Abstract
BACKGROUND The underlying etiology of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is unknown. T cell deficiency as well as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection had been suspected to be involved in the pathogenesis, but it has been poorly evaluated in JDM patients. METHODS This study described the traits of T and B lymphocyte subsets in newly onset JDM patients and the incidence of EBV infection in JDM patients compared with match controls. Newly developed JDM patients from 2014 to 2018 were included in the study. Lymphocytes with different markers (CD3+, CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+, CD3-CD19+ and CD3-CD16+CD56+) were tested with flow cytometry in the first admission or after 6 months of treatment. Statistical analysis was conducted to compare the EBV infection in the group of JDM patients and controls. RESULTS We observed that JDM patients had higher positive rate of Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen-immunoglobulin G (IgG) (P < 0.0001) as well as EBV capsid antigen-IgG (P < 0.05) than normal controls. CD3-CD16+CD56+ lymphocyte was found to be extremely low in early stage of JDM patients, but increased after 6 months of treatment (P = 0.0091). CONCLUSIONS The level of CD3-CD16+CD56+ cells may associate with the clinical course of JDM. EBV may act as an environmental factor predisposing patients to the development of JDM.

Abstract
Lymphoepithelioma-like cholangiocarcinoma (LELCC) is a rare intrahepatic tumor. There are usually no specific physical findings, and the tumors are often diagnosed incidentally and are frequently large-sized at diagnosis. The imaging findings of LELCC resemble those of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Tumors are often found in large-sized and advanced at diagnosis, and the main treatment of the disease is surgical resection. Herein, we report treating a patient with early stage LELCC by radiofrequency ablation (RFA). We diagnosed this tumor in a 27-year-old Chinese female with a history of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Based on the findings of blood examination, abdominal ultrasonography, and gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), this tumor was diagnosed as suspected HCC. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous tumor biopsy and RFA were performed at the same time. The histopathological findings finally revealed the diagnosis of LELCC. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report, in the English-language literature, of the treatment of LELCC by RFA; we suggest that RFA might be a candidate treatment for small-sized early stage LELCC.

Abstract
Composite lymphoma (CL) is a very rare clinical entity defined by the presence of two or more different subtypes of lymphoma in the same lymph node. We report a case of CL in a 78-year-old male presenting with leukocytosis and swelling of multiple lymph nodes. A left axillary node biopsy showed atypical lymphocytes in both the interfollicular and follicular areas. Immunohistochemistry revealed that mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) was mainly present in the interfollicular area and follicular lymphoma (FL) was present in the follicular area. Polymerase chain reaction analysis of immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangements confirmed that they were clonally related neoplasms. However, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA was detected in only FL cells, suggesting that MCL and FL had split into two clones in the early steps of pathogenesis. This is the first reported case of CL with EBV-negative B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and EBV-positive B-cell NHL with a clonal relationship. We discuss the developmental processes of these two lymphomas.

Abstract
A 78-year-old man with a subepithelial lesion (SEL) in the gastric body and two carcinomas in the gastric antrum was referred to our hospital. Following a diagnosis of SEL, the patient was followed-up by esophagogastroduodenoscopy annually for 4 years. Although the SEL had increased in size over the years, histological evaluation of the forceps biopsies did not reveal any significant findings. We detected a hypoechoic mass in the submucosa by endoscopic ultrasonography, and suspected the lesion to be an aberrant pancreas or mesenchymal tumor. The patient first underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection for the 2 gastric cancers. Histological examination of the resected specimens revealed intramucosal well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinomas. Next, endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) was performed for the gastric SEL. Aspirated specimens revealed an adenocarcinoma with lymphocyte infiltration. The lesion was diagnosed as a gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma (GCLS). Subsequently, he underwent distal gastrectomy, and the surgical specimen was confirmed as GCLS corresponding to preoperative diagnosis. In addition, the adenocarcinoma cells were positive for Epstein-Barr (EB) virus-encoded small RNA-1 by in situ hybridization. Finally, the lesion was diagnosed as GCLS associated with EB virus. Thus, EUS-FNA is advantageous for diagnosing GCLS associated with EB virus.

Abstract
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a unique head and neck malignancy with highly metastatic cell-biological characteristics, for which latent EBV-infection is responsible. Our earlier studies showed that EGF-stimulated Ca2+ signaling via store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) was amplified in NPC cells expressing EBV-encoded LMP1, thus contributing to EBV-enhanced metastatic capacities. However, the pathway through which EBV modulates cytosolic Ca2+ signaling still remains unclear. Here, we demonstrated that EBV-infection amplified EGF-stimulated Ca2+ responses through the promotion of intracellular aggregation of STIM1, which serves as a Ca2+ sensor to activate SOCE. Blockage of EBV-remodeled Ca2+ signaling by STIM1-silencing inhibited cell migration by interrupting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vitro, and suppressed tumor dissemination in zebrafish and lymph node metastasis in mice. In addition, STIM1 expression was upregulated in primary NPC tissues compared with normal nasopharyngeal epithelium and stronger among the patients with advanced lymph node metastatic disease (N2-3 stage). Our findings thus indicate that EBV promotes metastatic potential by enhancing STIM1-dependent Ca2+ signaling that manipulates EMT in NPC cells. EBV-modulated Ca2+ signaling could serve as a candidate anti-metastatic target for NPC treatment.

Abstract
Patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders (PID) have an increased risk from acute and chronic Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) viral infections and EBV-associated malignancies. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative strategy for many patients with PID, but EBV-related complications are common in the immediate post-transplant period due to delayed reconstitution of T cell immunity. Adoptive T cell therapy with EBV-specific T cells is a promising therapeutic strategy for patients with PID both before and after HSCT. Here we review the methods used to manufacture EBV-specific T cells, the clinical outcomes, and the ongoing challenges for future development of the strategy.

Abstract
What is wild-type Epstein-Barr virus and are there genetic differences in EBV strains that contribute to some of the EBV-associated diseases? Recent progress in DNA sequencing has resulted in many new Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome sequences becoming available. EBV isolates worldwide can be grouped into type 1 and type 2, a classification based on the EBNA2 gene sequence. Type 1 transforms human B cells into lymphoblastoid cell lines much more efficiently than type 2 EBV and molecular mechanisms that may account for this difference in cell transformation are now becoming understood. Study of geographic variation of EBV strains independent of the type 1/type 2 classification and systematic investigation of the relationship between viral strains, infection and disease are now becoming possible. So we should consider more directly whether viral sequence variation might play a role in the incidence of some EBV-associated diseases.
