Purpose: The risk stratification of pediatric anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) has not been standardized. In this study, new risk factors were included to establish a new risk stratification system for ALCL, and its feasibility in clinical practice was explored. Materials and Methods: On the basis of the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma Berlin–Frankfurt–Munster 95 (NHL-BFM-95) protocol, patients with minimal disseminated disease (MDD), high-risk tumor site (multiple bone, skin, liver, and lung involvement), and small cell/lymphohistiocytic (SC/LH) pathological subtype were enrolled in risk stratification. Patients were treated with a modified NHL-BFM-95 protocol combined with an anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitor or vinblastine (VBL). Results: A total of 136 patients were enrolled in this study. The median age was 8.8 years. The 3-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival of the entire cohort were 77.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 69.0% to 83.9%) and 92.3% (95% CI, 86.1% to 95.8%), respectively. The 3-year EFS rates of low-risk group (R1), intermediate-risk group (R2), and high-risk group (R3) patients were 100%, 89.5% (95% CI, 76.5% to 95.5%), and 67.9% (95% CI, 55.4% to 77.6%), respectively. The prognosis of patients with MDD (+), stage IV cancer, SC/LH lymphoma, and high-risk sites was poor, and the 3-year EFS rates were 45.3% (95% CI, 68.6% to 19.0%), 65.7% (95% CI, 47.6% to 78.9%), 55.7% (95% CI, 26.2% to 77.5%), and 70.7% (95% CI, 48.6% to 84.6%), respectively. At the end of follow-up, one of the five patients who received maintenance therapy with VBL relapsed, and seven patients receiving anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitor maintenance therapy did not experience relapse. Conclusion This study has confirmed the poor prognostic of MDD (+), high-risk site and SC/LH, but patients with SC/LH lymphoma and MDD (+) at diagnosis still need to receive better treatment (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT03971305).

Objective:To explore the feasibility of smart phone real-time picture exchange-assisted telecytopathology for rapid on-site evaluation (tele-ROSE), and the role of tele-ROSE in improving the diagnostic efficiency of endoscopic physicians.Methods:Data of patients who underwent endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) from April 2020 to May 2021 in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University were retrospectively collected. Patients who didn't receive ROSE from April 2020 to October 2020 were enrolled in the non-ROSE group, and those who underwent ROSE from November 2020 to May 2021 were enrolled in the ROSE group, of which endosonographers used WeChat on the smartphone to send ROSE images to cytopathologists from November 2020 to March 2021 were the mobile phone group, and those whose ROSE results independently diagnosed by trained endosonographers from April 2021 to May 2021 were the self-ROSE group. Basic information, ROSE results, postoperative pathology and follow-up were compared, and the diagnostic effectiveness of tele-ROSE was analyzed.Results:A total of 188 cases were included, of which 179 cases (95.2%) were solid pancreatic lesions and 9 (4.8%) were enterocoelia lesions. There was no significant difference in the puncture time among the non-ROSE, mobile phone and self-ROSE groups [3 (3, 4) VS 3 (3, 4) VS 3 (2, 4), H=1.320, P=0.517]. With the final diagnosis as the golden standard, the sensitivity, the specificity, the accuracy, the positive predictive value, the negative predictive value and Kappa value of the non-ROSE group were 80.6% (58/72), 89.5% (17/19), 82.4% (75/91), 96.7% (58/60), 54.8% (17/31), and 0.6 respectively. The corresponding indices in the ROSE group were 97.4% (74/76), 100.0% (21/21), 97.9% (95/97), 100.0% (74/74), 91.3% (21/23), and 0.9 respectively, those of the mobile phone group were 95.2% (40/42), 100.0% (10/10), 96.2% (50/52), 100.0% (40/40), 83.3% (10/12), and 0.9 respcetively, and those of the self-ROSE group were 100.0% (34/34), 100.0% (11/11), 100.0% (45/45), 100.0% (34/34), 100.0% (11/11), and 1.0 respectively. The sensitivity ( P=0.002), the accuracy ( P=0.001) and the negative predictive value ( P=0.009) of the ROSE group were significantly higher than those of the non-ROSE group, and there was no significant difference in other diagnostic efficacy indices ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the mobile phone group and the self-ROSE group in diagnostic efficacy ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Instant smartphone-assisted tele-ROSE through WeChat can well meet the needs of pathologists and endoscopic physicians. After the application of tele-ROSE training, the diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic physicians is equivalent to that of cytopathologist, which helps to obtain more sufficient specimens under endoscopy and improve the diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA.

Objective:To observe the effect of combining scalp acupuncture with hyperbaric oxygen on serum homocysteine and highly-sensitive c-reactive protein levels and functional recovery after cerebral infarction.Methods:A total of 101 survivors of cerebral infarction were divided randomly into a scalp acupuncture group ( n=33), a hyperbaric oxygen group ( n=34) and a combined treatment group ( n=34). All received routine treatment plus the appropriate supplementary treatment once a day for 10 days. The subjects were evaluated before the experiment as well as 10 and 90 days afterward. The National Institutes of Health′s stroke scale (NIHSS) was used to quantify neurological deficits and the Barthel Index quantified ability in the activities of daily living. Ninety days after the treatment, modified Rankin scale scores were also assigned. The levels of serum homocysteine (Hcy) and highly-sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) before and after 10 days of treatment were also compared among the 3 groups. Results:The average NIHSS and Barthel Index scores of all three groups had improved significantly after 10 days of treatment and the improvements persisted at the follow-up 3 months later. Both results were significantly better in the combined treatment group than in the scalp acupuncture group at the 90-day follow-up evaluation. The average Rankin score of the combined treatment group was lower at the last follow-up. Compared with before the intervention, the average Hcy of the scalp acupuncture group, the average hs-CRP of the hyperbaric oxygen group, as well as the average Hcy and hs-CRP of the combined treatment group were significantly lower after 10 days of treatment. Compared with the scalp acupuncture group, the average Hcy [(11.68±2.6) μmol/L] of the combined treatment group was significantly lower after the 10 days of treatment.Conclusions:Supplementing scalp acupuncture with hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves the long-term outcomes of cerebral infarction, reducing the level of serum Hcy.

Objective:To analyze whether the application of growth hormone (GH) in the frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycle can improve the pregnancy outcome of patients.Methods:The retrospective cohort study including 1042 FET cycles was carried out between January 2015 to July 2018 in Reproductive Medicine Center,the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University. According to medication before transfer, all patients were divided into GH group (group A ) and no GH group (group B). The pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups in aged patients (≥35 years), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients and repeated implantation failure (RIF) patients.Results:In group A, the maternal age [(31.1±4.5) years old] and the clinical pregnancy rate [67.1% (114/170)] were higher than those in group B [(30.1±4.4) years old, 57.5% (501/872)]( P=0.010, P=0.020). There were no significant differences in the implantation rate, the clinical pregnancy rate, the abortion rate and the live birth rate between group A and group B in aged patients (all P>0.05). In PCOS patients, the live birth rate in group A [65.8% (25/38)] was significantly higher than that in group B [42.3% (96/227)] ( P=0.007). In the RIF patients, the implantation rate [37.3% (57/153)], the clinical pregnancy rate [50.5% (46/91)] and the live birth rate [37.4% (34/91)] in group A were significantly higher than those in group B [23.0% (115/501), 29.1% (92/316), 21.8% (69/316)] ( P<0.001, P<0.001, P=0.003). Conclusion:For the aged patients, adding GH could not improve pregnancy outcomes. The application of GH in PCOS patients could increase the live birth rate. For the RIF patients, the application of GH could increase the implantation rate, the clinical pregnancy rate and the live birth rate.

Under optimized extraction conditions，the extraction rates of the four anti- AIDS drugs were all over 85.0%，which was pretty close to the predicted result. The extracted samples were analyzed under the optimal chromatographic conditions. The recovery rate was over 75.0% and RSD was less than 5.0%. The optimized chromatographic conditions were as follows：Ze month- CN（250 × 4.6 mm，5 micron）as stationary phase，mobile phase （methanol：acetonitrile：ammonium acetate buffer）（5∶5∶90），column temperature 35 ℃，detection wavelength 275 nm，flow rate 0.5 mL/min.【Conclusion】The developed method of CPE combined with HILIC can enrich four anti-AIDS drugs in rat serum ，which is simple，environment- friendly and can be used to accurately determine the blood concentration of four anti-AIDS drugs in rat serum，providing a new method for clinical blood concentration monitoring.

Objective:To develop intelligent quality-control system (IQCS) based on deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN), and to prospectively evaluate the clinical feasibility of this system.Methods:Aimed at quality control objectives during gastroscopy such as the observation integrity of gastric mucosal, gastric mucosa visibility, time spent on gastroendoscopy and suspicious gastric cancer detection, four DCNN models including gastroscopic scanning location recognition model, gastric mucosa visibility recognition model, in vivo and in vitro identification model and gastric cancer detection model were designed. A total of 98 385 white light gastroscopy images were retrospectively collected from multiple centers for training and testing the DCNN models. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of each model were calculated and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn. The models were integrated and formed the multi-function integrated IQCS. At the center of gastroendoscopy, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, 100 consecutive patients who underwent routine gastroscopy were prospectively enrolled. The feasibility of IQCS in real clinical practice was evaluated. The condition of each quality control function of the system (average error point out or correct rate) and the detection of lesions after the examination were recorded. Results:The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the model of gastroscopic scanning location recognition to identify each site were 98.40% to 99.85%, 61.95% to 100.00% and 98.65% to 100.00%, respectively; the area under curve (AUC) of ROC curve ranged from 0.997 6 to 1.000 0. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the model of gastric mucosa visibility recognition to identity the mucosal visibility were 97.02% to 98.27%, 85.14% to 99.28% and 93.72% to 100.00%, respectively. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the model of in vivo and in vitro identification were 97.27%, 99.85% and 94.50%, respectively; the AUC of ROC was 0.961 5. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the model of gastric cancer detection were 95.92%, 95.64% and 96.05%, respectively; the AUC of ROC was 0.975 9. The results of feasibility evaluation of IQCS indicated that in the quality control of gastric mucosa observation integrity, the system average error was 0.32 time/case; in the quality control of mucosal visibility, the system average error was 0.47 time/case; the correct rate of intelligent timing during gastroscopy was 96.00%, in the quality control of suspicious gastric cancer detection, the system average error was 0.36 time/case. A total of 3 cases of gastric cancer and 1 case of high grade gastric intraepithelial neoplasia were detected. The system could accurately identify the location. Conclusions:Gastroscopy IQCS can accurately achieve quality control in the observation integrity of gastric mucosa, gastric mucosa visibility, time spent on gastroendoscopy and suspicious gastric cancer detection in actual examination, which makes accurate and efficient gastroscopy quality control possible.
