1.Clinical analysis of primary pancreatic lymphoma and differential diagnosis of pancreatic cancer
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2014;(2):113-116
Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL). Methods:Clinical data of six PPL cases diagnosed and treated in the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results:In all cases, the primary clinical manifestations were abdominal pain, jaundice, and weight loss. The tumor marker level, including CA19-9, of all the cases was within the normal range, with five of the cases misdiagnosed as pancreatic cancer and one misdiagnosed as stomach cancer. In three cases, the pancreatic mass was located at the head of the pancreas, whereas in the other three, the mass was located at the body or tail. Pancreaticoduodenectomy was conducted in one case, laparotomy and biopsy in three cases, and B ultrasound-guided biopsy in the other two cases. All cases were diagnosed as PLL (B cell type non-Hodgkin's lymphoma). Ex-cept for one patient who left the hospital after surgery, the other five underwent chemotherapy. In addition to the death in one case be-cause of postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding, the survival times were 133, 73, 35, 12, and 10 months in the remaining cases. Conclu-sion:PPL is extremely rare in clinical practice, and the treatment methods and prognosis for the disease significantly differ from those for pancreatic cancer. PPL is easily misdiagnosed in clinical practice, which results in unnecessary treatment measures.

Objective To study the clinical value of serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels in children with severe pneumonia. Methods A total of 72 children with severe pneumonia in pediatric intensive care unit were divided into heart failure (HF) group and non-HF group according to the occurrence of heart failure, and 30 healthy children were selected as control group. Serum NT-ProBNP and cTnI levels were detected and analyzed. Results Compared with control group, NT-ProBNP and cTnI levels were signiifcantly higher (P<0.01) in HF and non-HF group. The levels of NT-ProBNP and cTnI in HFgroup were both signiifcantly higher (P<0.01) than that in non-HFgroup. Serum NT-ProBNP level was positively related to the level of cTnI(P=0.000) in children with severe pneumonia. The abnormal rate of cTnI in HF group was significantly higher (P=0.037) than that in non-HFgroup. The difference of the abnormal rate of NT-ProBNP between the two groups was not signiifcant (P=0.375), however, the abnormal rate of NT-ProBNP was signiifcantly higher (P=0.036) than that of cTnI in non-HF group. Conclusions There was obvious myocardial damage in children with severe pneumonia. NT-ProBNP and cTnI could be important serological markers to assist diagnosis of myocardial damage and its severity.
