Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and the application of ATRX(alpha-thalassemia mental retardation X-linked)in hepatic angiosarcoma.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the pathological and clinical data of seven patients diagnosed with hepatic angiosarcoma at the Department of Pathology, Beijing Hospital, between 2014 and 2023.ATRX immunohistochemical staining was conducted.Results:Among the patients, six were identified incidentally during physical examinations, while only one patient presented with abdominal pain.Six patients had multiple nodules, whereas one had a solitary tumor.The morphological features were diverse; high-grade angiosarcoma exhibited liver plate atrophy and hepatic sinusoids lined with atypical cells, while low-differentiated angiosarcoma displayed a higher degree of atypia and should be differentiated from other sarcomas.Tumor cells expressed vascular endothelial markers, including CD31(platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1), CD34(hematopoietic progenitor cell antigen CD34), and ERG(Ets-related gene).Additionally, loss of ATRX expression was observed in four patients.Conclusions:Hepatic angiosarcoma is characterized by a lack of specific clinical manifestations and imaging findings.A comprehensive analysis of clinical symptoms, morphological features, and immunohistochemical staining—particularly for vascular markers and ATRX—is essential for an accurate pathological diagnosis.

Objective:To evaluate the cytological features of primary thyroid lymphoma diagnosed by fine needle aspiration (FNA), using histology as the gold standard.Methods:FNA samples from the 10 cases of primary thyroid lymphoma diagnosed between October 2016 and November 2024 at the Department of Pathology, Beijing Hospital were analyzed. Clinical data were retrospectively reviewed. The smears, cell block slides, immunochemical and histological findings were examined.Results:Among the 10 patients, there were 2 males and 8 females. The median age was 72 (range, 70 to 76) years. Six patients showed rapid enlargement of new or existing tumors within a short period of time (1-2 months). The median diameter of the lesions was 5.0 (range, 4.5 to 5.3) cm. Thyroid FNA samples showed diffuse dysplastic lymphocytoid cells. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was composed of highly consistent and dysplastic lymphocytoid cells with significant nuclear enlargement, obvious nucleoli, frequent mitoses and karyorrhexis, while indolent lymphomas were composed of mixed and mild atypical lymphocytoid cells with various cell sizes, small nucleoli, infrequent mitosis and karyorrhexis. A small number of thyroid follicular cells with eosinophilic alteration were also present. Immunochemistry on smear indicated a predominant B-cell population with Ki-67 index of 5% to 90%. All patients underwent core needle biopsy or resection except one case that only had cell block preparation. The final pathological diagnoses included 5 cases of DLBCL, 3 cases of extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue, 1 case of follicular lymphoma (grade 3b) with transformation of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and 1 case of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma with concurrent thyroid papillary carcinoma. Six patients had concurrent Hashimoto′s thyroiditis.Conclusions:Primary thyroid lymphoma is rare, almost all of them are B-cell origin, and it often presents with rapid enlargement of neck masses. Aggressive lymphoma has prominent cell atypia and can be diagnosed by FNA. For indolent lymphoma, although the cell atypia is mild, there are still cytological characteristics of lymphoma. Therefore, FNA can be used to diagnose hematopoietic and lymphoid malignancies when combined with thyroid diffuse lesion on imaging and the clinical history of rapid growth in a short period of time. An accurate classification generally requires biopsy and molecular clonality examination.

Objective To analyze the policies and theories, and built the theoretical framework and methods to provide policy support and service development for the development of community-based physical activity and rehabilitation for people with disabilities based on WHO Community-based Rehabilitation (CBR) Guidelines.Methods The relevant policies at home and abroad were analyzed using policy research and literature research methods, and the functions of community-based physical activity were systematically analyzed based on the framework of WHO CBR Guidelines.Results The community-based physical activity can empower people with disabilities in the fields of health, rehabilitation, education, life, and social integration.Conclusion Based on WHO CBR Guidelines, the theory and policy framework of community-based physical activity for people with disabilities has been developed. It is benefit to promote the implementation of the National "Healthy China 2030 Outline" and the "National Fitness Program" to develop community-based physical activity for PWDs, to strengthen guidance and support services for community-based physical activity and to integrate physical activity and rehabilitation at community level for people with disability. It is also to achieve inclusive community development.

Objective: To study the predictive value of 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormality on prognosis of chronic heart failure in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM-CHF).
Methods: A prospective, multicenter follow-up study in 787 DCM-CHF patients was conducted, and the endpoints were obtained by clinical visit, mail contact and telephone conversation. The independent predictors for all cause death were determined by Cox regression analysis, QRS duration > 120 ms was studied and the survival rates were investigated by Kaplan-Meier analysis.
Results: There were 203 patients died during the follow-up period. Cox regression analysis found that the following indexes were related to all cause death: atrial fibrillation (AF) (HR=2.064, 95% CI 1.102-3.864,P<0.05), non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) (HR=3.887, 95% CI 1.554-9.724,P<0.05) and QRS duration (HR=1.010, 95% CI 1.002-1.018, P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the survival rates were different by each stratiifcation of QRS duration,P<0.05.
Conclusion: ECG indexes of AF, NSVT and QRS duration had the important impact on the survival rate in DCM-CHF patients; there were signiifcant differences between QRS durations and survival rates.

AIM:There is little evidence proving the molecular mechanism of WenxinKeli ( WXKL) .This study tried to explore the gene ex-pression profile and pathology alteration of WXKL-treated rabbits with myocardial infarction .METHOD: Twenty male adult rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups:sham, model, WXKL and captopril groups .Model, WXKL and captopril groups underwent the ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery , while sham group went through an identical procedure without ligation .WXKL (817 mg? kg-1? d-1), captopril (8 mg? kg -1? d-1) and distilled water (model and sham) were administered orally to the rabbits. 4 weeks later, hearts were taken out for expression chip and pathological staining (HE, Masson and TUNEL) after echocardiography. RESULT:WXKL could down-regulate genes associated with inflammation (CX3CR1, MRC1, and FPR1), apoptosis (cathepsin C and TTC5) and neuro-hormonal system (ACE and EDN1), and up-regulate angiogenesis promoting gene like RSPO 3, which explained why WXKL group represented with better cardiac function , less histopathological injury and slighter apoptosis .CONCLUSION:WXKL plays an important role in suppressing inflammation , inhibiting renin-angiotensin system and alleviating apoptosis , and might be a promising Chinese medicine in treating patients with myocardial infarction .
