Abstract
This study investigated the effect of rapamycin alone and in combination with chemotherapy (doxorubicin and cytarabine) on AML. Human acute monocytic leukemia cell line SHI-1 and NPG AML model mice created by intravenous injection of SHI-1 cell were treated with rapamycin, chemotherapy, or rapamycin plus chemotherapy. Analysis by cell counting kit-8, western blot, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry was performed, and results suggested that both rapamycin and chemotherapy inhibited proliferation of SHI-1 cells both in vitro and in vivo, suppressed neoplasm growth in vivo, and promoted survival of NPG AML mice. The antitumor effect of rapamycin plus chemotherapy was better than that of rapamycin alone and chemotherapy alone. In addition, western blot results demonstrated that rapamycin inhibited the phosphorylation of mTOR downstream targets 4EBP1 and S6K1 in SHI-1 cells, and increased the pro-apoptosis-related protein Bax and autophagy-associated proteins Beclin-1, LC3B-II, and ATG5 while reducing the anti-apoptosis-related protein Bcl-2. In conclusion, the results of this study indicate that rapamycin acts synergistically with doxorubicin and cytarabine in AML treatment, and its underlying mechanism might be associated with mTORC1 pathway-mediated apoptosis and autophagy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional dyspepsia (FD) as a type of disorders of brain-gut interaction (DBGI), patient self-reporting of its symptoms becomes an important component of clinical outcome assessment. We performed a systematic review using Consensus Based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) guidelines to identify the best available patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) of FD. METHODS The study was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). We searched four databases with no date limit, looking for previously confirmed PROMs for evaluating FD symptoms. An overall rating was then assigned based upon COSMIN guidelines, and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was used to assess the level of evidence for psychometric properties of included PROMs. RESULTS Thirty articles covering outcome indicators of 24 patient reports were included. The Leuven Postprandial Distress Scale (LPDS) showed adequate content validity and moderate quality evidence of adequate internal consistency to generate an A recommendation. CONCLUSION LPDS is currently the most recommended PROM for patient self-reported FD symptoms. However, it fails to assess two important areas of cross-cultural validity/ measurement invariance and measurement error. Future research can be continuously improved on this basis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of RNA m6A demethylase ALKBH5 gene deficiency on cerebellar morphology and function in the aged mice, and to explore the role of ALKBH5 in cerebellar degeneration. Methods: Western blot was performed to detect the protein level of ALKBH5 in the cerebellum of wild-type mice of various ages. The expression of NeuN, Calbindin-D28K, MAP2, GFAP and other proteins in the cerebella of middle-aged (12-month-old) and aged (18-month-old) wild-type mice and ALKBH5-/- mice was examined using immunohistochemistry. The balance beam test and gait analysis were performed to test the balance ability and motor coordination of the mice. Results: With aging of the mice, the expression of ALKBH5 in the cerebellum increased gradually in an age-dependent manner. In the aged mice, but not middle-aged mice, the body weight, whole brain weight and cerebellum weight of ALKBH5-/- mice decreased by 15%, 10% and 21%, respectively (P<0.05). The expression of ALKBH5 in the Purkinje cells was much higher than that in other types of neural cells. Correspondingly, ALKBH5-deficiency caused 40% reduction in the number of Purkinje cells, as well as the length and density of neuronal dendrites in the aged mice (P<0.01). In addition, the time for the aged ALKBH5-/- mice to pass the balance beam was 70% longer than that of the wild type mice of the same age, with unstable gaits (P<0.01). Conclusions: Gene deficiency of RNA m6A demethylase ALKBH5 causes cerebellar atrophy, Purkinje neuron loss and damage in the aged mice. These changes eventually affect mice's motor coordination and balance ability. These results suggest that imbalanced RNA m6A methylation may lead to neurodegenerative lesions in the cerebellum of mice.

Abstract
PURPOSE Gross extrathyroidal extension (gETE) into major vessel is considered the most advanced stage of the locally advanced papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Surgical intervention may not benefit some patients at this disease stage or even result in intraoperative death due to massive hemorrhage; however, it is still considered an effective strategy for most cases. The lack of description for this challenging invasion in PTC warrants detailed characterization of its pattern, risk factors, optimal surgical method, and prognostic value. METHODS In total, 3127 patients diagnosed as having PTC were enrolled and categorized into two the following groups, namely the major vessel invasion (MVI) group (n = 30) and the control group (n = 3097). Data regarding clinicopathological and demographic characteristics, vascular invasion sites, postoperative complications, locoregional recurrence, distant metastasis, and surgical strategies were collected. Predictive disease-free survival (DFS) was also compared between the two groups. RESULTS MVI was independently associated with invasion of the esophageal extension, age < 55 years, tumor size > 1 cm, lateral lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis (P = 0.00; P = 0.01; 0.05; P = 0.00; P = 0.00, respectively). The difference in the predictive DFS between the two groups was significant (P = 0.00), and the difference remained significant even in patients with ETE when compared with patients without ETE (P = 0.00). Additionally, predictive DFS did not differ significantly between patients who received vessel repairment and those who received vessel resection (P = 0.28). CONCLUSIONS This study first characterized the gross MVI pattern exhibited by PTC and the risk factors for MVI. Additionally, it demonstrated the DFS of patients with PTC. Extensive gross MVI significantly worsened the biological characteristics of PTC. Regardless of the high risk and difficulty of the operation, patients still benefited from the surgical intervention, and vessel repairment may be the optimal surgical strategy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with advanced tumors often suffer from spinal metastatic tumor pain. The current drugs are less effective and have side effects. The objective was to explore the efficacy of iodine-125 particle implantation in the treatment of bone metastatic tumor pain. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a retrospective study, a total of 27 patients with bone metastatic tumors who could not receive surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy were analyzed. All patients received conventional treatment, with the visual analog scale (VAS) of >3 points, and the daily onset pain of >3 times. All patients received CT-guided iodine-125 particle implantation to treat local painful lesions. VAS scores were recorded before treatment (T0) and 1 day (T1), 7 days (T2), 30 days (T3), 90 days (T4), and 180 days (T5) after treatment. Kaplan-Meier analytical method was used to calculate the local control rate (LCR) and survival rate (SR). RESULTS All patients successfully completed the CT-guided iodine-125 particle implantation. There was no significant difference in VAS scores before and 1 day after surgery. However, compared with pre-operation, the VAS scores decreased at 7, 30, 90, and 180 days after surgery. The postoperative follow-up was 6-38 months, with a median of 16 months; the LCR at 1, 2, and 3 years after the follow-up were 87%, 51%, and 21%, respectively, and the SR was 84%, 43%, and 16%, respectively. Moreover, no serious adverse reactions were observed. CONCLUSIONS Iodine-125 particle implantation was effective in the treatment of bone metastatic tumor pain without serious complications, and hence, can be used clinically.

Abstract
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are an integral part of cancer microenvironment. We intend to clarify BMSC-derived exosomes’ role in prostate cancer. The exosomes miR-200c secreted by BMSCs were identified by electron microscopy. The mice tumor model was used
to explore the role of miR-200c’s in tumor mice. Cell invasion was assessed by transwell assay and Wnt/β-catenin expression was measured by western blot. Exosomes miR-200c derived from BMSCs promoted tumor cell invasion and activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling. miR-200c
targets CTTN-mediated cell signal transduction, and blocking CTTN expression can suppression miR-200c-mediated Wnt/β-catenin signal transduction and inhibit cell invasion. In conclusion, miR-200c regulates CTTN, thereby inducing Wnt/β-catenin signaling to enhance tumor
growth.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to elucidate the molecular characteristics of a Chinese family with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT). The proband was diagnosed with GT based on clinical manifestations, platelet aggregation, and the expression of CD41 and CD61 in platelets. Whole-exome and Sanger sequencing were used to detect genetic defects related to GT in the proband and the family of the pedigree. Whole-exome sequencing showed a c.1784-1802delinsGTCACA, p. S595Cfs*70 homozygous mutation in exon 11 of the ITGB3 gene in the proband. Heterozygous mutations were found in the proband's parents, grandmother, uncle, aunt, and younger brother. This novel p. S595Cfs*70 ITGB3 gene mutation is not present in the 1000 Genomes and ExAC databases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infections are one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE patients have a higher risk of tuberculosis (TB) infection due to impaired immune defence. OBJECTIVES To investigate the demographics, clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with SLE and concomitant TB. METHODS Medical records of SLE patients with TB who were admitted to Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) Hospital in 1983-2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Age- and sex-matched SLE inpatients without TB were randomly selected as controls. Clinical and laboratory features and treatment were analysed and compared, and subjects were followed up to assess their outcome. RESULTS Of the 10 469 SLE inpatients, 249 (2.4%) were diagnosed with TB. Compared with controls, SLE/TB + patients exhibited higher frequency of prior haematologic, mucocutaneous and musculoskeletal system involvement, and prior treatment with potent glucocorticoid/immunosuppressive agents (GC/ISA). Arthritis and alopecia, positive T-SPOT.TB test and lymphocytopenia were more common in SLE/TB + patients. SLE/TB + patients with lupus before TB (SLE → TB) had higher risk of miliary TB (22.8%) and intracranial TB (16.5%) than SLE/TB + patients with lupus after TB (TB → SLE). SLE/TB + patients exhibited shorter long-term survival than SLE/TB- patients; those with poorer in-hospital outcomes had more severe lymphocytopenia and had received less treatment with ISAs. CONCLUSION Systemic lupus erythematosus patients treated vigorously with GC/ISA should be alerted of increased risk of TB infection, especially miliary and intracranial TB. Positive T-SPOT.TB and lymphocytopenia served as discriminatory variables between SLE/TB + and SLE/TB- patients. Lymphocytopenia was associated with poorer outcomes in SLE/TB + patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness and safety of treatment consisting of extending chemotherapy (ECT) with capecitabine following capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CAPOX) chemotherapy for stage 3 gastric carcinoma (GC) after D2 gastrectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, we included 214 patients with stage 3 GC who underwent D2 gastrectomy between January 2012 and April 2014. The CAPOX regimen chemotherapy was administrated to all of the patients as adjuvant therapy. The CAPOX regimen consisted of capecitabine (1000 mg/m2, in 2 divided doses for 14 d) and oxaliplatin (130 mg/m2 given on Day 1), repeated every 21 d for 8 cycles. Following CAPOX chemotherapy, 102 of these patients received extending chemotherapy (the ECT group) with capecitabine, whereas 112 patients (the control group) received no ECT. The ECT consisted of capecitabine (1000 mg/m2, in 2 divided doses for 14 d), repeated every 21 d for 8 cycles at most. The chemotherapy was discontinued if unacceptable toxicity or disease progression occurred or upon the request of the patient. All cases were followed up, and overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and toxicities were compared. RESULTS The ECT group exhibited a distinctly higher 5-year OS (p=0.0468) and RFS (p=0.0483) than those of the control group. The incidence of hand-foot syndrome was markedly greater in the ECT group (p=0.0043). No toxicity-related death occurred. CONCLUSIONS Extending chemotherapy with capecitabine following the CAPOX regimen chemotherapy provides significant survival benefit for stage 3 GC after D2 gastrectomy.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the correlation factors of contralateral central lymph node metastasis in unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma with lateral cervical lymph node metastasis. Methods: The clinical data of patients with unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma who underwent total thyroidectomy and bilateral central lymph node dissection and ipsilateral cervical lymph node dissection from June 2016 to June 2018 at Department of Thyroid Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University were analyzed retrospectively. A total of 317 patients, including 87 males and 230 females, aged (41.4±12.1) years (range: 16 to 75 years), were enrolled in this study. The risk factors of contralateral central lymph node metastasis were analyzed by χ2 test and Spearman correlation analysis. Results: There were 116, 69, 269, and 181 cases of pretracheal lymph node, prelaryngeal lymph node, ipsilateral central lymph node and contralateral central lymph node metastasis, respectively, and 16 cases of skipping metastasis. Univariate analysis showed that contralateral central lymph node metastasis was associated with gender, maximum tumor diameter, capsule invasion, pretracheal lymph node metastasis, prelaryngeal lymph node metastasis, and ipsilateral central lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that male (rs=0.162, P=0.004), maximum tumor diameter>10 mm (rs=0.184, P=0.001), capsule invasion (rs=0.135, P=0.016), pretracheal lymph node metastasis (rs=0.394, P<0.01), prelaryngeal lymph node metastasis (rs=0.272, P<0.01) and ipsilateral central lymph node metastasis (rs=0.203, P<0.01) were independent correlation factors for contralateral central lymph node metastasis. Conclusion: For patients with unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma with ipsilateral cervical lymph node metastasis, bilateral central lymph node dissection should be considered if male, tumor diameter>10 mm, capsule invasion, pretracheal lymph node metastasis, prelaryngeal lymph node metastasis, or ipsilateral central lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
Objective: To preliminarily establish the multidisciplinary cooperative vaccination management model for pediatric patients with hematological and oncological diseases, and to explore its feasibility. Methods: In this prospective study a total of 150 children with hematological and oncological diseases visited immunization clinic of Shanghai Children's Medical Center from March 2017 to August 2018 were enrolled in this study. After establishing the multidisciplinary team, designing vaccination plan, staff training, implementation and quality control, a multidisciplinary immunization clinic was set up and the vaccination plan were implemented. The implementation rate of vaccination immunization, the HBsAb level and serum hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) level before and after treatment, the HBsAb level and serum immunoglobulin G antibody (IgG) levels of measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) before and 6 months after immunization, the vaccine-related adverse reactions were assessed prospectively. Chi-square test or Fisher exact test was used to compare the differences of antibody level. Results: A total of 124 cases had been vaccinated as planned, with a coverage rate of 82.7%. Among these cases, the difference of HBsAb positive rate before and after treatment was significant (62.9% (78/124) vs.13.7% (17/124), χ²= 63.489, P<0.01). In 64 cases that completed three doses of hepatitis B immunization, there was a significant difference in HBsAb positive rate before and 6 months after immunization (6.3% (4/64) vs. 98.4% (63/64), P<0.01). In 40 cases that completed MMR immunization, the IgG antibody positive rate for measles (22.5% (9/40) vs. 82.5% (33/40), χ²=31.746,P<0.01), mumps (22.5% (9/40) vs.82.5% (33/40), χ²=28.872,P<0.01), rubella (25.0% (10/40) vs.62.5% (25/40), χ²=11.429, P<0.01) before and 6 months after immunization were significantly different. Of the 421 doses of immunization, 25 (5.9%) doses reported controlled systemic or local adverse event. Conclusions: The immunization of pediatric patients with hematological and oncological diseases is of great importance. The newly-developed multidisciplinary cooperation immunization model for Chinese children with hematological and oncological diseases is feasible, and the immunization protocol is safe and has a certain effect.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between estrogen-related receptor a (ERRα) expression level and gastric cancer (GC). METHODS We collected GC and adjacent normal tissues from 50 patients. The parameters of the patients were summarized, and correlation with the expression level of ERRα was calculated. Downregulated ERRα using lentivirus was designed and transfected to SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cells. Cell migration, invasion and wound assays were conducted to determine the correlation between ERRα and capacity for cell migration and invasion. The expression level of the genes involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition, including E-cadherin, γ-catenin, N-cadherin and vimentin, was determined via real-time or quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR) and Western blot analysis. RESULTS The expression of ERRα tends to be higher in GC tissues than in adjacent normal tissues. Analyses ofthe expression level of ERRα and patient parameters show that the ERRα level is significantly correlated with TNM staging and patient survival (P<0.05). The downregulation of ERRα can inhibit cell invasion and migration, which was proven by Transwell and cell wound assays. The levels of E-cadherin and γ-catenin increased by conducting qPCR and Western blot analysis. Meanwhile, the levels of N-cadherin and vimentin decreased when ERRα expression was reduced. CONCLUSION ERRα is highly expressed in GC tissues and can promote the migration and invasion of cancer cells. It can be a potential marker for GC diagnosis.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the anti-hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) titers in children after completion of chemotherapy and (or) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), evaluate the efficacy and safety of the current hepatitis B re-vaccination schedule. Methods: A total of 239 children who completed their chemotherapy and (or) HSCT and visited the vaccination clinic of Shanghai Children's Medical Center from March 2017 to July 2019 were enrolled in this study. According to the previous diseases, patients were divided into leukemia group (85 cases), lymphoma group (30 cases), solid tumor group (49 cases) and non-malignant hematological disease group (75 cases). According to the treatment of previous diseases, the patients were divided into chemotherapy group (126 cases), HSCT group (89 cases) and chemotherapy plus HSCT group (24 cases). HBsAb titers were assessed both at the time of diagnosis and after completion of treatment and some children who were HBsAb seronegative were re-vaccinated with 3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine, the vaccine-related adverse reactions were monitored. HBsAb titers were measured again one month after the completion of inoculation. HBsAb titers were defined as negative at levels <10 U/L and positive at ≥ 10 U/L. Chi-square test or Fisher exact test was used to compare the difference of negative conversion rate of hepatitis B antibody between groups, and Logistic regression was used to explore the risk factors of hepatitis B antibody negative conversion. Results: Among 239 patients, there were 143 males and 96 females. At the time of diagnosis, 179 patients (74.9%) were HBsAb seropositive and 60 patients (25.1%) were HBsAb seronegative. After completion of chemotherapy and (or) HSCT, 133 of 179 children with HBsAb seropositive (74.3%) at diagnosis became HBsAb seronegative. Univariate analysis showed significant differences at the negative conversion rates of HBsAb between different disease groups (χ²=10.211,P=0.015), different treatments groups (χ²=14.899,P<0.01) and different HBsAb titers groups before treatment (χ²=32.117,P<0.01). Logistic regression showed that HSCT (chemotherapy group as the reference, odds ratio (OR)=2.999, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.276-7.050,P=0.012) and HBsAb titers<328.2 U/L before treatment (HBsAb titers≥328.2 U/L group as the reference, OR=6.397, 95% CI3.159-12.954,P<0.01) were risk factors for negative conversion of HBsAb. Among 48 patients whose HBsAb was seronegative after completion of chemotherapy and (or) HSCT and re-vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine, 47 (97.9%) cases became HBsAb seropositivie. No serious adverse effects or complications were reported among these patients. Conclusions: After completion of chemotherapy and (or) HSCT, most children completely lose their protective humoral immunity against hepatitis B. Hepatitis B re-vaccination schedule can be efficiently and safely applied in those patients.

Abstract
In the current study, schisandrin B(SchB)-loaded F127 modified lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles(SchB-F-LPNs) were developed to improve the inhibition of breast cancer lung metastasis. Modified nanoprecipitation method was used to prepare SchB-F-LPNs. The nanoparticles were spherical in shape with shell-core structure by TEM observation. SchB-F-LPNs showed a mean particle size of(234.60±6.11) nm with zeta potential of(-5.88±0.49) mV. XRD results indicated that SchB existed in the nanoparticles in an amorphous state. The apparent permeability coefficient through porcine mucus of F-LPNs was 1.43-fold of that of LPNs as shown in the in vitro mucus penetration study. The pharmacokinetics study showed that the C_(max) of SchB was(369.06±146.94) μg·L~(-1),(1 121.34±91.65) μg·L~(-1) and(2 951.91±360.53) μg·L~(-1) respectively in SchB suspensions group, SchB-LPNs group and SchB-F-LPNs group after oral administration in rats. With SchB suspensions as the reference formulation, the relative bioavailability of SchB-F-LPNs was 568.60%. SchB-F-LPNs inhibited the morphological change during transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition. In addition, SchB-F-LPNs significantly decreased the number of metastatic pulmonary nodules in 4 T1 tumor-bearing mice, suggesting that SchB-F-LPNs may inhibit the metastasis of breast cancer. These results reveal the promising potential of SchB-F-LPNs in treatment of breast cancer lung metastasis.

Abstract
The nodal-line semimetals have attracted immense interest due to the unique electronic structures such as the linear dispersion and the vanishing density of states as the Fermi energy approaching the nodes. Here, we report temperature-dependent transport and scanning tunneling microscopy (spectroscopy) [STM(S)] measurements on nodal-line semimetal ZrSiSe. Our experimental results and theoretical analyses consistently demonstrate that the temperature induces Lifshitz transitions at 80 and 106 K in ZrSiSe, which results in the transport anomalies at the same temperatures. More strikingly, we observe a V-shaped dip structure around Fermi energy from the STS spectrum at low temperature, which can be attributed to co-effect of the spin-orbit coupling and excitonic instability. Our observations indicate the correlation interaction may play an important role in ZrSiSe, which owns the quasi-two-dimensional electronic structures.

Background:The association between IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and malignancies is unclear. No epidemiological data for malignancies in Chinese IgG4-RD patients is available. It is also important to know the risk factors and prognosis for IgG4-RD patients harboring malignancies.Objectives:To investigate the incidence, related factors and prognosis of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) with malignancies in the Chinese cohort.Table 1.Baseline characteristic of IgG4-RD patients with malignancyPatientSexAgeAge at diagnosis of IgG4-RDAge at diagnosis of malignancySerum IgG4(g/L)Organs involvements of IgG4-RD(*Organ with biopsy)Sites of malignancyP1F5958541499Parotid gland*, salivary glandBreast cancerP2M74666810402Pancreas, bile duct, retroperitoneal fibrosis, kidney, prostate, lymph nodesRectal cancerP3M4642402630Lacrimal gland, parotid glandLipoblastomaP4M7068645780Pancreas, bile duct, lung, prostate, lymph nodesThyroid carcinomaP5F62616111600Pancreas, bile duct, salivary gland*, periaortitis, lymph nodes, pituitaryThyroid carcinomaP6M7268683490Pancreas, bile duct, lymph nodesRectal cancerP7M6058582410Pancreas, bile duct, lymph nodesRenal cancerP8M6863683520Pancreas, bile duct, retroperitoneal fibrosis, lung, kidney, artery, lymph nodesRectal cancerP9M36303512400Pancreas, bile ductSkin cancerP10M52495210000Pancreas, parotid gland*, lacrimal gland, lung, prostate, lymph nodesThyroid carcinomaP11F70686917300Parotid gland, lacrimal gland, salivary gland, sinusLung cancerP12M82797958000Pancreas, lacrimal gland*Colon cancerP13F50494514300Uterus*, ovaryOvarian carcinomaP14F52465010000Parotid gland*, lacrimal glandBreast cancerP15F60555712500Pancreas, parotid gland, lacrimal gland, lymph nodes, sinusLymphomaP16M4237407490Lung*, lymph nodesRenal cancerP17M716869415Pancreas*, bile ductProstate cancerTable 2.Related factors for malignancies in patients with IgG4-RDVariablesUnivariate analysisMultivariate analysisUnivariate OR (95%Cl)P-valueMultivariate OR (95%Cl)P-valueHead and Neck involvement0.304 (0.097- 0.952)0.0410.604 (0.152-2.401)0.474Autoimmune pancreatitis5.359 (1.651-17.393)0.0056.230 (1.559-24.907)0.010Eosinophilia0.117 (0.014-0.966)0.0460.094 (0.010-0.883)0.039Figure 1.Standardized incidence ratios of malignancies in patients with IgG4-RD from different studies.Methods:We prospectively analyzed the IgG4-RD patients recruited in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2011 to August 2018 and identified patients diagnosed with IgG4-RD complicating malignancies. Data regarding demographics, clinical features, treatment and prognosis of IgG4-RD patients complicating malignancies were collected and compared to those of age- and sex-matched controls.Results:Among the 587 Chinese patients with IgG4-RD, 17 malignancies were identified. Ten of them developed malignancy after the diagnosis of IgG4-RD, given a standard incidence ratio (SIR) of 2.78 (95%CI 1.33-5.12). Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that autoimmune pancreatitis (OR= 6.230, 95%CI 1.559-24.907, p=0.010) was positively associated with malignancy, whereas eosinophilia (OR= 0.094, 95%CI 0.010-0.883, p=0.039) was negatively related with malignancies. During a median follow-up period of 61.4±26.4 months, all patients with IgG4-RD and malignancies survived.Conclusion:An increased incidence of malignancy was found in Chinese IgG4-RD cohort. Autoimmune pancreatitis is a potential risk factor, whereas eosinophilia is a possible protective factor for complicating malignancies.References:[1] Wallace, Z. S.,et al.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between donor chimerism and relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) . Methods: The clinical data of 105 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who underwent allo-HSCT and recurrence-free survival>90 days from January 2010 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The bone marrow samples were collected at 15, 30, 60, 90, 180, 270, 360 days after transplantation. Donor chimerism was detected by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) -PCR. Results: Of the 105 patients, 43 cases were male and 62 cases were female, with a median age of 38 (16-60) years. Till April 2019, the median follow-up was 843 (94-3 261) days. Ninety days after transplantation, 18 cases relapsed, 33 cases died, and 72 cases survived. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was (66.8±5.1) %, and the recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate was (65.1±5.0) %. Pre-transplant disease status, pre-transplant minimal residual disease (MRD) , and 90 day post-transplantation chimerism were independent risk factors related to RFS. The risk of recurrence was significantly increased in patients with a donor chimerism rate ≤97.24% at 90 days after transplantation[HR=6.921 (95%CI 2.669-17.950) , P<0.001], which was considered as a sign of early relapse. Conclusion: SNP-PCR is an applicable method for detecting donor chimerism in patients after allo-HSCT. Chimerism rate equal or less than 97.24% at 90 days after transplantation predicts a higher risk of relapse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have revealed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) may hold crucial triggers of the pathogenesis of hematological malignancies, while the studies evaluating the expression pattern of lncRNA in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are few. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the implication of lncRNA expression pattern in AML development and progression. METHODS Bone marrow samples from four AML patients and four controls were subjected to lncRNA sequencing. Then, bone marrow samples from 110 AML patients and 40 controls were proposed to real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) validation for 10 candidate lncRNAs. Clinical data and survival profiles were recorded in AML patients. Furthermore, lncRNA RP4-576H24.2 expression in AML cell lines and its effect on AML cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected. RESULTS LncRNA expression pattern by sequencing clearly distinguished AML patients from controls, and 630 upregulated and 621 downregulated lncRNAs were identified in AML patients compared to controls, which were mainly enriched in AML oncogene-related biological process and pathways (such as neutrophil degranulation, leukocyte transendothelial migration, and hematopoietic cell lineage). RT-qPCR validation observed that six lncRNAs correlated with AML risk, one lncRNA associated with risk stratification, and three lncRNAs correlated with survivals, among which lncRNA RP4-576H24.2 was the only one correlated with AML susceptibility, risk stratification, and survivals. Further in vitro experiments showed that lncRNA RP4-576H24.2 was upregulated in AML cell lines compared to normal bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs), and promoted proliferation while inhibited apoptosis in HL-60 and KG-1 cells. CONCLUSIONS LncRNA expression pattern is closely involved in the development and progression of AML, and several specific lncRNAs exhibit potential to be biomarkers for AML risk and prognosis. Besides, lncRNA RP4-576H24.2 might be a potential oncogene in AML pathogenesis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relations of foramen rotundum structure direction and surrounding structure systematically in order to choose the best approach of percutaneous puncturing of radiofrequency thermocoagulation for treating V2 of primary trigeminal neuralgia. Methods: A total of 122 patients with V2 of primary trigeminal neuralgia for radiofrequency thermocoagulation were enrolled from August 2012 to May 2017 at the First Hospital of Jiaxing. CT scan images were observed retrospectively, to find the inside and outside of the foramen rotundum. The direction of foramen rotundum were recorded and the best approach of puncturing were analyzed. Results: The images were divided into four quadrants with the semi - coronal CT scan plane of the lower margin of the zygomatic arch and the outer edge of foramen rotundum for horizontal axis, and the sagittal plane for the vertical axis. In 122 cases, foramen rotundum direction in outer upper quadrant were 77 cases(63.1%), and in outer under quadrant were 22 cases(18.0%), and in inner upper quadrant were 19 cases(15.6%), and in inner under quadrant were 4 cases(3.3%). Conclusion: The most common foramen rotundum direction is in outer upper quadrant, so the best approach of percutaneous puncturing of radiofrequency thermocoagulation for treating V2 of primary trigeminal neuralgia is the upper side against zygomatic and the inner side against the wall of maxillary sinus.

Abstract
A number of experimental and computational studies have demonstrated the key roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) acting as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) in the tumorigenesis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAC). However, there remains a requirement for prognostic candidate biomarkers acting as ceRNAs for the prediction of overall survival in patients with LUAC. The main goal of the present study was to identify novel lncRNAs associated with LUAC overall survival and assess their prognostic values. The study analyzed coding RNA and ncRNA expression profiles of patients with LUAC by retrieving existing RNA-sequencing datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas database, and 2,507 differentially expressed mRNAs, 1,633 lncRNAs and 113 miRNAs were screened from patients with LUAC compared with those of adjacent normal samples (P<0.01 and |logFC|>2). Of these LUAC-specific RNAs, 134 lncRNAs, 21 miRNAs and 34 mRNAs were used to build an lncRNA-mRNA-miRNA ceRNA network, among which 8 lncRNAs and 9 mRNAs were associated with overall survival in patients with LUAC by acting as ceRNAs. Next, an lncRNA-based prognostic signature was constructed by risk scoring approach based on the expression levels of 9 prognosis-associated lncRNAs using Cox's regression analysis. Moreover, the prognostic capacity of the 9-lncRNA signature was independent of known clinical prognostic factors. These results provide novel insight into the potential of lncRNA ceRNAs to be candidate biomarkers associated with LUAC overall survival.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the ideal procedure of excision and repair for giant desmoid in the abdominal wall and long-termed follow-up results. Methods: Clinical and follow-up data of 24 patients with giant desmoid in the abdominal wall underwent radical removal and immediate abdominal wall reconstruction in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Center of Hernia and Abdominal Wall Diseases, First Affiliated Hospital of People's Liberation Army General Hospital from October 2006 to October 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. Twenty-one female patients with the mean age of 34.6 years and 3 male patients with the mean age of 42.6 years were recruited. The minimal diameter of these tumors was 15 cm, and the maximal diameter was from xiphoid bone to pubic symphysis. Results: All of desmoids were removed radically and proved by the rapid pathologic examination. The size of abdominal wall defect after desmoids removal were 483 (21 cm×23 cm) to 2 100 cm(2) (35 cm×60 cm), averaged 945 cm(2) (27 cm×35 cm). All of defects were repaired with compound synthetic prosthesis using bridging procedure. Twenty-one patients were recovered smoothly and got primary wound healing. Three patients had prosthesis infected during 1 month postoperatively and 1 patient recovered with conservative therapy, the other 2 patients underwent infected prosthesis removal at 2 weeks and 3 months postoperatively, respectively. Twenty-two patients were followed up with the period of 12 to 121 months and the median period was 63 months. No marginal neoplasm recurrence, incisional hernia, and abdominal wall bulge happened. Eight patients developped fresh desmoids in the abdominal cavity or in the back. Two patients died because of intestinal obstruction due to desmoid infiltration, and the other 6 patients still survived along with stable desmoids. Conclusions: Radical removal for patients with giant desmoid in the abdominal wall is an ideal therapeutic method, and compound synthetic patch can be used to repair huge abdominal wall defect, even the defect compromised all of abdominal wall. The long-termed follow-up results showed these procedures had not put bad influence on the quality of patients' life.

Spectral waveforms of these arteries were observed, and palms temperature (T), oxygen saturation (SpO(2)), perfusion index (PI) were also measured. Diameters, PSV, EDV, RI, T, SpO(2) and PI of the patients with PH were compared before and after the surgery. The effect of operation was also evaluated. Results: Before surgery, diameters and EDV of the radial and ulnar arteries of the patients with PH were(2.12±0.36) mm, (1.50±0.32) mm, (4.90±1.84) cm/s, (4.71±1.65) cm/s, respectively, after surgery, the diameter of the RA, UA and EDV were (2.45±0.54) mm, (1.87±0.44) mm, (9.37±1.69) cm/s and (9.12±1.54) cm/s, which were significantly increased.Before surgery, RI of the RA and UA of the patients were (0.85±0.05), (0.97±0.07) , respectively, after surgery, RI of the RA and UA were (0.57±0.04), (0.64±0.09), respectively, which were significantly decreased after surgery. The difference was statistically significant (t=-5.23, -2.33, -19.80, -14.68, 3.31, 3.48, all P<0.01). Before surgery, PSV of the RA and UA of the patients were (46.38±15.12) cm/s, (45.60±14.88) cm/s , respectively, after surgery, PSV of the RA and UA were (46.93±16.02) cm/s, (46.19±15.30) cm/s , respectively. The difference was not statistically significant (t=-0.23, -1.39, all P>0.05). Before surgery, T, SpO(2) and PI of the patients were(29.7±1.04) ℃, (93.24±2.23) %, (1.11±0.13) % , respectively, after surgery, T, SpO(2) and PI of the patients were (35.09±1.21) ℃, (98.10±1.34) %, (4.77±1.22)% , respectively. The difference was statistically significant (t=-20.174, -1.140, -23.601, all P<0.05). The symptoms of hyperhidrosis of the patients were disappeared immediately after the surgery in both hands. All of the patients were cured within 3 months and there was no severe complications. Conclusion: Thoracic sympathetic block increase Diameters and EDV but decrease RI of the radial and ulnar arteries of the patients with PH and increase the palms temperature. Artery diameters, EDV, and RI measured by ultrasound can be used as parameters to evaluate the effect of thoracic sympathetic block in patients with PH. It's objective, non-invasive and convenient.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A national survey on critical values in hematology of China laboratories was conducted to determine the current practice and assess the quality indicators so as to obtain a quality improvement. METHODS Laboratories participating were asked to submit the general information, the practice of critical value reporting, and the status of timeliness of critical value reporting. RESULTS A total of 862 laboratories submitted the results. The majority of participants have included white blood cell count, blood platelet count, hemoglobin, prothrombin time, and activated partial thromboplastin time in their critical value lists. Many sources are used for establishing a critical value policy, and some of the laboratories consult with clinicians. The unreported critical value rate, late critical value reporting rate, and clinically unacknowledged rate in China are relatively low, and the median of critical value reporting time is 8-9 minutes. CONCLUSION There exists a wide variety for critical value reporting in hematology in China. Laboratories should establish a policy of critical value reporting suited for their own situations and consult with clinicians to set critical value lists. Critical values are generally reported in a timely manner in China, but some measures should be taken to further improve the timeliness of critical value reporting.

Abstract
This paper reports the diagnosis and treatment of 2 cases of acute schistosomiasis with ectopic lesion in the lung. It suggests that in schistosomiasis endemic areas, if the patients with the contact history of infested water have the symptom of fever, while the effects of anti-infection and the corresponding treatments are not good, the clinician should consider acute schistosomiasis.

Abstract
Studies have shown that the cerebrospinal fluid‑contacting nucleus (CSF‑CN) may be associated with the transduction and regulation of pain signals. However, the role of the CSF‑CN remains to be elucidated. Emerging evidence has suggested that neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) is important in the development of visceral pain and hyperalgesia, however, whether NK1R exists in the CSF‑CN and its exact role in visceral pain remain to be fully elucidated. In the present study, double‑labeled immunofluorescence staining and western blot analysis were performed to investigate this. It was revealed that NK1R was distributed in the CSF‑CN. Following the induction of visceral pain by formalin instillation, NK1R in the CSF‑CN was upregulated. In addition, by observing the behaviors of rats subjected to visceral pain, it was found that visceral pain was relieved by lateral intracerbroventricular injection of the NK1R antagonist, RP67580. These data provided a broader understanding of the role of NK1R in the CSF‑CN and demonstrated that the CSF‑CN was involved in acute visceral pain via the regulation of NK1R.

Abstract
Essentials Predicting the occurrence of portosplenomesenteric vein thrombosis (PSMVT) is difficult. We studied 72 patients with acute pancreatitis. Artificial neural networks modeling was more accurate than logistic regression in predicting PSMVT. Additional predictive factors may be incorporated into artificial neural networks. SUMMARY Objective To construct and validate artificial neural networks (ANNs) for predicting the occurrence of portosplenomesenteric venous thrombosis (PSMVT) and compare the predictive ability of the ANNs with that of logistic regression. Methods The ANNs and logistic regression modeling were constructed using simple clinical and laboratory data of 72 acute pancreatitis (AP) patients. The ANNs and logistic modeling were first trained on 48 randomly chosen patients and validated on the remaining 24 patients. The accuracy and the performance characteristics were compared between these two approaches by SPSS17.0 software. Results The training set and validation set did not differ on any of the 11 variables. After training, the back propagation network training error converged to 1 × 10-20 , and it retained excellent pattern recognition ability. When the ANNs model was applied to the validation set, it revealed a sensitivity of 80%, specificity of 85.7%, a positive predictive value of 77.6% and negative predictive value of 90.7%. The accuracy was 83.3%. Differences could be found between ANNs modeling and logistic regression modeling in these parameters (10.0% [95% CI, -14.3 to 34.3%], 14.3% [95% CI, -8.6 to 37.2%], 15.7% [95% CI, -9.9 to 41.3%], 11.8% [95% CI, -8.2 to 31.8%], 22.6% [95% CI, -1.9 to 47.1%], respectively). When ANNs modeling was used to identify PSMVT, the area under receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.849 (95% CI, 0.807-0.901), which demonstrated better overall properties than logistic regression modeling (AUC = 0.716) (95% CI, 0.679-0.761). Conclusions ANNs modeling was a more accurate tool than logistic regression in predicting the occurrence of PSMVT following AP. More clinical factors or biomarkers may be incorporated into ANNs modeling to improve its predictive ability.

Abstract
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been widely used to identify altered intrinsic local neural activities and global networks of tinnitus patients. In this study, functional connectivity density (FCD) mapping, a newly developed voxelwise data-driven method based on fMRI, was applied for the first time to measure the functional reorganization pattern in thirty-two unilateral pulsatile tinnitus (PT) patients in the early stage of disease (less than 48 months). FCD analysis was employed to compute short-range and long-range FCD values. A correlation analysis with clinical variables was also performed. Compared with normal controls, PT patients showed significantly increased short-range FCD, mainly in the precuneus (PCu), bilateral inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and middle occipital gyrus (MOG), and increased long-range FCD in the PCu, posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), and bilateral middle frontal gyrus (MFG). In addition, correlation analysis showed positive correlations between PT duration and short-range FCD values in the right MOG. Positive correlations were also found between the disease duration and the long-range FCD value in the PCC. The increased short-/long-range FCD in bilateral dorsal visual areas indicated that the enhanced pathway between the auditory cortex and bilateral dorsal visual areas may have activated the "auditory occipital activations" (AOAs) pathway. The bilaterally altered FCD values in the dorsal visual areas reflected the cooperation of different brain areas. This study is a foundation of the connectivity research in PT patients. Our work may advance the understanding of the disrupted neural network of patients with PT.

Abstract
Selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeting KIT and PDGFRA is the frontline therapy for metastatic and unresectable GIST patients. Some initially responsive patients experience tumor progress because of secondary drug resistance, and some cases can develop heterogeneous differentiation. Here we report a rare case of recurrent retroperitoneal extra-GIST with rhabdomyosarcomatous and chondrosarcomatous differentiation with TKI therapy after surgical tumorectomy. Histology, immunohistochemistry, and mutational analysis were performed on primary and recurrent samples. The current case represents the first report of a recurrent retroperitoneal extra-GIST harboring mixed morphologic phenotypes of rhabdomyosarcoma and chondrosarsoma after TKI treatment. The dual differentiation can represent diagnostic pitfall.

Abstract
Numerous studies have shown that neurological changes are important findings of tinnitus patients. Previous studies on tinnitus have indicated that patients with pulsatile tinnitus (PT) often show altered baseline brain activity in the resting state. This study used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to investigate changes in spontaneous brain activity among patients with unilateral pulsatile tinnitus in the early stage of disease (less than forty-eight months) and determined the relationship of these changes with clinical data. The PT patients (n=34) and matched normal control subjects (n=34) were enrolled in this study. Spontaneous brain activity was revealed by the regional homogeneity (ReHo) and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) values. Compared with normal controls, the patients with PT had significantly increased ReHo and ALFF in the posterior cingulate cortex, right inferior parietal lobule (IPL) and right cerebellum posterior lobe. The PT group showed increased ReHo in the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), precuneus, right IPL, right superior frontal gyrus, some occipital areas and part of the right cerebellum posterior lobe. For ALFF, the increased clusters were in the PCC and precuneus and in some areas of the cerebellum posterior lobe, bilateral IPL and inferior frontal gyrus (IFG). Increased PT duration was correlated with increased ALFF in the bilateral inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and precuneus. An increased THI score was correlated with ReHo and ALFF values in the precuneus. Taken together, the combined study of ReHo and ALFF measurements may yield a more comprehensive neurological pathophysiology framework for PT patients in the early stage of the disease.

Abstract
The contribution of the cerebrospinal fluid-contacting nucleus (CSF-contacting nucleus) and adrenomedullin (ADM) to the developmental modulation of stressful events remains controversial. This study explored the effects of endogenous ADM in the CSF-contacting nucleus on immobilization of stress-induced physiological parameter disorders and glucocorticoid hormone releasing hormone (CRH), rat plasma corticosterone expression, and verification of such effects by artificially lowering ADM expression in the CSF-contacting nucleus by targeted ablation of the nucleus. Immunohistochemical experiments showed that ADM-like immunoreactivity and the calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) marker were localized in the CSF-contacting nucleus. After 7 continuous days of chronic immobilization stress (CIS), animals exhibited anxiety-like behavior. Also, an increase in serum corticosterone, and enhanced expression of ADM in the CSF-contacting nucleus were observed, following activation by CIS. The intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of the ADM receptor antagonist AM22-52 significantly reduced ADM in the CSF-contacting nucleus, additionally, blocked the effects of ADM, meaning the expression of CRH in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (Pa) and serum corticosterone level were increased, and the physiological parameters of the rats became correspondingly deteriorated. Additionally, the i.c.v. administration of cholera toxin subunit B-saporin (CB-SAP), a cytotoxin coupled to a cholera toxin subunit, completely eliminated the CSF-contacting nucleus, worsening the reaction of the body to CIS. The collective results demonstrated that ADM acted as a stress-related peptide in the CSF-contacting nucleus, and its lower expression and blocked effects in the nucleus contributed to the deterioration of stress-induced physiologic parameter disorders as well as the excessive expressions of stress-related hormones which were part of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of devascularization and shunt on patients with portal hypertension. METHODS Relevant studies compared devascularization and shunt for the treatment of portal hypertension were identified searching the PubMed, Embase, Elsevier, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) database and Cochrane Trial Register searches until December 2013. Data of interest for devascularization and shunt including postoperative recurrent bleeding, postoperative hepatic encephalopathy,ascites, operative mortality rate, and long term survival rate were subjected to meta-analysis. RESULTS Eleven studies were included in the study, the results of the meta-analysis showed that all eleven clinical studies demonstrated a significantly higher postoperative recurrent bleeding rate with devascularization group than with shunt group (Odds Ratio =2.14, 95% CI =(1.42, 3.21), P = 0.0003),the rate of hepatic encephalopathy in the devascularization group was significantly lower compared with the shunt group (Odds Ratio =0.56, 95% CI =(0.38, 0.82), P = 0.003); Our meta-analysis of three clinical studies revealed that the reduction of ascites in the devascularization group was significantly less than the shunt groups (Odds Ratio =0.48, 95% CI =(0.26, 0.89), P = 0.02), the operative mortality rate was not significantly different between the devascularization group than for shunt group (Odds Ratio =1.54, 95% CI = (0.91,2.63), P = 0.11). And the long-term survival rate was not significantly different between the devascularization and shunt groups (Odds=1.13, ratio, 95% CI =(0.64, 1.99), P = 0.68). CONCLUSIONS Devascularization and shunt have different advantages and disadvantages respectively which reflected in postoperative complications and long term survival rate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of CD147 gene on the proliferation and infiltration of a human monocytic leukemic cell line SHI-1. METHODS The expression of CD147 in SHI-1 cells was knockdowned by the lentiviral vector. The expressions of CD147, MMP-2 and MMP-9 were detected by semiquantitative RT-PCR. The protein of CD147 was detected by Western blotting. The capabilities of proliferation and infiltration of SHI-1 cell were examined by MTT and trans- matrigel invasion assay co-cultured with leukemia BMSC in vitro. SHI-1 cells were inoculated subcutaneously or via tail vein into nude mice to investigate its growth and infiltrative ability in vivo. RESULTS The mRNA and protein of CD147 in SHI-1/CD147i cells decreased by 85% and 91%, respectively after the SHI-1 cells were infected by the lentivirus containing the CD147 siRNA. The proliferation capability of SHI-1/CD147i cells significantly decreased than those of SHI-1 and SHI-1/NC cells. The mRNA expressions of MMP-2, MMP-9 in SHI-1/CD147i cells were significantly lower than those in SHI-1/NC and SHI-1 cells. The SHI-1/CD147i cells showed significantly lower invasion rate than SHI-1 cells and SHI-1/NC cells when co-cultured with BMSCs. The neoplasms formed by SHI-1/CD147i cells in the subcutaneous of mice were significantly smaller than of the neoplasms formed by SHI-1 and SHI-1/NC cells. In nude mice inoculated via caudal vein with SHI/CD147i cells, mice demonstrated longer survival and moderate infiltration characteristic than those inoculated with SHI and SHI-1/NC cells. CONCLUSION CD147 might play important roles in the proliferation and infiltration of leukemia cells. CD147 should be a potential target for the treatment of acute leukemia.

Abstract
Numerous investigations studying the brain functional activity of the tinnitus patients have indicated that neurological changes are important findings of this kind of disease. However, the pulsatile tinnitus (PT) patients were excluded in previous studies because of the totally different mechanisms of the two subtype tinnitus. The aim of this study is to investigate whether altered baseline brain activity presents in patients with PT using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) technique. The present study used unilateral PT patients (n = 42) and age-, sex-, and education-matched normal control subjects (n = 42) to investigate the changes in structural and amplitude of low-frequency (ALFF) of the brain. Also, we analyzed the relationships between these changes with clinical data of the PT patients. Compared with normal controls, PT patients did not show any structural changes. PT patients showed significant increased ALFF in the bilateral precuneus, and bilateral inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and decreased ALFF in multiple occipital areas. Moreover, the increased THI score and PT duration was correlated with increased ALFF in precuneus and bilateral IFG. The abnormalities of spontaneous brain activity reflected by ALFF measurements in the absence of structural changes may provide insights into the neural reorganization in PT patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurofibromatosis with gastrointestinal stromal tumours have been reported several times, while neurofibromatosis with retroperitoneal stromal tumours are very rare. CASE DESCRIPTION We report the case of a 44-year-old man with a long history of neurofibromatosis. He complained of severe constipation and left leg pain. The patient's examination showed prominent peripheral cutaneous neurofibromas mainly in the belly and limbs, especially a huge mass in his abdomen, no less than ten café-au-lait spots, four Lisch nodules of the iris. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a round and lobular mass in the retroperitoneal space. It was a well-circumscribed, hypervascular mass with cystic necrosis. A surgical resection was performed, and pathology and immunohistochemistry findings were consistent with stromal tumour. The c-kit gene and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α gene mutations are not observed in the specimen. CONCLUSIONS Neurofibromatosis with retroperitoneal stromal tumour is very rare, and radiological, pathological and immunohistochemical examination may identify it. Surgical resection may be the unique method of cure for it.
