Objective:To compare the consistency of lymphoma multigene detection panels based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) with FISH detection of B-cell lymphoma gene rearrangement.Methods:From January 2019 to May 2023, fusion genes detected by lymphoma-related 413 genes that targeted capture sequencing of 489 B-cell lymphoma tissues embedded in paraffin were collected from Henan Cancer Hospital, and the results were compared with simultaneous FISH detection of four break/fusion genes: BCL2, BCL6, MYC, and CCND1. Consistency was defined as both methods yielding positive or negative results for the same sample. The relationship between fusion mutation abundance in NGS and the positivity rate of cells in FISH was also analyzed.Results:Kappa consistency analysis revealed high consistency between NGS and FISH in detecting the four B-cell lymphoma-related gene rearrangement ( P<0.001 for all) ; however, the detection rates of positive individuals differed for the four genes. Compared with FISH, NGS demonstrated a higher detection rate for BCL2 rearrangement, a lower detection rate for BCL6 and MYC rearrangement, and a similar detection rate for CCND1 rearrangement. No correlation was found between fusion mutation abundance in NGS and the positivity rate of cells in FISH. Conclusions:NGS and FISH detection of B-cell lymphoma gene rearrangement demonstrate overall good consistency. NGS is superior to FISH in detecting BCL2 rearrangement, inferior in detecting MYC rearrangement, and comparable in detecting CCND1 rearrangement.

ObjectiveTo explore the related factors of troublemaking behaviors among patients with mental disorders induced by amphetamine-type stimulants （ATS）， and to provide references for the formulation of relevant intervention measures for ATS-induced mental disorders. MethodsA total of 105 patients who met the diagnostic criteria of International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10） for ATS-induced mental disorders were included， and classified into troublemaking group and non-troublemaking group. The general demographic data and clinical data of the selected individuals were collected， and all patients were assessed using Social Support Rating Scale （SSRS）. Then univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression model were used to screen the related factors of troublemaking behaviors. ResultsThe scores of SSRS， objective support dimension and social support utilization dimension were significantly lower in troublemaking group than those in non-troublemaking group， with statistical differences ［（24.10±6.59） vs. （28.94±5.59）， t=3.364， P=0.001； （5.50±1.96） vs. （8.20±2.13）， t=5.183， P<0.01； （4.60±2.26） vs. （6.28±1.90）， t=3.435， P=0.001］. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that male （OR=6.061， P=0.014） was a risk factor， while high social support level （OR=0.873， P=0.018） was the protective factor for troublemaking behaviors among patients with ATS-induced mental disorders. ConclusionPatients with ATS-induced mental disorders of the males and with low social support level are at high risk of troublemaking behaviors.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of lymph node size and distribution in ipsilateral central lymph node metastasis (ICLNM) of single papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in CT examination.Method The CT data of 278 single PTC with diameter ＞ 1.0 cm confirmed by operation and pathology were retrospectively analyzed.According to the ipsilateral central lymph node diameter,these cases were divided into ＜ 0.2 cm group,0.2-0.4 cm group and ≥0.4 cm group,and the distribution difference of ICLNM positive and negative between the three groups were analyzed.Then according to the lymph node distribution,0.2 to 0.4 cm group were divided into turbidity group (≥ 3) and non-turbidity group (1-2),and ≥0.4 cm group were divided into cluster group (≥ 3) and non-cluster group (1-2).The differences betweeen turbidity group and non-turbidity group,cluster group and non-cluster group were analyzed.Results In 278 PTC,the proportion of ICLNM positive and negative was 65.8％(183/278) and 34.2％(95/278),respectively.ICLNM positive in ＜0.2 cm group,0.2-0.4 cm group and ≥0.4 cm group accounted for 37.3％ (31/83),68％ (66/97) and 87.8％ (86/98),respectively.x2 value and P value in between groups and within groups were 51.082 and 0,16.956 and 0,49.955 and 0,11.022 and 0.001,respectively.ICLNM positive in turbidity group and non-turbidity group accounted for 74.0％ (57/77) and 45％ (9/20),respectively.x2 value and P value were 6.151 and 0.013,respectively.ICLNM positive in cluster group and and non-cluster group accounted for 92.6％(50/54) and 82％(36/44),respectively.x2 value and P value were 2.619 and 0.106,respectively.Conclusions Among CT examination of patients with PTC,with the increase of the diameter and number of lymph nodes in central group,the positive proportion of ICLNM positive increases.For the 0.2-0.4 cm group,the turbidity phenomenon suggests that the possibility of metastasis is greater.The accurate identification of these signs can help surgeons take a more thorough surgical treatment and have great significance to reduce postoperative recurrence.

OBJECTIVETo detect mutations of ATP2A2 gene in a pedigree and a sporadic case with Darier disease (DD) and explore the underlying molecular mechanism.

METHODSClinical data of the pedigree and the sporadic case were collected. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples of four members from the pedigree (including three patients and one healthy member), the sporadic case and 100 healthy controls. PCR was performed to amplify all coding exons of the ATP2A2 gene. And the products were directly sequenced to detect mutations.

RESULTSA missense mutation c.1484C>T (p.S495L) in exon 12 was detected in all patients of the pedigree. For the sporadic case, a novel splicing mutation c.325-2A>G was detected at the junction between intron 4 and exon 5. The same mutations were not found in the 100 healthy controls.

CONCLUSIONMutations of the ATP2A2 gene may lead to the occurrence of DD in both familial and sporadic cases with DD.

Objective To observe the molecular mechanism of adaptive response of the kidney and skeleton and brain issues in the high altitude hypoxia; To discuss the unity of yin and yang oscillation relationship of kidney and brain marrow.Methods SPF KM mice were randomly divided into control group and model group according to random number table method. Mice in the model group were exposed to high altitude hypoxia cabin for successive 21 d. On the 22nd day, mice got out of the cabin and their body weight was measured, and then they were put to death through eyeball blood sampling. The activities of lactic LDH and Na+-K+-ATPase in brain tissue were detected by spectrophotometric colorimetry. The PFK activities of brain and skeletal muscle were detected by ELISA. Meanwhile the contents of EPO and EPOR in the kidney were measured by ELISA. The mRNA expressions of HIF-1α and AQP-4 in brain were assessed by RT-PCR. At the same time, the protein expressions of HIF-1α and AQP-1 in brain and the protein expression of Mb in skeletal muscle were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the normal group, the LDH and PFK in brain tissue and the content of EPO in kidney tissue were all raised in the model group(P<0.05). Meanwhile the mRNA expressions of HIF-1α and AQP-4 and the protein expressions of HIF-1α and AQP-1 in brain were all increased in the mice from the model group; the activities of PFK and the protein expression of Mb in skeletal muscle were also raised in the model group. But the activity of Na+-K+-ATPase in brain tissue and the content of EPOR in kidney tissue both decreased in the model group (P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Adaptive response and the unity of yin and yang oscillation relationship between kidney, skeleton and brain tissue happen in high altitude hypoxia.
