Objective To evaluate hemodynamic status,pathological,imaging and ultrasound changes of residual lymph nodes from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after chemotherapy and their relationship with clinical treatment after chemotherapy.Methods 50 DLBCL patients undergoing full course of chemotherapy but still bearing residual lymph nodes were examined with ultrasound-guided lymph node biopsy.Some examinations were combined with PET-CT to analyze properties of residual lymph nodes.Results 64 lymph nodes were identified by color Doppler ultrasounda in the 50 DLBCL patients treated with full course of chemotherapy.Among them,53 lymph nodes from 42 patients did not show artery blood flow and HE staining of these lymph node biopsy met the clinical standard for complete remission.For the other 11 lymph nodes from 8 patients,ultrasound examination displayed smrounding blood flow inside.At the same time,PET-CT showed that these lymph nodes had higher SUV values,implying high metabolic state in these tissues,which was in agreement with ultrasonic examination results.However,HE staining of these lymph nodes biopsy demonstrated only residual lesion but no tumor tissue.Conclusions Lymph nodes still exist in DLBCL patients treated with full course of chemotherapy.Ultrasound and PET-CT examination have high accuracy in diagnosing benign and malignant residual lymph nodes in follow-up examination on 4 weeks after chemotherapy showed that lymph nodes are over ＞ 1.5 cm in length and have central or peripheral blood flow.Therefore,PET-CT examination of tumor could be considered as a reference index in characterizing residual tumors after chemotherapy.

Objective To detect the expression of β-catenin in the tissues of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), and to discuss its function in PCNSL.Methods The paraffin embedded tissues from 10 patients diagnosed as PCNSL from October 2010 to April 2012 were collected as the experimental group.The paraffin embedded tissues from 10 patients with lymphadenitis were collected as the control group.Quantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemical method were used to detect the expression of β-catenin in these tissues, and the relationships between β-catenin and clinical data were analyzed.Results Immunohistochemistry results showed that β-catenin protein was localized in the cytoplasm and (or) nucleus.Among 10 PCNSL patients, β-catenin protein was positive in 4 patients, while it was no positive in all of 10 lymphadenitis patients, with the significant differences between both groups (P ＜ 0.05).The β-catenin gene relative expression level was 4.70±0.57 and 1.00±0.27 in the experimental group and the control group, respectively.β-catenin expression was no correlation to age, PS score, cerebrospinal fluid protein level and serum lactate dehydrogenase level of patients with PCNSL.Conclusions Whether in mRNA level or in protein level, β-catenin expression is always high in PCNSL tissues, and its protein is expressed in the cytoplasm, however, this phenomenon was not observed in the tissue of lymphadenitis.

The pathogenesis of diabetes is complicated by several factors including autoimmunity, environment, heredi?ty, and etc. Autophagy is a kind of intracellular biodegradation processes, which plays an important role in intracellular ho?meostasis of islet cells. In diabetes, autophagy is involved in the endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammatory, and it affects the development of the disease. In this paper, we reviewed the interactions of autophagy with endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial dysfunction with inflammation in diabetes in order to investigate the patho?genesis of diabetes, to find new strategies for prevention or treatment of diabetes.

Objective To study the clinical value of whole －body magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging(WB－DWI) in evaluating the chemotherapy response for lung cancer,thus to provide evidence for optimizing clinical imaging examination. Methods From October 2017 to May 2018,60 patients with lung cancer confirmed by histopathology in Linfen Central Hospital were selected. The patients underwent DWI examinations before chemotherapy and after two cycles of chemotherapy. The change of tumor size,distant metastasis and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value were compared before and after chemotherapy. The correlation between the change rate of ADC value and the shrinkage rate of tumor size in the effective group was analyzed. Results Of 60 cases,1 case had new cerebral metastases after chemotherapy. There were statistically significant differences in ADC value [(1. 12 ± 0.33) ×10 －3mm2/svs.(1.56±0.40) ×10 －3mm2/s]andtumorsize[(4.63±2.75)cmvs.(2.28±1.45)cm] between before and after chemotherapy in the effective group(t= －3. 954,4. 711,all P＜0. 01). There was correlation between the change of ADC value and tumor size(r=0. 34,P＜0. 05). Conclusion WB－DWI can not only detect the change of tumor size and distant metastasis quickly and effectively,but also can observe the microscopic changes of tumor cells by measuring ADC value. So it can predict the early therapeutic response of the tumor and make effective evaluation for the staging and chemotherapy response of lung cancer.
