Objective:To explore the clinical features of immunocompetent primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) and influencing factors for prognosis of immunocompetent patients with PCNSL.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed; 69 immunocompetent patients with PCNSL confirmed by pathology in First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January 2016 to January 2024 were enrolled; initial symptoms, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score, and results of laboratory and pathological examinations in these patients were collected. Patients were divided into biopsy confirmed group ( n=43) and lesion resection confirmed group ( n=26) according to different diagnostic methods; patients were also divided into chemotherapy group ( n=48), chemotherapy+radiotherapy group ( n=9) and surgical resection group ( n=12) according to different treatment methods. Clinical outcomes of these patients in different groups at the end of follow-up were compared, and the influencing factors for short-term prognosis (6 months after treatment) were identified. All patients were followed up for 12.80 (6.00, 36.40) months. The short-term prognosis was evaluated by modified Rankin scale (mRS) 6 months after treatment (mRS scores of 0-2: good prognosis; mRS scores of 3-6: poor prognosis). Overall survival (OS) was recorded at the end of follow-up. Results:Among the 69 immunocompetent patients with PCNSL, 37 were males and 32 were females; median onset age was 59 years, ranged 24-83 years. Focal neurologic deficits of different degrees (34/69, limb weakness, sensory disturbances, ataxia, or eye involvement) were the most common initial symptoms, followed by headache (14/69), dizziness (10/69), cognitive dysfunction (9/69), epilepsy (1/69) and psychiatric disorders (1/69). Forty-five patients underwent cerebrospinal fluid examination: 17 had cerebrospinal fluid pressure≥200 mmH 2O (1 mmH 2O=9.8 Pa); 10 had increased white blood cell count (>10×10 6/L), reaching to (16.5[11.0, 20.0])×10 6/L; 32 had increased protein level, reaching to 758.10 (547.83, 948.13) mg/L. Cerebrospinal fluid cytology was performed in 15 patients, and tumor cells were found in only 1 patient. Cranial MRI showed that intracranial solitary lesions were more common (60.87%, 42/69), and most lesions were at the basal ganglia region (40.58%, 28/69). PET/CT showed a obviously higher metabolism of the lesions (97.06, 33/34), with maximum standardized uptake of 22.9 (13.9, 30.55) g/mL. All patients had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). By the end of follow-up, 28 patients died. Logistic regression analysis showed that ECOG score≥2 ( OR=9.210, 95% CI: 2.558-32.896, P=0.001) and positive MYC ( OR=0.088, 95% CI: 0.008-0.973, P=0.047) were independent risk factors for poor short-term prognosis. Cox proportional hazard regression model analysis showed that ECOG score≥2 ( HR=5.135, 95% CI: 2.230-11.827, P<0.001), positive B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL-6, HR=0.226, 95% CI: 0.079-0.649, P=0.006) and chemotherapy or chemotherapy+radiotherapy ( HR=0.392, 95% CI: 0.157-0.980, P=0.045) were independent prognostic factors for OS. Conclusions:In immunocompetent patients with PCNSL, focal neurological deficits are more common at the onset, and fever is rare. Patients with ECOG score≥2 are more likely to have poor short-term prognosis and short OS. MYC-positive patients will have a better short-term prognosis; BCL-6 positive patients and patients treated with chemotherapy or chemotherapy+radiotherapy will have longer OS.

Objective To evaluate the value of cardiac MRI in the diagnosis of Ebstein anomaly (EA). Methods Twenty patients from February 2014 to April 2017 with EA confirmed by surgery were enrolled into this study. The analysis in all patients was made according to preoperative cardiac MRI, 2D TTE and surgical data, including the changes of tricuspid valve leaflets, Carpentier classification, the size and function of atrioventricle, late Gadolinium enhancement, the total right/left-volume index and cardiopulmonary bypass time,etc.The numbers of apicaldisplaced leaflets and development condition of all the leaflets were compared using the R×C χ2among the three groups.With surgical results as the reference standard, the diagnostic accuracy of the two groups for the development condition of all the leaflets were evaluated. One-way ANOVA was performed to compare the differences of the apicaldisplaced distance of septal leaflet, using these three methods. Comparisons of the total right/left-volume index, surgery-related data between patients with or without late gadolinium enhancement were performed by independent t test.Results (1) The results in anatomicalstructures, such as distance of apicaldisplacedseptal leaflet,displacement of each leaflet and the Carpentier classification, showed nostatistical difference among MRI,2D TTE and operational findings. The leaflet dysplasia defined by MRI and 2D TTE areequivalent to surgically defined severe dysplasia, and surgically defined mild to moderate dysplasia can't be identified by the former two methods. The overall diagnostic accuracy of MRI and 2D TTE to identify leaflet dysplasia were 41.3%(19/46) and 34.7%(16/46), respectively.(2) Functional right ventricular volume index decreased in 1 case, normal in 8 cases, increased in 11 cases;functional right ventricula rejection fraction decreased in 15 cases. Six patients' left ventricular volume index decreased, 13 remained in normal range, 1 showed increased;left ventricula rejection fraction decreased in 14 cases. (3)LGE was identified in 8 patients and non-LGE in 12. Difference of the total right/left-volume index [(7.12 ± 4.06) vs. (3.84 ± 2.10), P=0.029] between two groups was statistically significant. However, there was no statistical difference in extracorporeal circulation time, aorticcross-clamping time, intubation time, ICU residence time and postoperative hospital staybetween the LGE and non-LGE groups.Conclusions Cardiac MRI can relatively accurately evaluate the apicaldisplacement of leaflets and the morphological changes of the atria and ventricles, as well as quantitatively evaluate the ventricular function, which can rovide references for clinical diagnosis and severity evaluation of EA.
