Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 1993;0(03):-
Objective To investigate the clinical and pathological features of children malignant lymphoma.Method A retrospective study was carried out to analyse the clinical,laboratory and pathological data in 65 patients with malignant lymphoma.Results In the chidren malignant lymphoma,the incidence of nonHodgkin′s lymphoma(NHL) was more than that of Hodgkin′s disease(HL),the ratio of NHL to HL was 2.25∶1.The peak incidence of age was among 6 to 9 years old,the ratio of male to female is about(3.5∶1.)NHL of our children was mostly consised of lymphoblastic lymphoma,anaplastic large-cell lymphoma,diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Burkitt′s lymphoma.The clinical manifestations were predominantly presented with peripheral nodes intumescing,mediastinal tumeur,abdominal tumeur,bone marrow infiltration.In patients with Hodgkin′s disease,mixed cellularity was the most common pathological category,and cervical painless lymphadenectasis was usually the initial signs in most patients,sometimes accompanied with infiltration of celiac lymph nodes,spleen and bone marrow.Conclusions NHL of our children differs from that of adult in the clinical feature and pathology,while HL of our patients is similar to adults.Since the prognosis of the malignant lymphoma is determined by its pathology,immunohistochemistry plays an important role in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis.J Appl Clin Pediatr,2006,21(3):160-161

BACKGROUND:Existing evidence has confirmed that umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel s have an effect on functional recovery of a variety of damaged cel s.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel transplantation on ovarian cancer chemotherapy.
METHODS:Sixty healthy adult female Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group, damage group and treatment group (n=20/group). There was no treatment in the control group, and a rat model of ovarian cancer chemotherapy damage was made in the damage group and treatment group. After successful modeling, rats in the control group were given normal saline injection via the tail vein, and those in the damage and treatment groups were given paclitaxel chemotherapy and pacligaxel chemotherapy plus umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel transplantation, respectively. After transplantation of 2 weeks, mRNA and protein expressions of XAF1 and Survivin in ovarian tumor tissues were detected by RT-PCR and western blot assay, respectively. Apoptosis in ovarian cancer cel s were detected using TUNEL method.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the damage group, a significant up-regulation of XAF1 mRNA and protein but a remarkable down-regulation of Survivin mRNA and protein were obtained in the treatment group (P<0.05). A severe damage to the ovarian tissues was visible in the damage group, presenting with large hemorrhage and necrosis area. This damage was markedly reduced in the treatment group. Additional y, the apoptotic rate of ovarian cancer cel s was significantly higher in the treatment group than the damage group (P<0.05). Al these findings indicate that umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel transplantation aids in ovarian cancer chemotherapy to promote ovarian tissue repair in rats, and XAF1 and Survivin cannot be ignored in tumor angiogenesis and ovarian cancer cel apoptosis.
