Objective:To investigate the diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and aeromedical assessment of nasopharyngeal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in civil aviation pilots.Methods:The clinical data of a civil pilot with nasopharyngeal NHL was retrospectively analyzed while related literature was reviewed. The clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and identification of nasopharyngeal NHL were traced.Results:A civil pilot was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal NHL in January 2016 before being grounded by aviation physicians. After treatment with systematic chemoradiation and chemotherapy by the Department of Oncology, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, the patient′s results of blood routine tests, blood biochemistry, EB virus DNA detection, electrical audiometry, and sound immittance returned to normal as evidenced by multiple outpatient examinations between June 2016 and April 2017. No signs of malignant tumor were found by fiber nasopharyngoscopy, nasopharyngeal MRI or positron emission tomography/computed tomography. In June 2017, he applied for specially-permitted assessment for the first time, and the aeromedical assessment conclusion was waiver to flight, but his flight was limited to 60 h or less. The pilot was able to perform flight duties ever since. EB virus DNA detection, nasopharyngeal MRI, fiber nasopharyngoscopy and other related examinations were repeated in each physical examination, and the pilot was given specially-permitted eligibility for fight missions annually for 6 consecutive years, but the monthly flying hours was limited to 60 h or less. So far, the disease neither recurred nor progressed.Conclusions:Nasopharyngeal NHL is rare in civil aviation pilots, so missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis should be avoided. Patients with nasopharyngeal NHL who have recovered after treatment may apply for specially-permitted health assessment and resume their work after comprehensive assessment by related experts.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and genetic variant in a child with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs).Methods:Clinical data of a child who had presented at Xiaogan Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University of Science and Technology in December 2020 due to intermittent convulsions for over a year were retrospectively analyzed. Peripheral blood samples of the child and his parents were collected and subjected to whole exome sequencing. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. " HNRNPU gene", "epilepsy", "epileptic encephalopathy", "hereditary epilepsy", "neurodevelopmental disorder", "neurodevelopmental syndrome", " HNRNPU", and "NDDs" were used as the key words to search the CNKI, Wanfang and PubMed databases dated from January 1, 1994 to February 10, 2022. Results:The patient was a 2-year-old boy who had developed seizure at the age of 5 months. His clinical features had included abnormal appearance, recurrent seizures, and low developmental quotients of each functional area as evaluated by the Gesell scale. The child was given sodium valproate for the antiepileptic treatment and rehabilitation training. He had become seizure-free within half a year of follow-up, but his intelligence and motor development did not improve significantly. Genetic testing revealed that he has harbored a heterozygous c. 1720_1722delCTT (p.Lys574del) variant of the HNRNPU gene, which was not found in either of his parents. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the variant was rated as likely pathogenic (PS2+ PM2_Supporting+ PM4). A total of 13 articles were retrieved, and the types of HNRNPU gene mutations have included splice site mutation, nonsense mutation, missense mutation, in-frame deletion, gene duplication, frameshifting mutation, and multiple exon deletion. The main clinical manifestations have included mental retardation, language delay, global developmental delay, epilepsy, craniofacial deformity, mental and behavioral abnormalities. Conclusion:The c. 1720_1722delCTT variant of the HNRNPU gene probably underlay the NDDs in this child. Above finding has enriched the mutational spectrum of the HNRNPU gene.

Objective:To explore the psychological experience and demand of parents of children with delayed recovery after congenital heart disease surgery.Methods:This study adopted phenomenological research methods from qualitative research. Using the purposive sampling method, parents of postoperative delayed recovery children with congenital heart disease who met the inclusion criteria were selected as the research objects from October to November 2019 at Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the parents of the children, and the data were analyzed by Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results:Finally, 13 parents of children with delayed recovery after congenital heart disease surgery were included. According to the interview results, four themes were extracted, which were negative psychological experience of parents of children with delayed recovery, positive psychological experience and expectation change of parents, heavy economic burden of parents and diversified needs of parents.Conclusions:During the delayed recovery period, psychological experience of parents is complex and their needs are diverse. The nursing staff should identify and pay attention to the causes of the negative psychological experience of the parents of the children, timely channel their negative emotions and strengthen the positive psychological experience in many aspects. They can assist parents to seek social help to reduce physical and mental pressure and meet the diverse needs of parents by providing high-quality nursing services and multi-channel information support.
