Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common childhood malignancy, is characterized by molecular aberrations. Recently, genetic profiling has been fully investigated on ALL; however, the interaction between its genetic alterations and clinical features is still unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effects of genetic variants on ALL phenotypes and clinical outcomes. Methods: Targeted exome sequencing technology was used to detect molecular profiling of 140 Chinese pediatric patients with ALL.

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in children, while relapse and refractory ALL remains a leading cause of death in children. However, paired ALL samples of initial diagnosis and relapse subjected to next-generation sequencing (NGS) could construct clonal lineage changes, and help to explore the key issues in the evolutionary process of tumor clones. Therefore, we aim to analyze gene alterations during the initial diagnosis and relapse of ALL patients and to explore the underlying mechanism.

V58. 25 The Historical Origin of the Chinese Taoist and Tai Chi Jian-sheng Wen1and Min Su Department of Physical Education of Northwestern Polytechnical University, ShaanxiXi´an, 710072 Abstract. Chinese martial arts and Taoism has a long historical origin, this article reveals that the formation of tai chi means traditional Chinese Taoist culture having a clear external expression form, at the same time having bidirectional authentication method (inward regimen validated and outward fighting verified). When Chinese Taoists to Zhang Sanfeng, Inner life cultivation and life formed holographic deduction in the universe had been completed. Marking the Taoist introverted experience practicing was already clear and maturation. But the Taoist within the practice also needs external practicing avenue and intuitive form. Finally in the right historical period, Taoism and the martial art met. Keywords: Taoism, Chinese Martial Art, Tai Chi, Life Cultivation, Zhang San-feng. 1. Introduction Yang style, etc. every style tai chi respects Zhang San feng for the founder. Either from tai chi name or from the statue of the founder, Taoist and tai chi both have a deeply historical origin，and means that The two value orientations are convergence. In modern times, many tai chi practitioners, tai chi has become one of the world's most widespread categories of traditional Chinese culture. People can generally feel the the Taoist culture behind it, but the Taoist culture system is still to make people feel mysterious. What the intrinsic link is between the two? Whether can have a glimpse of the true face of the Taoist culture through tai chi? This article reveals that the formation of tai chi means traditional Chinese Taoist culture having a clear external expression form, at the same time having bidirectional authentication method (inward regimen validated and outward fighting verified).

    Neurological Sciences (2019) 40:2303–2309 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10072-019-03953-w ORIGINAL ARTICLE Clinical significance of common-stem lenticulostriate arteries in patients with internal watershed infarction Wen -huo Chen1 & Ting-yu Yi1 & A-lai Zhan2 & Yan-min Wu1 & Mei-fang Zhang1 & Yi-min Li2 & Yan-yu Lu2 & Ding-lai Lin1 & Xiao-hui Lin1 & Zhi-nan Pan1 Received: 18 January 2019 /Accepted: 27 May 2019 /Published online: 16 June 2019 # Fondazione Società Italiana di Neurologia 2019 Abstract Background A common-stem origin of lenticulostriate arteries (CS-LSAs) is an anatomical variation that supplies a moderate to large section of the basal ganglia. We hypothesized that CS-LSAs with a patent orifice are located at distal positions of the acute- occluded middle cerebral artery (MCA) and that the blood flow of CS-LSAs is supplied by pail arterial anastomoses and results in hypoperfusion of CS-LSAs, similar to a deep watershed (DWS) infarction. Objective Our study evaluated the possibility of CS-LSAs in patients with DWS infarction and MCA occlusion and also assessed the safety of endovascular therapy (ET) in these patients. Methods A cohort of consecutive patients with DWS infarction and MCA occlusion and in whom full recanalization via ET was achieved were identified. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of CS-LSAs observed during ET. In addition, radiological and clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Results Thirty-three patients were included, and CS-LSAs were observed in 48.5% (16/33) of patients. The possibility (72.2%, 13/18) of CS-LSAs was high in patients with DWS infarction companied with basal ganglia infarction.

Linguistic composition and characteristics of Chinese given names Abstract: The aim of this paper is to discuss various linguistic and cultural aspect of personal naming in China. In Chinese civilization, personal names, especially given names, were considered crucial for a person’s fate and achievements. The more important the position of a person, the more various categories of names the person received. Chinese naming practices do not restrict the inventory of possible given names, i.e. given names are formed individually, mainly as a result of a process of onymisation, and given names are predominantly semantically transparent. Therefore, given names seem to be well suited for a study of stereotyped cultural expectations present in Chinese society. The paper deals with numerous subdivisions within the superordinate category of personal name, as the subclasses of surname and given name. It presents various subcategories of names that have been used throughout Chinese history, their linguistic characteristics, their period of origin, and their cultural or social functions.

Methods: We collected 330 CRC patients by the match of mismatch repair-profcient (167) and dMMR (163), explored the relationship between MMR status and some important immune molecules including MHC class I, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD56, programmed death-1 and programmed death ligand-1, and investigated the risk factors for dMMR status as well as low MHC class I expression. The Pearson Chi square test was used for analyzing the associations between clinicopathological and immune characteristics and MMR status, and two categories logistic regression model was used for univariate and multivariate analysis to predict the odds ratio of risk factors for dMMR status and low MHC class I expression. Results: Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low MHC class I and CD4 expression and high CD8 expression were signifcant risk factors for dMMR status [odds ratio (OR) 24.66, 2.94 and 2.97, respectively; all p < 0.05] and dMMR status was the only risk factor for low MHC class I expression= (OR 15.34; p < 0.001).
