Objective To study the clinical characteristics, treatment methods and prognosis of primary gastrointestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PGI-DLBCL). Methods The clinical data of 40 patients with PGI- DLBCL were retrospectively analyzed. All the cases had received surgery treatment. Results In 40 patients with PGI-DLBCL, the major clinical presentation included abdominal pain in 15 cases (37.5%), abdominal mass in 6 cases (15.0%), abdominal discomfort in 5 cases (12.5%), abdominal distension in 5 cases (12.5%), and hematemesis in 5 cases (12.5%). Fifteen cases were misdiagnosed as gastric cancer, 5 cases as colon cancer, and 4 cases as digestive tract ulcer. The misdiagnosis rate was 60.0% (24/40). The survival rates of 1- , 2- and 3- year were 62.3%, 57.5% and 52.6%. The univariate analyses result showed that the clinical stage, international prognosis index (IPI) and treatment method were associated with survival rate (P<0.01), but the gender, age and disease distribution were not associated with survival rate (P > 0.05). The 3-year survival rate of clinical stage Ⅰ - Ⅱ was significantly higher than clinical stageⅢ-Ⅳ(68.0%vs. 13.3%), the 3-year survival rate of IPI 0-2 scores was significantly higher than 3 - 5 scores (66.7% vs. 7.6%), and the 3- year survival rate of surgery combined with postoperative chemotherapy was significantly higher than simple surgery (75.0%vs. 20.0%), there were statistical differences (P<0.01). Conclusions The patients with PGI- DLBCL have no obvious clinical manifestions and a higher misdiagnosed rate. Modified IPI, clinical stage and surgery combined with postoperative chemotherapy are the influencing factors of prognosis.

Objective It has been shown that adult brain is still capable of neurogenesis which can beinhibited by activation of NMDA receptor.Since lidocaine can inhibit NMDA-mediated excitatoryueurotransmission,we aimed to investigate the interaction between lidocaine and NMDA on the proliferation ofpheochromocytoma cells which are used as a model for central neuronal cells.Methods The PC 12 ceils culturedin vitro were divided into 6 groups:(1)control group,cultured in normal DMEM complete nutrient liquidmedium;(2)NMDA group,cultured in DMEM containing 400 ?mol?L~(-1) NMDA;(3)-(6)lidocaine group,cultured in DMEM medium containing 400 ?mol L~(-1) NMDA and 10,10~2,10~3 or 10~4 ?mol?L~(-1) lidocaine.After 5day incubation,the cell cycle progression was analysed using a flow cytometer.The percentage of cells in S-phase(S-phase fraction,SPF)was determined and proliferation activity(cells in S+G_2 phase/cells in M-phase)wascalculated.Results NMDA 400 ?mol?L~(-1) significantly decreased the SPF of PC12 cells in group 2 compared tocontrol group,and proliferation activity(S+G_2 phase/M-phase)was also significantly reduced(P0.05).The SPF of PC12 cell ingroup 3 and 6(10 and 10~4 ?mol?L~(-1) lidocaine)was also significantly higher than that in NMDA group butsignificantly lower than that in control group.Conclusion NMDA inhibits proliferation of PC12 cells whilelidocaine can antagonize the inhibitory effect of NMDA and promotes proliferation and differentiation of centralneuronal cells.
