Objective:To investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of primary ovarian lymphoma(POL). Methods:A retrospective review was performed based on the clinical records of 14 POL cases treated at Tianjin Medical University Oncology in-stitute Hospital verity from 2000-6 to 2010-5. Results:The median age of patients was 47 years at presentation(range 28~62years). Ab-dominal pain was the most common initial symptom. The majority of histological subtype was B cell lymphoma, above 50%of which is diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A R0 resection was carried out in 2 patients who were lost to follow-up soon after sur-gery. 11 patients were treated by CHOP, FC or CHOPE chemotherapy. Chemotherapy combined with rituximab were given to 5 pa-tients. Until now, 5 patients were alive, 6 patients died, and only one patient was lost to follow up after therapy. Conclusion:POL is an extremely rare lymphoma. The ultimate diagnosis depends on histopathologic examination. Primary ovarian non-Hodgkin lymphoma should be treated with multi-modality strategies. Treatment with doxorubicin-based chemotherapy after oophorotomy is recommended. B cell lymphoma preferred to use rituximab combination chemotherapy. Abdominal cavity chemotherapy prophylaxis and irradiation can decrease the probability for recurrence .

BACKGROUND:Although the preparation of bone tissue engineering scaffolds can achieve satisfactory results by solvent casting/particulate leaching, in situ molding method, electrospinning, phase seperation/freeze drying, gas foaming, there are stil some deficiencies in the accuracy, pore uniformity, spatial structure complexity, personalized stents. ＜br> OBJECTIVE:To prepareβ-tricalcium phosphate bone tissue engineering scaffolds using 3D printing. ＜br> METHODS:Drug-loadedβ-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds were prepared with 3D printing, and the structure was observed to measure its porosity and mechanical strength. The scaffold was immersed in simulated body fluid for 15 weeks to observe the quality change. The scaffold was co-cultured with rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells for 7 days to observe celladhesion and morphological changes. Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were cultured in extracts of drug-loadedβ-tricalcium phosphate scaffold and low-glucose Dulbecco's modified Eagle’s medium containing 15%fetal bovine serum for 24, 48, and 72 hours, to determine the absorbance values and cytotoxicity grading, respectively. Meanwhile, the cells were subjected to osteogenic culture for 1 week, and ＜br> the alkaline phosphatase activities in two groups were detected. ＜br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The prepared scaffold showed irregular micropores, high porosity, uniform pore distribution, high pore connectivity rate, and large compressive strength. The drug-loadedβ-tricalcium phosphate scaffold degraded completely with 15 weeks, and cancellous bone defect repair was completed in the same period. Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells adhered to the surface of drug-loadedβ-tricalcium phosphate scaffold and went deep into the scaffold, showing good growth and proliferation. The activity of alkaline phosphatase was also improved. These findings indicate that the drug-loadedβ-tricalcium phosphate scaffold has good biocompatibility.

Objective:To explore the value of preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR),preoperative platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR),changes between pre and postoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio(postoperative NLR/preoperative NLR) and changes between pre and postoperative platelet-lymphocyte ratio(postoperative PLR/preoperative PLR) in predicting the occurrence of anastomotic leakage after surgery in patients of rectal cancer.Methods: 187 rectal cancer patients in the Gastrointestinal Surgery Department in the First Affiliated Hospital of Southwestern Medical University during March,2015-March,2016 were included in our study.Preoperative NLR,preoperative PLR,changes between pre and postoperative NLR and changes between pre and postoperative PLR were observed.At the same time we included age,gender,pathological staging,stage of lymph node metastasis,tumor differentiation,distance between tumor and anus in our study.χ2 test or Fisher′s exact value was used in the univariate analysis,while Logistic Regression Analysis was used in the multivariate analysis.Results: The univariate analysis showed that preoperative NLR (Fisher′s exact value=7.242),preoperative PLR (χ2=6.787),changes between pre and postoperative NLR (χ2=15.656),PLR (χ2=9.298),age (χ2=4.813) and distance between tumor and anus(χ2=5.951) were related to anastomotic leakage(P<0.05).Other risk factors such as,gender(χ2=0.001),pathological staging (Fisher′s exact value =2.107),stage of lymph node metastasis(Fisher′s exact value =1.298),tumor differentiation (Fisher′s exact value =2.206),and were not associated with anastomotic leakage (P>0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that the preoperative NLR(OR=1.647,P=0.000),change between pre and postoperative NLR (OR=1.880,P=0.000)and distance between tumor and anus(OR=4.364,P=0.048) were associated with anastomotic leakage.Conclusion: preoperative NLR,change between pre and postoperative NLR and distance between tumor and anus are independent risk factors for anastomotic leakage after rectal anterior resection.

Objective To investigate the effect of bortezomib combined with doxorubicin on lymphoblastic lymphoma cell line Molt-4.Methods Molt-4 cells were cultured in the presence of bortezomib and doxorubicin,cell viability was monitored by CCK-8 and trypan-blue exclusion.Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry and mitochondrial membrane potential,expression of Fas was also measured with flow cytometry.Results Molt-4 cell proliferation was substantially inhibited in concentration-dependent manners when treated with either bortezomib or doxorubicin.The combination of both drugs synergistically inhibited Molt-4 cell proliferation at 48 hours [(57.24±0.10) ％].Combination therapy further enhanced bortezomib and doxorubicin induced apoptosis [48 h (23.08±1.25) ％] (P ＜ 0.05).Detection of mitochondrial membrane potential showed that combination therapy could promote apoptosis (15.84 ％,5.38 ％,5.52 ％) but did not significantly change the level of Fas expression (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Combination therapy of bortezomib with doxorubicin efficiently inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of Molt-4 cells.Activation of mitochondrial and intrinsic apoptotic pathway may play important roles.

Polysaccharides with multiple biological activities are usually considered as one of the major bioactive compounds in Chinese medicines (CMs). At present, the development of drug and functional foods related to polysaccharides have attracted a great deal of attention due to their great potential effects and diverse action mechanisms. However, quality control of polysaccharides is the bottleneck and a challenge due to their complexity and chemical diversity. Actually, the bioactivities of polysaccharides are closely related to their molecular structures. In order to ensure their safety and efficacy, the development of novel approaches based on the molecular structures for the improvement of quality control of polysaccharides is significantly important. Therefore, in this article, the relationship between biological activities and chemical structures, as well as the action mechanisms of polysaccharides from CMs were summarized first. Furthermore, saccharide mapping, a novel strategy for quality control of bioactive polysaccharides from CMs, was introduced and the application and perspectives were also discussed.
