We herein present an overview of the upcoming 5th edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Haematolymphoid Tumours focussing on lymphoid neoplasms. Myeloid and histiocytic neoplasms will be presented in a separate accompanying article. Besides listing the entities of the classification, we highlight and explain changes from the revised 4th edition. These include reorganization of entities by a hierarchical system as is adopted throughout the 5th edition of the WHO classification of tumours of all organ systems, modification of nomenclature for some entities, revision of diagnostic criteria or subtypes, deletion of certain entities, and introduction of new entities, as well as inclusion of tumour-like lesions, mesenchymal lesions specific to lymph node and spleen, and germline predisposition syndromes associated with the lymphoid neoplasms.

BackgroundPaddy soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) represents a major hotspot for soil biogeochemistry, yet we know little about its chemodiversity let alone the microbial community that shapes it. Here, we leveraged ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry, amplicon, and metagenomic sequencing to characterize the molecular distribution of DOM and the taxonomic and functional microbial diversity in paddy soils across China. We hypothesized that variances in microbial community significantly associate with changes in soil DOM molecular composition.ResultsWe report that both microbial and DOM profiles revealed geographic patterns that were associated with variation in mean monthly precipitation, mean annual temperature, and pH. DOM molecular diversity was significantly correlated with microbial taxonomic diversity. An increase in DOM molecules categorized as peptides, carbohydrates, and unsaturated aliphatics, and a decrease in those belonging to polyphenolics and polycyclic aromatics, significantly correlated with proportional changes in some of the microbial taxa, such as Syntrophobacterales, Thermoleophilia, Geobacter, Spirochaeta, Gaiella, and Defluviicoccus. DOM composition was also associated with the relative abundances of the microbial metabolic pathways, such as anaerobic carbon fixation, glycolysis, lignolysis, fermentation, and methanogenesis.ConclusionsOur study demonstrates the continental-scale distribution of DOM is significantly correlated with the taxonomic profile and metabolic potential of the rice paddy microbiome. Abiotic factors that have a distinct effect on community structure can also influence the chemodiversity of DOM and vice versa. Deciphering these associations and the underlying mechanisms can precipitate understanding of the complex ecology of paddy soils, as well as help assess the effects of human activities on biogeochemistry and greenhouse gas emissions in paddy soils.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are important precursors of ground-level ozone and secondary organic aerosol, and its monitoring and emission control are very necessary for national environmental protection. Under the guide of policy and demand, on-board monitoring technology for VOCs becomes popular. The on-board monitoring technology has high spatial and temporal resolution and high efficiency for VOCs monitoring, which has become the hotspot technology in VOCs rapid monitoring filed. However, when there are many target compounds with the same quality, there is only one peak in the mass spectrum for these compounds obtained by the traditional on-board monitoring technology with the method of single mass spectrometer, which reduces the detection precision. Therefore, dual mode VOCs on-board monitoring system including SPI-TOF MS model and fast GC-SPI-TOF MS model were established by developing fast gas chromatography (GC)-single photon ionization (SPI)-time of flight mass spectrometry (TOF MS) devices combing with mobile car. When VOCs were monitored by the on-board monitoring system, the SPI-TOF MS mode was firstly used to analyze the VOCs in air by the process of driving, and the results of real-time qualitative quantitative analysis for each point of VOCs were obtained. When high value point of VOCs pollution was found, the car was stopped, and the analysis mode was switched to GC-SPI-TOF MS to determine whether there were compounds with the same m/z, which aimed at ensuring the speed of onboard monitoring and improving the detection accuracy at the same time. During the research, the performance of the system was evaluated by PAMs and TO-15 standard gas. The results showed that the system had a good detection ability for isomers and co-effluent components from GC. The reproducibility error of signal intensities were lower than 5.00% for 92% compounds by both SPI-TOF MS mode and GC-SPI-TOF MS mode, the reproducibility error of retention time was lower than 0.30% for 100% compounds, and the detection limits for typical VOCs species were between 0.28×10-9 and 8.50×10-9, which were better than the national or local testing standard. The system was applied to VOCs monitoring at an industrial park. With high time resolution (in seconds) monitoring ability, m/z 120 was identified for normal propyl benzene which came from suspicious enterprises B. Rapid GC-SPI-TOF MS is a quick and accurate monitoring equipment for VOCs, which not only improves the ability of equipment for VOCs monitoring, but also provides data support for VOCs emission management and control in China.

Low-risk early-stage extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type has a favorable outcome with radiation therapy alone, and the addition of chemotherapy shows no survival benefit. Nonetheless, a proportion of patients will relapse or progress, with a dismal outcome, highlighting the need for a novel therapeutic strategy. Promising preliminary findings indicate the efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, with good toxicity profiles. Here we describe the design of a phase II study (CLCG-NKT-2101), which is evaluating the safety and efficacy of adding anti-PD-1 antibody to the current radiation therapy regimen in low-risk early-stage extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type patients. Tislelizumab will be added in an inductive and concurrent way to radiation therapy. The primary end point will be the complete response rate after induction immunotherapy.

In order to ensure the full melting of the thermoplastic composites (TPC) prepreg in the process of automated fiber placement (AFP) and offer the potential to realize the in-situ consolidation for TPC, it is necessary to control the temperature of the prepreg in AFP. Aiming at the processing speed will be changed within the larger scope, an infrared heating technology with fast response rate and efficient was proposed. Based on the analysis of the heat transfer process between the infrared heat source and the layers, the control equation of dynamic temperature was put forward and the matching relationship between the radiation intensity and laying speed was established. Based on the AFP platform, the infrared heating system which adopts the feedforward control method was constructed and the corresponding control strategy was formulated according to the dynamic thermostatic control equation to realize the heating temperature of prepreg controlled accurately. The experiment results show that the infrared heating thermostatic control system can meet the requirement of dynamic thermostatic control in the condition of variable speed and the compressive strength and the interlaminar shear strength for AFP component are closed to the moulded component.

Helium(4He, or α)is the second most abundant element in the observable Universe. The α-particle induced reactions such as(α, γ), (α, n) and (α, p) play a crucial role in nuclear astrophysics, especially for understanding stellar heliumburning. Because of the strong Coulomb repulsion, it is greatly hindered to directly measure the cross sections for these α-capture reactions at stellar energies. Alpha-cluster transfer reaction is a powerful tool for investigation of astrophysical(α, γ), (α, n)and(α, p)reactions since it can preferentially populate the natural-parity states with an α-cluster structure which dominantly contribute to these astrophysical α-capture reactions during stellar heliumburning. In this paper, we reviewthe theoretical scheme, theexperimental technique, astrophysical applications and the future perspectives of such approach based on α-cluster transfer reactions.
