Objective:To explore the relationship of lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3 (LFA-3, CD58) expression in glioma with clinical features and its role in clinical prognosis. Methods:Clinical data and mRNA microarray data of 514 patients with glioma were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas and were used to study the expression of LFA-3 (CD58). Cox regression was used to analyze the relationship between CD58 expression and survival of patients with glioma. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to further analyze the relationship of CD58 with age, sex, and pathological grade of glioma. Results:The results of the stratified χ2 test of CD58 expression and tumor grading were shown, considering tumor type, gender and age of diagnosis (all P<0.05). CD58 expression was sig-nificantly correlated with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of patients with glioma. Patients with high CD58 expres-sion presented short OS and DFS (P<0.0001). Conclusion:CD58 possibly promotes tumorigenesis in gliomas and thus can serve as a potential tumor diagnostic marker and individual therapeutic target.

Hypoxia exists in a wide range of advanced solid tumors and is often associated with poor prognosis.Hypoxia can enhance tumor invasion, promote tumor angiogenesis, impact genomic stability and change the tumor microenvironment by activating expression of relevant genes through hypoxia-induced factors (HIFs).Hypoxia provides favorable conditions for tumor metastasis and relapse, and it is involved in all aspects of tumor development.The study of hypoxia in tumors may provide useful information for pre-clinical evaluation, individualized treatment and clinical prognosis.Positron emission tomography (PET) is a non-invasive imaging method, which can be used for assessing and quantifying tumor hypoxic microenvironment.This article reviews the mechanisms of hypoxia-induced tumor biological behavior changes and the research progress of the application of radiotracers for PET imaging of tumor hypoxia.

Periampullary carcinoma includes carcinoma of head of pancreas, carcinoma of lower common bile duct, ampullary carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of duodenum. Most of the periampullary cancers shows the same clinical symptoms their imaging manifestations are overlapping or non-specific. Accurate qualitative positioning and staging of periampullary cancers are of great value in guiding of treatment plan and evaluate postoperative outcomes. CT and MRI examination have made progress in the diagnosis of periampullary carcinoma. CT scan has a good spatial and temporal resolution, while MRI has a good tissue resolution. CT and MRI examination can be used for preoperative assessment of tumor resectability and invasion range, which is of certain value.

BACKGROUND: Lack of human leucocyte antigen-matched family donors has restricted the application of hematopoietic cell transplantation. Due to immunological disorder of humam leucocyte antigen misfit, common way for haploidentical transplantation is associated with poor engraftment and severe graft-versus-host disease. Because not every patient has HLA-Jdentical family member, a substantial proportion of patients will receive haploidentical transplantation. OBJECTIVE: To explore the curative effect on malignant hematological diseases of haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) using myeloablative conditioning regimen in combination of proper immunosuppressants without in vitro T-cell depletion. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A case observation was performed at the Department of Hematology in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from July 2002 to June 2008. PARTICIPANTS: Forty-two patients with malignant hematological diseases, including 29 standard-risk patients and 13 high-risk patients, age from 10 to 48 years, were transplanted with cells from a haploidentical family donor with 1-3 mismatched loci of HLA antigens. Seven patients had 1 locus mismatched donors and thirty-five patients had 2-3 loci mismatched donors. METHODS: The patients have received myeloablative conditioning regimen. A two-agent based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was used as cyclospodne A and a short course of methotrexate. Mycophenolate mofetile was added for 1 locus mismatched patients. Mycophenolate mofetile, antithymocyte globulin and CD25 mono-colonal antibody were added for 2-3 loci mismatched patients. The grafts were granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized peripheral blood stem cells without in vitro T-cell depletion. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Engraftment, GVHD incidence and severity, relapse and leukemia-free survival and the immune function of patients in months 1, 3, 6, 12 and 18 postoperatively. RESULTS: Totally 42 patients achieved complete and sustained donor-type engraftment. Nineteen patients developed acute GVHD, the 2-year cumulative incidences of acute GVHD were 50.8%, gradeⅠ acute GVHD occurred in 16 cases and grade Ⅱ in 3 cases. Thirty-one patients were followed up more than 6 months, 23 of them developed chronic GVHD with limited in 20 and extensive in 3, the 2-year cumulative incidences of chronic GVHD were 57.1%. No patients died of GVHD. There were no significant differences in the reduction and recovery of T cells and B cells between HLA haploidentical PBSCT without in vitro T cell depletion and HLA-matched PBSCT. CONCLUSION: Haploidentical PBSCT is feasible and safe for malignant hematological diseases to use myeloablative conditioning regiment combination of intensive immunosuppressants without in vitro T cell depletion. A large amount of clinical cases need to be investigated in the near future.

Objective To explore the clinical outcome of HLA haploidentical vs HLA-matcbed peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) without in vitro T-cell depletion for malignant hematological diseases. Methods 111 patients with malignant hematological diseases underwent PBSCT without in vitro T-cell depletion between May 2004 and February 2009, including 51 patients with HLA-haploidentical and 60 patients with HLA-matched. All patients have received myeloablative conditioning regimen. A two-agent based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was used as cyclosporine A and a short course of methotrexate. Mycophenolate mofetile was added for the patients with one locus mismatch. Mycophenolate mofetile, antithymocyte globulin and CD25 monoclonal antibody were added for the patients with 2-3 loci mismatch. The grafts were granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized peripheral blood stem cells without in vitro T-cell depletion. Results 111 patients achieved sustained and full donor-type engraftment. The median time to reach an absolute neutrophil count above 0.5×10~9/L was 14 days and that to a platelet count exceeding 20×10~9/L was 15 days in 51 HLA-haploidentical patients, and that was 12 days and 13 days in 60 HLA-matched patients, respectively. In 51 HLA-haploidentical patients, 25 patients developed aGVHD, including 20 cases of grade Ⅰ aGVHD, and 5 cases of grade Ⅱ. Thirty-three patients developed cGVHD with limited in 30 and extensive in 3. The 4-year cumulative incidence of cGVHD was 70.4 %. The 3-year probabilities of leukemia-free survival (LFS) were 74.5% (77.3 % for standard risk patients and 68.2 % for high risk patients respectively). Seven patients had recurrence. In 60 HLA-matched patients, 14 patients developed aGVHD, including 10 cases of grade Ⅰ, 2 cases of grade Ⅱ and 2 cases of grade Ⅲ. Thirty-seven patients developed cGVHD with limited in 32 and extensive in 5. The 4-year cumulative incidence of cGVHD was 58.1%. The 3-year probabilities of LFS were 72.1% (77.6 % for standard risk patients and 52.7 % for high risk patients respectively). Ten patients had recurrence. The incidence of aGVHD in HLA-haploidentical cohort was significantly higher than in HLA-matched cohort (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in incidence of cGVHD, incidence of relapse and LFS between HLA-haploidentical and HLA-matched cohorts (P>0.05). Conclusion Haploidentical PBSCT is feasible and safe for malignant hematological diseases to use myeloablative conditioning regimen in combination with intensive immunosuppressants without in vitro T cell depletion.

Objective To observe the relationship between CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms and major adverse cardiovascular events in the patients of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who accepted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Han population from Dalian. Methods A total 809 cases with ACS who had undergone PCI in the cardiology department of Dalian Municipal Central Hospital from Janurary 2012 to Janurary 2014 were selected,Among 809 cases of ACS,there were 178 cases of acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI),105 cases of acute non ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and 526 cases of unstable angina. The patients were divided into three groups according to their CYP2C19 genotype.CYP2C19 genotype (*1/*1) were classified as extensive metabolizers (EM group), CYP2C19 genotype (*1/*2、*1/*3) were classified as intermediate metabolizers (IM group) and CYP2C19 genotype (*2/*2、*3/*3、*2/*3) were classified as poor metabolizers (PM group). The occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events at least 24 months was observed. Results Seven hundred and ninety patients finished the follow-up at least 24 months, 19 patients lost in follow-up, 350 cases (43.2%) were CYP2C19 (*1/*1),318 cases (39.3%) were CYP2C19(*1/*2), 42 cases(5.2%) were CYP2C19 (*1/*3),77 cases (9.5%) were CYP2C19 (*2/*2), 21 case(2.2%)were CYP2C19 (*2/*3), and 1 case (0.1%) was CYP2C19(*3/*3), 350 cases (43.2%) were classified as EM group, 360 cases (44.5%) were classified as IM group, and 99 cases(12.2%)were classified as PM group. No significant difference in age, gender, hypertention, diabetes mellitus, smoking was shown among three groups (P > 0.05). The rate of MACE were 3.3% , 8 cases had target lesion revascularization(EM group 3 cases, IM group 3 cases, PM group 2 cases), 2 cases had non-fatal myocardial infarction (IM group 1 case, PM group 1 case), 15 cases were died(EM group 6 cases, IM group 7 cases, PM group 2 cases), 1 case had subacute stent thrombosis in IM group. The rates of MACE were higher in PM group (5.1%) than those in EM group(2.65%) and IM group (3.41%) , but there was no significant difference in three groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the rate of target lesion revascularization , thrombus in stent, non- fatal myocardial infarction and death among three groups(P > 0.05). Conclusions There is no significant correlation between CYP2C19 gene polymorphism and long-term prognosis in patients with ACS who accepte PCI treatment in Han population from Dalian.
