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 investigate the expression level and clinical value of serum miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5p in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods:The clinical data of 152 patients with AP admitted to Danzhou people's Hospital from January 2017 to September 2020 were selected. According to the severity of their illness, they were divided into MAP group ( n=70), MSAP group ( n=40), and SAP group ( n=42). The SAP group was divided into survival group ( n=25) and death group ( n=17) according to the prognosis of the patients. Another 50 healthy people were selected as the control group. Fastening venous blood was collected on the day of onset, and the expression levels of serum miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5p in each group were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. The expression levels of serum miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5p were analyzed to evaluate the prognosis of SAP. The correlation between serum miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5p expression levels in SAP patients was analyzed by Pearson method. Results:The expression levels of serum miR-148a-3p (3.18±1.27 vs 0.96±0.28) and miR-551b-5p (1.94±0.85 vs 0.51±0.12) in AP group were significantly higher than those in control group ( P<0.001). The expression levels of serum miR-148a-3p (4.36±1.70 vs 2.84±1.10, 2.50±0.92) and miR-551b-5p (2.80±1.04 vs 1.68±0.53, 1.42±0.45) in SAP group were significantly higher than those in MSAP group and MAP group ( P<0.001). The expression levels of serum miR-148a-3p (5.30±1.95 vs 3.47±1.40) and miR-551b-5p (3.62±1.37 vs 2.08±0.91) in death group were significantly higher than those in survival group ( P<0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of the combination of miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5 in judging the prognosis of SAP was significantly higher than that of the single index of miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5[0.943(95% CI0.886-0.997) vs 0.860(95% CI0.797-0.924), 0.822(95% CI0.795-0.880)], with a sensitivity of 98.3% and specificity of 84.6%. Correlation analysis showed that there were positive correlation between the expression level of serum miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5p in SAP patients ( r=0.835, P<0.001). Conclusions:The expression levels of miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5p in serum of AP patients were significantly increased, and the combined detection of miR-148a-3p and miR-551b-5p had a good value in judging the prognosis of SAP.

Objective To investigate the molecular epidemiology and risk factors of the expression of the efflux pumps of multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa). Method From April 2014 to October 2014 , clinical features of 100 patients infected with multidrug resistant Pa were retrospectivly analyzed . Results MexAB-OprM was expressed in all multidrug resistant Pa strains (100%). The expression rates of MexEF-OprN and MexCD-OprJin the multidrug resistant Pa strains were 50% and 36%, respectively. The risk factor of the three efflux pumps expression was analyzed and the results were as follows: the use of carbapenems and glycopeptides antibiotics was the risk factor of MexAB-OprM overexpression which was induced. The use of macrolide and carbapenems antibiotics was the risk factor of the induced MexEF-OprN and MexCD-OprJ expression. Invasive procedures, low WBC, anaemia, chronic fundamental disease and hospitalized in ICU ward were the common risk factors of communicable expression or overexpression of the three efflux pumps. Invasive procedures, low WBC, anaemia, chronic fundamental disease and hospitalized in ICU ward were commonly independent risk factors of expression of the three efflux pumps. Conclusion The normalized use of carbapenems and glycopeptides antibiotics , the reduction of unnecessary invasive procedures , the severely grasped standard of hospitalized in ICU ward , curing the fundamental diseases and improving the immunonity played important roles in the prevention of the expression or overexpression of the efflux pumps of multidrug resistant Pa.

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.

Objective To investigate the clinic value of procalcitonin( PCT)and c-reactive protein ( CRP)in differential diagnosis for febrile diseases. Methods One hundred and forty patients with febrile diseases in May 2009 to February 2014 in the No. 309th Hospital of People Liberation Army were investigated and analyzed retrospectively. Based on discharge diagnosis,patients were divided into bacterial infection group( n=58),non-bacterial infection group(n=47)and rheumatic diseases group(n=35),another 40 healthy people were served as the control group. Serum PCT and CRP were detected and compared in four groups. One month after backing to normal temperature in all the patients,detected serum PCT and CRP again. Results Serum PCT and CRP level in bacterial infection group,non-bacterial infection group,rheumatic diseases group and control group were(5. 18 ± 1. 92)and(0. 45 ± 0. 22),(0. 34 ± 0. 13)and(0. 16 ± 0. 05)μg/L,(25. 31 ± 4. 24), (1. 94 ± 0. 37 ),( 62. 32 ± 15. 10 ) and( 1. 30 ± 0. 04 ) mg/L respectively. Serum PCT and CRP level in bacterial infection group were significantly higher than that in control group(P﹤0. 01). Even though serum PCT and CRP level in non-bacterial group slightly higher than that of healthy control group,there was no statistical difference(P﹥0. 05). Serum PCT and CRP level in bacterial infection group were significantly higher than that of non-bacterial infection group( P ﹤0. 01 ). Serum CRP level in rheumatic diseases group was significantly higher than that of healthy control group( P﹤0. 01),while PCT level only slightly higher compared with healthy control group(P﹥0. 05). One month after backing to normal temperature in all the patients,serum PCT and CRP level in bacterial infection group reduced significantly compared with that of febrile period( P ﹤0. 01). Serum PCT and CRP level in non-bacterial infection group were no significant change( P﹥0. 05 ),and serum CRP level in rheumatic diseases group reduced significantly( P﹤0. 01 ),while serum PCT were no significant change(P﹥0. 05). Conclusion Serum PCT combined with CRP might be of great importance in the differential diagnosis for febrile diseases.
