Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between the distribution of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) in EBV associated lymphoepitheliomatoid carcinoma (LELC) and the pathological subtypes of LELC, as well as the clinical significance of TIL distribution. Methods: The LELC patients with sufficient tumor tissues, complete clinical data and positive EBER, who visited Zhejiang Cancer Hospital, Hangzhou, China from January 2006 to October 2018, were selected. Various immunohistochemical markers (CD20, CD138, CD4, CD8, CD56 and FOXP3) were examined for TIL typing. Two pathologists reviewed the hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining sections and interpreted the immunohistochemical results. Correlation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between the distribution of TIL subgroups and LELC's pathological characteristics. Survival analyses were conducted to study the prognostic values of TIL subgrouping. Results: A total of 102 patients with EBV related LELC were included. 46 of them were classic LELC (c-LELC) with rich interstitial TIL, and 56 were non-classic LELC (n-LELC) with relatively fewer interstitial TIL. The results of TIL analysis showed that all subtypes of c-LELC were rich in TIL, with B lymphocytes as the dominant subgroup. The number of TIL in n-LELC was fewer than that in c-LELC, with T lymphocytes as the dominant subgroup. There was no significant difference in the distribution of plasma cells between the two groups. Survival analysis showed that the total number of TIL, and the infiltrations of CD20+B cells, CD4+T cells, and FOXP3+Treg cells were associated with better overall survivals (P=0.004, 0.003, 0.008 and 0.025, respectively) and disease-free survivals (P=0.011, 0.003, 0.038 and 0.041, respectively) in patients with LELC. Conclusions: The morphologic subtypes of EBV-related LELC have different tumor immune characteristics. The total number of TIL in the stroma of c-LELC is significantly higher than that of n-LELC. Interestingly, B lymphocytes are the dominant TIL in c-LELC, while T lymphocytes are the dominant TIL in n-LELC. The infiltration of TIL, CD20+B cells, CD4+T cells and FOXP3+Treg cells in LELC may suggest a better prognosis.

Abstract
Nighteen people at a restaurant experienced dizziness headaches and other discomforts in six days. According to the description method, the time and location distribution were found to be concentrated. A second Investigation was conducted at the same time as the onset of the case, the test found that the carbon monoxide concentration of second floor up to 539 mg/m(3). The on-site testing found that when 2 steam generator in snack room on the first floor turned on, the carbon monoxide concentration on the top of elevator on the second floor was 1225.0 mg/m(3). After the accident, the restaurant replaced a steam generator, the carbon monoxide concentration on the top of the new and old steam generator were 350 mg/m(3) and >1 000 mg/m(3), respectively. After the steam generators were fitted with exhaust smoke pipe and exhasust hood, the carbon monoxide concentrations of on the top of the vegetable transfer elevator and the room on the second floor were both 0.4 mg/m(3), and there were no cases of recurrence. It was determined that this was a carbon monoxide poisoning incident caused by a high concentration of carbon monoxide emitted by the steam generators, which spread to the second floor of the private room through the vegetable transfer elevator.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) infection epidemic characteristics of Guangdong Province from 2011 to 2015. Methods: We colleted data on common cases of hand-foot-mouth disease infected with EV-A71 reported from eight sentinel hospitals in Guangdong Province from January 2011 to December 2015, through the "Guangdong Province Acute Infectious Disease Surveillance Information Platform System" , including the age and incidence of cases. Time and etiological data, etc.We also collected data on the number of reported cases of HFMD disease and the number of laboratory-confirmed cases, through the "China Disease Prevention and Control Information System" , including data on common cases of HFMD disease, data on epidemics of severe cases and deaths, and the age, onset time, and pathogens of cases. Learning data, etc.The data from two sources were used to estimate the incidence of HFMD in EV-A71 and describe its distribution characteristics.Chi-square test was used to compare the positive rate of HF-A71 infection in hand-foot-mouth disease and the difference in estimated incidence among different age groups and months. Results: Eight sentinel hospitals from 2011 to 2015 reported a total of 1 855 common cases of EV-A71 infection, of which the highest was in 2014 (31.6%, 605/1 916) and the lowest was in 2015 (6.8%, 134/1 971) (χ(2)=521.85, P<0.001).According to the Disease Surveillance Reporting Information System, 1 772 516 cases of HFMD disease were reported from 2011 to 2015 in Guangdong Province, and 1 902 cases of severe and fatal cases of EV-A71 infection.The composition ratio of EV-A71 infected was 72.6% (1 775/2 444) and 97.0% (127/131) of severe HFMD disease in Guangdong province during 2011-2015.The average annual incidence of HF-A71 infection in all age groups showed a decreasing trend with age (χ(2trend)=990 273.20, P<0.001), and it was the highest in the 1-year-old group, which was 1 697.67/100 000, and the lowest in the 4-year-old group, which was 705.46/100 000. The difference of monthly average incidence of EV-A71 infection in HF-A71 in each month was statistically significant (χ(2)=401.23, P<0.001), the highest in May at 15.51 per 100 000, and the lowest in July at 9.42 per 100 000. Conclusion: EV-A71 infection rate of ordinary HFMD varies in different years. The most severe and death cases of HFMD were EV-A71 infected. 1 year old children were the high-risk group of infected with EV-A71 HFMD. April was the epidemic months of EV-A71 HFMD infection.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical features of post-splenectomy pulmonary hypertension and effects of its target therapy, and improve the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Methods: Clinical data of 18 patients with post-splenectomy pulmonary hypertension admitted to Fuwai Hospital from October 2006 to March 2017 were systematically reviewed and analyzed. Results: Among the 18 patients with a mean age of (41±11) years old, 11 were women and 7 were men. The interval between splenectomy and the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension was (11±6) years. Shortness of breath (14/18) and chest distress (12/18) were the most common clinical manifestations. Nine patients were in World Health Organization functional class (WHO-FC) Ⅲ-Ⅳ, and two patients were combined with pulmonary embolism. According to the cause of splenectomy, the pulmonary hypertension patients were divided into hepatocirrhosis portal hypertension group (10/18) and non-hepatocirrhosis portal hypertension group (8/18). In hepatocirrhosis portal hypertension group, patients were combined with chronic liver abnormalities presentation, and no pulmonary embolism was found in these patients. Cardiac output and cardiac index were significantly higher (P=0.007 and 0.011, respectively) and pulmonary vascular resistance was significantly lower (P=0.013) in hepatocirrhosis portal hypertension group as compared with non-hepatocirrhosis portal hypertension group. There was no difference in WHO-FC and mean pulmonary arterial pressure between two groups (P=0.448 and 0.379, respectively). After 3 months of target treatment in 8 patients, WHO-FC of 3 patients improved, systolic pulmonary artery measured by ultrasonic cardiogram was significantly decreased[(84±10) vs (71±12) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), P=0.005]and right ventricular end diastolic diameter/left ventricular end diastolic diameter was significantly reduced[(0.78±0.17) vs (0.62±0.16), P=0.010]compared to the baseline. The level of NT-proBNP also tended to be decreased, although not to a significant extent. Conclusions: Post splenectomy pulmonary hypertension has various clinical features. Post splenectomy pulmonary hypertension resulted from hepatocirrhosis portal hypertension has better hemodynamics. Target treatment is effective for the patients with post splenectomy pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize the clinical features of Takayasu arteritis (TA) patients with pulmonary hypertension due to pulmonary artery involvement. METHODS Ninety-four TA patients with pulmonary artery involvement treated in Fuwai Hospital from Jun 1988 to Jun 2014 were retrospectively summarized. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether aorta and its main branches affected (APTA, n=48) or not (PTA, n=46). Clinical features and angiographic data were further analyzed. RESULTS Of all the patients, male to female rate was 1∶3.3, age ranged from 8 to 60 years with median age of 33.5 years when symptom onset. Main symptoms included dyspnea on exertion. Heart murmur and mid-systolic murmur in pulmonic area were commonly found by physical examination. All patients had pulmonary hypertension by echocardiographic examination. Angiographic data showed that multi-lobular and multi-segmental pulmonary branches were predominantly affected, followed by sub-segmental and peripheral branches. Both sides of pulmonary artery involvement were more common than one side involvement, while the right pulmonary arteries were more often affected than the left. Most of the clinical symptoms and signs between APTA group and PTA group were comparable. However, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and N-terminal pro-natriuretic peptide were significant higher in APTA group than that in PTA group when admission [14.0(5.0, 28.0) vs 8.5(3.0, 19.3) mm/1 h and (1 936±1 769) vs (1 627±1 153) ng/L, both P<0.05]. CONCLUSIONS Dyspnea on exertion may be the main manifestation of TA with pulmonary artery involvement. All patients present with pulmonary hypertension and moderate to severe heart failure when symptom onset.

Abstract
The effects of Panax ginseng ethanol extract and its water (WSF)- and lipid-soluble (LSF) fractions on the scopolamine-induced disruption of radial maze performance in rats were examined. Ginseng root was refluxed with ethanol, and WSF and LSF were prepared from this ethanol extract. Scopolamine (0.075-0.3 mg/kg, i.p.) dose-dependently impaired the maze performance. However, the oral administration of Panax ginseng ethanol extract and WSF (2-8 g dried root/kg) 90 min before testing improved the maze performance disrupted by scopolamine (0.3 mg/kg) in a dose-dependent manner, but LSF failed to attenuate the disruption. These data suggest that ginseng extract possesses a beneficial effect regarding spatial cognitive impairment and that the water-soluble fraction of ginseng extract mainly contributes to the effect of the ethanol extract.

Abstract
The effect of Panax ginseng extract on the learning performance of aged Fischer 344 rats using the 8-arm radial maze task and the operant discrimination task was examined. Aged rats showed significantly impaired learning performance in both tasks. Daily administration of ginseng extract (8 g/kg/d, p.o. for 12-33 d) ameliorated the impairment of learning performance in the radial maze task but not in the operant discrimination task. These results suggest that subchronic treatment with ginseng extract improves spatial cognitive impairment in aged rats.

Abstract
To examine the working memory performance, gerbils were tested in the delayed nonmatching to position task using a T-maze, and the effects of cerebral ischemia on the performance were examined. There were no significant differences between gerbils and rats in the alternation performance without delay and with the interrun intervals ranging from 10 to 810 sec. These data suggest that this task is useful for assessing working memory in gerbils as well as in rats. Scopolamine (0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg) impaired the working memory performance in both species. Bilateral occlusion of the common carotid arteries for 5 min severely impaired the choice accuracy in the gerbils 1 to 3 days after the operation. This memory impairment was observed even at the shortest interval. One month after the operation, partial behavioral recovery was observed in the ischemic gerbils, in spite of a marked loss of the pyramidal cells in the hippocampus CA1 sector. These data indicate that the working memory performance is highly vulnerable to the cerebral ischemia and that the ischemic operation transiently but severely impairs the acquisition process of the working memory in gerbils.

Abstract
Young (5 month) and aged (23 month) male rats were tested in delayed nonmatching to position task using a T-maze, and their ability of working memory retention was assessed over interrun intervals ranging between 5 and 300 sec. There were no significant age differences in pretest performance at 0 sec interval, but significant memory loss was observed in aged rats when tested with the interrun intervals. Physostigmine (0.1 and 0.2 mg/kg) improved this age-related decline in working memory in a dose-dependent manner, whereas the treatment slightly but not significantly improved the performance of young rats. These results suggest that the central cholinergic system in aged rats was functionally deteriorated and that stimulation of the system could enhance working memory retention in aged rats.
