Lymphoma is a highly heterogeneous malignancy characterized by complex molecular regulatory mechanisms that result in significant differences in aggressiveness and prognosis across its subtypes.Gene copy number alteration(CNA)analysis,an emerging technology,has become a pivotal tool in the precision re-search and management of lymphoma.By detecting DNA deletions,amplifications,and chromosomal copy number changes,CNA analysis addresses the limitations of traditional cytogenetic techniques,enhances the ac-curacy of subtype classification,and aids in evaluating tumor heterogeneity and disease progression.This re-view provides a comprehensive summary of CNA detection methods and their applications in lymphoma,with a focus on recent advancements in the field.It offers a comparative analysis of CNA detection techniques and discusses their role in precision diagnosis,subtype classification,monitoring disease progression,predicting therapeutic resistance,and assessing prognosis.Additionally,the review explores the potential applications of CNA analysis in uncovering molecular regulatory mechanisms,optimizing therapeutic strategies,and impro-ving patient survival outcomes.

Objective To assess renal oxygen metabolism and iron deposition in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients using a combination of blood oxygen level-dependent(BOLD)and mDixon Quant techniques.Methods Clinical data of 58 T2DM patients from Tianjin First Central Hospital(September 2022-December 2023)were prospectively collected.According to urinary albumin-to-creation ratio(ACR),patients were divided into the normal albuminuria(NAU,ACR＜30 mg/g,n=35)group and the microalbuminuria(MAU,30 mg/g≤ACR＜300 mg/g,n=23)group.Thirty-three healthy volunteers were included as the control group during the same period.All participants underwent renal BOLD and mDixon Quant MRI to obtain cortical and medullary apparent relaxation rate(R2*)values.The differences of general data and image parameter values were compared between groups.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of relevant parameters for early renal function changes.Results There were significant differences in body weight,estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)and ACR between the control group,the NAU group and the MAU group(P＜0.01).The R2* value in renal cortex was lower than that in renal medulla(P＜0.01)in the same group.Apart from R2* value of BOLD renal cortex,which showed no significant difference between the three groups(P＜0.05),and the differences in the other parameters were statistically significant(P<0.05).When distinguishing between the control group and the NAU group,the NAU group and the MAU group,as well as between the control group and the early-stage T2DM(NAU+MAU)group,the combined two-sequence approach demonstrated higher area under the curve(AUCs)than any single sequence alone,with AUC value of 0.892(95%CI:0.809-0.975),0.785(95%CI:0.666-0.904)and 0.841(95%CI:0.756-0.926),respectively.Conclusion The combination of BOLD imaging with mDixon Quant enables noninvasive and quantitative assessment of alterations in renal oxygen metabolism and iron content in early-stage T2DM patients.The diagnostic performance of this combined approach surpasses that of individual methods.

Objective To observe the value of intraoperative ultrasound(IOUS)for microsurgical resection of primary supratentorial glioblastoma.Methods Totally 130 cases of central nervous system WHO grade 4 primary supratentorial glioblastoma confirmed by postoperative pathology were retrospectively enrolled and divided into IOUS group and control group(each n=65)based on whether IOUS was used during operation.The general information,resection related indicators and postoperative complications were compared between groups,and the application value of IOUS was analyzed.Results In IOUS group,the tumor depth was greater,while the intraoperative bleeding,duration of hospitalization and operation-duration were all less than those in control group(all P＜0.05).Postoperative complications occurred in 28 cases of IOUS group and 29 cases of control group,and the incidence of subdural effusion in IOUS group was lower than that in control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion IOUS could effectively reduce intraoperative bleeding,duration of hospitalization,operation-duration and incidence of postoperative subdural effusion in microsurgical resection of primary supratentorial glioblastoma.

Objective To investigate the value of intraoperative ultrasound radiomics for predicting isocitrate dehydrogenase 1(IDH1)mutation of high-grade glioma.Methods Ninety-five patients with high-grade glioma(WHO grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ)who underwent craniotomy glioma resection and ultrasound assisted tumor localization during operation and then confirmed by pathology were retrospectively enrolled.The patients were divided into training set(n=66,including 24 IDH1 mutation type and 42 IDH1 wild type)and validation set(n=29,including 11 IDH1 mutation type and 18 IDH1 wild type)at the ratio of 7∶3.Based on intraoperative ultrasound,radiomics features were extracted,the best ones were screened,and a radiomics model was established for predicting IDH1 mutation of high-grade glioma using random forest algorithm.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted,the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the model,and decision curve analysis(DCA)was used to evaluate the clinical value of the model.Results A total of 851 radiomics features were extracted based on intraoperative ultrasound,and finally 5 best ones were screened out to construct a radiomics model.The AUC of the radiomics model for predicting IDH1 mutation of high-grade glioma in training and validation sets was 0.902 and 0.707,respectively,with no significant difference(P=0.097).DCA maps showed that the clinical net benefit of the radiomics model was high.Conclusion Intraoperative ultrasound radiomics could effectively predict IDH1 mutation of high-grade glioma.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of preoperative ultrasound in combination with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),calcitonin(Ctn),and carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA)for cervical lymph node metastasis in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma.Methods A total of 103 patients diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC)who were admitted to the hospital between October 2021 and October 2024 were selected as the case group.Among them,34 patients with cervical lymph node metastasis confirmed by surgical and pathological examination were assigned to the metastatic group,and 69 patients without cervical lymph node metas-tasis were assigned to the non-metastatic group.Additionally,103 patients with benign thyroid nodules admitted during the same period were enrolled as the control group.Clinical data,ultrasonographic features,and serum levels of NLR,Ctn,and CEA were compared between the metastatic and non-metastatic groups.The predictive value of ultrasonographic features and the combined detection of NLR,Ctn,and CEA levels for cervical lymph node metastasis in PTC was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis.Results Compared to the control group,the case group exhibited a higher proportion of patients with microcalcification and grade 3 blood flow,as well as elevated levels of NLR,Ctn,and CEA(P<0.05).Similarly,compared to the non-metastatic group,the metastatic group showed a higher proportion of patients with microcalcification and grade 3 blood flow,along with increased levels of NLR,Ctn,and CEA(P<0.05).The metastatic group tested positive,whereas the non-metastatic group tested negative.The area under the curve(AUC)for ultrasound features(micro-calcification,blood flow classification)combined with NLR,Ctn,and CEA levels in diagnosing cervical lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma was higher than that of individual indicators(P<0.05).Conclusions Preoperative ultrasound combined with the assessment of NLR,Ctn,and CEA levels demonstrates significant predictive value for cervical lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the efficiency and mechanism of C1q tumor necrosis factor-related protein 3(CTRP3)on reprogramming of cardiac fibroblasts(CFs)into induced cardiomyocyte-like cells(iCMs)by Sendai virus(SeV)vector overexpressing Gata4,Mef2c and Tbx5(SeVGMT).Methods CFs were divided into Control,NC-Lv,CTRP3-Lv,NC-sh,and CTRP3-sh groups.NC-Lv,CTRP3-Lv,NC-sh,and CTRP3-sh were transfected into CFs using Lipofectamine 3000 reagent for 48 hours.Lipofectamine 3000 reagent was then mixed with SeVGMT and incubated at room temperature for 48 hours,the culture medium was then replaced,and cells were cultured for 21 days.Cell morphology was observed under a microscope at 0,3,7,14,and 21 days.Expression levels of the myocardial-specific proteins α-myosin heavy chain(α-MHC),α-actin,cardiac troponin T(cTnT),connexin 43(Cx43),cardiac muscle α-actin(Actc1),and myosin heavy chain 6(Myh6)were detected at different time points by immunofluorescence,quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction,and Western blot,and the proportions of beating cells at different time points were calculated.Results The relative fluorescence intensity and mRNA and protein levels of α-MHC,α-actin,cTnT,Cx43,Actc1,and Myh6 in CFs in each group increased with increasing culture time(P＜0.05),with significantly higher expression levels of myocardial-specific proteins at 14 days of culture than at 7 days(P＜0.05).The relative fluorescence intensities and mRNA and protein levels of α-MHC,α-actin,cTnT,Cx43,Actc1,and Myh6 in CFs at 3,7,14,and 21 days of culture were significantly increased in the CTRP3-Lv group compared with the NC-Lv group(P＜0.05),but were significantly decreased in CFs in the CTRP3-sh group compared with the NC-sh group(P＜0.05).Beating cells appeared in CFs in each group at 7 days of culture.The proportion of beating cells in each group increased with increasing culture time(P＜0.05),and the proportion was significantly higher at 14 days than at 7 days(P＜0.05).The proportion of beating cells among CFs was increased in the CTRP3-Lv group at 7,14,and 21 days of culture compared with the NC-Lv group(P＜0.05),while the proportion of beating cells in the CTRP3-sh group was decreased compared with the NC-sh group(P＜0.05).Conclusions CTRP3 can enhance SeVGMT reprogramming of CFs into iCMs.
