Objective To study the clinical and pathological characteristics, treatment results and prognosis of primary parotid non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Methods All of our 21 patients received operative resection first and were histologically comfirmed as having T-cell (intermediate grade) and 20 B-cell lineage (2 high grade, 6 intermediate grade ,12 low grade) including 7 mucosa-associatied lymphoid tissue (MALT) phenotype. Ann Anbor stages were 16 stage Ⅰ E and 5 stage Ⅱ E lesions. All patients were treated by radiotherapy,of them 11 were also given 2～6 cycle chemotherapy. Results The overall 5-year survival rate was 77.0%. All 5 patients who died did so of distant involvement. Conclusions Our data show that MALT lymphoma can be present as a primary paroid NHL,although it is not included in the Working Formulation. Low-dose radiotherapy is of choice in the treatment. Patients with intermediate or high grade NHL should be given multi-modality therapy.

BackgroundThe favorable effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on the reconstruction of injured corneas have been reported,but the mechanism remains unclear.ObjectiveThis study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and antiangiogenic effect after transplantation of BMSCs in chemically burned corneas.Methods BMSCs were isolated and extracted from the bone marrow.The cells were cultured and passaged and then were seeded on the amniotic membrane.Corneal alkali injury models were created in 18 clean SD rats by sticking the filter paper containing 1 mol/L NaOH at the central cornea for 40 seconds.The rats were then randomized into 3 groups.Amniotic membrane with BMSCs or amniotic membrane without BMSCs were transplanted in 1 week after the establishment of models,and the rats without transplantation were used as the control group.The severity of corneal lesion was graded,and angiogenesis area was measured 2 weeks after the transplantation.The expression of interleukin-2 ( IL-2 ),interferon-γ(IFN-γ),IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β ( TGF-β ) were examined by ELISA,and the mRNA of the matrix metalloproteinase-2 ( MMP-2 ),vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),epidermal growth factor(EGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) were analyzed by real-time PCR.ResultsThe positive rates of the cells were 99.78％ and 99.79％ for CD90 and CD29,7.90％,1.16％ and 1.28％ for CD34,CD45 and CDllba.The cells grew well on the amniotic membrane.The corneal inflammatory score and neovascularization area were similar among the three groups ( F =0.021,P-- 0.979 ; F =0.076,P =0.927 ).However,the corneal inflammatory score was significantly reduced and neovascularization area was significantly less in the amniotic membrane group compared with the BMSCs group and control group(P=0.011,0.001 ;P=0.005,0.000).The levels of IL-2 and IFN-γ secreted by Th1 cells were decreased (P =0.000,0.002;P =0.003,0.045 ) and the levels of IL-10 and TGF-β secreted by Th2 cells were increased in the BMSCs group compared with the amniotic membrane and control group ( P =0.000,0.000 ; P =0.000,0.021 ).No significant difference was found in VEGF expression among three groups( F=4.880,P =0.056).But the mRNA of the MMP-2 and bFGF were lower in the BMSCs group than the amniotic membrane group(P=0.009,0.003 ) and control group(P＜0.01 ).Conclusions BMSCs modulate the expression of inflammatory-related and angiogenic-related cytokines and therefore play the antiinflammatory and anti-angiogenic effects in the chemically burned cornea.

Objective To explore the early diagnosis of Alport′s syndrome(AS).Methods Renal and skin biopsy was carried out in 5 patients who manifested with isolated hematuria and nephritic syndrome(NS).By using indirect immunofluorescence method,the expression of type Ⅳ collagen ? chains was detected on epidermal basement membrane(EBM) and glomerular basement membrane(GBM).Results ?_1 chains on EBM and GBM were expression in all patients,but ?_5 chains on EBM and ?_3,?_5 chains on GBM form 2 female patients were segmental expression.Thus the goal for early diagnosis was achieved.Conclusions ? chains for EBM type Ⅳ collagen and GBM type Ⅳ collegan should be investigated if condition permits for those patients with isolated hematuria,NS(steroid-resistant) and thinned GBM in electron microscopy.It can be useful for diagnosis and differenial diagnosis of AS.

Objective To study the effect and methods of orbital septum fat redistribution or autogenous orbital septum granular fat transplantation methods on upper eyelid depression.Methods Blepharoplasty incision was used to cut open musculus orbicularis oculi and septum orbitale horizontally,exposuring orbital fat,the conjunction was relieved between orbit fat envelope and septum orbitale,displaced orbital fat was extended and replaced to the depression region of upper eyelid,and the wound was routinely sutured.For orbital septum fat volume depletion,appropriate amount of granular fat was injected into depression region and put fat backward upto supraorbital margin.Then,resetting orbital septum and closing incision were conducted with suture technique of blepharoplasty.Results Of 48 cases (96 eyes),32 cases was followed-up for 6 to 42 months with mean of 11 months.All cases got ideal outcomes,with smooth and symmetry lid folds,depression of upper eyelid were fixed and no complication occurred.Conclusions Orbital septum fat redistribution or autogenous orbital septum granular fat transplantation can anatomically reduce the fat distribution of upper eyelid.This method is easy and effective to improve the appearance of eyelid.

AIM: To evaluate the protective effect of rapid phase of ischemic preconditioning against spinal cord ischemic injury in rabbits. METHODS: Thirty six male New Zealands white rabbits were randomly assigned to 3 groups (12 in each group): ischemia and reperfusion injury group (IR group), ischemic preconditioning + IR group (IPC+IR group) and sham operation group (sham). In IR group, spinal cord ischemia was induced by an infrarenal aorta clamping for 20 min; The rabbits in IPC+IR group underwent a 6 min ischemic preconditioning followed by 30 min of reperfusion before the 20 min clamping; The rabbits in sham group underwent the same procedures as the IR group except for infrarental aortic unclamping. Neurologic status was scored at 8, 12, 24 and 48 h after reperfusion. All animals were sacrificed at 48 h after reperfusion and the spinal cords (L_(5-7)) were removed for histopathologic study and determination of the activity of Na~+, K~+-ATPase. RESULTS: The neurologic function scores in sham group and IPC+IR group at each observation interval were higher than those in IR group (P
