Objective To investigate the expression of IL-10 and IL-6 in tissue and plasma of subtypes lymphoma and its significance. Methods Immunohistochemical technique and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to assess the expression of IL-10 and IL-6 in 97 cases paraffin tissue and plasma samples from different subtypes of lymphoma.Results Expression of IL-10 and IL-6 was positive in all lymphoma tissue samples, but there is no significant difference among different subtypes lymphoma (x2 =0.815, x2 =0.542, P > 0.05). Tumor samples were found positive IL-10 and IL-6 expression in macrophages and vascular endothelial cells by immunohistochemistry respectively. Expression of IL-10 and IL-6 in plasma of lymphoma were higher than that in control respectively [(232.57±191.59) pg/ml vs (59.12±68.35) pg/ml,(80.70±89.68) pg/ml vs (45.68±33.66) pg/ml],with significant difference (t =6.968,t =2.896,P <0.05).IL-10 and IL-6 plasma levels increased with enhanced expression in lymphoma (x2 =0.815,x2 =0.542,P < 0.05).Which was found to be correlated with each other (rs =0.394,P < 0.05). Conclusion The expression of IL-10 and IL-6 had been found at various degrees in tissues and plasma of lymphoma.IL-10 and IL-6 in plasma of lymphoma were higher than that in controls. These results showed that IL-10 and IL-6 may cooperate in vivo with lymphoma cell proliferation and infiltrate. IL-6 and IL-10 maybe served as useful indicators for diagnosis of lymphoma.

Objective To study a improved technique by releasing the orbicularis retaining ligament in orbicularis oculi muscle supension blepharoplasty. Release of the orbicularis retaining ligament could cut off the contact between orbitomalar skin and periosteum at inferior orbital rim, and carry the point of tightening orbitomalar skin in orbicularis oculi muscle supension blepharoplasty. Methods There were 409 patients with apparent orbitmalar fold. The methods of releasing orbicularis retaining ligament and orbital septum fixation were added to improve the orbicularis oculi muscle supension blepharoplasty. Results 409 cases were treated using this method over the past 3 years. All results were satisfactory. No complications were observed. Conclusion This improved method of orbicularis oculi muscle supension blepharoplasty is useful for orbitomalar skin rolling, especially for orbitmalar fold. The release allows effective redraping and upward mobilization of the orbicularis of the lower lid and the premalar soft tissues. This method is a simple, safe and effective procedure for the correction of tear trough deformity and well-demarcated lid/cheek junction in lower eyelid belpharoplasty. It is one of the best choices for lower eyelid blepharoplasty.

Background and purpose:Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who have good curative effect on epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) will inevitably acquired drug resistance. It will effect the survival directly. In contrast, few studies have found that EGFR-TKI effectively acquired drug resistance in patients with clinical characteristics. We investigated clinical characteristics of NSCLC patients who experienced acquired drug resistance during geiftinib therapy. Methods:To review the treatment from the beneift of patients with non-small cell lung cancer. All of the data were obtained from Jan. 2007 to Jan. 2014 in Xinjiang tumor hospital. The treatment for failure of acquired drug resistance of clinical manifestations, time to progress (TTP) and post-progression survival (PPS) were retrospectively analyzed. Results:The total collection of 417 patients. Median TTP was 10.2 months (95%CI:9.5-10.9). The TTP of women adenocarcinoma patients who didn’t smoke signiifcantly extended. When acquired drug resistance happened, 63.3%of patients appeared worse symptoms. The progress of the disease is as follows:209 cases (58.4%) from the primary lesion, 137 cases (38.3%) before the transfer, 194 cases (54.2%) of new happened. Patients of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild type had more tendencies of symptomatic deterioration and new central nervous system (CNS) transfer than patients of EGFR mutation type. Patients of exon 19 deletion and L858R mutations on the new transfer were different (41.4%vs 6.3%, P=0.02). PPS was 8.9 months (95%CI:7.4-10.4). Smoking history, performance status (PS) score, new CNS lesions and the subsequent chemotherapy is independent factors of PPS. Conclusion:This study suggests that the clinical manifestations of acquired drug resistance according to EGFR mutation status and EGFR mutation genotype may be different. In addition, after the treatment of acquired drug resistance in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, the subsequent clinical beneift from chemotherapy are also associated with PPS.
