MicroRNA (miRNA) is a class of naturally occurring short non-coding small molecular RNA with 19-25 nucleotide. MiRNA can regulate gene expression through incompletely binding to complementary sequences in the 3'UTR of target mRNA. MiRNA plays key regulatory role in a diverse rang of pathways, including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, stem cell development. Many studies have shown that many miRNA have a special role of gene regulation in cancer development and have been used as therapeutic targets and diagnostic markers of cancer. This review focuses on recent advances of studies on miRNA involved in tumorigenesis, and in classification, diagnosis, therapy and prognosis of DLBCL.

<b>OBJECTIVEb>To explore the value of multiparameter flow cytometry in diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).

<b>METHODSb>Twenty patients with NHL admitted in Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Zhengzhou from January 2009 to August 2014 years were enrolled into this study, among them 13 cases received lymnode puncture, 2 cases were given bone marrow aspiration, 2 cases received peripheral blood examination, 3 cases suffered lymphnode biopsy.

<b>RESULTSb>After FCM immune typing and cytological smear, 6 cases was confirmed to be B-SLL, 1 case was B-NHL, 1 case was FL, 5 cases was DLBCL, 2 cases was T-NHL, 3 cases was T-LBL, 1 case was NK/T-NHL, 1 case was PTun.

<b>CONCLUSIONb>Multiparameter flow cytometry is valuable for diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's of lymphoma.

<b>OBJECTIVEb>To explore the prognostic value of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and M2 macrophages in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) tissues.

<b>METHODSb>The expression of CD163 and Foxp3 was detected by immunohistochemistry in 92 cases of DLBCL, and it was statistically analyzed whether their expressions correlate with clinical data and prognosis in patients with DLBCL.

<b>RESULTSb>The density of M2 macrophage and regulatory T cells in DLBCL tumor tissues was significantly higher than that in the adjacent tissues (P = 0.02, P = 0.04). The expression of M2 macrophages was significantly positively correlated with regulatory T cells expression (r = 2.012, P < 0.05). High density of M2 or Tregs had a relationship with extranodal involvement (P < 0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that the expressions of CD163 and Foxp3 were independent prognostic factors of DLBCL (P < 0.05).

<b>CONCLUSIONSb>Combined detection of the expression of CD163 and Foxp3 proteins and then evaluation of the amount of M2 macrophages and Tregs can be used to more closely predict the prognosis for DLBCL patients.

<b>OBJECTIVEb>To analyze the clinical course of a very elderly patient with advanced diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), so as to explore the incidence, prognosis and treatment of DLBCL and to analyse the prognostic and therapeutic significance of molecular subtype.

<b>METHODSb>The clinical history, auxiliary examinations, clinical diagnostic standards, therapeutic methods, biopsy and autopsy of this patient were retrospectively analyzed; the incidence, current treatment status, molecular biological features, and prognostic and therapeutic significance of molecular subtype were studied.

<b>RESULTSb>After admission, this patient was diagnosed as non-GCB DLBCL, NOS, stage IV B and in the high risk group (IPI = 5, ECOG = 2). She achieved a decent partial response after many times of imunochemotherapy, but his disease status soon progressed. The liver occupying biopsy revealed non-GCB, while the spleen tumor pathology revealed GCB; pathological typing of these two methods was completely opposite. Autopsy pathological diagnosis showed that the death causes included extensive tumor metastasis, dyscrasia and respiratory circle failure.

<b>CONCLUSIONb>Incidence of aged patients with DLBCL is high, and the disease is aggressive; the treatment is low responsive and difficult, and new therapeutic methods are needed. Gene expression profile (GEP) can provide molecular subtype and potential pathogenic mechanism, which can promote the development of new targeted therapy and individualized treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the diagnostic value of bone marrow cell morphology combined with immunohistochemistry in patients with primary bone marrow lymphoma. METHODS: The clinical data of 23 patients with primary bone marrow lymphoma diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2010 to December 2019 were collected. The characteristics of bone marrow aspiration, bone marrow biopsy and immunohistochemistry results were analyzed retrospectively, and the diagnostic value of bone marrow cell morphology combined with immunohistochemistry in primary bone marrow lymphoma were clarified. RESULTS: Most of primary bone marrow lymphoma was B-cell lymphoma, among which diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was the most common pathological type. Typical lymphoma cells could be found in all the patients. 78.26% of the patients could be diagnosed as lymphoma with pathological type, while 91.30% were diagnosed as lymphoma through combined with the bone marrow immunohistochemistry. CONCLUSION Bone marrow cell morphology combined with immunohistochemistry shows very important diagnostic value in patients with primary bone marrow lymphoma.
