Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bo investigate the regulatory relationship between NKD1 and YWHAE and the mechanism of NKD1 for promoting tumor cell proliferation. METHODS HCT116 cells transfected with pcDNA3.0-NKD1 plasmid, SW620 cells transfected with NKD1 siRNA, HCT116 cells with stable NKD1 overexpression (HCT116-NKD1 cells), SW620 cells with nkd1knockout (SW620-nkd1-/- cells), and SW620-nkd1-/- cells transfected with pcDNA3.0-YWHAE plasmid were examined for changes in mRNA and protein expression levels of YWHAE using qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay was used to detect the binding of NKD1 to the promoter region of YWHAE gene. The regulatory effect of NKD1 on YWHAE gene promoter activity was analyzed by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, and the interaction between NKD1 and YWHAE was analyzed with immunofluorescence assay. The regulatory effect of NKD1 on glucose uptake was examined in the tumor cells. RESULTS In HCT116 cells, overexpression of NKD1 significantly enhanced the expression of YWHAE at both the mRNA and protein levels, while NKD1 knockout decreased its expression in SW620 cells (P < 0.001). ChIP assay showed that NKD1 protein was capable of binding to the YWHAE promoter sequence; dual luciferase reporter gene assay showed that NKD1 overexpression (or knockdown) in the colon cancer cells significantly enhanced (or reduced) the transcriptional activity of YWHAE promoter (P < 0.05). Immunofluorescence assay demonstrated the binding of NKD1 and YWHAE proteins in colon cancer cells. NKD1 knockout significantly reduced glucose uptake in colon cancer cells (P < 0.01), while YWHAE overexpression restored the glucose uptake in NKD1-knockout cells (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION NKD1 protein activates the transcriptional activity of YWHAE gene to promote glucose uptake in colon cancer cells.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the point-of-care assays for tear matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) using domestic and InflammaDry kits, and to evaluate the feasibility of diagnosing dry eye with the domestic kit. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study. Thirty dry eye patients and 30 age-and sex-matched normal volunteers were continuously enrolled in this cross-sectional study from June 2022 to July 2022. Both domestic and InflammaDry kits were used to detect the tear MMP-9 levels. The positive rates were recorded for qualitative analysis, and the gray ratios of bands (the gray value of detection bands to that of control bands) were collected for quantitative analysis. The correlations of MMP-9 levels with age, ocular surface disease index, fluorescence tear break-up time, tear meniscus height, Schirmer's Ⅰ test score, corneal fluorescein staining score, and meibomian gland dropout were analyzed. The Mann-Whitney U test, paired Chi-square test, Kappa test, and Spearman's correlation coefficient were used for statistical analysis. Results: There were 14 males and 16 females (30 eyes) in the control group, and their age was (39.37±19.55) years. In the dry eye group, 11 males and 19 females (30 eyes), aged (46.87±17.85) years, had moderate to severe dry eye. The positive rates of MMP-9 in tear fluid were significantly different between dry eye patients (InflammaDry: 86.67%; domestic kit: 70.00%) and controls (InflammaDry: 16.67%, P<0.001; domestic kit: 6.67%, P<0.001). Although the sensitivity of the domestic kit was lower than that of the InflammaDry kit (70.0% vs. 86.7%, P=0.001), the specificity was higher (93.3% vs. 83.3%, P=0.001). In dry eye patients, the positive coincidence rate was 80.7% (21/26), the negative coincidence rate was 100% (4/4), and the total coincidence rate was 83.3% (25/30), with no significant difference between the two kits (McNemar test: χ2=3.20, P>0.05), and the results of both kits were consistent (Kappa=0.53, P=0.001). The Spearman's correlation coefficient showed the gray ratios using both kits were positively correlated with the corneal fluorescein staining score (InflammaDry: ρ=0.48, P<0.05; domestic kit: ρ=0.52, P=0.003). Conclusion: The performances of the domestic and InflammaDry kits are consistent in the point-of-care assay for tear MMP-9, and the domestic kit has lower sensitivity but higher specificity.

Abstract
Ruddlesden-Popper and reduced Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates are intriguing candidates for mimicking the properties of high-temperature superconducting cuprates. The degree of similarity between these nickelates and cuprates has been the subject of considerable debate. Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) has played an important role in exploring their electronic and magnetic excitations, but these efforts have been stymied by inconsistencies between different samples and the lack of publicly available data for detailed comparison. To address this issue, we present open RIXS data on La4Ni3O10 and La4Ni3O8.

Abstract
Biodegradation using enzyme-based systems is a promising approach to minimize antibiotic loads in the environment. Aminoglycosides are refractory antibiotics that are generally considered non-biodegradable. Here, we provide evidence that kanamycin, a common aminoglycoside antibiotic, can be degraded by an environmental bacterium through deglycosylation of its 4'-amino sugar. The unprecedented deglycosylation inactivation of kanamycin is initiated by a novel periplasmic dehydrogenase complex, which we designated AquKGD, composed of a flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent dehydrogenase (AquKGDα) and a small subunit (AquKGDγ) containing a twin-arginine signal sequence. We demonstrate that the formation of the AquKGDα-AquKGDγ complex is required for both the degradation activity of AquKGD and its translocation into the periplasm. Native AquKGD was successfully expressed in the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli, and physicochemical analysis indicated that AquKGD is a stable enzyme. AquKGD showed excellent degradation performance, and complete elimination of kanamycin from actual kanamycin manufacturing waste was achieved with immobilized AquKGD. Ecotoxicity and cytotoxicity tests suggest that AquKGD-mediated degradation produces less harmful degradation products. Thus, we propose a novel enzymatic antibiotic inactivation strategy for effective and safe treatment of recalcitrant kanamycin residues.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess pain severity and interference with life in women after different types of breast cancer surgery and the demographic, treatment-related, and psychosocial variables associated with these pain outcomes. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Data are conflicting regarding pain outcomes and quality of life (QOL) among women who undergo different types of breast surgery. METHODS Women with nonhereditary breast cancer completed the brief pain inventory before surgery and at 1, 6, 12, and 18 months postsurgery. We assessed associations between pain outcomes and CPM status and mastectomy status using multivariable repeated measures models. We assessed associations between pain outcome and QOL and decision satisfaction. RESULTS Of 288 women (mean age 56 years, 58% non-Hispanic White), 50 had CPM, 75 had unilateral mastectomy, and 163 had BCS. Mean pain severity scores were higher at one (2.78 vs 1.9, P = 0.016) and 6 months (2.79 vs 1.96, P = 0.031) postsurgery in women who had CPM versus those who did not, but there was no difference at 12 and 18 months. Comparing mastectomy versus BCS, pain severity was higher at 1 and 12 months. There was a significant interaction between pain severity and time point for CPM ( P = 0.006), but not mastectomy status ( P = 0.069). Regardless of surgery type, Black women had higher pain severity ( P = 0.004) than White women. Higher pain interference was associated with lower QOL ( P < 0.001) and lower decision satisfaction ( P = 0.034). CONCLUSIONS Providers should counsel women considering mastectomy about the potential for greater acute pain and its impact on overall well-being. Racial/ethnic disparities in pain exist and influence pain management in breast surgical patients.

Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2023; 52:318-327. [PMID: 35835682 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2022.06.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2021] [Revised: 06/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
The aim was to evaluate the techniques and outcomes of superior thyroid artery perforator flaps (STAPF) for intraoral reconstruction and to compare them with those of the sternocleidomastoid myocutaneous flap (SCMMF). The cases of 43 patients who underwent reconstruction with either a SCMMF or STAPF for the repair of a medium-sized intraoral defect, between January 2013 and December 2020, were reviewed retrospectively. Although both flaps are based on the superior thyroid artery, their specific harvesting techniques largely differ. All SCMMF (n = 23) were superiorly-based rotational flaps with myocutaneous designs. The STAPF cases (n = 20) included 18 septocutaneous flaps and two chimeric flaps. The flap size was larger in the STAPF group (P = 0.008), while incomplete level IIB dissection (oncological safety) was more frequent in the SCMMF group (P = 0.002). The flap necrosis rate was lower in the STAPF group (STAPF 15% vs SCMMF 34.8%, though this was not statistically significant). Cox multivariate analysis showed that the postoperative flap outcome (total flap necrosis vs flap survival; hazard ratio 27, 95% confidence interval 2.149-336.05; P = 0.001) and complications (excluding fistula) (hazard ratio 14, 95% confidence interval 1.314-142.767; P = 0.029) were associated with overall patient survival. Both speech (P < 0.001) and neck mobility (P < 0.001) functions were superior with STAPF reconstruction. Compared with the traditional SCMMF, the STAPF was found to have a lower necrosis rate with uncompromised oncological safety during harvesting. The STAPF is a good alternative for the repair of medium-sized head and neck defects.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the difference in survival between fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) and radical surgery and explore pregnancy outcomes after FSS in stage I malignant sex cord-stromal tumours (MSCSTs). MATERIALS AND METHODS We carried out a multicentre retrospective cohort study on patients who were diagnosed with MSCSTs and the tumour was confined to one ovary. The patients were divided into FSS and radical surgery groups. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to balance variables between the two groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare the difference in disease-free survival (DFS). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to find risk factors of DFS. Univariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess risk factors of pregnancy. RESULTS In total, 107 patients were included, of whom 54 (50.5%) women underwent FSS and 53 (49.5%) received radical surgery. After IPTW, a pseudo-population of 208 was determined and all of the covariates were well balanced. After a median follow-up time of 50 months (range 7-156 months), 10 patients experienced recurrence and two died. There was no significant difference in DFS between the two groups, both in unweighted (P = 0.969) or weighted cohorts (P = 0.792). In the weighted cohort, stage IC (P = 0.014), tumour diameter >8 cm (P = 0.003), incomplete staging surgery (P = 0.003) and no adjuvant chemotherapy (P < 0.001) were the four high-risk factors associated with a shorter DFS. Among 14 patients who had pregnancy desire, 11 (78.6%) women conceived successfully; the live birth rate was 76.9%. In univariate analysis, only adjuvant chemotherapy (P = 0.009) was associated with infertility. CONCLUSIONS On the premise of complete staging surgery, FSS is safe and feasible in early stage MSCSTs with satisfactory reproductive outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the current situation of fetal heart defects in Yunnan Province and surrounding high altitude areas and the social factors affecting pregnancy outcome. Methods: This is a retrospective study. Pregnant woman who underwent fetal echocardiography and diagnosed as fetal cardiac defects in Yunnan Fuwai Cardiovascular Hospital from June 2017 to January 2021 were included. According to the clinical prognostic risk scoring system and grading criteria of fetal cardiac birth defects, the cases were divided into grade Ⅰ to Ⅳ. The disease distribution and proportion of each prognostic grade, pregnancy outcomes were analyzed and compared. The cases were divided into continued pregnancy group and terminated pregnancy group according to pregnancy outcome. The social factors that may affect the selection of pregnancy outcomes were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 4 929 fetal echocardiography examination data were collected, and 4 464 cases (90.57%) were from Yunnan Province and surrounding high altitude areas. 2 166 cases of heart defects were finally analyzed, including 998 cases of congenital heart disease (CHD), 93 cases of cardiac tumors, cardiomyopathy and arrhythmia, 1 075 cases of foramen ovale, ductus arteriosus abnormalities and normal variations. The pregnant women were (29.2±5.0) years old with (25.6±3.8) gestational weeks. The number of cases with prognostic grade from Ⅰ to Ⅳ was 1 037 (47.88%), 620 (28.62%), 314 (14.50%), and 44 (2.03%), respectively. And 151 cases (6.97%) were not classified. The cases of normal variation and thin aortic arch development accounted for 42.66% (924/2 166), 5.22% (113/2 166), respectively. The top 3 diseases of grade Ⅱ were ventricular septal defect, coarctation of aorta and mild-moderate pulmonary stenosis, respectively, and their distribution was 11.63% (252/2 166), 3.92% (85/2 166) and 2.35% (51/2 166) respectively in all cases of heart defects, and 25.25% (252/998), 8.52% (85/998) and 5.11% (51/998) respectively in cases of CHD. Among the cases rated as grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ, most of them were complicated congenital heart disease, and the disease types are scattered. The more common cases in grade Ⅲ were complete transposition of great arteries (accounting for 2.40% (52/2 166) of all cases with heart defects, 5.21% (52/998) of all cases with CHD) and pulmonary artery occlusion (type Ⅰ to Ⅲ) with ventricular septal defect (accounting for 2.17% (47/2 166) of all cases with heart defects, and 4.71% (47/998) of all cases with CHD). In grade Ⅳ, single ventricle (0.74% (16/2 166) of all cases with heart defects, 1.60% (16/998) of all cases with CHD) and left ventricular dysplasia syndrome (0.65% (14/2 166) of all cases with heart defects, 1.40% (14/998) of all cases with CHD) are more common. A total of 1 084 cases were successfully followed up, and 675 cases were born, 392 cases were terminated, spontaneous abortion occurred in 17 cases. The proportion of terminated pregnancy cases was significantly increased from grade Ⅰ to Ⅳ, accounting for 5.24% (21/401), 27.78% (70/252), 89.54% (214/239) and 95.56% (43/45), respectively. Among the terminated pregnancy cases, those with grade Ⅲ accounted for the highest proportion (54.59% (214/392)). The distribution of terminated pregnancy cases was mainly complex congenital malformations or diseases with very poor prognosis (pregnancy outcome grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ), and proportion of terminated pregnancy with pregnancy outcome grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ cases (normal variation or good prognosis) accounted for 5.36% (21/392) and 17.86% (70/392), respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that pregnant women with low education (high school and below: OR=2.73, 95%CI 1.26-5.93, P<0.001; illiteracy: OR=3.27, 95%CI 1.29-7.10, P<0.001) and low family income (Annual income<100 000 yuan: OR=2.47, 95%CI 1.69-5.12, P<0.001) were more likely to choose termination of pregnancy in case of fetal heart defect. Conclusion: In Yunnan province and the surrounding high altitude areas, the disease distribution of fetal heart defect is mainly simple or low-risk disease, but the complex malformation, especially the disease with poor pregnancy outcome, accounts for a relative high proportion. Pregnancy termination also occurs in some cases with good pregnancy outcome. The education level and family income of pregnant women may affect their choice of pregnancy outcome in case of fetal heart defect.

Abstract
AIM To analyse the correlation between apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) derived from intratumoural and peritumoural regions with prognostic factors and immune-inflammatory markers in breast cancer (BC). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, 89 patients (age range, 28-66 years; median, 45 years) with a diagnosis of invasive BC who underwent routine blood tests and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were enrolled. The study cohort was stratified according to tumour maximum cross-section ≥20 mm, lymph node metastasis (LNM), time-signal intensity curve (TIC) type, and receptor status. Minimum, maximum, mean, and heterogeneity values of tumour ADC (ADCtmin, ADCtmax, ADCtmean, and ADCheter), maximum values of peritumoural ADC (ADCpmax), and the ratio of peritumoural-tumour ADC (ADCratio) were obtained on the ADC maps. Linear regression analyses were performed to investigate the correlation between immune-inflammatory markers, prognostic factors and ADC values. RESULTS HER-2 was positively associated with ADCtmax, ADCtmean, and ADCpmax values (β = 0.306, p=0.004; β = 0.283, p=0.007; β = 0.262, p=0.007, respectively), while platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) was positively associated with ADCpmax and ADCratio values (β = 0.227, p=0.020; β = 0.231, p=0.020, respectively). Among ADC parameters, ADCpmax showed the highest predictive values for evaluating the presence of LNM (AUC, 0.751; sensitivity, 70.4%; specificity, 77.1%). CONCLUSION The ADCpmax value could provide additional assistance in predicting prognostic factors of BC.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics, response, and prognosis of splenic diffuse red pulp small B-cell lymphoma (SDRPL) . Methods: Eight cases of SDRPL were diagnosed and treated at Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, between May 2017 and April 2022. Data on the clinical features, laboratory results, bone marrow and spleen biopsy results, response, and prognosis were collected and analyzed. Results: The median age at diagnosis was 54 (42-69) years. Splenomegaly and lymphocytosis were present in all cases, and PET/CT revealed normal to slightly elevated splenic FDG uptake. All cases were in stage Ⅳ, with spleen, peripheral blood, and bone marrow but no proximal lymph nodes involved. The cytoplasm of neoplastic villous cells was abundant, and splenic pathology showed that small homogenous lymphocytes permeated the splenic sinus and splenic cord, and the white pulp atrophied. Immunohistochemistry was not typical, and B-cell markers including CD19, CD20 and CD79α were positive. After a median follow up of 35.5 (4-60) months, 7 cases were alive after splenectomy with or without chemoimmunotherapy. The patient with CCND3 P284A and MYC S146L mutation developed to B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (B-PLL) 1 month after splenectomy and died at 16 months of follow-up. Conclusion: A rare indolent B-cell lymphoma that primarily affects the elderly, SDRPL. Most patients achieved long-term survival, but the prognosis of patients who progress to B-PLL was poor.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy, safety, compliance, and cost-effectiveness of rush immunotherapy (RIT) and conventional immunotherapy (CIT) in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR), so as to evaluate the clinical significance of CIT and preliminarily explore its economic value. Methods: A study was conducted on 72 AR patients who had received specific immunotherapy from Oct 2019 to Jun 2020 in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, including 39 males and 33 females, aging 8 to 60 years. RIT or CIT was performed respectively according to the patients' wishes. There were 35 cases in the RIT group and 37 cases in the CIT group, all subjects were followed up for 1 year. Visual analysis scale (VAS) and effectiveness were used to evaluate the clinical efficacy. Systemic adverse reactions were used to assess safety. Failure rate was calculated to evaluate the compliance. The cost and cost-effectiveness ratio (CER) were conducted to evaluate the health economics preliminarily. Results: After half a year and one year's treatment, both RIT and CIT groups had significant clinical efficacy and RIT group had more significant clinical efficacy than CIT group at half a year (76.67% vs 46.67%, χ2=7.37, P=0.007). During the dose accumulation phase, there was no significant difference in the incidence of systemic adverse reactions between the two groups (8.57% vs 8.10%, χ2=0.05, P=0.943), while the drop-out rate in the RIT group was significantly lower than that in the CIT group (0 vs 13.51%, χ2=5.08, P=0.024). After one year, the costs in RIT group were significantly higher ((8 163.08±452.67) yuan vs (7 385.87±369.92) yuan, t=-2.78, P=0.009), while there was no statistical differences in CER between the two groups ((3 298.06±1 374.09) yuan/point vs (3 154.38±1 532.51) yuan/point, t=-0.36, P=0.418). Conclusions: Both RIT and CIT are beneficial for AR, and they have similar clinical efficacy, safety, and CER. RIT is more effective in the early stage, with higher patient compliance. Thus, RIT is worth promoting and exploring in clinic.

Abstract
Spinons are well known as the elementary excitations of one-dimensional antiferromagnetic chains, but means to realize spinons in higher dimensions is the subject of intense research. Here, we use resonant x-ray scattering to study the layered trimer iridate Ba_{4}Ir_{3}O_{10}, which shows no magnetic order down to 0.2 K. An emergent one-dimensional spinon continuum is observed that can be well described by XXZ spin-1/2 chains with a magnetic exchange of ∼55 meV and a small Ising-like anisotropy. With 2% isovalent Sr doping, magnetic order appears below T_{N}=130 K along with sharper excitations in (Ba_{1-x}Sr_{x})_{4}Ir_{3}O_{10}. Combining our data with exact diagonalization calculations, we find that the frustrated intratrimer interactions effectively reduce the system into decoupled spin chains, the subtle balance of which can be easily tipped by perturbations such as chemical doping. Our results put Ba_{4}Ir_{3}O_{10} between the one-dimensional chain and two-dimensional quantum spin liquid scenarios, illustrating a new way to suppress magnetic order and realize fractional spinons.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
We report a unique case of concurrently occurring Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Leukemic non-nodal Mantle Cell Lymphoma (LN-MCL) in an 86-year-old male. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of AML occurring in the background of LN-MCL, with no known history of any malignancy or chemotherapy.
Methods/Case Report
An 86-year old Caucasian male with unremarkable past medical history presented with pancytopenia, fatigue and generalized weakness. Abdominal CT scan was negative for lymphadenopathy or hepatosplenomegaly. Peripheral blood showed 2% blasts with atypical lymphocytes 89%. Bone marrow aspirate showed 30% myeloblasts expressing CD34, CD117, CD13, CD33, HLA-DR and CD56 (dim) by flow cytometry (FC). Lymphocytes accounted for 40% of bone marrow cellularity. FC identified a population of CD5+ kappa restricted clonal B cells 2%, consistent with a concurrent CD5+ B-lymphoproliferative disorder/lymphoma. The bone marrow biopsy was inadequate for further evaluation of the B- cell lymphoma. Chromosomal analysis revealed a normal male karyotype. FISH analysis was positive for t(11:14) CCND1::IGH rearrangement (in 3.5% of interphase cells) supporting involvement by MCL. Myeloid panel next generation sequencing (51 genes) was positive for JAK2 V617F (VAF, 38%) and ASXL1 P920Tfs*4 (VAF, 22%) variants
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
NA
Conclusion
Concurrent presence of LN-MCL and AML as seen in our patient in the absence of prior history of malignancy or chemotherapy is rare. Presence of JAK2V617F mutation in de-novo AML is extremely rare (<5%). There is no prior history of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) or CBC data to suggest that this may have progressed from an MPN. While the absence of lymphadenopathy suggests that the CD5+ B-LPD likely represents LN-MCL, it is also likely that the CD5+, IgH/CCND1 rearranged B-cells may represent prior undetected circulating cells without overt LN-MCL development, similar to those reported in otherwise healthy individuals. It is unclear but tempting to speculate that the two co-occurring hematologic malignancies may have a common cell of origin

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
T-cell-associated antigens (TCA) are rarely expressed by Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and is associated with uncertain clinical significance.
Methods/Case Report
We present a very recent case of a 68 year-old female with no significant past medical history presented with a large right groin mass for 1 month. She denied any fever, night sweats, fatigue or weight loss. CT abdomen/pelvis showed inguinal/pelvic lymphadenopathy. Resection showed effaced nodal architecture with a vague nodular appearance and with large, atypical nucleolated cells in a background of small, mature lymphocytes and histiocytes. Eosinophils are conspicuously absent in the background. The large cells were polylobated lymphocyte and histiocyte rich (L & H) like, classic HRS cells as well as multinucleated in appearance. The morphologic features overlapped between Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma, and Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant Hodgkin Lymphoma. Given the immunohistochemical (IHC) features of the neoplastic cells [CD45 negative, PAX5+ (weak), CD30+ (strong), CD15+ (majority) and MUM1 +] the diagnosis was most compatible with CHL. Interestingly, a subset of the Hodgkin cells (10-20%) aberrantly expressed a number of T-cell markers (CD2, CD3, CD4, and CD8). However, the background smaller T-cells did not show cytologic atypia or aberrancies of T-cell antigen markers. The large cells were negative for CD43 and ALK1. TCR gamma gene rearrangement was also negative for clonal T-lymphocytes, thus excluding the possibility of peripheral T-cell lymphoma with Hodgkin-like cells. Based on the morphology and IHC profile, this case proves to be CHL with multiple TCA expression including CD2, CD3, CD4 and CD8. She was planned for chemotherapy. Four months after the initial diagnosis and after completion of 2 cycles of chemotherapy, her PET CT scan showed improvement with right inguinal adenopathy being smaller in size and decreased avidity, indicating a response to treatment. She is due for 2 more cycles. Till todate she is doing well with no further symptoms.
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
NA.
Conclusion
So far reported cases of classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) with aberrant T-cell antigen (TCA) expression were associated with decreased event-free survival and overall survival when compared with TCA-negative CHLs. Our finding contributes to the literature and improves our knowledge of the disease.

Abstract
Aspergillus sp., an endophytic fungus isolated from Crassula arborescens, displayed potent inhibitory activity against the seed germination of Arabidopsis thaliana. The bioactivity-guided fractionation of the culture extract of Aspergillus sp. MJ01 led to the isolation of nine compounds, including one previously undescribed furanone, namely aspertamarinoic acid (1), and eight known compounds, (-)-dihydrocanadensolide (2), kojic acid (3), citreoisocoumarin (4), astellolide A (5), astellolide B (6), astellolide G (7), cyclo-N-methylphenylalanyltryptophenyl (8) and (-)-ditryptophenaline (9). In the evaluation of the phytotoxic activities of compounds 1-9, the results suggested that 1 and 5 showed significant inhibitory activity on the seed germination of A. thaliana. This is the first report to disclose the phytotoxic activity of these compounds.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the molecular classification and clinicopathological features of endometrial carcinoma(EC). Methods: One hundred cases of EC diagnosed in the Department of Pathology, Tianjin Central Hospital of Gynecology and Obstetrics from November 2020 to November 2021 were selected. Sanger sequencing and immunohistochemical staining were used for molecular classification according to the 5th WHO classification. The clinicopathological characteristics of each molecular subtype was analyzed. Results: The 100 EC patients had a mean age of 53 years (range 26 to 72 years). There were 10 cases of POLE mutation (POLE mut), including two cases (2/10) of "binary-classifier" EC, two cases (2/10) of FIGO Grade 3 endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (G3-EEC), and three cases (3/10) of other high-grade subtypes. There were 38 cases of mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR), including one case (1/38, 2.6%) of "binary-classifier" EC and 36 cases (36/38, 94.7%) were EEC. Twenty-one cases (21/38, 55.3%) showed simultaneous loss of expression of MLH1 and PMS2, and 20 cases (20/21, 95.2%) were positive for MLH1 methylation, indicating that they were sporadic EC. Six patients (6/38, 15.8%) were tested for germline detection of Lynch syndrome (LS) related genes, and one patient was LS-related EC. There were 44 cases of non-specific molecular profile (NSMP), including 34 cases (34/44, 77.3%) of G1-2 EEC and seven cases (7/44, 15.9%) of G3-EEC. There were eight cases of p53 abnormality (p53 abn), including four cases (4/8) of G3-EEC, two cases (2/8) of other high-grade subtypes, and one patient had hereditary breast cancer and ovarian cancer syndrome. Conclusions: Correct interpretation of POLE mutation, MMR and p53 immunohistochemistry is the key of molecular classification. The interpretation must strictly follow standard diagnostic procedures and specifications to ensure the accuracy of molecular classification.

Abstract
Monkeypox is a zoonosis caused by monkeypox virus. Monkeypox virus belongs to the Orthopoxviruses genus in the Poxviridae family, which is regarded as the most important Orthopoxvirus infection in human beings after the extinction of smallpox. Since the first human monkeypox case was reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1970, monkeypox has become endemic in Central and West African. From May 6 to July 15, 2022, monkeypox has broken out in many countries. Monkeypox cases have been detected in 62 countries and regions. Moreover, human to human transmission has occurred and attracted high global attention. Monkeypox virus has been discovered for more than 60 years, but the understanding and research of its natural host, epidemiological characteristics and treatment are still relatively limited. Therefore, this study analyzes the epidemic situation, the possible causes of the outbreak and the future key research directions, and puts forward countermeasures to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of monkeypox.
