1.Recent advances in aetiology and molecular genetics of MALT lymphoma
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2009;18(6):376-379
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT} lymphoma is a low grade B-cell lymphoma arising from MALT of extra-nodal. A link of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection with gastric MALT lymphoma was confirmed in the early years. Currently, growing evidence indicates that development of non-gastric MALT lymphoma is also associated with infections by microbial pathogens. t(l1;18)(q21;q21)、t(l;14)(p22;q32) and t (14;18)(q32;q21) are specifically associated with MALT lymphoma, which occur at variable incidences in MALT lymphoma of different sites. The oncogenic activity of these three chromosome translocations is linked by antigen receptor-mediated NF-κB activation.In addition, a number of novel genetic abnormalities have been recently identified in MALT lymphoma. The findings of these microbial pathogens and molecular genetics would be helpful in better understanding the pathogenesis of MALT lymphoma and also useful for the diagnosis at early stage and proper treatments of MALT lymphoma.

China Pharmacy 1991;0(06):-
OBJECTIVE: To study the status quo and features of serious ADR case in our hospital in order to improve the rational use of drug. METHODS: A total of 215 cases of serious ADR collected in our hospital in 2008 were evaluated and analyzed statistically, according to causality of ADR criteria. RESULTS: Sex and age have nothing to do with serious ADR. The ADR were predominantly induced by antimicrobial drugs accounting for 28.21% (n=101), followed by antipyretic,analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs and antirheumatic 12.85% (n=46) and TCM preparation 11.73% (n=42). Organs and systems involved in ADR were characterized by the damage of skin and its appendants (33.49%, n=73), followed by liver lesion in 70 cases (32.11%). 160 improved cases, 54 cured cases and 1 sequela cases were include in 215 cases of serious ADR reports. CONCLUSION: Several factors result in serious ADR,so rational use of drug should be enhanced to reduce and avoid occurrence of ADR and guarantee the safety and effectiveness of drug therapy.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of MRS in prostate cancer based on sextant localization. Methods There were 110 patients, 54 patients with pathologically confirmed prostate cancer and 56 patients confirmed non-prostate cancer proved by ultrasound guided systemic biopsy. The (choline + creatine)/citrate (CC/C) value in each voxel and ratio of positive voxel (PVR) in sextant localization were measured. The ROC analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of CC/C in single voxel and PVR in sextant localization. Results There are 1673 and 2426 voxel in prostate cancer and non-prostate cancer respectively. The median of CC/C in cancer sextants was 2. 137; the median of CC/C in noncancer sextants was 0. 600. The difference of these two groups was statistically significant (Z = -41.7, P < 0. 01 ). The diagnostic sensitivity was 81.4% ( 1362/1673 ), the specificity was 83.1% (2018/2426), and the accuracy was 82.4% [ (1362+2018)/4099] for prostatic cancer with the cutoff point 0. 911 of the CC/C value. The median of PVR in cancer sextants and noncancer sextants were 1 and 0 respectively, the difference of PVR was statistically significant (Z = -11.7,P < 0.01 ). The diagnostic sensitivity was 77. 5% (148/191), the specificity was 76. 9% (247/321), and the accuracy was 77. 1% [ ( 148 + 247 )/ 512] for prostatic cancer with the cutoff point 0. 519 of the PVR. Conclusion Detecting the cutoff point of the CC/C value in single voxel and the PVR in sextant localization may be valuable in the diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Objective To compare anatomic resection (AR) and non-anatomic resection (NAR)for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as a factor in preventing intra-hepatic recurrence and local recurrence after the initial surgical procedure.Methods A systematic review and Meta-analysis of nonrandomized trials comparing anatomic resection with non-anatomic resection for HCC published from 1990to 2010 in PubMed and Medline,Coehrane Library,Embase,and Science Citation Index were searched.Intra-hepatic recurrence,including early and late recurrence,and local recurrence were primary outcomes.5-year survival and 5-year disease-free survival were secondary outcomes.Pooled effect was calculated by utilizing either fixed effects model or random effects model.Result Eleven nonrandomized studies including 1576 patients were identified and analyzed.810 patients were in the AR group and 766 were in the NAR group.Patients in the AR group were characterized by lower prevalence of cirrhosis,more favorable hepatic function,and larger tumor size and higher prevalence of macrovascular invasion compared with patients in the NAR group.Anatomic resection significantly reduced the risks of local recurrence (OR,0.27; 95% CI,-0.17~0.43; P<0.001) and achieved a better 5-year disease-free survival (OR,2.10; 95% CI,-1.41 ~3.12; P=0.001) in HCC patients.Also,anatomic resection was marginally effective in decreasing early intra-hepatic recurrence.However,anatomic resection was not advantageous in preventing late intra-hepatic recurrence.No significant differences were found between the AR and NAR groups with respect to postoperative morbidity,mortality,and length of hospitalization.Conclusion Anatomic resection was recommended to be superior to non-anatomic resection in reducing the risks of local recurrence,early intra-hepatic recurrence and achieving a better 5-year disease-free survival in HCC patients.

Objective To analysis the clinical and pathological features, results of laboratory tests and prognosis of nephrotic syndrome (NS) in patients with non-heamatological maligancy. Methods The data were collected from 25 patients who presented with NS around the diagnosis of non-heamatological malignancy. Results Twenty-five cases were investigated (age: (56.6±17.7) years; male/female ratio: 20/5). Malignancy and NS occurred within one year in 92% patients. There was a wide distribution of malignancy with involvement of 36% in digestive system and 20% in respiratory system. Ten patients (40%) presented with NS as their initial manifestation. Heamaturia appeared in 67% patients and acute renal insufficiency was complicated in 12% cases before treatments. Some other non-specific laboratory tests were found including elevated serum gamma-globulin in 50% and anemia not related with renal failure in 28% cases. Membranous nephropathy was the most common pathological changes in 67% cases. Although NS still continued for several weeks in 8 of 9 cases after surgery and/or chemical therapy, glucocorticoids was helpful to achieve the remission in these patients. However, no remission was achieved in patients without the treatment for malignancy. Conclusion Malignancy may present with NS as its initial manifestation. It should be inspected routinely and regularly in elder patients with NS, especially in those with membranous nephropathy, as well as gamma-globulinemia and anemia.
