Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features and genetic mutation status of pulmonary intravascular large B cell lymphoma.Methods:The clinicopathological data of eight patients diagnosed with pulmonary intravascular large B cell lymphoma, from April 2018 to May 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. The genetic profile of six patients was detected via next-generation sequencing (NGS) and followed up.Results:All patients included one male and seven females, with a median age of 64 years (ranging from 45 to 66 years). Respiratory symptoms were the most common (7 cases), B symptoms in two cases, hemophagocytic syndrome in two cases. Multiple diffuse ground-glass opacities in both lungs were observed based on the high-resolution chest CT scan. Six cases of mild to moderate ventilation or diffusion dysfunction were observed based on the pulmonary function tests. Moreover, two cases of hypoxemia and two cases with type Ⅰ respiratory failure were recorded. The serum lactate dehydrogenase level increased (7/8), β2-MG level increased (2/8), neuron-specific enolase level increased (7/8), total number of peripheral blood lymphocytes decreased (7/8), and clinical stages were all stage Ⅳ. The neoplastic lymphoid cells were lodged in the lumina of venules and capillaries of the alveolar septum; the tumor cells were large, with prominent nucleoli and frequent mitotic figures. The malignant cells were detected in the extravascular surrounding lung tissue in all cases. The tumor cells expressed mature B cell-associated antigens CD20 and CD79a, and the vascular endothelial markers CD31 and CD34 showed that the tumor cells were filled in the blood vessels, infiltrated blood vessel walls, and perivascular areas. One case was germinal center-type, seven cases were non-germinal center-type, two cases were double-expressing lymphoma, and all cases were EBER-negative. Furthermore, the top five genes with mutation frequencies detected by NGS were MYD88 (5/6), PIM1 (5/6), CD79B (4/6), TCF3 (4/6), and TP53 (3/6). Of the eight cases, seven patients received R-CHOP-based chemotherapy, six cases had complete remission after chemotherapy, one case died, and one case was lost to follow-up.Conclusions:Pulmonary vascular large B cell lymphoma is rare, which shares similar patterns with interstitial lung disease on imaging. Transbronchial lung biopsy is an effective method to confirm the diagnosis. Immunochemotherapy with BTK inhibitors can provide a survival advantage for patients in the future based on molecular typing.

The neural stimulator is a core component of animal robots. While the control effect of animal robots is influenced by various factors, the performance of the neural stimulator plays a decisive role in regulating animal robots. In order to optimize animal robots, embedded neural stimulators had been developed using flexible printed circuit board technology. This innovation not only enabled the stimulator to generate parameter-adjustable biphasic current pulses through control signals, but also optimized its carrying mode, material, and size, overcoming the disadvantages of traditional backpack or head-inserted stimulators, which have poor concealment and are prone to infection. Static, in vitro, and in vivo performance tests of the stimulator demonstrated that it not only had precise pulse waveform output capability, but also was lightweight and small in size. It had excellent in vivo performance in both laboratory and outdoor environments. Our study has high practical significance for the application of animal robots.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of temperature and time on the detection results of calcium and magnesium in urinary sample storage. METHODS: Urinary samples of 5 health volunteers were collected. The samples were stored in room temperature, 4 ℃ and-20 ℃ for different duration after sealed separately. A flame atomic absorption spectrometry was used to detect calcium and magnesium mass concentrations in the urinary samples. RESULTS: The variation rate of calcium and magnesium mass concentrations was <2.00% when urinary samples were stored at room temperature for 8 hours, the variation rate was <6.00% when samples were stored at 4 ℃ for 15 days, and it was <5.00% when samples were stored at-20 ℃ for 60 days. CONCLUSION: The temperature and time of urinary sample storage can affect the detection results of calcium and magnesium mass concentrations. Packing and storing samples at low temperature after collection as soon as possible is beneficial to ensure the accuracy of test results.

Objective: To investigate the effect of cyclosporin (CsA) on initial, relapsed or refractory subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL). Methods: The clinical data of one case with long-survival SPTCL in China-Japan Friendship Hospital was retrospectively analyzed, and the literature was reviewed. Results: After CsA treatment as the initial therapy, the patient obtained rapid response and complete remission (CR). Lymphoma occurred relapse several times, but the use of CsA could got rapid remission. CR sustained from 1 to 6 years after drug withdrawal. However, CsA did not bring remission after the recent relapse. Then CHOP-like regimen was carried out, and partial remission could be reached. The patient achieved CR and 22 years survival time with CsA maintenance therapy until now. Conclusion CsA has a favorable effect on initial, relapsed or refractory SPTCL.

Objective To observe the effect of miR-369-3p on vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) gene in bladder cancer cells EJ and 5637 and observe its effect on cell proliferation and apoptosis.Methods Bladder cancer cell lines EJ and 5637 were transfected with miR-NC (control group) or transfected with miR-369-3p (experimental group).The target gene of miR-369-3p was predicted by Targets can target gene prediction software.Fluorescence real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to detect the changes of VEGFC at mRNA level.The changes of VEGFC,p-Raf-1 and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (p-ERK1/2) at the protein level were detected by Western blotting.The effect of miR-369-3p on the proliferation of bladder cancer cells was detected by cell counting kit (CCK-8) and clone formation experiment.The effect of miR-369-3p on apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.Results After transfection with miR-369-3p,the expression of VEGFC at mRNA and protein levels was significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.05),the expression of p-Raf-1 and p-ERK1/2 protein was significantly decreased,the cell proliferation ability was significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.05),the number of clones formed was significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.05) and the apoptosis was significantly increased (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions miR-369-3p can inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of bladder cancer cells by interfering with the expression of VEGFC gene,which may provide a new target for the biological therapy of bladder cancer.

Objective To investigate the value of prenatal diagnosis in identifying the etiology and predicting the prognosis of fetal pleural effusion (FPE).Methods Forty-two cases of FPE were recruited in this study from January 2012 to September 2016.Ultrasound scan and genetic tests were performed on all fetuses.Seven fetuses with severe FPE were given pleurocentesis.Pregnancy outcomes of all the fetuses were followed up.Results FPE was commonly accompanied with other abnormalities,such as ascites,hydrops,hydramnion,hygroma colli,abnormal posturing,joint contractures,arrhythmia and micromandible.Chromosomal abnormality was detected in 11 fetuses (26.2％),of which ten were further confirmed by karyotype analysis,including six with 45,X,three trisomy 21 and one trisomy 18,and one was detected with a 9.83 Mb uniparental disomy (UPD) located at 12q24.21q24.31 by gene chip.One fetus was diagnosed with--SEA/--SEA thalassemia.All of the 12 families decided to terminate the pregnancies after genetic counseling.Among the other 30 fetuses,seven with severe FPE and normal karyotype underwent pleurocentesis.Five of the seven cases were with favorable outcomes,one with progressive hydrops was aborted and one neonate with severe hydrops died after birth.Spontaneous regression of FPE with good outcome was found in two cases.Parents of the other 21 fetuses chose to terminate the pregnancies.Conclusions Prenatal diagnosis is important to identify the etiology and predict the outcome of FPE.Chromosomal abnormality is a relatively common cause of FPE,and 45,X and trisomy 21 are the most common abnormalities.Intrauterine intervention is beneficial for FPE without chromosomal or other definite genetic abnormalities.Genetic test may be of great value for pregnant counseling.

Objective To analyse MMACHC mutations for 45 pedigrees with combined methylmalonic aciduria and homocyctinuria by Sanger sequencing, and to discuss the utility of prenatal genetic diagnosis for these pedigrees.Method Peripheral blood was collected from 45 probands and their parents from 2012-2015 in Genetic Counselling Clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, and the DNA were extracted from the blood.Then the coding sequence of MMACHC gene was amplified by PCR, and the PCR products were further sequenced to detect mutations for each pedigree.For 12 families, chorionic villus sampling was performed on the pregnant women to make prenatal genetic diagnosis.Result There were 14 distinct mutations detected in the 45 pedigrees, and the most frequent mutations are c.609G>A(W203X),c.658-660delAAG(K220del)and c.80A>G (Q27A).Two of those mutations have not been reported before:one is a splicing site mutation c.81+1G>A;while the other is a missense mutation c.665A>G,p.Y222C.Most mutations were found in exon 4.Among the 12 pedigrees who received prenatal diagnosis, 2 fetuses were normal, 7 fetuses were carriers of heterozygous mutation, and the other 3 fetuses were patients with compound heterozygous mutation or homozygous mutation.The couples whose fetuses were normal or carriers continued the gestation, while the couples whose fetuses were patients decided to terminate the pregnancy.After delivery, the outcome of the fetuses was the same as the prenatal diagnose results.Conclusion Two novel mutations of MMACHC were identified and prenatal genetic diagnosis helps to avoid the delivery of combined methylmalonic aciduria and homocyctinuria patients.
