Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features of gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic gland type (GA-FG).Methods:A total of 12 patients, including 7 cases treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), were diagnosed as having GA-FG in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2018 to August 2019. Morphological changes were analyzed by reviewing endoscopic and pathological results. Patients were followed up after definitive diagnosis.Results:The clinical symptoms of patients with GA-FG were nonspecific. No Helicobacter pylori infection was identified. The lesions were found in the non-atrophic gastric mucosa of the upper 1/3 portion in 10 cases and middle 1/3 portion in 2 cases. Endoscopically, the most common features were whitish color (9 cases), and all lesions diameter≤1 cm. Their macroscopic types were classified as 0-Ⅰ (2 cases), 0-Ⅱa (9 cases) and 0-Ⅱc (1 case) respectively. All lesions had sharp boundary, with branching dilated blood vessels on the surface. Five in 7 cases who were treated with ESD showed submucosal invasion. Immunohistochemically, 9 cases were classified as the chief cell type , 3 as the mixed type, 11 MUC6 positive, 4 MUC5AC positive, 2 MUC2 positive, and 3 CD10 positive. P53 was detected in all 12 cases, and 9 cases had low Ki-67 staining index (<10%). The mean time of follow-up was 11 months, and 11 patients survived. Conclusion:GA-FG should be taken into consideration when the polyps are found in the upper part of the stomach, with whitish color, and branch dilated blood vessels on the surface. Excellent clinical outcomes can be achieved for GA-FG patients with ESD.

Purpose To investigate the expression and the clinical significances of SEL1L and BCL-2 in 123 cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and cell line SUDHL-4, LY-10. Methods Immunohistochemistry staining for SEL1L was performed in 123 DLBCL and 60 reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH), and also BCL-2 protein in 123 DLBCL. Immunocytochemistry staining and Western blot analysis for SEL1L protein were used in SUDHL-4 and LY-10. Results The high expression rate of SEL1L was 69.9% in 123 DLBCL, which was significantly higher than that in 60 RLH (25.0% ). The expression of SEL1L protein in DLBCL was not related to clinic pathological parameters. The positive rate of BCL-2 was 83.7% in123 DLBCL. The expression of BCL-2 protein was correlated with immunophenotyping, primary location, and Ann Arbor stage. The expression of SEL1L protein was positively correlated with that of BCL-2 protein in DLBCL (r=0.227, P<0.05). SEL1L protein was also detected in SUDHL-4 and LY-10 cell lines. Conclusion The SEL1L protein may play an important role in the carcinogenesis of DLBCL, and may be associated with BCL-2.
