In this paper,we analyzed one case of primary multifocal extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and reviewed the related literatures.We investigated the clinical data of this case with primary multifocal extranodal lymphoma and retrospected the related references.The key words,primary extranodal lymphoma and multifocal,were used to search Pubmed and Wanfang Database,and finally only three cases were found.The 68-yea-old woman was confirmatively diagnosed as primary multifocal extranodal B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.The positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan showed multiple hypermetabolic lesions in the left humerus,both kidneys and ileum.The confirmative diagnosis was based on clinical manifestations and serological tests,imaging features of CT and PET/CT,and especially on the histopathological and immunohistochemical studies.After one cycle chemotherapy (rituximab,Vincristine and prednisone) and another cycle (rituximab,Vincristine,cyclophosphamide and prednisone),a repeat PET/CT scan showed a complete metabolic resolution of the lesions in the kidneys and ileum,and a partial metabolic resolution of the left humerus.After four cycles of chemotherapy,there were new extensive involvements of the right supraclavicular and intrapulmonary lymph nodes,bilateral pleural and pericardium,and the patient gave up chemotherapy.This case demonstrated the imaging findings of an uncommon primary multifocal extranodal lymphoma in left humerus,both kidneys and ileum,and highlighted the usefulness of CT and PET/CT scan in identifying the extent of disease involvement,in guiding a biopsy,and in assessing the treatment response of lymphoma.It is essential to differentiate between primary multifocal extranodal lymphoma and lymphoma extensive metastases.

BACKGROUND: Injury of axillary nerve leads to the inability of abduction in the upper limb which needs surgery treatment. However, which way of operative approach is more preferable is still uncertain. Whether one-stage posterior operation of nerve transfer can achieve better effects remains unclear, the choice of approach method is an argument.OBJECTIVE: To explore the therapeutic effect of the transposition operation of the branch to long head of triceps branchii to recover the anterior branch of axillary nerve that can restore the function of deltoid muscle and refrain from the deprivation of function to extend elbow.METHODS: A total of 13 cases with axillary nerve injury without any recovery sign admitted at the Department of Hand Surgery, China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University were selected, including 11 males and 2 females, aged 18-55 years, mean aged 28.4 years; Under 10-times operating microscope, the anterior branch of axillary nerve was chosen to coincide the branch to long head of triceps branchii in use of 11 -0 atraumatic nylon in posterior approach. The standard issued by the Hand Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association was adopted to assess the upper limb function postoperatively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All patients were followed-up for 6-53 months with an average of 21 months. All incisions after surgery gain primary healing. The function of shoulder abduction had recovered in some degree. Among of total, 7 cases had deltoid strength of M4 or even more; 4 cases had deltoid strength of M3; one had M2 and one had M1. The effective rate was 92%, and excellent rate was 85%. There was no impact on the extension of elbow in all cases. It was a reliable and convenient technique to recover shoulder abduction with the branch to long head of triceps brachii from radial nerve in restoration of the function of deltoid muscle. It was beneficial to the restoration of axillary nerve with partially injured brachial plexus, and severe quadril.

AIM: To investigate killing effect of herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase/ganciclovior system(HSV-TK/GCV) on osteosarcoma cell and its mechanisms.METHODS: Recombinant retroviral vector (DORHyTK) containing hygromycin phosphotransferase-thymidine kinase fusion gene(HyTK) was constructed and introduced into human osteosarcoma cell line OS732 with DOTAP. DNA and total RNA extracted from HyTK expressing cells (OS732TK) were tested by PCR and RNA dot blot analysis. A chemosensitivity of OS732TK cells to GCV and “bystander effect” were measured by means of MTT colorimetric assay. Hoeschst 332258 staining and flow cytometric analysis were performed for mechanism of HSV-TK/GCV system gene therapy. RESULTS: DORHyTK was constructed successfully; the HyTK gene existed and expressed in OS732TK cells; All OS732TK cells were killed after 5 days of exposure to 5 mg/L GCV. The “bystander effect” was observed in both a high population and a low population, but the former was stronger than the latter. Hoeschst 332258 staining revealed the characteristic hallmarks of apoptosis, however necrosis also existed. Flow cytometric analysis of DNA content showed a G0-G1 phase blockade. CONCLUSION: HSV-TK/GCV gene therapy system showed its strong killing effects on osteosarcoma cells OS732; The phenomenon of “bystander effect” was also very apparent. GCV exposure induced both necrotic and apoptotic death in HSV-TK expressing cells, and perturbed the cell cycle. HSV-TK/GCV gene therapy system may provide a new therapeutic approach for treatment of osteosarcoma.

AIM: To investigate the role of NFAT in cyclosporine A downregulating IFN-? gene transcription after liver transplantation. METHODS: Rat orthotopic liver transplantation model was employed and 3 groups of experiments were performed in this study. GroupⅠ: syngeneic control (Wistar-to-Wistar); GroupⅡ: acute rejection (SD-to-Wistar). GroupⅢ: acute rejection treated with cyclosporine A intramuscularly (SD-to-Wistar+CsA). EMSA and RT-PCR were used to analyze NFAT activity of splenocytes and IFN-? gene transcription intragraft of recipients with or without CsA treatment after liver transplantation. Histopathological assessment was also performed for reference. RESULTS: No noticeable rejection was detected in GroupⅠ while only low level of IFN-? mRNA transcription and faint NFAT activity were measured. In contrast, a marked rejection reaction was demonstrated from day3 postoperation in GroupⅡ. IFN-? mRNA transcription was significant and NFAT activity was intensive. In comparison to GroupⅡ, rejection grade in Group Ⅲ significantly decreased (P
