Objective To investigate the biological effect of anti-leukemic cells induced by eosinophilic granulocyte (EOS) in bone marrow of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).Methods The BCR-ABL fusion gene as well as the expression of IL-12 and IL-17 mRNA were performed by RT-PCR.The serum concentrations of cytokine IL-12 and IL-17 were determined by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA).Immunochemistry staining and cytochemistry staining were used to observe the peroxydase (POX) and human Leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR expression of EOS in bone marrow.Immunofluorescence staining was used to observe mannose receptor (MR),IL-12,IL-17A and IL-17receptor A (IL-17RA) expression of EOS.The results between the CML patients and the healthy controls were compared.Results Serum levels of IL-12 and IL-17 were higher in the 60 CML patients [(196.33 ±21.79) ng/L and (36.55-±3.01) ng/L] than those in the controls [(96.60 ±4.92) ng/L and (23.74 ±1.36) ng/L].In the 32 patients with activated EOS,the levels of IL-12 and IL-17 were (273.12 ± 17.16)ng/L and (40.11 ± 6.13) ng/L,which were significantly higher than those in the non-activated EOS [(126.16 ± 14.27) ng/L and (28.14 ±5.29) ng/L] (P values ＜0.01).IL-12 and IL-17 mRNA were expressed in activated EOS,while BCR-ABL fusion gene was not found.The amounts of EOS were increased abnormally in the bone marrow and peripheral blood of the CML patients with POX positive staining in the cytoplasm and weakly positive HLA-DR staining.It was observed easily by a microscope that EOS could attack leukemic cells in bone marrow through adhesion,capture and phagocytosis.Activated EOS could express IL-12,IL-17A and MR,which was related with the serum levels of these cytokines.Conclusions Activated EOS in bone marrow of CML patients could express IL-12 and IL-17.Activated EOS could induce coup injury to leukemic cell by releasing POX and expressing IL-12 and IL-17.It can also capture or swallow target cells via the expression of MR on the membrane.EOS may play an important role in the anti-tumor immunologic function in bone marrow of CML patients.

As the main medicinal powder for drawing out pus and removing necrotic tissue in external therapies of traditional Chinese surgery, Sheng Powder has made great contributions to the treatment of inflammatory wounds and has the unique bactericidal and decay-discharging function that can not be replaced by antibiotics. However, Sheng Powder has toxicity because it contains mercury. So far, there is no clinical research on the standards of dose and usage of Sheng Powder and there is a lack of objective and quantitative criteria for operating standards and monitoring of toxicity and side effects. Therefore, the authors choose Jiuyi Powder, one of the most commonly used Sheng Powder, to evaluate the safety of its external use, and form a standardization program for clinical implementation.

Objective:To study the effect of immunological molecules expressive state upon the telomerase activation ( TA) of bone marrow mononuclear cells ( BMMNC ) in the hemopoietic microenvironment of patients with immune related hematocytopenia ( IRHS) ,and to explore the immunologic mechanism as well as the clinical significance of hematoclasis in marrow of IRHS patients .Methods:①TRAP-PCR-ELISA method was performed to detect the TA of BMMNC in marrow of 366 IRHS patients before and after therapy.②The molecules HLA-DR,anti-hunman IgG,FcγⅡR,mannose receptor ( MR),IL-17A and its receptor ( IL-17AR) were analysed by immunochemistry and immunofluorescence staining .③The flow cytometric ( FCM) was used to analyse the proportion of CD3+CD4+T cells as well as CD3+CD8+T cells ,CD3-CD19+B cells and CD3-CD16/56+NK cells in peripheral blood lymphocyte.60 cases of health examination were selected as the control group , and 30 cases hypoferric anemia patients were selected as disease control.The differences between patient group and control group were analysed with statistic method .Immunochemistry and immunofluo-rescence staining were performed to in situ analyze the activation-characteristics of immunocyte in bone marrow slides of IRHS ,and the dependablity of cellular immunologic injury was also checked.Results: ①The levels of TA was 0.261 7 ±0.021 6 before treatment , higher than the disease control group (0.061 6±0.031 3 ,P<0.01).Among of them HLA-B27+patients were higher than HLA-B27-patients (0.301 3±0.020 6 vs.0.192 3±0.012 9,P<0.05).Serious IRP patients with HLA-B27+IgG+were obviously higher than HLA-B27-IgG+patients (0.401 6±0.017 2 vs.0.221 1±0.011 0,P<0.01).②In marrow of HLA-B27+IgG+patients,both cell immunity and humoral immunity were in disorder in the hemopoietic microenvironment ,and immonocyte in marrow expressed HLA-DR, FcγⅡR,IL-17A,IL-17RA and MR,and Th,Ts,B cell and NK cell in peripheral blood increased in different degree ,inducing the in-flammation of haemocyte and lead to destruction.③Humoral immunity was in the dominant level in morrow;humoral immunity of HLA-B27-IgG+patients,immonocyte expressed FcγⅡR in high level,but IL-17A was seldom expressed,only CD19+B cell was increased slightly ,the antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity ( ADCC) was the main mode of destruction.After therapy glucocorticoids associated with ciclosporin A ,the TA level of BMMNC decreased to 0 with devitalization.Conclusion: The telomerase activation of bone marrow mononuclear cells in IRHS is related with the immune state of hemopoietic microenvironment and the pathologic lesion degree of hema -topoietic cell in marrow.It is viral infection and immunological activation as well as a variety of inflammatory factors play a part in the immunologic injury that might be an important factor of the enhancement in TA.

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are a group of clonal disorders of hematopoietic stem cells, and JAK2 V617F gene mutation is the main basis for the diagnosis of MPN. Previous studies have shown that BCR-ABL fusion gene and JAK2 V617F gene mutation are mutually exclusive in MPN patients, but in recent years, patients with a double mutation of both genes are often reported. The article synthesizes the relevant domestic and foreign literature in recent years, and reviews the BCR-ABL fusion gene and JAK2 V617F mutation double-positive MPN.

Objective To investigate the applied value of routine ultrasound and shear wave elastography (SWE) in the comparison between triple negative breast cancer ( TNBC) and non-triple negative breast cancer (non-TNBC) . Methods A total of 120 lesions in 120 patients with pathologically confirmed breast cancer were retrospectively reviewed ,which were examined by routine ultrasound and SWE before surgery . According to immunohistochemical analysis ,those were divided into TNBC group and non-TNBC group . The features of routine ultrasound ( including shape ,orientation ,margin ,boundary ,echo pattern ,microcalcification ,posterior features of each lesion and blood flow characteristics) and the SWE index[including the average value of the lesion stiffness(Emean) ,the maximum value (Emax) ,the minimum value (Emin) ,the standard deviation (SD) ,and the ratio of the normal breast gland tissue (Eratio)] in the two groups were analyzed and compared . Results ① Two-dimensional ultrasound :TNBC lesions mostly showed the margin of microlobulated ,abrupt boundaries and no internal microcalcification ,but non-TNBC lesions were more likely to have an angular or spiculated margin ,an echogenic halo of boundary and a few microcalcification in the interior ,which were statistically different( P ＜0 .05) . The grade of blood flow and resistance index between TNBC and non-TNBC group showed no statistical difference( P ＞0 .05) . ② The values of Emax ,Emean and Eratio were statistically different( P ＜0 .05) ,with AUCs of 0 .811 ,0 .781 ,and 0 .770 , respectively . Conclusions Routine ultrasound and SWE can comprehensively analyze the morphology ,blood flow and stiffness features of breast lesions ,which provides more valid information to identify T NBC and non-T NBC .

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in the prognosis of patients with advanced diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:A retrospective case series study was performed. The clinical data of 654 patients newly diagnosed with advanced DLBCL diagnosed in 7 medical centers in Huaihai Lymphoma Working Group from October 2009 to January 2022 were retrospectively collected. All the patients received rituximab-based immune chemotherapy regimens. The patients were randomly assigned to the training set (458 cases) and the validation set (196 cases) in a 7:3 ratio. The clinicopathological data of patients were collected, and the CONUT score was calculated based on albumin, lymphocyte count, and total cholesterol. The optimal critical value of CONUT scote was determined by using MaxStat method. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves; Cox proportional hazards model was used to make univariate analysis and multivariate analysis on the factors influencing overall survival (OS). The efficacy of CONUT score in combination with the International prognostic index (IPI) and an enhanced IPI (NCCN-IPI) in predicting OS was evaluated by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.Results:The median follow-up time of 654 patients was 38.1 months (95% CI: 35.3 months- 40.9 months), and the 5-year OS rate was 49.2%. According to the MaxStat method, the optimal critical value for CONUT score was determined to be 6 points. All the patients were classified into the normal nutritional status group (CONUT score ≤ 6 points, 489 cases) and the poor nutritional status group (CONUT score > 6 points, 165 cases). The results of the multivariate analysis showed that CONUT score > 6 points, male, lactate dehydrogenase >240 U/L, high white blood cell count, low hemoglobin level and age > 60 years were independent risk factors for OS of patients with advanced DLBCL (all P < 0.05). Patients in the poor nutritional status group (CONUT score > 6 points) had worse OS compared with that in the normal nutritional status group in the overall cohort of advanced DLBCL. Subgroup analysis revealed that among patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group-performance status (ECOG PS) score < 2 points, IPI low-intermediate risk, IPI intermediate-high risk, NCCN-IPI low-intermediate risk, and NCCN-IPI intermediate-high risk, the patients in the poor nutritional status group (CONUT score > 6 points) had worse OS compared with that in the normal nutritional status group (CONUT score ≤ 6 points) (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:CONUT score has a certain value in the assessment of the prognosis of patients with advanced DLBCL, and its predictive efficacy is further improved when combined with IPI and NCCN-IPI.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease characterized by the proliferation of Langerhans cells and the destruction of local tissue. LCH large occurs in children, whilst incidence of the elderly population is extremely low, and there are few related studies. LCH lesions can involve multiple organs and systems, including bone tissue, lymph nodes, skin, liver, and spleen. However, it is rare that multiple soft tissues are implicated for eldly patients with LCH and present with soft tissue mass as the main manifestation. Here is a report on the clinical features, treatment and prognosis of an elderly LCH with multiple soft tissue masses as the main manifestation, in order to provide clinical reference.
