Objective The objectives of this study were to investigate the clinical significance of CD39,CD73,double positive subgroups for CD39 and CD73,and other lymphocytes with clinicopathological parameters in the microenvironment of colorectal cancer.Methods Tumor infiltrating lymphocyte(TIL)was collected from 24 patients with colorectal cancer after radical resection.The expression of CD39+,CD73+ or CD39+ with CD73+ in T cells were measured by flow cytometry.The association between these subgroups and clinicopathologic parameters was analyzed.Results The CD73+ and CD39+ with CD73+ subgroups were associated with lymph node metastasis and poor degree of differentiation,and this mechanism was closely related to tumor-associated inflammation.Conclusion CD39+ with CD73+ colorectal tumor infiltration Treg has a more unique biological activity than other Treg group.This study provides a new idea and theoretical basis for predicting the prognosis of colorectal cancer.

Hereditary hemochromatosis is a rare autosomal genetic disorder that can cause multi-organ dysfunction in the liver,pancreas,spleen,heart and pituitary gland,with diverse clinical manifestations,make the diagnosis difficult.In recent years,with the deepening of clinical understanding and the development of genetic diagnosis tools,the diagnostic rate of this disease has increased significantly.In this paper,we report a case of hereditary hemochromatosis type 3 involving multiple organs and complicated by severe heart failure,aiming to improve the clinicians'understanding of this disease and reduce the leakage and misdiagnosis.
