 protein expression were downregulated.SR9009 combined with indolepropionic acid notably reduced lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation,further downregulated the mRNA expression levels of interleukin-6,tumor necrosis factor α,TLR4 and CD14.The ratio of p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 protein expression was significantly lower than that in the SR9009+lipopolysaccharide group or indolepropionic acid+lipopolysaccharide group.Rev-erbα increases time-dependently with lipopolysaccharide induction.The knockdown efficiency of Rev-erbα by siRNA reached over 58%,and lipopolysaccharide was added after Rev-erbα was successfully knocked down.Compared with the lipopolysaccharide group,the mRNA expression levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor α were significantly up-regulated.These results conclude that Rev-erbα may act as a promising pharmacological target to reduce inflammation.SR9009 targeted activation of Rev-erbα combined with indolepropionic acid significantly inhibits the nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway and attenuates the inflammatory response of C2C12 myofibroblasts.Moreover,the combined anti-inflammatory effect is superior to that of the intervention alone.

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the public health governance capacity of 40 cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Provinces, providing a scientific evaluation basis for building a "Healthy Yangtze River Delta". MethodsA comprehensive collection of policy documents, public information reports, and research literature related to public health governance capacity in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Provinces was conducted, totaling 6 920 policy documents, 1 720 information reports, and 1 200 literature pieces. Based on the evaluation standards for an appropriate public health system established by the research team, the basic status of public health governance capacity was assessed to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the 40 cities. ResultsIn 2022, the public health governance capacity score for the 40 cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Provinces was (562.5±38.0) points. In terms of specific areas, the emergency response field received the highest score of (791.4±49.7) points, while the chronic disease prevention and control field received the lowest score of (368.2±29.6) points. The Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Anhui region has largely achieved the strategic priority of health, gradually improved public health legal regulations, and established a basic organizational framework with a solid foundation for information and data infrastructure. However, challenges still need to be addressed, such as unstable government funding for public health, unclear departmental responsibilities, and barriers to information interoperability. ConclusionThe public health governance capacity of the 40 cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui Province has been at a moderate level, but disparities have still existed across regions and fields. In the future, while continuing to deepen existing advantages, it is essential to accurately identify the causes of problems, establish a long-term and stable investment mechanism, enhance information connectivity mechanisms, further clarify departmental responsibilities, and promote the achievement of the "Healthy Yangtze River Delta" goal.

Objective : To investigate the effects of branched-chain amino acid(BCAA) on the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and its potential mechanism. Methods : 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were divided into the Control, differentiation medium(DM), low-concentration BCAA, and high-concentration BCAA groups. A CCK-8 assay was utilized to evaluate pre-adipocyte survival under various BCAA concentrations. Oil-red O staining was used to observe the formation of lipid droplets in adipocytes. Intracellular triglyceride(TG) and total cholesterol(TC) were detected by enzymatic method. RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of Stat3 and adipocyte differentiation-related genes. Results : CCK-8 results showed that the viability of 3T3-L1 cells was not affected when the BCAA concentration was ≤ 10 mmol/L. Compared with the DM group, the low-concentration BCAA groups(0.5 and 1.0 mmol/L) had significantly larger intracellular lipid droplets, increased number of lipid droplets, and elevated levels of the intracellular TC(0.88vs0.68 mmol/g; 0.83vs0.68 mmol/g,P<0.01) and TG(0.77vs0.40 mmol/g; 0.62vs0.40 mmol/g,P<0.01). Nevertheless, the cell differentiation in the high-concentration group(5.0 and 10.0 mmol/L) significantly decreased compared with that in the DM group. Further, levels of PPARγ, C/EBPα, Adiponectin, and FABP4 mRNA and protein expression significantly increased in the low-concentration group, but significantly decreased in the high-concentration group than that in the DM group(P<0.01). In addition, low concentrations of BCAA promoted stat3 phosphorylation, while high concentrations inhibited its phosphorylation(P<0.01). Conclusion BCAA have a dual role in regulating the differentiation of preadipocytes through Stat3, i.e. low concentrations of BCAA induce cell differentiation by promoting Stat3 phosphorylation; whereas high concentrations of BCAA inhibit Stat3 phosphorylation and cell differentiation.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and healthcare burden in patients with McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS).Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine. Clinical and healthcare burden data were systematically collected through structured questionnaires in 164 children with MAS from February 2022 to May 2023. According to the clinical characteristics, patients were categorized into 3 groups: monosymptomatic, bisymptomatic and trisymptomatic groups. Patients were also divided into 3 groups according to the age of <7, 7-<10 and 10-18 years. Comparative analyses of clinical characteristics and healthcare burden were conducted across age, sex, and symptom categories.Results:The cohort comprised 59 males (36.0%) and 105 females (64.0%) with an age of 4.6 (2.0, 7.4) years. Age stratification revealed 117 cases (71.3%) aged 0-<7 years, 29 cases (17.7%) aged 7-<10 years, and 18 cases (11.0%) aged 10-<18 years. Among monosymptomatic (67 cases, 40.9%), the cohort comprised 32 females (47.8%) and 35 males (52.2%), predominantly presenting with fibrous dysplasia (57 cases, 85.1%). This subgroup showed peak prevalence in the 0-<7 years age range (29 cases (50.9%)). The bisymptomatic cohort (56 cases, 34.1%) consisted of 39 females (69.6%) and 17 males (30.4%), predominantly manifesting fibrous dysplasia with skin hyperpigmentation (25 cases, 44.6%). Peak prevalence occurred in the 0-<7 years subgroup(16 cases (64.0%)). The trisymptomatic cohort (41 cases, 25.0%) consisted of 34 females (82.9%) and 7 males (17.1%), with peak prevalence occurring in the 0-<7 years subgroup (36 cases (87.8%)). The diagnostic journey analysis revealed 94 cases (57.3%) required 1-3 referrals, and 34 cases (20.7%) necessitated >3 referrals from symptom onset to definitive diagnosis. Healthcare expenditure analysis revealed 69 families (42.1%) incurred direct medical costs of 10 000-100 000 CNY, with 11 families (6.7%) exceeding >100 000 CNY. Direct non-medical costs reached of 10 000-100 000 CNY for 62 families (37.8%) and >100 000 CNY for 4 families (2.4%). Productivity loss affected 58 families (35.4%) at 10 000-100 000 CNY and 8 families (4.9%) above 100 000 CNY during the study period.Conclusion:MAS requires increased attention to skeletal manifestations, especially in children aged 0-<7 years. Moreover, the significant financial burden on families necessitates a society-wide support system.

Objective To analyze the factors affecting the prevalence of hyperuricemia(HUA)in an island troop.Methods A total of 1 113 soldiers stationed on an island from December 2021 to December 2022 were selected as research objects by cluster sampling.Their lifestyle and health information were collected.Physical examination and laboratory detection were conducted.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of HUA.Results The prevalence rate of HUA was 21.02%(234/1 113).There were significant differences in the body mass index(BMI),waist-to-hip ratio,triglyceride,alanine aminotransferase,and creatinine between the soldiers with hyperuricemia and the soldiers with normal blood uric acid(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI≥24(OR=1.49,95%CI:1.09-2.05),abnormal liver function(OR=2.26,95%CI:1.31-3.92),and dyslipidemia(OR=1.46,95%CI:1.01-2.12)were positively correlated with hyperuricemia;age>30 years old(OR=0.59,95%CI:0.37-0.93)and exercise time>1 h per week(OR=0.46,95%CI:0.22-0.97)were negatively correlated with HUA.Conclusion The prevalence rate of hyperuricemia is at a high level in an island troop.BMI≥24,age≤30 years old,exercise time≤1 h per week,abnormal liver function,and dyslipidemia are the risk factors for HUA.Prevention and control measures should be taken as early as possible for the soldiers with these risk factors.

Objective To analysis the relationship between the lactate-to-albumin ratio(LAR)and the 28-day prognosis in patients with sepsis.Methods Based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-Ⅳ(MIMIC-Ⅳ)database,patients with sepsis aged≥18 years were selected.Patients were divided into survival and death groups according to their 28-day prognosis.The LAR was divided into quartiles:Q1(LAR<0.45),Q2(0.45≤LAR<0.70),Q3(0.70≤LAR<1.18),and Q4(LAR≥1.18);and into two groups based on the median LAR:low LAR group(LAR≤0.70)and high LAR group(LAR>0.70).Demographic characteristics,comorbidities,laboratory indicators,clinical treatments,and disease severity scores of patients were extracted.LAR was included as a continuous variable and a four-category variable in multiple Logistic regression models,with trend tests performed.Subgroup analyses were conducted based on gender,age,comorbidities,and sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA)score.Receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC curves)were plotted to analyze the predictive efficacy of lactate,albumin(Alb),LAR and SOFA score for the prognosis of sepsis patients.Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted to compare the difference of 28-day cumulative survival rates of sepsis patients in the high and low LAR groups.Results A total of 9 169 patients with sepsis were included,with 6 799 in the survival group and 2 370 in the death group.Compared with the survival group,the death group had older age[years:70.80(58.64,82.25)vs.65.07(53.56,76.92)],higher levels of potassium,creatinine,blood urea nitrogen(BUN),white blood cell count(WBC),lactate,LAR,SOFA score,simplified acute physiology scoreⅡ(SAPSⅡ),and higher proportions of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD),heart failure,use of vasopressors within 48 hours,and continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)[potassium(mmol/L):5.0(4.5,5.7)vs.4.8(4.4,5.4),creatinine(μmol/L):132.60(88.40,212.16)vs.97.24(70.72,159.12),BUN(mmol/L):11.42(7.14,18.56)vs.7.85(5.25,13.57),WBC(×109/L):13.1(8.7,19.1)vs.11.4(7.6,16.4),lactate(mmol/L):2.9(1.8,5.1)vs.2.0(1.4,3.1),LAR:1.03(0.63,1.88)vs.0.62(0.42,0.98),SOFA score:9(6,12)vs.6(4,8),SAPSⅡscore:52(42,64)vs.38(30,47),COPD:8.19%(194/2 370)vs.6.57%(447/6 799),heart failure:29.96%(710/2 370)vs.26.31%(1 789/6 799),use of vasopressors within 48 hours:62.19%(1 474/2 370)vs.37.56%(2 554/6 799),CRRT:19.45%(461/2 370)vs.9.56%(650/6 799),all P<0.05],while lower levels of body weight,chloride,calcium,hemoglobin(Hb),platelet count(PLT),Alb and lower proportions of hypertension were observed in the death group[body weight(kg):75.8(63.6,92.3)vs.78.7(66.5,95.0),chloride(mmol/L):104(98,109)vs.104(100,108),calcium(mmol/L):1.07(1.00,1.15)vs.1.09(1.03,1.15),Hb(g/L):103(87,120)vs.105(90,121),PLT(×109/L):173(104,246)vs.174(118,243),Alb(g/L):29(24,34)vs.33(28,37),hypertension:35.36%(838/2 370)vs.38.34%(2 607/6 799),all P<0.05].In the Logistic regression model adjusted for all confounding factors,the odds ratio(OR)and 95%confidence interval(95%CI)of LAR were 1.74(1.64-1.85),P<0.001;when LAR was treated as a four-category variable,the OR values of Q2,Q3,and Q4 increased progressively compared with Q1,being 1.49(1.22-1.82),2.27(1.88-2.75),and 5.05(4.20-6.08),respectively,P<0.001.Subgroup analyses showed that LAR was an independent risk factor for the 28-day prognosis of sepsis in different subgroups based on gender,age,comorbidities,and SOFA score(all P<0.001),with no interaction effects with the subgroup variables(all P>0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of LAR predicted the 28-day prognosis of patients with sepsis was 0.688(0.675-0.700),higher than that of lactate[0.655(0.642-0.668)]and Alb[0.636(0.623-0.649)],both P<0.001,and not significantly lower than that of SOFA score[0.699(0.687-0.712),P=0.108].Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the 28-day cumulative survival rate was significantly higher in the low LAR group than in the high LAR group(Log-Rank test:χ2=533.24,P<0.001).Conclusion LAR is an independent risk factor for the 28-day prognosis of sepsis patients.Higher LAR is associated with adverse outcomes,and its predictive efficacy is superior to that of lactate and albumin.

Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of non-anticoagulation veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(VV-ECMO)in patients with severe chest trauma.Methods A retrospective cohort study method was used.A total of 19 patients with severe chest trauma who received VV-ECMO with a delayed anticoagulation strategy at Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to October 2021 were included in the delayed anticoagulation group,and 20 patients with severe chest trauma who received VV-ECMO with a non-anticoagulation strategy from November 2021 to October 2024 were included in the non-anticoagulation group.The overall clinical characteristics of the patients were statistically analyzed,including gender,age,injury severity score(ISS),acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ),reason for VV-ECMO,use of vasoactive drugs,oxygenation index(PaO2/FiO2),and interval from injury to VV-ECMO.The primary outcomes were hemorrhagic and thrombotic complications.The secondary outcomes were blood transfusion during VV-ECMO,VV-ECMO time,mechanical ventilation time,intensive care unit(ICU)length of stay,and 28-day mortality.Results There was no significant difference in gender,age,ISS score,APACHEⅡscore,reason for VV-ECMO,use of vasoactive drugs,PaO2/FiO2,and interval from injury to VV-ECMO between the non-anticoagulation group and the delayed anticoagulation group.There was no significant difference in overall incidence of hemorrhagic and thrombotic between the two groups[incidence of hemorrhagic complications:15.0%(3/20)vs.31.6%(6/19),incidence of thrombotic:15.0%(3/20)vs.5.3%(1/19),both P>0.05].The infusion rate of 4 or more paked red blood cell(PRBC)within 24 hours during VV-ECMO in the non-anticoagulation group was significantly lower than that in the delayed anticoagulation group[5.0%(1/20)vs.31.6%(6/19),P<0.05].The amount of PRBC and platelet transfusion and the time on VV-ECMO in the non-anticoagulation group during VV-ECMO were significantly lower than those in the delayed anticoagulation group[PRBC(U):5.8±3.8 vs.8.1±3.1,platelets(U):1(0,1)vs.2(1,3),time on VV-ECMO(hours):71.55±24.37 vs.114.21±34.08,all P<0.05].There were no statistically significant differences in the amount of plasma and cryoprecipitate transfusion during VV-ECMO,mechanical ventilation time,ICU hospitalization time,and 28-day mortality between the two groups.Conclusion For patients with severe chest trauma receiving VV-ECMO withholding routine systemic anticoagulation did not result in thrombotic complications or higher mortality and required less PRBC and platelet transfusions.Non-anticoagulant VV-ECMO is safe and feasible for patients with severe chest trauma with high risk of bleeding.

Objective To investigate the expression of leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2(LECT2)and complement C3 in the serum of patients with autoimmune hepatitis(AIH),and their correlation with liver function grading and prognosis.Methods A total of 109 AIH patients admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to February 2024 were included as the observation group.According to the disease activity upon admission,they were grouped into the active group(59 cases)and the remission group(50 cases).According to the Child-Pugh grading,they were assigned into the grade A group(47 cases),the grade B group(40 cases),and the grade C group(22 cases).According to the prognosis,they were assigned into a poor prognosis group(35 cases)and a good prognosis group(74 cases),with 110 healthy volunteers who underwent physical checkup in our hospital as the control group.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was applied to measure serum LECT2 level.Immunoturbidimetry was applied to detect serum complement C3 level.The correlation between LECT2,complement C3 and clinical indexes was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis.Spearman correlation analysis was applied to analyze the relationship between serum LECT2,complement C3,and Child-Pugh grading.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were established to evaluate the predictive value of LECT2 and complement C3 levels for poor prognosis in AIH patients.Results The serum level of LECT2 in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,and the level of complement C3 was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The expression level of ELECT2 in the grade C group was prominently higher than that in the grade B group and grade A group,while the expression level of complement C3 was prominently lower than that in the grade B group and grade A group(P＜0.05).The level of serum LECT2 in poor prognosis group was higher than that in good prognosis group,and the level of serum complement C3 was lower than that in good prognosis group(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that LECT2 was positively correlated with IgG,IL-6,TNF-α and Th17/Treg,and negatively correlated with TGF-β,while complement C3 was negatively correlated(all P＜0.05);Spearman correlation analysis showed that LECT2 level was positively correlated with Child-Pugh grading,while complement C3 level was negatively correlated with Child-Pugh grading(rs=0.803,-0.875,both P＜0.05).ROC curve reveled that the AUC of serum LECT2 and complement C3 levels in predicting poor prognosis of AIH patients was 0.802 and 0.805,respectively,the AUC of their combined detection was 0.905,which was higher than that of single indicator detection(P＜0.05).Conclusion Serum LECT2 level is elevated and complement C3 level is reduced in AIH patients,and they are correlated with liver function grading and disease severity.The combined detection of the two can serve as serological indicators for evaluating liver function and predicting prognosis.

Purpose To investigate the presence,proportion,clinical significance and origin of tumor cells with a macrophage phenotype in tumor tissues of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL),and to explore wheth-er CD68 positive tumor cells can be induced in DLBCL cell lines in vitro.Methods The presence of CD68+CD163+CD20+PAX5-cells in the samples of DLBCL patients was first qualitatively detected by multiplex immunofluorescence staining,and then the proportion of CD79a+B lymphocytes,CD68+macrophages,and CD68+CD79a+double-positive cells were quantified.Patients were grouped according to the proportion of double-positive cells,and the differences in prognosis and clinicopathological features of DLBCL patients between subgroups were investigated.For cases with posi-tive BCL6 gene locus breaks,co-localization of CD68 with BCL6 gene breakapart was performed using combined immu-nofluorescence and immunological in situ hybridization to ascertain the tumor nature of B cell with a macrophage pheno-type.DLBCL cell lines(OCI-LY3,SU-DHL2)were treated with phorbol myristate acetate(PMA),and changes in the proteins levels of CD68 and PAX5 proteins were detected by flow cytometry.Quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR)was used to detect mRNA levels of PAX5,an important transcription factor for B cell differentiation and develop-ment,and macrophage-related genes(CD68,ARG1,CD163,CD206,Dectin-1,PU.1,C/EBPα,C/EBPβ).In ad-dition,PMA-treated DLBCL cell lines(OCI-LY3,SU-DHL2)were co-incubated with pH-sensitive fluorescent dye pHrodo to detect the phagocytosis ability of PMA-treated DLBCL cells.Results The percentage of CD68+B lympho-cytes in 50 patients with DLBCL varied from 0 to 9.3％,and the overall survival(OS)ranged from 0.008 2 to 4.2 years.Patients with the low CD68+B lymphocytes group exhibited a significantly lower OS compared to those in the high CD68+B lymphocytes group(P=0.039).There was a significant difference in the molecular typing of DLBCL patients(P=0.009 5)between different subgroups for the proportion of CD68+B lymphocytes.CD68+B lymphocytes were derived from tumor cells in DLBCL patients.The proportion of CD68+cells and CD68+PAX5-cells significantly increased in DLBCL after treatment with PMA(P＜0.05).The other macrophage markers CD68,ARG1,CD 163,CD206,Dectin-1,PU.1,C/EBPα,C/EBPβ,and the important B-cell transcription factor PAX5 were significantly different from the control group in terms of relative mRNA expression(P＜0.05).Cellular phagocytosis was enhanced after PMA treatment of DLBCL cells.Conclusion Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma tumor tissue contains a certain per-centage of CD68+neoplastic B lymphocytes.The proportion of CD68+B lymphocytes is correlated with patient progno-sis and molecular typing.DLBCL cell lines can be induced to differentiate into CD68+tumor cells in vitro.
