Objective To summarize the experience in diagnosis and treatment of primary splenic neoplasm (PSN) to promote understanding of the disease. Methods The clinical data of all admitted patients with PSN treated in this hospital from February 1989 to February 2004 were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 63 patients were treated by surgery and pathologically confirmed as PSN. Twenty-one patients were treated by splenectomy alone. Twenty-seven patients underwent distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy. Fifteen patients received splenectomy combined with excision of tumor, the 5-year survival rate was 35.9%(15/42). Conclusion PSN should be diagnosed mainly according to clinical manifestations, image examination, and fine needle aspiration biopsy. CT and angiography play an important role in the identification of benign and malignant splenic mass. Early diagnosis, radical resection and comprehensive treatment are important for improving the prognosis of PSN.

Objective To study the effect of teaching methods of question type and discussion type that are adopted during the clinical probation of hematology. Methods 200 students of 5-year system of clinical medical of zhongshan medical college of Sun Yat-sen University were sclected to use the teaching methods of question type and discussion type during the clinical probation of hematology. Results It displayed that the probation teaching methods of question type and discussion type received good evaluation from the students, and obtained good probation effect. Conclusions The problem-based teaching methods evoked and guided the students proceeding transversal and lenth clinical wise; The case discussion elevatered the students’ ability to resovle practical problems with theoretical knowledge.

The clinical data of patients with hypoparathyroidism accompanied by elevated and normal muscle enzymes were analyzed retrospectively.The results showed that there were no differences in age,gender,pathogenesis,etiology,and parathormone level between groups with elevated muscle enzyme and normal muscle enzyme.Serum calcium concentration in the group with normal muscle enzyme was within normal range.Serum calcium concentration in the group with elevated muscle enzyme was significantly lower than that in the group with normal muscle enzyme (P＜0.01).As the serum calcium concentration rose,the elevated enzyme level gradually returned to normal range,suggesting that the decrease of serum calcium concentration resulted in the elevated muscle enzyme levels in patients with hypoparathyroidism.

Objective To explore the mechanism of hematolo gic abnormality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).Methods Suppression of granulocytic and ery throid colony formation of bone marrow cells fromhealthy individuals was examined in vitro by using methylcell ulose culture with sera or IgGdelete d sera from patients with SLE.Results①Both colony-forming units of erythr ocytes(CFU-E)(in 66.7%of samples tested)and granulocytes(CFU-GM)(in 70%of samples tested)of normal bone marrowcells were sign ificantly inhibited by sera frompatients with SLE(P

Objective Monkey B virus(BV), also known as Cercopithecine herpesvirus 1,is an important zoonotic pathogen.According to the national standard, antibodies are detected using BV as an antigen.However, the preparation of BV antigen is very stricted due to biosafety issues.Therefore, in this study, we used alternative antigens to detect the BV antibody by serological assay and verified their specifity and sensitivity.Methods A total of 135 blood samples from rhesus monkeys were tested by two ELISA method (BV and HVP2) and enzyme immunosorbent assay (EIA)method.The positive and suspicious samples were verified by immuno-fluorescence assay (IFA), Western blot and immunoblotting technique using HSV-1 gC1 purified glycoprotein as an antigen.Results The positive rates of HVP2-ELISA, BV-ELISA and HSV-1-EIA were 32.6%, 37.8% and 34.8%, respectively.Consistant result of the three detection method accounted for 91.1% (123/135), and the positive result were confirmed by IFA And WB.There were 12 suspicious samples,in which 33.3% (4/12) were verified to be positive.Conclusions Compared with BV antigen, the sensitivity and specificity of the alternative antigen HSV-1 are moe close than HVP2.Positive and suspicious samples should be verified by several method to avoid missed detection.

A 53-year-old man presented with prunosus nodules and plaques on the trunk and extremities for half a month and with periorbital swelling for 4 days.Hematological examination in a local hospital showed thrombocytopenia,and pulsed corticosteroid therapy did not work.On physical examination,there were splenomegaly and multiple enlarged superficial lymphnodes.Serum calcium and 1-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)were increased to 3.12 mmol/L and 853 U/L,respectively.Serum immunofixation electrophoresis evidenced the presence of a monoclonal immunoglobulin IgM (κ chain).Positron emission tomography (PET-CT) showed abnormal uptake in multiple lymph nodes,back wall of the pharynx,and spleen.The biopsy of a nodule in the neck revealed a diffuse infiltration of numerous atypical lymphoid cells in the subcutaneous fat tissue,which were medium-sized with round nuclei,obvious nucleoli and karyokinesis, Immunophenotyping of the abnormal lymphocytes indicated positive reactions for L26,CD79a,Bcl-2,cyclin D1,multiple myeloma oncogene 1 (partly),Ki-67 (＞80％),but negative for CD5,CD21,CD23,CD38,CD3,CD10,Bcl-6,CD45RO,terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT),myeloperoxidase (MPO),CD30,anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK),CD117,or CD34.Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) revealed the presence of a fusion gene (t(11:14) CCND1/IGH) in the abnormal lymphocytes.Based on the above findings,the diagnosis was made as blastoid mantle cell lymphoma with skin and periorbital involvement complicated by hypercalcemia.After treatment with rituximab injection,cyclophosphamide,vincristine,doxorubicin,dexamethasone,and intermittent treatment with intravenous high dose of methotrexate and cytarabine (R-Hyper-CVAD),serum calcium returned to a normal level three days later,and the patient made a quick and excellent recovery on the 6th day,with the regression of skin lesions and poriorbital swelling.Unfortunately,the patient eventually died of severe pulmonary infection one month later.

60 patients with pathologically diagnosed erosive lichen planus of bilateral buccal mucosa were included.The lesion on one side was treated by local application of triamcinolone acetonide dental paste(test group),the lesion on the other side without treatment was used in the control group.7,1 4,21 and 28 d after treatment the pain level and the lesion situation scores in the test group decreased significantly (P <0.001 ),and lower than those in the control group at the same time point(P <0.05).No adverse reaction was found in the 2 groups. Triamcinolone Acetonide Dental Paste is effective in the treatment of erosive oral lichen planus.
