Objective To investigate the protein and gene expression of bcl-2, bcl-6 in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods 73 cases of DLBCL were selected for study using the Envision immunohistochemistry method with a panel of antibodies CD3, CD10, CD20, bcl-6, bcl-2, MUM-1. The bcl-2gene expression in 57 of 73 cases with chromosome translocation t (14; 18), breakage and amplification of 3q27 chromosome in 54 of 73 cases were detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) method. Results The percentages of tumor cells expressing CD10, bcl-6, MUM-1, bcl-2 were separately 15.1%, 38.4 %, 71.2 %, 79.2 %. t (14;18) chromosomes were detected in 16 of 57 cases (28.1%). The expression of bcl-2 protein have significantly correlated with immunophenotype subtype (P=0.035), and t (14;18) was significantly correlated with the prognosis (P=0.045). There were no association between the expression of bcl-2 protein and t (14;18)(P=0.710). 11 of 54 cases were presented with 3q27 chromosomal breakage (20.4 %), and 14 cases were chromosomal amplification (25.9 %). The prognosis of cases with positive bcl-6 protein was better than that with negative protein obviously. There was no relationship between bcl-6 and 3q27 chromosomal breakage or amplification (P=1.000). Conclusion The expression of bcl-2, bcl-6 protein and gene were different events and had the different significance on DLBCL. The expression of bcl-2 protein was a prognostic marker correlated with immunophenotype subtype, and GCB type with the positive expression of bcl-2 protein had the poor prognosis. Conversely, t(14;18) was an independent event for the prognosis, and the positive expression have the poor prognosis. Patients who require the target therapy should be detected for the t(14;18). The expression of bcl-6 protein was beneficial to the judgment of DLBCL prognosis, it could be an independent factor of the prognosis. 3q27 chromosomal breakage may be a hint to the poor prognosis.

Objective:To study the improvement of normal tissue region of interest (ROI) segmentation based on clustering-based multi-Atlas segmentation method, thereby achieving better delineation of organs at risk.Methods:CT images of 100 patients with cervical cancer who had completed treatment in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital during 2019-2020 were selected as the Atlas database. According to the volume characteristic parameters of the organs at risk (bladder, rectum and outer contour), the Atlas database was divided into several subsets by k-means clustering algorithm. The image to be segmented was matched to the corresponding Atlas library for multi-Atlas segmentation. The dice similarity coefficient (DSC) was used to evaluate the segmentation results.Results:Using 30 patients as the test set, the sub-Atlas generated by different clustering methods were compared for the improvement of image segmentation results. Compared with general multi-Atlas segmentation methods, clustering-based multi-Atlas segmentation method significantly improve the segmentation accuracy for the bladder (DSC=0.83±0.09 vs. 0.69±0.15, P<0.001) and the rectum (0.7±0.07 vs. 0.56±0.16, P<0.001), but no statistical significance was observed for left and right femoral head (0.92±0.04, 0.91±0.02) and bone marrow (0.91±0.06). The average segmentation time of clustering-based multi-Atlas segmentation method was shorter than that of the general multi-Atlas segmentation method (2.7 min vs. 6.3 min). Conclusion:The clustering-based multi-Atlas segmentation method can not only reduce the number of Atlas images registered with the image to be segmented, but also can be expected to improve the segmentation effect and obtain higher accuracy.

The co-culture system of early embryos and cancer cells is an important means to observe the biological behavior changes of embryos and cancer cells in vitro. In this study, we co-cultured the 3.5 dpc mouse embryo with malignant tumor cells, investigated the development of blastocyst by observing the hatchment, attachment and outgrowth, observed the biological behavior changes of cancer cells in the embryonic circumstances, and detected the proliferation and apoptosis of cancer cells. Compared with the control, the embryos developed normally in the tumor environments, and the rate of hatchment, attachment and outgrowth increased significantly (P<0.05). However, there was no significant change of cancer cells in morphology, proliferation and apoptosis in the co-culture system (P>0.05). Under the co-culture system, the early embryo developed normally, and the cancer cells also grew well. There may be similarities between the embryos and cancer cell's choice for living. Moreover, the growth of embryos could be promoted by cancer cells in the co-culture system. This might be related to the similarities of gene expression, growth factors and signal transduction mechanisms between embryos and cancer cells.
