OBJECTIVE To introduce a case of interstitial pneumonia induced by vedolizumab (VDZ), summarize and analyze the characteristics of the occurrence of VDZ-associated lung toxicity, and provide a reference for the clinically safe use of drugs. METHODS From the perspective of clinical pharmacists, the diagnosis and treatment of a case of VDZ-induced interstitial pneumonia were retrospectively analyzed, and the association of adverse drug reactions (ADR) was analyzed. Retrieving from Chinese and English databases such as CNKI, VIP, PubMed and Web of Science, case reports of VDZ-associated lung toxicity were summarized and analyzed. RESULTS The patient developed interstitial pneumonia during the use of VDZ and empirical anti- infective therapy with antibiotics was ineffective. After withdrawal of VDZ and treatment with methylprednisolone, symptoms and imaging examinations improved, but interstitial pneumonia still existed. According to Naranjo’s ADR evaluation scale and based on China Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting and Monitoring Manual, the association between VDZ and interstitial pneumonia was “very likely”. Results of the literature analysis showed that among 29 involved patients (including the patient reported in this article), there were 19 males and 10 females, with an average age of (49.24±17.06) years. Lung toxicity mainly included VDZ- associated pneumonia, eosinophilic pneumonia, pulmonary granulomas or necrobiotic nodules, interstitial lung injury, etc., which mostly occurred ≤24 weeks after medication (58.62%). The main clinical manifestations included cough, dyspnea and fever. The vast majority of patients improved or recovered after drug withdrawal and/or glucocorticoid treatment, but one patient died of respiratory failure. CONCLUSIONS Lung toxicity is a rare ADR of VDZ with insidious onset and nonspecific symptoms. Once patients experience symptoms such as cough and dyspnea, early diagnosis,timely drug withdrawal,and symptomatic treatment measures such as glucocorticoid should be taken to ensure medication safety.

Objective:To evaluate the expression of LEF1 protein in lymphoblastic lymphoma/acute lymphoblastic leukemia (LBL/ALL) and small B-cell lymphomas, and its value in pathologic diagnosis and differential diagnosis of LBL/ALL.Methods:53 cases of LBL/ALL were collected at shanghai Tongji Hospital from January 2012 to December 2019. The protein expression of LEF1 and TdT was detected by immunohistochemistry in 53 paraffin-embedded tissue samples of LBL/ALL. The specificity and sensitivity of LEF1 and TdT in the diagnosis of LBL/ALL were compared. The expression of LEF1 protein in 77 cases of small B-cell lymphomas including chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphoid lymphoma (CLL/SLL), follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma and Waldenstrom′s macroglobulinemia/lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma was studied. The correlation between LEF1 expression and overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) was performed by univariate analysis.Results:The expression of LEF1 in LBL/ALL was 100% (53/53), the median value was 90%; the expression of TdT was 84.9% (T-LBL/ALL 78.1%, B-LBL/ALL 95.2%), the median value was 80%; the expression rate and median value of LEF1 and TdT were significantly different ( P=0.008 and 0.001 respectively). The expression of LEF1 in CLL/SLL was 14/18, the median value was 45%; LEF1 was not expressed in follicular lymphoma (0/16), mantle cell lymphoma (0/16), marginal zone lymphoma (0/19), and Waldenstrom′s macroglobulinemia/lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (0/8). LEF1 expression was significantly different between B-LBL/ALL and small B-cell lymphomas. The median follow-up time of LBL/ALL cases in this group was 16 months. There was no statistical difference between LEF1 expression and the OS and PFS in LBL/ALL patients. Conclusions:Immunohistochemical staining of LEF1 has high sensitivity and good specificity in the diagnosis of LBL/ALL, and its combination with TdT can improve the diagnostic rate of LBL/ALL.

Objeetive :
The epidemiological characteristics of confirmed cases of the 2019 novel coronavirus diseases (COVID-19) which was reported in Wenzhou by February 28,2020 were described and analyzed to provide evidence for prevention and control measures in next stage.
Methods:
The field investigation method was employed on all suspected and confirmed cases. The data of time,spatial and population distribution, source of infection and detective routes of all confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Wenzhou were collected and extracted from the reports of field investigation and the National Diseases Prevention and Control Information System.
Results:
As of February 20,2020,504 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were diagnosed in Wenzhou, which included one death case. Among all 13 counties, the highest number of confirmed cases were distributed in Yueqing,Ruian and Lucheng. Among 504 cases, the male to female ratio was reported as 1.14:1. The youngest case was 2 years old while the oldest case was 93 years old. Most of the confirmed cases were among people between the ages of 25 and 64 years old. The most common occupation of the confirmed cases was businessman,which accounts for 29.76% (150 cases). Clinical symptoms of the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Wenzhou occurred on January 4, 2020. Approximately 70% of cases had the first symptoms from January 19 to February 1. The daily number of new cases on January 24 and January 26 were the highest while the number of new cases per day declined significantly after February 2, and there were no new cases after February 14. Among all confirmed cases, the infection source of 61.71% cases were related to Wuhan. As of February 20, 2020, a total of 79 clusters were reported in Wenzhou, which involved 330 cases. Approximately 30% of confirmed cases came to hospitals unaccompanied by community staffs, and cases which confirmed after February 13 were basically found in central isolation locations or by grid checkers.
Conclusions
The main reason for the high case numbers of COVID-19 in Wenzhou, in Zhejiang province, was the high number of wenzhou citizens who work in Wuhan. Imported cases account for the most confirmed cases during the early period, while mainly confirmed cases were local cases during the middle and late periods. The outcomes suggest the prevention and control measures employed by Wenzhou government, which included closed-loop control and quantitative control, have achieved remarkable results and the epidemic of COVID-19 in Wenzhou has been initially controlled.

Objective:
To conduct an epidemiological investigation on the first reported case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide reference for prevention and control of the disease.
Methods :
According to the COVID-19 Diagnosis and Treatment Program (Trial) and the COVID-19 Prevention and Control Program (Trial) issued by National Health Commission of China, a field investigation was employed on a case of fever from Wuhan reported by Wenzhou in January 15, 2020; the real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay was performed to detect the nucleic acid of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) from the sputum specimens or throat swabs of the case; the close contacts of the case were tracked down; relevant prevention and control measures were implemented.
Results :
The case had lived in Wuhan for long. On January 4 of 2020, he felt cold and uncomfortable without obvious inducement, and drove back to Wenzhou with his wife. He had fever (up to 39 ℃), cough and expectoration on the next day. On January 9, the chest computed tomographic (CT) scan showed bilateral high-density patchy shadowing with blurred edges. On January 16, his throat swab and sputum samples were collected and sent to Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for detection of SARS-CoV-2. The result turned out to be positive on January 17, then was rechecked and confirmed by Chinese CDC on January 20. Two weeks before the onset of the disease, the patient was engaged in the door-to-door persuasion of installing elevators in an old residential area of Wuhan, and he denied any connection with other COVID-19 cases,markets,(sick or dead) poultry or poultry products. Totally 26 close contacts were identified and kept in quarantine. During this period,three of them developed fever or respiratory symptoms, but were excluded from COVID-19. On the afternoon of January 16,the health system of Zhejiang Province and Wenzhou City launched an emergency plan and implemented a series of prevention and control measures such as isolation and treatment of cases,screening and isolation of close contacts,and public health education.
Conclusion
According to the epidemiological history,clinical features and laboratory test Results,the patient was identified as the first reported case of COVID-19 in Zhejiang Province.

Objective To study the effect of menopause status and the time of taking tamoxifen (TAM) on endometrial lesions after breast cancer surgery. Methods A total of 330 patients with postoperative vaginal irregular bleeding after breast cancer surgery or endometrial lesions after B ultrasonic from August 2007 to August 2017 in Northern Jiangsu People 's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including 180 cases of taking TAM treatment (medicine-taking group), and 150 cases of not taking TAM treatment (non medicine-taking group). The patients were also divided into the menopause group and the premenopausal group. According to the time of taking TAM, the patients were divided into < 2 years group, 2-5 years group and > 5 years group. Chi-square and Fisher test were used to compare the differences. Results The endometrial lesions incidence in the medicine-taking group was higher than that in the non medicine-taking group [84.44 % (152/180) vs. 56.00%(84/150);χ2=51.701, P=0.000]. The endometrial lesions rate in the menopause group was higher than that in the premenopause group [medicine-taking group: 69.70 % (46/66) vs. 92.98 % (106/114), χ2= 17.254, P= 0.000; non medicine-taking group: 46.15 % (35/65) vs. 63.53 %(54/85), χ2 = 4.513, P= 0.034]. For the patients in the menopause group and the premenopause group, the incidence of endometrial lesions for those who took medicine for>5 years [96.00%(48/50), 85.19%(23/27)] was higher than that in the<2 years group and 2-5 years group [78.26%(18/23), 42.86%(6/14);95.12%(39/41), 72.00%(18/25) respectively], and there were statistical differences (χ2=7.619, P=0.022;χ2= 8.070, P= 0.018). The menopause was not correlated with staging, muscular lawyer infiltration and lymph metastasis postoperative (P> 0.05), but with the type of endometrial cancer (P= 0.013); the length of taking medicine was related with the type of endometrial cancer and the lymph metastasis (P=0.027). With the prolonged time of medicine-taking for postmenopause patients, the incidence of type Ⅱendometrial cancer and positive rate of lymph metastasis were also increased. Conclusions Taking TAM after surgery for breast cancer patients increases the risk of endometrial lesions. The longer the patients take the medicine, the greater risk of the lesions take, and the worse the pathological, histological type and prognosis of endometrial carcinoma are, which is more obvious for postmenopausal women who take TAM for more than 5 years.
