SUMMARY Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type (pulmonary MALT-MZL), a common kind of primary pulmonary lymphoma, is rare in pulmonary malignant tumors. One patient in our hospital was diagnosed by bronchoscope and the literatures on the subject were reviewed. The patient presented with periodical fever, cough and chest pain, and antibiotic therapy had no use. Chest CT scan showed the consolidation of right middle lobe and left lower lobe with CT angiogram signs, air bronchograms and distended bronchi. Pleural effusion in the left thorax mainly consisted of monocytes. Monoclonal protein was found in the electrophoresis of serum protein. Bronchial stenosis and swollen mucosa were seen with bronchoscope. The tissue section of transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) specimens showed diffusedly infiltrated small lymphocytes and a lymphoepithelial lesion. CD20 was positive and CD3, CD5, CD10, CD21, CD23, bcl2, bcl6 were negative in immunohistochemical stain. The clinical manifestations of pulmonary MALT-MZL are nonspecific and misdiagnosis is common, Appropriate invasive biopsy procedures are necessary for early diagnosis. Presentations such as periodical fever, distended bronchi in pulmonary consolidation, monoclonal protein might indicate diagnosis. Treatment includes surgical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Pulmonary MALT-MZL belongs to inert lymphoma and prognosis is relatively good.

This article is to analyse the development of therapeu-tic biologics from 1984 to 2014. Data were obtained from the Drugs @ FDA, PubMed, Embase. com and ClinicalTrail. Gov. Descriptive analyses were used to classify therapeutic biologics by level of innovation,therapeutic category and the chemical na-ture of the drugs. The results showed that from 1996 the thera-peutic biologics entered the fast development period, especially from 2001 to 2005. The 125 therapeutic biologics focus on the treatment of tumor, immune system disease, endocrine and met-abolic diseases, blood system diseases, skeletal muscle system diseases. Antibody has become the dominant of therapeutic bio-logics. Antibody is widely used in the treatment of cancer, di-gestive diseases, immune diseases, respiratory diseases, urinary diseases, skeletal muscle diseases, etc.

Objective:To observe the effects of All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the immune functions of AChR-specific lymphcytes via in vitro assays,and investigate the possibility of ATRA in the clinical treatment of myasthenia gravis (MG).Methods:CFA control group and EAMG experimental rats were established to obtain single lymphocytes suspension and cells were followed by AChR97-116 peptide with or without ATRA stimulation for 72 h,and then viable cell population,cell apoptosis,cell cycle and the distribution of Th cells were determined by flow cytometry.CCK-8 assay was selected to evaluate the effects of ATRA on proliferatory ability of lymphocytes.ELISA was used to detect the antibody secretion of B cells affected by ATRA.Results:Compared with CFA group,lymphocytes obtained from EAMG rats had higher ratios of living cells,and this ratio was obviously decreased after ATRA treatment,P<0.001.Different concentrations of ATRA promoted the apoptosis of AChR-specific cells (P<0.001),and the promoted effects were ATRA dose-dependent,however,cell cycles were not changed.ATRA markedly inhibited the proliferation of cells from both CFA and EAMG groups,moreover,AChR-specific cells were more sensitive to ATRA treatment (P<0.01) than that of cells from CFA rats (P<0.05).The ratio of AChR-specific CD4+T cells was reduced by ATRA (P<0.01),and ATRA incubation significantly promoted the percentages of Th2,(PCD4+-4IL-4+<0.001),Treg (PCD4+-Foxp3+<0.001) cell types,but markedly inhibited the percentages ofThl7 (PCD4+-IL-17+<0.05),Thl (PCD4+-IFN-γ+<0.001) cells.ELISA data showed us that ATRA obviously down regulated the antibody secretion of AChR-specific B cells,P<0.01.Conclusions:ATRA not only inhibited the functions of AChR-specific T cells,but also suppressed the roles of AChR-specific B cells,predicating a therapeutic effect of ATRA on myasthenia gravis therapy.

Objective To track the migration and incorporation of intravenously injected, magneti?cally labeled endothelial progenitor cells ( EPCs) from mouse bone marrow into the blood vessels in a rapid?ly growing HCC model by microMR (7.0 T). Methods This study was approved by the Institutional Com?mittee on Animal Research. H22 hepatic ascitic cancer cells was directly injected into the left liver lobe of BALB/c nude mice ( n=15) . EPCs derived from bone marrow of C57BL/6 mice were isolated and cultured. The third passage EPCs were collected and labeled with 25 μg/ml superparamagnetic iron oxide ( SPIO) and poly?l?lysine (PLL) complex (SPIO?PLL). MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to evaluate the difference of growth curve and apoptosis between labeled and unlabeled EPCs. EPCs labeled with SPIO?PLL were injected into mice via tail vein in experiment group (on the 3rd day after establishing HCC model) (n=15) and control group (n=6). The signal changes of tumor (the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after transplantation) were observed by microMR. Prussian blue staining and immunohistochemistry staining of CD31 were per?formed. MRI findings were confirmed by histomorphology. Two?sample t test was used to analyze the data. Results Single tumor was showed in the liver of all mice 3 d after establishing models. Labeling with SPIO?PLL at a concentration of 25μg/ml did not alter cell growth curve ( measured by MTT assay;t=0.281, P>0.05) and cell apoptosis (analyzed by flow cytometry). The apoptosis rates of SPIO?PLL labeled and un?labled EPCs were (12.31±1.43)% and (11.57±1.24)% in early stage, and (0.55±0.07)% and (0.49± 0?05)% in late stage. No significant differences were observed between them (t=0.967, 1.060; both P>0?05) . Migration and incorporation of transplanted and labeled cells into tumor were documented with in vivo microMR as low signal intensity at the tumor periphery as early as the 3rd day after EPCs administration in preformed tumors (4/5). Prussian blue staining showed iron?positive cells at the sites corresponding to low signal intensity on MRI. The positive cells expressing CD31 existed in intratumoral and peritumoral vessels. There was no signal change in control group at all time points. Conclusions MRI can demonstrate the in?corporation of magnetic labeled mouse EPCs into the implanted hepatoma. It may be helpful for early diagno?sis and therapy of liver tumor.

Objective To explore the effects of andrographolide(AP),extracted from the traditional Chinese herb Andrographlis paniculata(AP),on injury induced by radiation exposure.Methods Sixty male rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups and irradiated with 60Co γ-rays at the doses of 1,2,and 4 Gy,respectively:low dose AP group(intragnstrically administered with AP at the dose of 100 ms/kg daily for 10 d before irradiation),and high dose AP group(intragastrically administered with AP at the dose of 200 ms/kg daily for 10 d before irradiation),model group(administered with the same volume of normal saline instead of AP for 10 d before irradiation),and control group(irradiated only at 3 different doses).One day after irradiation all rats were killed with their livers being fixed to make paraffin section.The morphological feature was observed under light microscope after HE staining,and the cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL technology.Results Compared to the control and model groups,the pathological changes of liver were significantly gentler in the AP treatment groups.The apoptosis rates of the liver cells of all the AP sub-groups were significantly lower than those of the control and model subgroup(t=2.19-4.80.P<0.05).Conclusions AP might have prevention effect against radiation exposure.
