Objective To investigate the abnormal expressions of light chain immunoglobulins kappa (Ig?) and lambda ( Ig?) in multiple primary malignant tumors (MPMT) in elderly patients. Methods The expressions of Ig? and Ig? in specimens obtained from multiple malignant tumors in 21 elderly patients were investigated. Immunohistochemical staining was performed with mouse antihuman Ig? and Ig? monoclonal antibodies. Among 21 patients with multiple primary malignant tumors, the first tumor which occurred in the digestive tract was detected in 20 patients. In 17 patients first and second tumors were found to occur in the digestive tract. In 21 patients with MPMT the relationship between the expressions of light chain immunogloblin and survival time was analyzed. Results Positive staining of Ig? and/or Ig? in specimens from the first and/or second tumor tissues was found in 16 patients(76 2%). Statistic analysis showed that there was close relationship between the expression of Ig? and that of Ig? in the tissues from double tumors ( P

The acupoint selection was retrieved from the ancient and modern literature on the treatment of sub-healthy condition with acupuncture. The law of acupoint application was analyzed so as to provide a certain reference to the determination of acupoint prescription in clinical acupuncture. The ancient literature was retrieved from Chinese basic ancient literature database. The modern literature was retrieved from Cochrane Library, Medline, PubMed, Ovid evidence-based medicine database, Chinese biomedical literature database, China journal full-text database, VIP journal full-text database and Wanfang database. The database mining software was adopted to explore the law of acupoint application in treatment of sub-healthy conditions with ancient and modern acupuncture. The acupoint use frequency, compatibility association rule, law for meridian use and the use regularity of specific points were analyzed. In the ancient treatment for sub-healthy condition, the top five commonly used acupoints are Shenmen (HT 7), Zhaohai (KI 6), Taibai (SP 3), Daling (PC 7) and Taixi (KI 3). The most commonly combined points are Zhangmen (LR 13), Taibai (SP 3) and Zhaohai (KI 6). The most commonly used meridians are the bladder meridian of foot-taiyang, kidney meridian of foot-shaoyin and liver meridian of foot-jueyin. The most commonly used specific points are the five-shu points. The most commonly used acupoints are located in the lower limbs. In the modern treatment, the top five commonly used acupoints are Zusanli (ST 36), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Baihui (GV 20), Shenshu (BL 23) and Guanyuan (CV 4). The most commonly supplemented points are Hegu (LI 4) and Taichong (LR 3). The most commonly used meridians are the bladder meridian of foot-taiyang, the conception vessel and the governor vessel. The most commonly used specific points are the back-shu points. The most commonly used acupoints are located in the lower limbs. After the systematic comprehension of the relevant ancient and modern literature, the most commonly used acupoints are selected along the bladder meridian of foot-taiyang, and the most commonly used specific points are the back-shu points, the five-shu points and the front-mu-points. the acupoints are mostly located in the lower limbs.

Objective To discuss the clinical features of primary epididymal rhabdomyosarcoma and review the diagnostic and therapeutic advances. Methods One 16-yesr-old male presented with right scro-turn swelling mass for 4 months. Physical examination revealed an ovoid and solid mass of 4.5×3.5×3.0 cn in right scrotum. The mass was hard and its surface was smooth without tenderness. Transillumination test was negative. There was no palpable inguinal lymph node. Pre-operative diagnosis was inflammatory nodule of right epididymis. Results Right epididymectomy was performed under caudal anesthesia une-ventfully. The pathological study showed that the neoplasm was composed of small round shape ceils with small and anachromasis nucleus. The immunohistochemical study showed that these cells were positive for myoglobin, aetin and desmin, but negative for smooth muscle actin. Electron microscopy showed that paral-leling thin filaments were found with no asrcomere-like structure in the intracytoplasm. The pathologic diag-nosis was right epydidymal rhabdomyosarcoma. The patient refused further therapy. A mass was found with rapid growth accompanied with pain in the right scrotum 2 months after the first operation and was clinically diagnosed as tumor recurrence. This patient had then undergone right radical orchiectomy. Frozen section analysis revealed negative surgical margin. The pathologic diagnosis was embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma re-currence. Patient underwent subsequent chemotherapy with ifosfamide, etoposide and vincristine. After one year follow-up, he was generally well without evidence of recurrence. Conculsions Primary embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare tumor with aggressive growth patterns. The diagnosis depends on the pathologi-cal examination because the clinical presentation is not specific. Combination therapy with radical orchiecto-my, chemotherapy and radiotherapy provides patients an excellent long-term prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of alemtuzumab in renal transplant recipients treated with induction therapy. Methods Eighty-nine cadaveric renal transplant recipients in our department were randomly divided into experimental group (n = 43) treated with alemtuzumab induction, 15 mg i. v. and control group (n = 46). Main immunosuppressive therapy regimen consisted of steroids, tacrolimus or cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil in all recipients. Post-transplant kidney function, acute rejection,infection, DGF, graft survival, lymphocyte counts were recorded within 1 year. ATP values in CD4+ T cells after transplantation was determined by using Cylex ImmuKnow assay. Results There was significant difference in the incidence of biopsy-proven acute rejection, but no significant difference was found in ImmuKnow ATP values during 6 months after transplantation and lymphocyte counts during 3 months, graft survival and the incidence of infections between the two groups. Conclusion Induction therapy with alemtuzumab appeared to be effective in the prevention of acute rejection.
