Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognosis of adult large B-cell lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement(LBCL-IRF4r).Methods Clinical data of 63 adult LBCL-IRF4r cases were collected.The EnVision two-step method was employed for immunohistochemical staining,and fluorescence in situ hybridization was used to detect rearrangements or deletions of the IRF4,BCL2,MYC,BCL6,and TP53 genes.The relationship be-tween clinicopathological features and prognosis was analyzed and compared with data from 132 adult non-specified dif-fuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)cases.Results Among the 63 adult LBCL-IRF4r patients,the male to female ratio was 1.1∶1,with a median age of 54.0 years(range 20-84 years),and 14 cases(22.2％)were＜40 years old,24 cases(38.1％)were between 40 and 60 years old,and 25 cases(39.7％)were＞60 years old.18 cases(28.6％)were involved in Waldeyer's ring,along with 8 cases(12.7％)in cervical lymph nodes,7 cases(11.1％)in other lymph nodes and lymphatic organs,13 cases(20.6％)in stomach,4 cases(6.4％)in intestine,and 13 cases(20.6％)in other extranodal sites.63 cases showed IRF4 rearrangements,with no BCL2 and MYC translocations(0/58),30.9％(17/55)had BCL6 translocations,and 16.3％(8/49)had TP53 deletions.59 pa-tients were followed up for a median of 28 months(range 1-65 months).48 patients(81.4％)achieved complete re-sponse,10 patients(16.9％)experienced disease progression or relapse,and 3 patients(5.1％)died.Univariate a-nalysis showed that lactate dehydrogenase level,Ann Arbor stage,international prognostic index(IPI)score,growth pattern,Hans classification,and double expression of BCL2 and C-MYC were significantly associated with progression-free survival.Age,Ann Arbor stage,and IPI score were significantly associated with overall survival.Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that double expression of BCL2 and C-MYC was an independent prognostic factor for pro-gression-free survival.Adult LBCL-IRF4r had significantly higher complete response rate and progression-free survival than adult DLBCL.Conclusion LBCL-IRF4r occurs in adults of all age groups,commonly affecting Waldeyer's ring,cervical lymph nodes,and gastrointestinal tract,and has a favorable clinical prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of loganin(Log)on glutamine metabolism in cervical cancer through the regula-tion of nuclear factor red blood cell 2 related factor 2(NFE2L2)-ferritin heavy chain 1(FTH1)-glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4).Methods Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to identify common targets of Log,glutamine metabolism,and cervical cancer.Hela cells were divided into Blank,control(Ctrl),Log,cisplatin(DDP),NFE2L2 activator(TBHQ),NFE2L2 inhibitor(ML385),and TBHQ+Log groups to detect cell proliferation,invasion,apoptosis,glutamine metabolism,and the protein expression of NFE2L2,FTH1,and GPX4.A cervical cancer xenograft mouse model was established to investigate the in vivo effects of Log on the progression of cervical cancer.Results Bioinformatics analysis confirmed that NFE2L2 might be a target of Log in the treatment of cervical cancer.Both Log and DDP reduced the proliferation and invasion abilities of Hela cells,increased apoptosis,and decreased the levels of glutamine and glutamic acid,as well as the protein expression of glutaminase(GLS1)and glutamic dehydrogenase(GLUD1,P<0.05).The NFE2L2 activator TBHQ had opposite effects,whereas ML385 had a similar impact on the Log.Additionally,Log treatment inhibited the protein expression of NFE2L2,FTH1,and GPX4(P<0.05).Animal experiments showed that Log significantly inhibited cervical cancer progression(P<0.05).Conclusion Log affects cervical cancer progression via glutamine metabolism by inhibiting the NFE2L2-FTH1-GPX4 signaling pathway.

To explore the application of sequential analysis in post-market safety dynamic surveillance of vaccines. Under the dynamic monitoring data of vaccines post-market approval, this research introduces the fundamental principles of maximizing sequential probability ratio test (MaxSPRT) and Bayesian sequential analysis, employing R software. Through an example of dynamic safety monitoring data of vaccines post-market approval, we analyze using the MaxSPRT and Bayesian sequential analysis. The MaxSPRT identified a safety signal in week 4 ( P<0.05), while Bayesian sequential analysis indicated that the 95% highest density interval for the RR value at week 4 is 1.13-3.27, suggesting the first appearance of a safety signal at week 4. The MaxSPRT and Bayesian sequential analysis effectively leverage continuously accumulating dynamic monitoring data, thereby serving as a valuable method for post-market safety surveillance of vaccines.
