Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2009;18(7):446-448
S-phase kinase associated protein (Skp2) assumes the high expression in the most of malignant tumors, with its occurrence, and the development and the prognosis is closely related with a latent diagnose and treat went value. This review will focus on unique feature, biology activity, the function mechanism and with malignant tumor relations of the Skp2.

Objective To assess the radiological imaging findings of hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor and to discuss the appropriate morphological classification.Methods A total of 22 patients with hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor confirmed by pathology were enrolled.Imaging performance of hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor were analyzed and the lesions were classified into appropriate type based on the imaging findings.Results Totally 23 lesions were found in 22 patients.The typical imaging features included great enhancement at later phase (13/20),moth eat en central necrosis (12/23) and peripheral shell (12/23).Seed in fruit was the most typical classification (8/23),followed by Seedless fruit (7/23).Conclusion Hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumur typically shows as a single nodular lesion with moth eaten necrosis and peripheral shell like a Seed in fruit.The enhancement at later phase (especially the peripheral enhancement) can be regarded as a particular feature.

In 2008, WHO classified chronic eosinophilic leukemia with rearranged PDGFRA、PDGFRB or FGFRI as myeloid / lymphoid neoplasm with eosinophilia and PDGFRA、PDGFRB or FGFR1rearrangement and CEL without these abnormalities but with other abnormal clonality as CEL not otherwise specified (CEL-NOS). The article expresses authors' opinion.

The treatment for adult refractory /relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a major challenge in clinical practice. Therapeutic strategies including high-dose single agent,intensified induction,new drugs,targeted therapy,and immunotherapy etc. may be of benefit to some patients. The post-remission treatments remain to be further developed.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia, is characterized by rapid progress, prone to developing DIC, and high mortality. Typical chromosome translocation with PMLRARα fusion gene occurs in more than 95% of APL cases. Since 1986, the outcome of APL has been significantly improved in our country by firstly using ATRA and ATO for treating APL, making APL of AML curable by chemotherapy only. Based on our limited experiences, we discussed the related problems in the treatment of APL.

Objective:The effect of naltrexone on function of murine peritoneal macrophage in vitro was studied in order to illuminate its immune activity futher. Methods:Peritoneal macrophages were divided in three groups:RPMI1640 blank control group, LPS positive control group and NTX treated group. Various phenotypic and functional indices were tested by MTS, flow cytometry technology,phagocytosis experiment and ELISA. Results: Compared with RPMI1640 group,at a LDN exhibits paradoxical properties;the expression of CD64 on surface increased while the expression of CD206 decreased in NTX group;the expression of tumour necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-1β(IL-1β)were increased. Conclusion:The results of experiment had proved that LDN could influence macrophage polarzation, regulate the inflamatory mediators production and affect the phagocytosis function of peritoneal macrophage.

Objective To analyze the surgical treatment of hemangioma of limbs complicated by Kasabach-Mcrritt phenomenon in children.Methods A retrospective study was carried out on 31 children with hemangioma of limbs complicated by Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon.Lower limbs were affected in 19 patients,and upper limbs in 12 patients.Twenty-six patients showed decreased platelet count ((2.6-60) × 109/L) and fibrinogen level (< 1 g/L),and 21 prolonged partial prothrombin time (> 50 seconds).All the patients who had responded poorly to medications including glucocorticoids received surgical treatment.Results Of these patients,30 were cured,and one died of massive blood loss.After surgical treatment,the platelet count returned to normal in 1-3 days in 25 patients,3-7 days in 4 patients,and more than 10 days in one patient.Conclusions For pediatric hemangiomas of limbs complicated by Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon,surgical treatment should be given as early as possible so as to reduce mortality in patients.

Objective:To observe the effects of allogeneic compact bone derived-mesenchymal stem cells ( CB-MSCs) on pro-liferation and differentiation of T cells,and investigate the molecular mechanisms of the immunosuppressive ability.Methods:With an established co-culture system of CB-MSCs and mouse spleen lymphocytes ( SP) in vitro,we observed the effects of CB-MSCs on prolif-eration,apoptosis and cell cycle of SP by MTS/PES assay and flow cytometry.Also,we measured the effects of CB-MSCs on regulatory T cells ( Treg) ratio and expressions of CCR5,CCR7 and CXCR3 in SP.Results:CB-MSCs could obviously inhibit the PHA-stimulated SP proliferation with a dose-dependent manner;MSCs could significantly inhibit the spontaneous apoptosis of SP and induce SP cell cycle G0/G1 phase arrest.After co-culture with SP,CB-MSCs could obviously increase the proportion of Treg in SP,down-regulate the expression of CXCR3 and CCR5,as well as up-regulate the expression of CCR7.Conclusion: Allogeneic CB-MSCs can significantly inhibit cell proliferation of SP,the mechanisms mainly involved the G0/G1 cell cycle arrest rather than apoptosis induction.In addition, CB-MSCs can exert immunomodulatory effects by increasing the Treg ratio,regulating the expressions of chemokine receptors.

Purpose To evaluate the clinical value of triple-rule-out (TRO) computed tomographic angiography using adaptive prospective ECG triggering for chest pain patients.Materials and Methods Sixty patients with chest pain were prospectively collected and randomly divided into group A and group B:group A (n=30) performed prospectively gated axial scan and group B (n=30) performed retrospectively gated helical scan.The vascular density,noise and muscle density of the vessels including aorta,pulmonary artery,coronary artery between the two groups were measured and analyzed.The vascular density/noise ratio,contrast noise ratio and effective dose (ED) between the two groups were calculated.The image quality and scanning radiation dose were compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in the image quality of aorta,pulmonary artery and coronary artery between group A and group B (P>0.05).The ED in group A was lower than that in group B [(5.90±2.10) mSv vs (11.31 ± 2.12) mSv,P<0.01].Conclusion The technique of TRO computed tomographic angiography triggered by adaptive prospective ECG can significantly reduce the radiation dose while ensuring image quality.
