ObjectiveTo investigate the clinicopathological features， molecular profile， treatment response， and prognosis of SMARCA4 （BRG-1） and SMARCB1 （INI-1）-deficient undifferentiated tumors of the digestive system， aiming to enhance the understanding of this rare and highly aggressive molecular subtype. MethodsThis study is a single-center retrospective analysis. We included 9 cases of malignant digestive system tumors with loss of BRG-1 expression and 3 cases with loss of INI-1 expression， all pathologically confirmed at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between April 2022 and December 2025. By reviewing clinical data， histological morphology，immunohistochemistry and next-generation sequencing （NGS） results from partial cases， we systematically summarized their clinicopathological and molecular characteristics， treatment strategies， and survival outcomes. Results​ Among the 12 patients， 6 were male and 6 were female， with a median age of 62 （44-70） years. 9 cases exhibited SMARCA4 deficiency， and 3 cases exhibited SMARCB1 deficiency. Tumors originated in the stomach （5 cases）， colon （3 cases）， pancreas （1 case）， with the primary site unknown in 3 cases. The histology predominantly showed undifferentiated carcinoma， with 1 case of poorly differentiated carcinoma. The tumor cells were epithelioid with significant atypia. Epithelial markers （e.g. CKpan） were often lost or markedly decreased， while vimentin could be positive. All 9 cases tested for MMR status were mismatch repair proficient （pMMR）， and the Ki-67 proliferation index was high ［median 80% （60%-90%）］. A discordance was observed between IHC findings and NGS results in the 6 sequenced cases. The NGS profiling revealed frequent co-occurring mutations， including TP53， KRAS， and NRAS， with no germline mutations identified.The median follow-up time was 277 （55-867） days. 9 of the 12 patients presented with stage Ⅳ disease at the time of initial diagnosis. Among 3 newly diagnosed patients without metastasis who received treatment， 2 achieved prolonged recurrence-free survival. Patients with advanced disease at initial diagnosis primarily underwent platinum-based chemotherapy or combination regimens， yet their prognosis was generally poor， with a median overall survival of 60 （45-541） days， ranging from 16 to 867 days. Notably， several patients who received chemotherapy combined with targeted therapy and immunotherapy achieved extended survival. ConclusionSMARCA4/SMARCB1-deficient undifferentiated tumor of the digestive system is a distinct molecular subtype characterized by high aggressiveness and poor prognosis， predominantly affecting middle-aged and elderly individuals. Diagnosis relies on the immunohistochemical loss of BRG-1 or INI-1 proteins. While no standard of care currently exists， treatment often refers to regimens for adenocarcinoma of the primary site. Combined immunotherapy and targeted therapy may offer potential benefits， warranting further validation in large-scale prospective studies.

Objective:To evaluate the predictive value of simplified geriatric assessment (sGA) in elderly Chinese patients diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) .Methods:It retrospectively analyzed the relationships of sGA with the clinical characteristics, outcome, and prognosis of 219 patients aged ≥60 years who were newly diagnosed with DLBCL at six hospitals in Jiangsu province between January 2018 and December 2022.Results:The median age of 219 patients was 68 years (60-87 years). According to the sGA system criteria, 101 (46.1%), 103 (47.0%), and 15 (6.8%) elderly patients with DLBCL were categorized as fit, unfit, and frail, respectively. The most common adverse reactions after chemotherapy were hematologic, and the incidence of grade >2 hematologic adverse reactions was similar among the three groups (47.5% vs 41.7% vs 46.7%, respectively; χ2=0.712, P=0.700). Compared with the fit and unfit groups, the frail group showed tendencies toward for higher proportions of grade >2 gastrointestinal, pulmonary, and infectious adverse reactions ( P>0.05 for all). The fit, unfit, and frail groups had respective remission rates of 74.3%, 46.6%, and 20.0% ( χ2=25.249, P<0.001) ; disease progression rates of 5.9%, 11.7%, and 26.7% ( χ2=6.763, P<0.05) ; 2-year overall survival rates of 92.1% (95% CI 86.6% to 97.9%), 77.6% (95% CI 69.5% to 86.6%), and 70.1% (95% CI 49.4% to 99.6%) ( P<0.05) ; and 2-year progression-free survival rates of 76.8% (95% CI 67.0% to 84.8%), 69.7% (95% CI 61.8% to 82.0%), and 65.7% (95% CI 53.3% to 100%) ( P=0.399) . Conclusion:sGA can effectively predict treatment adverse effects and efficacy, disease progression, and long-term survival in elderly DLBCL.

Objective Through a multi-software visual analysis of the literature on the influence of T cells on rheumatoid arthritis(RA)in recent ten years,the research hotspot and frontier development in this field were summarized.Methods The Chinese and English literature on the influence of T cells on RA from 2012 to 2022 years was retrieved from CNKI and Web of Science database as the research object.CiteSpace and VOSviewer software were used to analyze the number of publications,authors and keywords.Results 519 articles in Chinese and 861 in English were retrieved.The results showed that the number of articles in Chinese increased slowly from 2020 to 2022 years,while the overall trend in English was stable.Keyword analysis shows that it is predicted that future research in this field will focus on the pathogenesis of T cells in RA,the mechanism of bone destruction in RA,disease activity,oxidative stress.Conclusion The influence of T cells on RA has attracted much attention in the past,present and future,and has great research value.However,due to the differences in research priorities at home and abroad,the teams should interact positively and communicate with each other to reveal the internal mechanism of RA and provide theoretical basis for targeted therapy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plain scan and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in the diagnosis of brain metastases.Methods:The MRI plain imaging findings of 105 cases with brain metastases and 103 cases without brain metastases confirmed by enhanced MRI examination and clinical diagnosis were retrospectively analyzed. The comparisons of plain MRI findings including T1 weighted image (T1WI), T2WI, T2/fluid attenuated inversion recovery (T2/FLAIR), DWI and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were made between brain metastases and non-brain metastases.Results:The numbers of hypo-intensity, iso-intensity, hyper-intensity and heterogeneous signal intensity of T1WI in the brain metastatic group were 54, 23, 9 and 19, respectively, while the numbers of hypo-intensity and iso-intensity in the non-brain metastatic group were 52 and 51, respectively, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.001). The numbers of hypo-intensity, iso-intensity, hyper-intensity and heterogeneous signal intensity of T2WI in the brain metastatic group were 1, 9, 72 and 23, respectively, while the numbers of iso-intensity and hyper-intensity in the non-brain metastatic group were 11 and 92, respectively, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.001). The numbers of hypo-intensity, hyper-intensity and heterogeneous signal intensity of DWI in the brain metastatic group were 4, 31 and 65, respectively, while the number of hyper-intensity in the non-brain metastatic group was 4 and others were iso-intensity, respectively, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.001). The numbers of hypo-intensity, iso-intensity, hyper-intensity and heterogeneous signal intensity of T2WI/FLAIR in the brain metastatic group were 4, 5, 60 and 36, respectively, while all cases in the non-brain metastatic group were hyper-intensity, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.001). The number of lesion accompanied with peripheral edema in the brain metastatic group were 69 cases, significantly higher than 0 cases in the non-brain metastatic group ( P<0.001). The mean ADC value in the brain metastatic group were (0.919±0.019)×10 -3 mm 2/s, significantly lower than (1.098±0.012)×10 -3 mm 2/s of non-brain metastatic group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:For patients with a history of primary malignancy, the MRI plain scan signals of T1WI, T2WI, T2WI/FLAIR and DWI are significantly different between brain metastatic tumor and non-metastatic tumor. The mixed signal, peripheral edema and the restriction of DWI diffusion indicate brain metastases. The combined application of the above parameters can improve the diagnostic efficacy of predicting brain metastases, and contrast enhancement MRI examination should be performed for the confirmation of diagnosis.

Objective To study epidemic of schistosomiasis in the Qiandao Lake reservoir area,and to provide a reference for prevention and control of schistosomiasis in the construction of large water conservancy projects in the epidemic area of schistosomiasis.Methods The data over the years of snail condition and monitoring of schistosomiasis before and after building the dam,and water conservancy project reconstruction related information were collected.Based on the survey results of the river channel,the lake beach and the dissipation zone in the reservoir area,the influence of Xin'an River water conservancy project on epidemic of schistosomiasis in the Qiandao Lake reservoir area was analyzed,and the epidemic factors of the schistosomiasis in the Three Gorges reservoir were compared and analyzed.Results Before the dam was built,an area of 38 144 000 m2 was examined but Oncomelania was undetected.The Qiandao Lake reservoir area belonged to a non epidemic area of schistosomiasis.After the dam was built,557 cases of schistosomiasis were found in 6 232 immigrants during 1962-1965,resulting in an imported epidemic.In 1970-1980,an area of 379 654 m2 in which Oncomelania was found was examined and snails were mainly distributed in some rice fields and ditches in the end of the reservoir.949 cases of local schistosomiasis were found in the snails.The condition and condition of the snail are gradually controlled through several decades of comprehensive prevention and control.Compared with the epidemic factors of schistosomiasis in Qiandao Lake and the Three Gorges reservoir,the environment of elevation beach and ecologically fragile fluctuation zone coexist in the two reservoir areas.Conclusion From the long-term longitudinal monitoring data of the Qiandao Lake reservoir area and the epidemic regularity of schistosomiasis and the comparison with the ecology of the Three Gorges reservoir,it is concluded that the two reservoir areas will not cause a large range of schistosomiasis epidemic in general,but it does not exclude the possibility of the breeding of the inputting Oncomelania.

Objective To investigate the association of tumor necrosis factor-ot (TNF-α) gene promoter polymorphisms with generalized pustular psoriasis.Methods Totally,91 patients of Han nationality with generalized pustular psoriasis (generalized pustular psoriasis group) and 102 health checkup examinees (healthy control group) were enrolled into this study.PCR and direct sequencing were performed to analyze the-238,-308 and-857 polymorphic sites of the TNF-α promoter.Results The frequency of the A allele at TNF-α-238 site was significantly higher in the generalized pustular psoriasis group than in the healthy control group (P =0.003,OR =4.819,95％ CI:1.581-14.694),so was the frequency of GA/AA genotype (P =0.006,OR =4.455,95％ CI:1.410-14.077).However,no significant differences were observed in the frequencies of G/A alleles (P =0.794) and GG/GA/AA genotypes (P =0.786) at TNF-o-308 site,or in the frequencies of C/T alleles (P =0.474) and CC/CT/TT genotypes (P =0.453) at TNF-α-857 site,between the generalized pustular psoriasis group and healthy control group.Conclusion TNF-α-238G ＞ A polymorphisms may be associated with the occur-rence of generalized pustular psoriasis.
