Purpose To discuss the clinical pathological features, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of pri-mary breast diffuse large B-cell lymphoma ( DLBCL) . Methods 7 cases of primary breast DLBCL were collected, their clinical path-ological characteristics and immunophenotypes were also observed, and the treatment and prognostic factors were discussed. Results All of the 7 patients were women, aged 28~75 years, with the median 51 years. 5 cases involved left breast, 2 cases were located in the right breast. Painless mammary mass and ipsilateral axillary lymphadenopathy were the commonest clinical manifestations. On mi-croscopic observation, tumor cells were large to medium-sized which characterized as diffuse infiltration between the lobules of mamma-ry gland, around the duct, interstitial and fat tissue, some were single file cord pattern. 1 case was ALK-1 positive DLBCL, 6 cases were DLBCL of the non special type. The immunophenotype showed 5 cases were of non-GCB, 2 cases were of GCB type. Ki-67 index were from 60% to 95%. According to Ann Arbor staging, 2 cases were stage I EA, 5 cases were stage II EA. IPI score:4 cases with 0 score, 3 cases with 1 score. Of 7 patients, one case was modified radical mastectomy, 4 cases were lumpectomy, 2 cases were diag-nosed by core needle biopsy. 2 patients died without chemotherapy, 5 patients were chemotherapy or radiotherapy for 4 to 6 cycles ( CHOP/R-CHOP) , 4 patients received complete response, one died. Patients were followed up from 1 to 114 months, the median fol-low-up time was 18 months. The 1 year OS rate was 57. 1%, 5 years OS rate was 14. 3%. Conclusion The diagnosis of primary breast DLBCL is confirmed by pathological biopsy and immunohistochemical markers. The immunophenotype was mainly non-GCB type.

Objective:To construct CD106-targeted RNAi lentiviral vector plasmids. Methods:4 targets aimed at CD106(Target 1, 2, 3, 4)were designed. Oligo-DNA fragment containing short hairpin frame was synthesized and reannealed, and then cloned into lentivi-ral expression vector. PCR and sequencing analysis were made for verifying the positive clones. The virus packaging plasmids were trans-fected into 293T cells to harvest siRNA lentivirus. After infection in HN12 cells, Real-time PCR and western blot were performed to de-termine the expressing level of CD106. Results:PCR and sequencing revealed that siRNA plasmids was correctly constructed. Virus with a titer of 1 × 109 TU/ml was successfully packaged at least. CD106 expression in HN12 cells could be knockdown by virus infection sig-nifically, compared with negative control lentivirus. Conclusion: The recombinant lentiviral siRNA expressing vector targeting human CD106 gene has been successfully constructed and packaged. CD106 gene in cells may be down-regulated by lentiviral siRNA.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of Trimetazidine(TMZ)on the ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI)of fatty liver in autotransplantation model. Methods Fatty liver model was established by feeding high fat diet. Male Wistar rats (n=30) were randomized into three groups;Sham group, TMZ group and Model group. Liver was autotransplanted in both TMZ group and Model group. Serum levels of ALT, SOD, MDA, Bcl-2 and activated Caspase-3 were assessed 6 hours after the operation. The pathological performances of liver were also determined. Results Compared with the Model group, serum levels of ALT,AST, MDA and SOD levels decreased significantly in the TMZ group(P<0.05). Serum level of Bcl-2 was higher while level of activated Caspase-3 was lower in TMZ group than those in Model group(P<0.05). Histo?logical assay and TUNEL staining showed reduced hepatocyte swelling and narrowed sinusoid as well as decreased hepatic apoptosis in TMZ group compared with Model group. Conclusion TMZ can reduce oxidative stress, promote the expression of Bcl-2 and inhibit the activation of Caspase-3, which all contribute to its protective effect on fatty liver with ischemia-re?perfusion injury.
