OBJECTIVE To conduct a literature review of one case of follicular lymphoma complicated with iliac bone Cryptococcus neoformans infection so as to raise the understanding of such pathogen in the field of HIV-negative Hodgkin's/non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.METHODS The clinical data were collected from one case of follicular lymphoma patient complicated with C.neoformans infection who was treated in Xinrui Hospital of Xin-wu District,Wuxi City on Feb.24,2023 and retrospectively analyzed.All of relevant literatures regarding to the subject were retrieved in Pubmed,CNKI,Wanfang and VIP databases,and the clinical data of the patients with HIV-negative Hodgkin's/non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with C.neoformans infection were screened out and summa-rized.RESULTS The case was a 28-year-old male and had the underlying disease of follicular lymphoma.The C.neoformans was detected by iliac bone histopathology and metagenome next generation sequencing(mNGS).The condition of the patient improved after the treatment with amphotericin B cholesterol sulphate com-pound and fluconazole.A total of 28 patients,with this case included,were involved in the literature review,23 of whom were male,and 5 were female,and the age ranged between 16 and 79 years old.With respect to major in-fection sites,there were 15(53.57％)cases of cerebral infection,9(32.14％)cases of blood infections,7(25.00％)cases of pulmonary infection,4(14.285％)cases of skin infections,2(7.14％)cases of muscle tis-sue infections,2(7.14％)cases of pleural effusion infections,2(7.14％)cases of bone infections and 1(3.57％)case of bone marrow infection.Totally 11 patients had disseminated Cryptococcus infection,accounting for 39.28％.CONCLUSIONS The C.neoformans infection is seldom detected in the patients with HIV-negative Hodgkin's/non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.The brain is the major infection site with the high probability of dissemina-ted infection.It is necessary for the hospital to deepen the understanding of the pathogen in the field of HIV-negative Hodgkin's/non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Glucose transporter 1(GLUT1)overexpression in tumor cells is a potential target for drug therapy,but few studies have reported screening GLUT1 inhibitors from natural or synthetic compounds.With cur-rent analysis techniques,it is difficult to accurately monitor the GLUT1 inhibitory effect of drug molecules in real-time.We developed a cell membrane-based glucose sensor(CMGS)that integrated a hydrogel electrode with tumor cell membranes to monitor GLUT1 transmembrane transport and screen for GLUT1 inhibitors in traditional Chinese medicines(TCMs).CMGS is compatible with cell membranes of various origins,including different types of tumors and cell lines with GLUT1 expression knocked down by small interfering RNA or small molecules.Based on CMGS continuous monitoring technique,we inves-tigated the glucose transport kinetics of cell membranes with varying levels of GLUT1 expression.We used CMGS to determine the GLUT1-inhibitory effects of drug monomers with similar structures from Scutellaria baicalensis and catechins families.Results were consistent with those of the cellular glucose uptake test and molecular-docking simulation.CMGS could accurately screen drug molecules in TCMs that inhibit GLUT1,providing a new strategy for studying transmembrane protein-receptor interactions.

Objective: To observe the disease type and the changes of symptom load during treatment of patients with Ph chromosome/BCR-ABL fusion gene negative myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). Methods: A total of 84 patients with MPN diagnosed from May 2017 to January 2019 in People′s Hospital of Longhua District of Shenzhen were selected, and were divided into polycythemia vera (PV) group, essential thrombocyhemia (ET) group, and myelofibrosis (PMF) group according to their subtypes, with 28 cases in each group. The scores of MPN-SAF-TSS were compared among the three groups. Besides, the scores of the scale (myeloproliferative neoplasm symptom assessment form total symptom score, MPN-SAF-TSS) in different treatment periods (at the time of the visit, when the disease progressed, when the disease was stable, when the clinical improvement was made, when the partial remission was completed, at the time of remission and recurrence) were also compared. Results: At the time of initial diagnosis, there were significant differences in the incidences of symptom burdens among the three groups of MPN patients with abdominal fullness (χ²=6.095, P=0.047), abdominal discomfort (χ²=7.342, P=0.025), poor mobility (χ²=13.029, P=0.001), inattention (χ²=6.099, P=0.047), pruritus (χ²=6.956, P=0.031), bone pain (χ²=7.807, P=0.020), fever (χ²=8.000, P=0.018) and weight loss (χ²=27.340, P<0.001). The incidences of poor mobility (85.71%, 24/28), inattention (67.86%, 19/28) and weight loss (82.14%, 23/28) in PMF group were significantly higher than those in PV group [42.86% (12/28), 39.29% (11/28), 35.71% (10/28)] and ET group [46.43% (13/28), 39.29% (11/28), 14.29% (4/28)] (all P<0.05). The incidences of abdominal discomfort (75.00%, 21/28) and bone pain (60.71%, 17/28) in PMF group were higher than those in PV group [39.29% (11/28), 25.00% (7/28)] (both P<0.05). The incidences of abdominal fullness (89.29%, 25/28) and fever (42.86%, 12/28) in PMF group were higher than those in ET group [60.71% (17/28), 10.71% (3/28)] (both P<0.05). The incidence of pruritus in PV group (71.43%, 20/28) was higher than that in ET group (42.86%, 12/28) and PMF group (39.29%, 11/28) (both P<0.05). Symptom load scores of patients with fatigue (χ²=368.594, P<0.001), abdominal fullness (χ²=261.312, P<0.001), abdominal discomfort (χ²=195.629, P<0.001), poor mobility (χ²=217.862, P<0.001), lack of concentration (χ²=280.664, P<0.001), night sweats (χ²=239.650, P<0.001), pruritus (χ²=254.418, P<0.001), bone pain (χ²=180.291, P<0.001), fever (χ²=231.613, P<0.001) and weight loss (χ²=227.831, P<0.001) were significantly different during different therapeutic periods. The fatigue symptom load score was higher when the disease progressed than that at the time of the visit (P<0.05), and the symptom score of abdominal fullness was lower than that at the time of visit (P<0.05). Symptom load scores of weakness and pruritus when the condition was stable was lower than those when the disease progressed (both P<0.05). When the clinical improvement was made, symptom load scores of weakness, abdominal discomfort, inattention, night sweats, weight loss were lower than those when the disease was stable (all P<0.05). Symptom load scores of abdominal fullness, poor mobility, inattention, night sweats and pruritus in partial remission period decreased compared to temporary improvement period (all P<0.05). Compared to the partial remission period, the symptom load scores of weakness, abdominal fullness, night sweats, pruritus, bone pain and weight loss in complete remission period were lower (all P<0.05). At last, symptom load scores of weakness, abdominal fullness, abdominal discomfort, poor mobility, inattention, night sweats, pruritus, bone pain, fever and weight loss in recurrence period were higher than those in complete remission period (all P<0.05). Conclusion There are several differences in the main clinical symptoms among patients with different MPN subtypes, and there are significant changes in the main clinical symptoms as the disease progresses or turns around.
