Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment efficacy in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). Methods The clinical data and treatment methods of 176 patients with newly diagnosed MM were retrospectively analyzed. Results The most common chief complaint in the patients with MM was bone pain. 26.1 % (46/176) patients once experienced misdiagnosis. The overall response rate (ORR) was 65.9 % (116/176), the ORR of bortezomib group (81.0 %, 34/42) was significantly higher than that of M2 regimen group (61.8 %, 34/55) and VAD regimen group (60.8 %, 48/79) (P<0.05). Between normal renal function subgroup and renal insufficiency subgroup in bortezomib group, the efficacy was no significant difference (P>0.05). The most common adverse reactions included hematologic toxicity, infection and peripheral neurotoxicity. Multiple organ failure was the main cause of death (47.1 %, 16/34). Conclusions The clinical manifestations of MM are complex and diverse, which is easy to be misdiagnosed. Molecular genetic abnormalities are closely related to prognosis. Proteasome inhibitor bortezomib can improve the curative effect and not be affected by renal function. To prolong the survival time of the patients needs to prevent and control the infection and renal insufficiency actively.

Objective To investigate the distribution of T follicular helper(Tfh)cell subsets in hepa-titis B patients at different immune stages and to clarify the relationships between the level of CXCL13 and the distribution of Tfh cell subsets. Methods Flow cytometry analysis was performed to detect the distribution of Tfh cells. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was performed to measure the levels of CXCL13 in ser-um samples collected from hepatitis B patients. RT-PCR and Western blot assay were used to analyze the expres-sion of CXCL13 in HepG2 and HepG2. 2. 1. 5 cells. Results The percentages of Tfh1 cells were significantly up-regulated at the immune activation(IA)stage,while those of Tfh2 cells were significantly raised at the im-mune tolerance(IT)stage. The percentages of Tfh17 cells in patients at the stage of IT were similar to those in patients at the stage of IA,but were higher than those in responders with HBsAg seroconversion(RP)or healthy controls(HC). The expression of CXCL13 was positively correlated with the percentage of Tfh2 cells. More over,hepatitis B virus(HBV)enhanced the expression of CXCL13 at both transcriptional and translational lev-els. Conclusion HBV might up-regulate the percentage of Tfh2 cells through promoting the expression of CXCL13,which resulted in the induction of immune tolerance. Elucidating the functions of Tfh1,Tfh2 and Tfh17 cells and understanding the type conversion mechanism among the three subsets are important for further researches on HBV-induced immunosuppression.
