Acta Universitatis Medicinalis Anhui 2017;52(4):570-574
Objective To investigate the clinical features, BCL-2,CMYC protein expression and prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus-associated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods A retrospective study was used to analyse 94 diagnosed DLBCL patients clinical data.Immunohistochemistry method was used to detect the expression of BCL-2 and CMYC protein in paraffin sections of tumor tissues, and to analyze the clinical features, protein expression and prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus-associated DLBCL.Results ① The rate of HBV infection in the 94 DLBCL patients was 27.66%, significantly higher than the general population(7.18%).Compared with HbsAg-negative DLBCL, HbsAg-positive DLBCL displayed more advanced disease(P=0.032), higher international prognostic index (IPI)(P=0.047) and more frequent involvement of spleen(P=0.02).There were no significant differences in gender distribution, age, immunological subtype and treatment between the two groups.② The aspect of BCL-2 and CMYC protein expression between the two groups: HbsAg-positive group BCL-2 protein expression was significantly higher than HbsAg-negative group (84.6% vs 58.8%, P=0.018).There were no significant differences on the CMYC protein expression and CMYC/ BCL-2 double expression.③ Univariate survival analysis showed that hepatitis B virus infection, BCL-2 positive, CMYC positive, CMYC/ BCL-2 double expression, IPI high-risk group were associated with unfavorable prognostic of overall survival time (OS) and progression free survival (PFS).Cox multivariate analysis showed that CMYC/BCL-2 double expression, IPI high-risk group were independent adverse prognostic factors for OS and PFS.Conclusion HBV infection, BCL-2, CMYC, BCL-2/CMYC double expression, IPI are related to the prognosis of DLBCL.HBV infection may affect the development and prognosis of DLBCL by regulating the expression of BCL-2.

Objective To investigate the changes in the proportion of regulatory T (Treg) cells and in the levels of cytokines secreted by these cells in the peripheral blood in the patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Methods The enrolled subjects consisted of 30 CML patients who were newly diagnosed , 20 CML patients who were under the effective treatment of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BCR-ABL 210 transcript ratio is below 10%) and 20 healthy donors whose age and sex were matched .Flow cytometry was used to detect CD4+CD25 high CD127 low /-Treg cells and CD4+ T cells.The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the plasma concentra -tions of interleukin-10(IL-10), transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) and IL-35.Results The proportions of Treg cells in CD4+ T cells were similar among the three groups .As concerns the three kinds of Treg-associated cy-tokines, there were no significant differences in the plasma concentrations of IL -10 among the three groups.Howev-er, compared with the treatment group and the control group , the plasma concentrations of TGF -β1 and IL-35 in the newly diagnosed patients significantly increased (P <0.001), with no significant difference between the treat -ment group and the control group.Conclusion Though the proportion of Treg cells did not significantly change in the newly diagnosed patients, the plasma concentrations of TGF-β1 and IL-35 indeed significantly enhanced , sug-gesting the dysfunction of Treg cells in the newly diagnosed patients might be associated with the progression of dis -ease.Effective treatment of tyrosine kinase inhibitors could down -regulate the plasma levels of these cytokines to baseline, suggesting that monitoring these cytokines might evaluate the efficacy of therapy .

Objective To investigate the relationship between K+ concentration in rabbit vitreous humor and postmortem interval (PMI) under different ambient temperature. Methods Rabbit corpses were stored at 5℃ , 15℃ , 25℃ , and 35℃ after execution, and 80~100μL vitreous humor was extracted from each eye of the rabbit in turn every 12 hours. The concentrations of K+ were examined by Modular DPPI automatic biochemistry analyzer. The Interpolation Functions were used to analyze the statistical relationship between PMI and K+ concentration under different temperature. Results In each animal group, K+ concentration increased with PMI. Equation was obtained after interpolation analysis on range of temperature 5℃ ~30℃ . The three-variable quintic surface equation was f(x,y)=-1.998e14+1.345e12x+5.902e13y+0.005585x2-4.509e11xy-3.876e12y2-0.0002868x3+0.003545x2y+4.406e10xy2-1.746e10y3+2.669e-6x4-1.568e-5x3y-0.0001771x2y2-1.64e9xy3+6.669e9y4-8.672e-9x5+4.467e-8x4y+2.354e-7x3y2+2.459e-6x2y3+2.05e7xy4-1.214e8y5(R2=0.9956), x stands for temperature, y stands for K+ concentration, f(x,y) stands for PMI. Conclusion The rule of K+ concentration changes at ambient temperature complied with three-variable quintic surface equation distribution. Measurement of interpolation function may be used for PMI estimation at different ambient temperature.

Background and purpose:Low intensity ultrasound (LIUS) can kill cancer cells and promote their apoptosis. However, it is still unknown how it affects the migration and invasion of tumor cells. This study aimed to explore the effect of LIUS on human hepatocellular line MHCC97H in migration and metastasis and the possible mechanismin vitro.Methods:According to the intensity of ultrasonic irradiation, 4 experimental groups were established: control group (0 W/cm2), 0.5 W/cm2, 1.0 W/cm2 and 1.5 W/cm2group. The migration and invasion ability of hepatocellular cells was detected by scratch assay and Transwell migration and invasion assay after the irradiation of LIUS. The changes of cytoskeleton after irradiation were observed by microscope and F-actin green lfuorescence staining. The expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were examined by real-time lfuorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) and Western blot.Results:Low intensity ultrasound (≤1.5 W/cm2) promoted the migration and invasion of hepatocellular line MHCC97H. Scratch assay and Transwell assay showed much more cells under irradiation migrated through membrane than untreated. It was found that morphology of liver cancer cells changed after LIUS irradiation using optical microscope and lfuorescence microscope. The results of RTFQ-PCR and Western blot showed upregulation of MMP-2 expression by LIUS in MHCC97H and high expression of MMP-9 mRNA. Conclusion:Low intensity ultrasound may promote the migration and invasion of MHCC97H through changing cytoskeleton and upregulating protein expression of MMP-2.
