Objective To explore the feasibility and significance of detecting Cyclin D1 and bcl-2 with flow cytometry in the diagnosis of B-cell lymphoma.Methods 45 patients patients with confirmed hematologic diseases in final diagnosis were collected and recorded 45 cases in detail included in the study.25 healthy persons showing normal results in routine physical examinations and laboratory tests were also selected and matched according to the age and gender.In addition,according to the age and gender matching principle,selected routine physical examination and all tests were within the normal range in 25 healthy persons as a healthy control group.Select the pathologically confirmed Cyclin D1 or bcl-2 positive cases were selected as the positive control group,select and the negative cases as the negative control group.Four-color monoclonal antibodies directly immunofluorescence monoclonal antibody labelinged with immunofluorescence were used to analyze the surface and cytoplasmic antigens,and multi-parameter flow cytometry was used to investigate the peripheral blood Cyclin D1 and bcl-2 subsets in lymphoma patients.Results The normal values of Cyclin D1 MFI and bcl-2 were obtained from the 25 normal volunteers by analyzing the (x)±s values and 95 % confidence interval,thus establishing the diagnostic criteria.Compared to the healthy control (0.356±0.159,1.938±0.324),all B-cell lymphoma patients had increased expression in Cyclin D1 (1.824±0.312)and bcl-2 MFI (4.259±0.541) in their peripheral blood,results showing statistical significance (P < 0.01).Patients with different subtypes of lymphoma expressed differing Cyclin D1 MFI.In patients with Hodgkin' s lymphoma,Cyclin D1 MFI (0.386±0.112) was significantly lower than that in the non-Hodgkin' s lymphoma patients (1.623±1.987) (P < 0.01).Further,in non-Hodgkin' s lymphoma patients,mantle cell lymphoma was 100 % positive for Cyclin D1,while the remaining subtypes were negative.Patients with different subtypes of lymphoma also showed differences in bcl-2 expression.In the Hodgkin' s lymphoma,bcl-2 (2.045±0.877) was significantly lower than the non-Hodgkin' s lymphoma (4.045±0.499) (P < 0.01).In non-Hodgkin' s lymphoma,T cell lymphoma expressed the lowest,while MCL and FL showed 100 % positivity.In patients with positive Cyclin D1 or bcl-2,the mean fluorescence intensity level of Cyclin D1 (before treatment 3.099±0.349; after treatment 1.008±0.279) or bcl-2 (before treatment 7.814± 1.030,after treatment 3.131±0.522) was significantly lowered after treatment (P < 0.01).Conclusion Using the method of flow cytometry for detecting Cyclin D1 and bcl-2 in lymphoma cells is feasible,and it can be applied clinically to evaluate the treatment.

Objective To explore clinical characteristics and diagnosis of aggressive natural killercell leukemia (ANKL),and evaluate the value of flow cytometry (FCM) in diagnosing it.Methods A case of ANKL was reported and literatures were reviewed.Results The patient presented with persistent high fever,progressive pancytopenia and hepatosplenomegaly.The untypical cells could be seen by morphology.By FCM,NK cells consisted 83.3 % of total lymphocytes in bone marrow and immunophenotypes were CD34-,CD2+,CD7+,CD3-,CyCD3+,CD5-,CD16+,CD56+,CD30-,CD4-,CD8-,CD117-,CD11c,CD19-,CD45++,SSC+-++.T-cell receptor (TCR) and IgH gene rearrangement were negative and chromosome was normal.The patient was diagonised ANKL eventually.Conclusions ANKL is a quite rare disease with highly aggressive,poor prognosis and could be misdiagnosed easily.FCM combined with morphology is a convenient,handy,practicable and less invasive device for the diagnosis,and can be a preferred detection technique in some cases.

Objective To investigate the expression features and clinical significance of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells in elderly patients with newly diagnosed acute myelocytic leukemia.Methods Totally 65 patients newly diagnosed as acute myeloid leukemia (AML group) and 72 healthy volunteers (control group) were divided into the elderly group (aged over 60 years) and the young group aged (44.6±2.9) years.The expression of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells was detected by CD4,CD25 and CD127 three-color fluorescein-labeled and multiparameter flow cytometry.The expression features and clinical significance of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells in each group were analyzed.Results After being gated on CD4+ lymphocytes,the expression level of CD4+ CD25+regulatory T cells was significantly increased in AML group as compared to control group [(7.06±2.60) % vs.(5.61 ± 1.06) %,t =4.19,P=0.000].The expression level of CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells was higher in elderly AML patients than in elderly controls [(7.55 ± 2.78)% vs.(5.98 ±1.08) %,t=3.42,P=0.001].The expression of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells was higher in young AML patients than in young controls [(6.09±1.91)% vs.(5.14±0.82)%,t=2.21,P=0.036].The expression level of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells was higher in elderly AML patients than in young AML patients [(7.55±2.78)% vs.(6.09±1.91)%,t=2.19,P=0.032].Conclusions The dual roles of immunosenescence and tumor may cause the excessive accumulation of CD4+ CD25+regulatory T cells in elderly patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.

Objective To investigate the frequency of JAK2 V617F mutation and JAK2 V617F mutation allele burden in patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET), and explore the relationship between mutation and hematological parameters and coagulation function. Methods The clinical and laboratory parameters of 90 ET patients were analyzed. JAK2 V617F mutation was detected by AS-PCR and the mutation allele burden of JAK2 V617F was detected by qPCR. The correlation between mutation frequency and mutation burden of JAK2 V617F and blood laboratory parameters were investigated in ET. Results JAK2 V617F mutation was found in 50 patients (55.6 %). RBC [(4.67±0.89)×109/L vs (4.04±0.99)×109/L, P =0.003], WBC (11.64±5.20)×109/L vs (9.11±4.11)×109/L, P = 0.014], HCT (0.41±0.07) vs (0.36±0.07), P =0.005) in the JAK2 V617F mutated group were higher than those in the wild-type group. PT in mutated patients was longer than that in wild-type group [(13.18±1.63) s vs (12.02±1.24) s, P = 0.000]. The JAK2 V617F mutation allele burden was (29.91 ±18.63) %. No significant correlation was found between JAK2 V617F mutation allele burden and hematological parameters such as WBC, RBC and Plt (all P>0.05), but the JAK2 V617F mutation allele burden had a significant correlation with FDP (r = 0.456, P = 0.001). Conclusions JAK2 V617F mutation occurs in significant percentage patients with ET. Detection of JAK2 V617F mutation allele burden at diagnosis may play an important role in the early prevention of vascular events.

Objective:
To investigate the relation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-induced immune escape to regulatory T cells(Treg) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC).
Methods:
We recruited 83 patients who were pathologically diagnozed as nasopharyngeal carcinoma and treated in Nanfang Hospital from January to September 2016. CD4+ CD25+ FOXP3+ Treg in peripheral blood was examined by flow cytometry and the level of EBV DNA in the blood was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)in 83 patients and 51 healthy adults as control. The expression of FOXP3+ Treg and EBER in NPC in 32 of 83 patients and in nasopharyngitis in 16 control patients were tested by immunohistochemistry(IHC) and in-situ hybridization(ISH).
Results:
The ratio of Treg in blood in patients with NPC(5.29±1.45)% was higher than that in control group (4.78±1.19) %, with a statistically significant difference(
