During the past decate, Chinese pathologists have made remarkable achievements in the area of soft tissue tumors. They have not only done in-depth researches in selected entities like liposarcoma and round cell sarcomas, but have also issued expert consenses and guideline, as well as published professional books and translation books, with purpose to comprehensively improve the level of diagnosis nationwide.

Over the past decade, the field of bone tumor pathology in China has made remarkable progress. These achievements are reflected not only in the innovation and standardization of diagnostic techniques, which have significantly improved diagnostic accuracy, but also in the in-depth exploration of tumor pathogenesis and the continuous refinement of treatment protocols. More than one hundred research papers on bone tumor pathology published in the Chinese Journal of Pathology stand as a testament to the relentless efforts and practical contributions of Chinese pathologists in this field. On the occasion of the Chinese Journal of Pathology′s 70th anniversary, we summarize the progress in bone tumor pathology while also looking forward to the future, aiming to promote greater advancements in this field.

Objective To investigate the effect of intensive phototherapy for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia on cellular immune function and short-term immune-related adverse effects.Methods Totally 180 infants with hyperbilirubi-nemia were treated with different light intensity,the efficacy,cellular immune function and immune adverse effects were followed up for six months after discharge.Results After phototherapy,serum interleukin-6(IL-6)in both groups were decreased and CD4+(%)and CD4+/CD8+were increased than that before phototherapy.The decrease rate of total bilirubin in the intensive phototherapy group was significantly faster than that in the conventional photo-therapy group,at the same time,the total duration of phototherapy and hospital stay were significantly shorter than that in the conventional phototherapy group(P＜0.05).No statistical significance in the incidence of diarrhea,rash,fever and hypo-calcemia during hospitalization and no immune-related adverse effects in 6 months after discharge were recorded.Conclusions Compared with conventional phototherapy,intensive phototherapy reduces serum bilirubin level more quickly and shorten the duration of phototherapy and hospital stay.No common adverse effects nor immune-related adverse effects are recorded during hospitalization and the period of six months after discharge.

Objective:To determine the long-term efficacy and safety of intra-cervical lymphatic immunotherapy (ICLIT) for adult allergic rhinitis (AR) by comparing it with subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT).Methods:A total of 100 adult AR patients with dust mite allergy in Department of Otorhinolaryngology, First People′s Hospital of Foshan from Feb 2018 to Dec 2019 were randomly divided into two groups, 50 in SCIT group [including 42 males and 8 females, aging (32.55±9.72) years] and 50 in ICLIT group [including 45 males and 5 females, aging (31.33±9.84) years]. The changes in total symptom score (total system score, TSS), nasal symptom score (total nasal symptom score, TNSS), eye symptom score (total ocular scoring system, TOSS), drug score (total medication score, TMS), and quality of life score of the two groups of patients were evaluated before and after treatment, and the adverse reactions of all patients during the treatment period were recorded. The changes in the level of dust mite specific IgE (sIgE) in the serum were evaluated. GraphPad Prism 9.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:In the SCIT group, 38 patients completed treatment and follow-up, with a dropout rate of 24%. In the ICLIT group, 48 patients completed treatment and follow-up, with a dropout rate of only 4%. The scores of TSS, TNSS, TOSS, TMS, and quality of life in the ICLIT group before treatment were 32.1±3.0, 27.3±3.1, 4.8±2.8, 2.3±0.9, and 68.1±28.7, respectively; After 36 months of treatment, the scores were 21.8±11.4, 18.1±9.4, 3.7±2.9, 1.3±1.1, and 36.0±26.7, respectively, which were significantly lower than those before treatment (all P<0.001). After 36 months of treatment, the TSS of the ICLIT group improved by 10.3±11.2 compared to before, while the TSS of the SCIT group improved significantly by 21.9±11.0 compared to before, with statistically significant differences between the groups ( P<0.001). No serious systemic adverse reactions occurred in both groups of patients. Conclusions:ICLIT treatment for adult AR has long-term efficacy, high safety, and high compliance, but its long-term efficacy is not as good as SCIT. ICLIT can be considered as a new complementary option for AR immunotherapy.

Objective: To detect the expression of serum exosomal miR⁃30d⁃5p in occupational dermatitis medicamentosa⁃like of trichloroethylene(OMDT) patients and its correlation with liver function , then perform bioinformatics analysis and verify the target gene. Methods : Serum exosomes were extracted from 6 OMDT patients and 6 healthy controls , and miRNA was extracted from exosomes which were identified by transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis and western blotting. The expression of serum exosomal miR⁃30d⁃5p was detected by real⁃time fluorescence quantitative PCR , then the correlation with liver function was analyzed. The target genes of miR⁃30d⁃5p were predicted by the miRWalk and miRBD databases. Gene ontology analysis and KEGG pathways analysis were performed. Finally , RHOB was verified by Dual⁃luciferase reporter assay. Results: The expression of serum exosomal miR⁃30d⁃5p significantly decreased in 6 OMDT patients at the peak of the disease(P < 0. 05) , and it was negatively correlated with the level of AST , ALT and GGT (correlation coefficient : rs = - 0. 943 ,P = 0. 005 ;rs = - 0. 886 , P = 0. 019 ; rs = - 0. 886 , P = 0. 019 ) . Bioinformatics analysis and dual⁃luciferase reporter assay showed that RHOB was the target gene of miR⁃30d⁃5p. Conclusion The expression of serum exosomal miR⁃30d-5p decreases in OMDT patients , which is negatively correlated with the level of liver function , and the target gene RHOB may be involved in the process of liver injury induced by trichloroethylene.

Objective To explore the effects of lung rehabilitation using Spiro-tiger training apparatus on the respiratory mechanics and airway remodeling in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)in stable stage.Methods Ninety-three stable COPD patients admitted to Nanxiang Branch of Shanghai Ruijin Hospital were randomly divided into control group(46 cases)and observation group(47 cases).Control group was treated with the training for pursed lips breathing and abdominal breathing,and observation group was trained with Spiro-tiger training apparatus in addition to the treatment given to control group.Both groups were intervened continuously for 9 weeks.The two groups were compared in terms of respiratory mechanics(respiratory frequency,tidal volume,minute ventilation,and peak respiratory pressure),airway remodeling[matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),and transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)],and lung function[forced vital capacity(FVC),forced expiratory volume in the first second(FEV1),and FEV1/FVC],blood gas analysis indexes[arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2),arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO2)],6-minute walking distance(6MWD)and health status[Borg scale and St.George's respiratory questionnaire(SGRQ)].The patients were followed up for 6 months,and the incidence of acute exacerbation of COPD was recorded.Results After 9 weeks of intervention,compared with control group,observation group had lower peak respiratory frequency and respiratory pressure,and higher tidal volume(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in minute ventilation between two groups(P>0.05).The levels of MMP-9,VEGF,TGF-β1 and PaCO2 were lower,and FVC,FEV1,FEV1/FVC and PaO2 were higher in observation group than in control group(P<0.05).Observation group had longer 6MWD,and lower Borg score and SGRQ score as compared with control group(P<0.05).After 6-month follow-up,the incidence of COPD acute exacerbation in observation group was lower than that in control group(4.26%vs19.57%,P<0.05).Conclusion Lung rehabilitation using Spiro-tiger training apparatus can effectively improve respiratory mechanics,lung function,blood gas analysis indexes and health status in stable COPD patients,alleviate airway remodeling,and avoid acute exacerbation of COPD.
