ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the clinical presentation, clinicopathologic features, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL).@*Methods@#Four cases of ATLL from Fujian Cancer Hospital between October 2017 and May 2018 were analyzed using hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemical stains and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for HTLV-1 provirus genes. The relevant literature was reviewed.@*Results@#There were two males and two females, age range 38-80 years. All patients were from coastal cities of Fujian province. Clinical presentations including lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly and splenomegaly were detected in most patients; skin lesion, hypercalcemia and lymphocytosis were also commonly detected.Histologically, there was diffuse effacement of the normal architecture by tumor cells infiltration. The inflammatory background is usually sparse, with scanty eosinophils. The atypical lymphoid cells were typically medium to large sized with pronounced nuclear pleomorphism, irregular nuclei, chromatin clumping and prominent nucleoli. Blast-like cells with transformed nuclei were present in variable proportions. Giant cells with convoluted or cerebriform nuclear contours may be present. Rare cases may be composed predominantly of anaplastic tumor cells. Characteristic "flower cells" with large multi-lobated nuclei can be seen. The tumor cells were strongly positive for CD2, CD3, CD5, CD4 and CD25, but negative for CD7, CD8 and cytotoxic molecules (including TIA-1, Granzyme B and perforin). In three cases, the large transformed cells were positive for CD30. In one case, the anaplastic large cells were diffusely and strongly positive for CD30. All cases were negative for EBER, but positive for HTLV-1 provirus.@*Conclusions@#ATLL is a rare type of T cell lymphoma with unique clinical and pathological features, and should be distinguished from peripheral T cell lymphoma, NOS, ALK negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma and mycosis fungoides. Hypercalcemia, systemic disease, characteristic "flower cells" and specific immunophenotypic profile of CD3+, CD4+, CD25+, and CD7- are highly suggestive. However, ATLL can only be confirmed if the presence of HTLV-1 provirus.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the characteristics and influencing factors of methamphetamine dependence adolescents’ emotional faces recognition ability. Methods Eighty-six adolescents methamphet-amine addicts and 85 healthy volunteers were tested by a self-designed questionnaire and an experiment of e-motional faces identification. Results (1)There was no significant correlation between the emotional faces recognition ability of the experimental group with their age,education level and drug time (P>0. 05). (2)The correct number of positive(32. 58 ±8. 56),neutral (32. 76±8. 06),and negative(56. 28±20. 04) emotional faces recognition in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group of positive (35. 64±3. 91),neutral(35. 47±4. 00),and negative(71. 02±8. 62) emotional faces recognition(t=-3. 00,-2. 79,-6. 24,P<0. 05). Meanwhile,the response time of positive(( 401. 32± 175. 13) ms) and negative ((502. 08±194. 42)ms) emotional faces recognition in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group of positive((300. 83±139. 48)ms) and negative((379. 91±197. 30)ms) emotional faces (t=4. 15,4. 08,P<0. 05). Nevertheless,there was no significant difference between the experimental group((400. 90±174. 21) ms) and the control group ((356. 67±156. 70) ms) in the recognition response time of neutral emotional faces (t=1. 75,P>0. 05). Conclusion Methamphetamine dependence impairs the ability of adolescents’ emotional faces recognition,and their positive and negative emotional recognition abili-ty has processing defects. The ability of methamphetamine dependence adolescents to emotional faces recogni- tion is not affected by their age,education level and time of drug uses.
ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the differences of emotion identification and emotion quotient (EQ) scores between the teenage criminal group and the vocational school student group,and conduct research on the correlation between the emotion identification and EQ of teenage criminals.Methods A self-designed questionnaire,experiments about emotion identification and EQ tests were applied to 48 teenage criminals and 46 vocational school students who had the matching age,IQ and sex with the teenage criminals.Results The number of correct responses to neutral mood among the teenage criminals (60.00± 17.07) was lower than that of vocational school students (66.12±5.45).There was no difference about EQ between these two groups(90.48± 13.31,90.76± 19.85,P ＞0.05),but in pressure management dimensions,teenage criminals had some differences compared with the vocational school students (53.97± 8.95,57.84 ± 7.26,P＜ 0.05),especially in impulse control (24.97 ± 4.98,28.95 ± 5.22,P＜0.01).The general state of mind,pressure management,individual components and interpersonal components was related to the emotion identification(r 1 =0.43,r 2 =0.36-0.38,r 3 =0.37,P＜0.05).Conclusion Emotion identification of teenage criminals have some flaws,especially the judgment on neutral mood,and it is easily to be wrong.Teenage criminals lack of controlling in EQ.The emotion identification and EQ of the teenage criminal interact with each other.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the status of soil fertility of Good Agricultural Practices ( GAP) base for Spatholobus suberectus Dunn. (SSD) in Pingyuan county of Guangdong province, thus to provide reference for GAP research and the subsequent fertilization for SSD. Methods The deep layer and superficial layer of GAP soil were collected for the physiochemical detection and nutrient assay. Compared with the classification standard of the second national general soil investigation, single base soil fertility index was diagnosed and the comprehensive soil fertility was evaluated with modified Nemoro Index. Results The soil pH value and the contents of exchangeable calcium and magnesium were unbalanced, and the contents of macroelements of nitrogen and phosphonium, microelements, and organic matter were low. Therefore, the measures for improving the base soil fertility should be as follows: ( 1) soil amendments of bentonite, gypsum and slaked lime should be used to adjust the soil pH value; ( 2) each plant should be given 10 kg of slaked organic fertilizer as base fertilizer; ( 3) in the process of nurturing, some special micro-fertilizer solution should be used to treat the cut slips, and 5 kg of urea should be used for every 667 meter square of land; ( 4) besides compound fertilizer, every 667 meter square of land should be fertilized with 15 kg of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate for the supplement of nitrogen and phosphorus, and slaked lime and magnesium carbonate should be used for the supplement of soil moderate-quantity elements after transplantation. Conclusion The comprehensive fertility of Pingyuan GAP base for Spatholobus suberectus Dunn. is at low level, and should be improved in combination with GAP requirements.
