Objective To investigate the clinical features, BCL-2,CMYC protein expression and prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus-associated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods A retrospective study was used to analyse 94 diagnosed DLBCL patients clinical data.Immunohistochemistry method was used to detect the expression of BCL-2 and CMYC protein in paraffin sections of tumor tissues, and to analyze the clinical features, protein expression and prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus-associated DLBCL.Results ① The rate of HBV infection in the 94 DLBCL patients was 27.66%, significantly higher than the general population(7.18%).Compared with HbsAg-negative DLBCL, HbsAg-positive DLBCL displayed more advanced disease(P=0.032), higher international prognostic index (IPI)(P=0.047) and more frequent involvement of spleen(P=0.02).There were no significant differences in gender distribution, age, immunological subtype and treatment between the two groups.② The aspect of BCL-2 and CMYC protein expression between the two groups: HbsAg-positive group BCL-2 protein expression was significantly higher than HbsAg-negative group (84.6% vs 58.8%, P=0.018).There were no significant differences on the CMYC protein expression and CMYC/ BCL-2 double expression.③ Univariate survival analysis showed that hepatitis B virus infection, BCL-2 positive, CMYC positive, CMYC/ BCL-2 double expression, IPI high-risk group were associated with unfavorable prognostic of overall survival time (OS) and progression free survival (PFS).Cox multivariate analysis showed that CMYC/BCL-2 double expression, IPI high-risk group were independent adverse prognostic factors for OS and PFS.Conclusion HBV infection, BCL-2, CMYC, BCL-2/CMYC double expression, IPI are related to the prognosis of DLBCL.HBV infection may affect the development and prognosis of DLBCL by regulating the expression of BCL-2.

Objective To investigate the changes of dendritic cell subsets and CD 80,CD86 expression in peripher-al blood in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), and to evaluate the changes of serum interleukin -2(IL-2), serum interleukin-4(IL-4), serum interleukin-10(IL-10) and interferon-γ(IFN-γ) before and after dexam-ethasone treatment, overall, further analyzing the relationship between them and dexamethasone .Methods Collec-ting blood samples of 60 ITP patients and 10 normal controls with heparin anticoagulation , and distribution of den-dritic cell subsets of ITP and normal controls was detected by flow cytometry , and the changes of serum IL-2, IL-4, IL-10 and IFN-γwere detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The percentage of DC2 was increased in ITP patients compared with the control group (P <0.05) and there was no statistically significont difference after dexamethasone treatment ; the expressions of CD80 on DC1 and DC2 were increased compared with the control group(P <0.05), as well as the expression of CD86 on DC2 and the percentage of them decreased after treatment.The serum IL-2, IFN-γlevels before the dexamethasone treatment were higher than the normal control group(P <0.05),then decreased after treatment.However, the serum IL-4, IL-10 levels were lower than the nor-mal control group before the treatment (P <0.05), increased after treatment.Conclusion The disorder of the number and function of DCs and the changes of the serum IL -2, IL-4, IL-10 and IFN-γlevels may play important roles in the pathogenesis of ITP.Moreover, there is a probable key relationship between them and the effects of dexamethasone treatment.

Objective To investigate the changes in the proportion of regulatory T (Treg) cells and in the levels of cytokines secreted by these cells in the peripheral blood in the patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Methods The enrolled subjects consisted of 30 CML patients who were newly diagnosed , 20 CML patients who were under the effective treatment of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BCR-ABL 210 transcript ratio is below 10%) and 20 healthy donors whose age and sex were matched .Flow cytometry was used to detect CD4+CD25 high CD127 low /-Treg cells and CD4+ T cells.The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the plasma concentra -tions of interleukin-10(IL-10), transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) and IL-35.Results The proportions of Treg cells in CD4+ T cells were similar among the three groups .As concerns the three kinds of Treg-associated cy-tokines, there were no significant differences in the plasma concentrations of IL -10 among the three groups.Howev-er, compared with the treatment group and the control group , the plasma concentrations of TGF -β1 and IL-35 in the newly diagnosed patients significantly increased (P <0.001), with no significant difference between the treat -ment group and the control group.Conclusion Though the proportion of Treg cells did not significantly change in the newly diagnosed patients, the plasma concentrations of TGF-β1 and IL-35 indeed significantly enhanced , sug-gesting the dysfunction of Treg cells in the newly diagnosed patients might be associated with the progression of dis -ease.Effective treatment of tyrosine kinase inhibitors could down -regulate the plasma levels of these cytokines to baseline, suggesting that monitoring these cytokines might evaluate the efficacy of therapy .

Objective To investigate the relationship between K+ concentration in rabbit vitreous humor and postmortem interval (PMI) under different ambient temperature. Methods Rabbit corpses were stored at 5℃ , 15℃ , 25℃ , and 35℃ after execution, and 80~100μL vitreous humor was extracted from each eye of the rabbit in turn every 12 hours. The concentrations of K+ were examined by Modular DPPI automatic biochemistry analyzer. The Interpolation Functions were used to analyze the statistical relationship between PMI and K+ concentration under different temperature. Results In each animal group, K+ concentration increased with PMI. Equation was obtained after interpolation analysis on range of temperature 5℃ ~30℃ . The three-variable quintic surface equation was f(x,y)=-1.998e14+1.345e12x+5.902e13y+0.005585x2-4.509e11xy-3.876e12y2-0.0002868x3+0.003545x2y+4.406e10xy2-1.746e10y3+2.669e-6x4-1.568e-5x3y-0.0001771x2y2-1.64e9xy3+6.669e9y4-8.672e-9x5+4.467e-8x4y+2.354e-7x3y2+2.459e-6x2y3+2.05e7xy4-1.214e8y5(R2=0.9956), x stands for temperature, y stands for K+ concentration, f(x,y) stands for PMI. Conclusion The rule of K+ concentration changes at ambient temperature complied with three-variable quintic surface equation distribution. Measurement of interpolation function may be used for PMI estimation at different ambient temperature.

AIM: To explore the therapeutic strategies of heat-clearing and detoxifying (HCDT) and Yin-invigorating and fluid-supplementing (YIFS), the method of Chinese medicine, on the high density lipoprotein (HDL) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) molecules, which are associated with endotoxin-degradation. METHODS: The animal model of endotoxemia was established by the injection of E. Coli lipopolysaccharides through rabbits ear vein. The endotoxemic rabbits were treated respectively with two representative herbal preparations of therapeutic principles against febrile diseases: HCDT or YIFS preparations. The serum levels of interleukin-1 (IL-1), tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF-?) and HDL, the ALP activity, the expression of ALP mRNA in liver and kidney tissues were observed. RESULTS: The serum levels of IL-1 and TNF-? in HCDT group were significantly decreased, while the serum ALP activity and the expression of ALP mRNA in liver and kidney tissues were obviously increased, as compared with those in model group. Meanwhile, the serum levels of IL-1 and TNF-? in YIFS group were significantly reduced, and its plasma HDL level was elevated. CONCLUSIONS: Both the herbal preparations, HCDT and YIFS, have the scavenging effects on the overproduction of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 and TNF-? induced by endotoxin, but their effects on the endotoxin-degrading molecules might be different. HCDT principally increases ALP activity and enhances ALP expression in liver and kidney tissues, while YIFS might preferably facilitate the elevation of plasma HDL level.
