Purpose To investigate the clinical and patho-logical characteristics,molecular characteristics,treatment and prognosis of systemic ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lympho-ma(ALCL).Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical pathology,immunophenotype,molecular charac-teristics,treatment and prognosis of 18 cases of systemic ALK-ALCL.HE,immunohistochemistry,FISH,and NGS tests were performed,and relevant literatures were reviewed.Results Systemic ALK-ALCL tended to occur in elderly men,often in the advanced stage,mainly in lymph node lesions.The extran-odal primary sites included the primary pancreas and primary thoracic vertebrae.Morphological examination showed 17 cases belong to common type,1 case belong to"Hodgkin like"type.CD30 was diffuse and strongly positive in tumor cells(＞75％),CD2(16/17),CD3(13/18),CD5(4/18),CD7(8/18),CD4(14/18),TIA-1(16/18),CD8(2/16),GATA-3(10/12),EMA(3/5),MUM1(12/12),CD43(6/6)and CD56(2/8)were positive to varying degrees.The Ki67 proliferation index of 30％to 90％,PD-L1(22C3)(TPS=0-100％),ALK,CD15,CD79α and CD20 were all negative.FISH detection:5 cases of TP63 deficiency and 2 cases of DUSP22 deficiency;NGS detection:16 cases of gene mutations occurred,with a fre-quency of 0-11 gene mutations and an average of 4.2 gene mu-tations;ALK-ALCL with TP63 rearrangement was more likely to occur in women,mostly in lymph nodes,late clinical staging,susceptibility to p53 gene abnormalities,low PD-L1 expression rate and high mortality rate.Conclusion Systemic ALK-ALCL with TP63 rearrangement is associated with many adverse factors,the clinical process is often invasive with poor progno-sis.

Objective To investigate the effect of sarcopenia on balance function in patients with Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods Sixty patients with PD diagnosed by our hospital from January 2021 to June 2021 were selected as the study objects.All patients were divided into myopenia group and control group according to the diagnostic criteria established by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia(AWGS)in 2014.The UPDRS Ⅲ,Berg balance scale,timed-up-go test and activity balance confidence scale were compared between the two groups.Results The grip strength,walking speed and RASM of the myopenia group were lower than those of the control group(P<0.05);Compared with the control group,the number of falls,UPDRS Ⅲ,Berg score and TUG duration in the myopenia group were significantly increased(P<0.05).The total score of ABC,ABC-2,ABC-3,ABC-5,ABC-6,ABC-7,ABC-8,ABC-9,ABC-11,ABC-14,ABC-15,ABC-16 in myopenia group were poor,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Further analyzing the differences between sex genders,we found that female sarcopenia had lower scores on ABC-2,ABC-3,ABC-8,ABC-9,ABC-11,ABC-13,ABC-14,ABC-15,ABC-16,and total score indexes,with statistically significant differences.Conclusion Myopenia significantly affects the balance function of PD and increases the risk of falls.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)followed by hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy(HAIC)combined with TKI drugs and PD-1 inhibitors as the first-line treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of 70 patients with advanced HCC treated in the Department of Oncology of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine between July,2020 and June,2023.23 of the patients received TACE combined with HAIC and TKI(TACE+HAIC+TKI group)and 47 received TACE combined with HAIC,PD-1 inhibitors and TKI(TACE+HAIC+PD-1+TKI group).The clinical characteristics,laboratory test results,efficacy,outcomes and adverse events of the patients were compared between the two groups.Results The TACE+HAIC+TKI and TACE+HAIC+PD-1+TKI groups had significantly different objective remission rates(ORR;60.87%vs 36.17%,P=0.031),comparable disease control rates(95.65%vs 93.62%,P=0.068),and different median progression-free survival(PFS)time(10.2 vs 11.8 months,P=0.003)and median overall survival(OS)time(15.7 vs 19.5 months,P=0.035).After propensity score matching(PSM),the median PFS and OS time of the two groups was 10.1 vs 14.5 months(P=0.024)and 14.2 vs 21.2 months(P=0.221),respectively.The 1-year PFS rates of the 2 groups were 24.0%vs 52.2%,and the 1-,2-and 3-year OS rates were 72.3%vs 93.1%,23.9%vs 63.8%,and 23.9%vs 36.5%,respectively.The incidence of proteinuria was significantly higher in TACE+HAIC+PD-1+TKI group than in TACE+HAIC+TKI group(21.28%vs 0,P=0.025),but the incidences of grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events were all similar between the two groups.Conclusion The first-line treatment with TACE+HAIC+PD-1+TKI is safe and effective for advanced HCC and can significantly prolong the survival of the patients.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Jiangshabanxia nano-paste on nausea and vomiting in end-stage patients and its effect on the quality-of-life (QOL) in cancer patients. Methods 120 end-stage patients with nausea and vomiting symptoms above grade III were randomly divided into observation group and control group. They were treated with Jiangshabanxia nano-paste and placebo paste respectively. The paste patch was changed every 24 hours and used continuously for 7 days. The nausea and vomiting symptom score, the quality-of-life measurement score and KPS score of cancer patients in the two groups were observed to evaluate the curative effect. Results After 7 days of treatment, the symptom scores of nausea and vomiting in the observation group decreased significantly, the KPS score of the observation group increased, and the effective rate was higher than that in the control group. The score of QOL measurement showed that after treatment, the score of main symptom areas and other symptom areas (except external dyspnea, diarrhea and economic difficulties) in the observation group decreased, and the score of overall health area increased. After treatment, the score of main symptom areas and other symptom areas (except external dyspnea, diarrhea and economic difficulties) in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the scores of overall health area in the observation group were higher than those in the control group. Conclusion Jiangshabanxia nano-paste has a good clinical efficacy nausea and vomiting in end-stage patients, it also can improve the quality of life end-stage cancer patients.

Objective:To investigate clinical efficacy and safety of venetoclax (VEN)-based regimens in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods:The clinical data of 41 AML patients treated with venetoclax-based regimens from January 2021 to December 2021 in Ruijin Hospital North of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed. The treatment regimens included VEN+demethylating drugs ± gene mutation inhibitors or VEN+chemotherapy with a median number of 2 courses (1- 5 courses).Results:The median age of all patients was 60 years (18-73 years), and there were 24 males and 17 females. After 1 course of VEN-based therapy, 22 (53.7%) patients achieved complete remission (CR) or morphological complete remission without complete blood count recovery (CRi), including 5 patients achieving minimal residual disease (MRD) negative. After 2 courses of treatment, of 17 patients available for efficacy evaluation, 7 patients achieved MRD negative. Among 20 relapsed/refractory AML patients, 9 cases achieved CR/CRi after 1 course of treatment, of which 1 patient had MRD negative. Among 21 patients initially treated and re-treated, 13 cases achieved CR/CRi and 1 case achieved partial remission after 1 course of treatment, of which 4 cases had MRD negative.Conclusions:VEN-based treatment regimens for AML have a high remission rate and tolerable adverse effects.

Digital and intelligent technology is an important driving force to promote the transformation and innovation of medical service mode and improve service quality. In February 2020, Peking Union Medical College Hospital established an intelligent outpatient pre-admission medical history collection system in order to improve the intelligent level of clinical application business system and the medical experience of outpatients.The system consisted of artificial intelligence capability layer, application service layer, capability resource layer and user application layer and hardware technology architecture. By docking with the hospital information system and using mobile terminal App, patients could submit pre-admission medical history information by themselves, and generate structured patient history for the visiting doctors to call. By November 2021, the pre-admission medical history collection system had covered 80% of the departments of the hospital, serving 1.68 million people in total, and the patient filling rate had reached 60%. The duration of patient′s medical history collection and the duration of doctor′s outpatient electronic medical record writing had been continuously shortened, greatly improving the efficiency of outpatient medical services.

There are many bidirectional communication and crosstalk between microbes and host plants. The plant-pathogen interaction directly affects the survival of host plants, while the interaction between plants and their probiotics benefits both. Plant miRNA responds quickly to pathogenic or beneficial microbes when they enter the plant tissues, while microbes also produce miRNA-like RNA (milRNA) to affect plant health. These means miRNA or milRNA is an important fast-responding molecular mediator in plant-microbe interactions, and these internal mechanisms have been better understood in recent years. This review summarized the regulatory roles of miRNA in plant-pathogens and plant-probiotics interaction. The regulatory role of miRNA in disease resistance of host plants during plant-pathogens interaction, and the regulatory role of miRNA in promoting host growth and development during plant-probiotics interaction, as well as the cross-kingdom regulatory role of milRNA in host plants, were discussed in-depth.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis with different doses of alteplase in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction in older adult patients.Methods:A total of 65 older adult patients with acute cerebral infarction (onset within 4.5 hours, age ≥ 75 years) who underwent intravenous thrombolysis in Wenzhou Central Hospital from February 2021 to February 2022 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to undergo intravenous thrombolysis with either low dose alteplase (0.6 mg/kg, low dose group, n = 32) or standard dose alteplase (0.9 mg/kg, standard dose group, n = 33). The National Institutes of Health Neurological Stroke Scale score before and 24 and 48 hours after treatment, modified Rankin scale score before and 7, 14 and 90 days after treatment, serum C-reactive protein (CRP), neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels before and 24 hours after treatment, 24-hour incidence of intracranial hemorrhage, 24-hour incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, and 90-day mortality were compared between the two groups. Results:Compared with before treatment, the National Institutes of Health Neurological Stroke Scale scores in each group were significantly decreased at 24 and 48 hours after treatment (low dose group, t24 h = 6.78, t48 h = 7.86; standard dose group: t24 h = 8.09, t48 h = 10.13, all P < 0.001). Compared with before treatment, the modified Rankin scale score in each group was significantly decreased at 7, 14 and 90 days after treatment (low-dose group: t7 d = 5.19, t14 d = 8.47, t90 d = 9.85; standard dose group: t7 d = 6.83, t14 d = 7.74, t90 d = 13.66, all P < 0.001). At 24 hours after treatment, serum levels of CRP, NSE, TNF-α in each group were significantly decreased (low-dose group: tCRP = 5.13 , tNSE = 4.22, tTNF-α = 34.29; standard dose group: tCRP = 4.87, tNSE = 5.53, tTNF-α = 31.98, all P < 0.001). At each time point after treatment, there were no significant differences in these indices between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The 24-hour incidence of intracranial hemorrhage in the low dose group was significantly lower than that in the standard dose group ( χ2 = 4.58, P = 0.032). There were no significant differences in incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and 90-day mortality between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion:Intravenous thrombolysis with low dose alteplase (0.6 mg/kg) for the treatment of acute cerebral infarction in older adult patients exhibits equivalent clinical efficacy to that with standard dose alteplase (0.9 mg/kg), and the former is much safer than the latter.

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles released from various cellular sources and are widely present in body fluids. Bioactive substances such as microRNAs, mRNAs, and proteins are encapsulated in exosomes, which can activate various signaling pathways and play important roles in early warning of stroke and neurovascular unit repair. This article reviews the signal transduction of exosomes in cerebral ischemia.
