Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological and molecular genetic characteristics and prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:The clinicopathological data of 152 DLBCL patients receiving consultation and routine physical examination in Peking University Third Hospital and Peking University School of Basic Medicine from January 2008 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of CD10, bcl-6, MUM1, GCET1, FOXP1. EB virus encoded small RNA (EBV-EBER) was detected by using in situ hybridization. The aberrations of bcl-2, bcl-6 and c-myc genes were detected by using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to screen double-hit lymphoma (DHL). Kaplan-Meier method was used to make survival analysis.Results:Among 152 cases of DLBCL, the ratio of male to female was 1.49:1, the median age of onset was 59 years (7-90 years), and 79 cases (52.0%) were primary lymph nodes. The median overall survival (OS) time of all cases was 16 months (1-101 months). The 1-year, 3-year and 5-year OS rates were 70.2%, 44.7%, 30.3%, respectively. The OS of R-CHOP treatment group was better than that of CHOP treatment group and untreated group ( P = 0.001). Among all 137 patients receiving double-hit histochemistry score (DHS), there were 56 cases with 0 score, 57 cases with 1 score, 24 cases with 2 scores; and the difference in the OS of different DHS score groups ( P = 0.311). FISH detection showed that among 29 cases achieving results of c-myc gene detection, there were 2 cases of splitting gene and 3 cases of gene amplification; among 26 cases achieving results of bcl-2 gene detection, 2 cases had bcl-2 gene amplification; among 26 cases achieving results of bcl-6 gene detection, 2 cases had bcl-6 gene amplification and 3 cases had splitting gene. It was found that myc and bcl-2 genes were amplified simultaneously in 1 case, accompanied with bcl-6 gene splitting, which was called triple-hit lymphoma. In DHS 0-score group, 1 case of double gene abnormality was found, and 1 case of single gene abnormality was found in group 1-score; in group 2-score, 5 cases were single gene abnormality and 1 case was three gene abnormality, so the gene abnormality was inconsistent with the protein expression. Conclusions:The incidence of DHL in DLBCL patients in China is low. The major gene abnormalities are c-myc or bcl-2, bcl-6 single gene abnormalities.

Objective:To analyze clinical characteristics of patients of Tibetan nationality with vitiligo in the Tibet autonomous region.Methods:Clinical data were collected from 527 patients of Tibetan nationality with vitiligo, who visited Department of Dermatology, People′s Hospital of Tibet Autonomous Region from January 2018 to December 2019, including age, gender, seasons at onset, involved body sites, classification and stages of vitiligo, concomitant diseases and laboratory test results.Results:Among the 527 patients of Tibetan nationality with vitiligo, the ratio of male to female was 0.97∶1, and vitiligo usually occurred at 10 - 30 years of age. As for clinical staging, 335 (63.6%) patients were diagnosed with progressive vitiligo, and 192 (36.4%) with stable vitiligo; as for clinical classification, there were 97 (18.4%) patients with segmental vitiligo, 293 (55.6%) with vitiligo vulgaris, 79 (15%) with mixed vitiligo and 58 (11%) with unclassified vitiligo; vitiligo lesions were mainly located on the face and neck (253 cases, 48%) , followed by the trunk (148 cases, 28%) , upper limbs (64 cases, 12%) , lower limbs (46 cases, 9%) , and perineal and perianal mucosa (16 cases, 3%) ; vitiligo usually occurred in summer (198 cases, 37.6%) and spring (154 cases, 29.2%) , followed by autumn (98 cases, 18.6%) and winter (77 cases, 14.6%) ; 140 (26.6%) patients suffered from other diseases such as thyroid diseases (85 cases, 16.1%) , and 74 (14.0%) suffered from subclinical thyroid diseases; one or more serological abnormalities were observed in 22 patients, including 18 with progressive vitiligo. Compared with the patients with stable vitiligo, those with progressive vitiligo showed significantly increased thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels ( P = 0.004) . Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that altitude was weakly correlated with the stage of vitiligo ( rs = -0.18, P < 0.001) , the stage of vitiligo was weakly negatively correlated with the TSH level ( rs = -0.12, P = 0.005) and complement C3 level ( rs = -0.09, P = 0.041) , and the classification of vitiligo was weakly correlated with the TSH level ( rs = -0.11, P = 0.011) . Conclusion:In this study, the patients of Tibetan nationality with vitiligo were mostly aged at 10 - 30 years, vitiligo lesions were mainly located on the face and neck, and usually occurred in spring and summer, and the prevalence of comorbid thyroid dysfunction was relatively high.
