Objective To study PTEN protein expression and clinical significance in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Methods Immunohistochemical staining was used to determine the PTEN protein expression in 40 cases of primary diffuse large B lymphoma tissuse. The results were analyzed by Kaplan-Merie survival analysis, Log-Rank test and Logistic regression analysis. Results PTEN protein was positive in 16 cases and negative in 24 cases. There was no significant difference between two groups in twoyear overall survival rate(62.5 % vs 66.7 %, P >0.05). Survival analysis showed that patient' s survival time gradually were reduced with extended time between PTEN protein-positive group and negative group, lower in PTEN-positive group than the negative group, but there was no significant difference in survival curve (P >0.05) in the two groups. We compared characteristics of patients between PTEN protein positive and negative groups,including molecular type, patient' s age, stage, LDH, physical score and extranodular invasion, there was no significant difference among them. PTEN protein was not correlated with prognosis, while International Prognosis Index(IPI) was still a risk factor (OR >1). Conclusion PTEN protein expression may not predict the outcome in diffuse large B cell lymphoma, but IPI still is a predictor.

Objective To explore the prognostic significance of p53 mutation protein in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma for the purpose of individualized therapy. Methods Newly diagnosed 62 cases were randomly chosen from our hospital, p53 mutation protein and CD10, bcl-6, MUM1 were tested by immunohistochemistry. Correlation of p53 mutation protein with patients ' characteristics, genotype and survival were analysed in the study. Results p53 mutation protein was found in 48.4 % (30/62) of patients.Its expression was only related to initial treatment response (x2 =20.365, P =0.040), including complete remission rate of 33.3 % (10/30) in positive group and 59.4 % (19/32) in negative group, and non-germinal center genotype (x2=31.023, P =0.021) with 83.3 % in positive group and 56.2 % in negative group. No other correlation was not verified with clinical features. Multivariate survival analysis showed that p53 mutation protein was an independent predictor for shorter progress-free and overall survival in positive group (x2 =30.784, P =0.005 and x2 =35.276, P =0.006). Conclusion p53 mutation protein should be an independent predictor with poor prognosis and to direct personalized therapy.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of primary pulmonary peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS). Methods Two cases of primary pulmonary PTCL-NOS were studied and relevant literature were reviewed. Results Case 1 diagnosed as primary pulmonary PTCL-NOS was a 44 years old woman and disease progressed after GLD (Gem+L-OHP+DXM) chemotherapy regimen. At last, the patient died of respiratory failure after one month. Case 2 diagnosed as primary pulmonary PTCL-NOS was a 46 years old man and reach partial response after CHOP regimen, and still alive now.Conclusion Primary pulmonary PTCL-NOS is very rare. It is easy to be misdiagnosed due to non-specific clinical and imaging manifestations. Acquiring enough tissue specimens for pathologic examination is the key to a definitive diagnosis. At present, there is no standard chemotherapy regimen for these patients, the prognosis is relatively poor.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sequential platinum regimen in young patients with diffuse large B-cell lym-phoma (DLBCL). Methods:Newly diagnosed young patients with DLBCL, who were hospitalized from January 2005 to June 2012 in the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University, were selected according to the requirements. The patients were divided into stan-dard and sequential platinum regimen groups. The remission rates were compared usingχ2 test, whereas the five-year survival rates between the two groups were compared using the Kaplan–Meier method. Multivariate survival analysis was performed using the Cox proportional regression. Subgroup analysis was conducted to select candidate patients for the sequential platinum regimen. Results:A total of 331 patients were enrolled in the study, in which 129 were provided with sequential platinum regimen and 202 were provided with the standard regimen. Sequential regimen yielded higher rates of complete remission (80%vs. 63%, P=0.001), five-year progres-sion-free survival (PFS;60%vs. 50%, P=0.014), and overall survival (OS;70%vs. 58%, P=0.016) than the standard regimen. Multivariate analysis revealed that sequential regimen was an independent prognostic factor for PFS (hazard ratio HR=0.635, P=0.012) and OS (HR=0.625, P=0.021). Subgroup analysis showed that patients with good prognosis and patients who did not receive rituximab benefited more from the sequential platinum regimen. Sequential platinum regimen did not increase the occurrence of adverse effects com-pared with the standard regimen. Conclusion:Sequential platinum regimen is a safe treatment that can improve the survival of young patients with DLBCL. Patients with good prognosis and patients who did not receive rituximab can benefit more from the treatment with sequential platinum regimen.

Objective To explore the impacts of short-term continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy on insulin secretion and sensitivity in newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Methods Ten patients(7 males, 3 females) with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes accepted a 2-week course of intensive CSII therapy during June 2006 and February 2007. Hyperinsulinemia euglycemia clamp test and intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) were performed before and after CSII. Results (1) None of the patients had acute insulin response (AIR) before CSII treatment, and most of them had a partial restoration after 2-week intensive therapy. The AIR after CSII was significantly increased [(7.63±4.73 vs 0.83±1.96)mU/L, P<0.01]. The patients whose AIR restored better tend to be younger and obeser. (2) The glucose infusion rate (GIR) before CSII in the newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients was significantly lower than that in healthy controls [(2.30±0.81 vs after 2-week CSII therapy (P<0.01). The patients whose GIR increased greatly had significantly lower waist circumferences and body mass index, and higher basal blood glucose levels. Conclusion Normalization of blood glucose levels by transient intensive CSII therapy improves pancreas β-cell function and insulin sensitivity, which seems to contribute to the long-term diabetic remission.
