Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2010;19(4):193-195
1 or 2 grade FL followed by a diffuse large cell lymphoma(DLCL) ot a Burkitt/Burkitt-like lymphoma is TL.TL maintains a phenotype suggestive of germinal center derivation.The most common immunophenotype is the same as that of FL, CD+10/bcl-6+. Obtaining a biopsy of TL is enhanced if the biopsy is directed to the site with the greatest SUV. The risk of transformation of about 30% at 10 years after the initial diagnosis of FL.The median duration of survival after transformation generally ranging from 1 to 2 years.HDCT-ASCT, allogeneic tranplantation,radioimmunotherapy and bendamustine are the possible therapy for TL.

China Pharmacy 2005;0(24):-
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of Shenshuaining dispersible tablets on renal function of rats with chronic renal failure (CRF) induced by adenine and explore its action mechanism. METHODS: Seventy-two Sprague-Dawley rats (the ratio of male to female was 1∶1) were randomly divided into 6 groups: normal control group, model control group, Niaoduqing group, Shenshuaining dispersible tablets groups (high, middle and low doses). All groups except the normal control were fed with feed containing 0.5% adenine to estabish CRF model. After giving corresponding drugs for 7 weeks, the levels of nitric oxide (NO), total nitric oxide synthase (T-NOS), inducing nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), configuration nitric oxide synthase (cNOS), total superoxide dismutase (SOD), Cu/Zn-SOD and malonaldehyde (MDA) were detected. RESULTS: Compared with normal control group, the levels of NO,T-NOS, cNOS, T-SOD and Cu/Zn-SOD markedly decreased, and the iNOS and MDA contents were significantly increased in adenine-induced CRF rats. Shenshuaining dispersible tablets could markedly ameliorate the above indexes. CONCLUSION: Shenshuaining dispersible tablets could effectively ameliorate renal function. The mechanism might be related to the enhanced body's antioxidation abiliy, reduced damage of free radical and increased synthesis of cNOS and NO which possess protective effect on renal function.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic potential of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and Schwann cells(SCs) in experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN) and assess the effect and mechanism.Methods EAN model was established by immunization of Lewis rats with 400 μg of specific peptide P2(57-81)and complete Freund adjuvant.In the therapy group,the SCs (n =28) and the combination of BDNF administration and SCs (n =48) were labeled by the nuclear fluorescent dye injected into the intracerebroventricularly in 14 d after immunization.Transplanted cell migration tracking respectively were at 25,35 and 45 days after immunization.The rats were observed for signs of disease daily and subjected to clinical score,of which the sciatic nerves were subjected to histopathological examination (hematoxylin eosinstaining,luxol-fast-green and immunohistochemical staining).The inflammatory cell infiltration and demyelination were assessed,and the CD4,CD8,CD68,S-100 and nerve growth factor (NGF) positive cells numbers were compared among the 3 different groups.Results AIl the rats had the neurological deficits.Compared with control group,there were no significant differences in SCs therapy group.In SCs + BDNF therapy group,the recovery of paralytic symptom was faster and the score was lower after immunization 45 d.After immunization 25 and 35 days,both the inflammatory cells infiltration (EAN model group:325.8 ±10.8,221.4 ± 35.2;SCs + BDNF transplantation group:307.3 ±4.6,197.2 ± 16.8; t =2.172,P =0.031 ;t=3.756,P=0.000) and the expression of CD4+,CD8+ T cells and CD68+ macrophages were reduced.After immunization 35,45 days,the demyelination degree (EAN model group:3.4 ± 0.5,2.9 ± 0.8 ; SCs +BDNF transplantation group:2.9 ±0.8,2.3 ±0.5) was reduced (t =-7.408,P =0.000;t =-6.092,P =0.000),the expression of S-100 is higher,and NGF was lower than the control group in each time point after immunization.Conclusions SCs transplanted into the cerebellar ventricle of animals can migrate into the sciatic nerve.The combination of BDNF administration and SCs transplantation may represent an effective strategy by reducing inflammation reaction,improving the expression of S-100 in the donor cell,and reducing NGF irritability heighten in sciatic nerve.However,delivery of SCs alone is inefficiency to the treatment of EAN.

In the present work, Monte Carlo simulations were employed to study the characteristics of the dose distribution of high energy electron beam in the presence of uniform transverse magnetic field. The simulations carried out the transport processes of the 30 MeV electron beam in the homogeneous water phantom with different magnetic field. It was found that the dose distribution of the 30 MeV electron beam had changed significantly because of the magnetic field. The result showed that the range of the electron beam was decreased obviously and it formed a very high dose peak at the end of the range, and the ratio of maximum dose to the dose of the surface was greatly increased. The results of this study demonstrated that we could change the depth dose distribution of electron beam which is analogous to the heavy ion by modulating the energy of the electron and magnetic field. It means that using magnetic fields in conjunction with electron radiation therapy has great application prospect, but it also has brought new challenges for the research of dose algorithm.

BACKGROUND:Cytological studies show that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s play an important role in postmenopausal osteoporosis mechanism.
OBJECTIVE:To study the osteogenic differentiation in vitro of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s from ovariectomied osteoporotic rats.
METHODS:The osteoporotic animal model was established by performing ovariectomy in the 6-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats. There were four groups:bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s control group, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s osteoporosis group, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s osteogenic induction group and oseogenesis induction group. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were isolated from the rats of control group and oseogenesis induction group by means of the whole bone marrow adherence method and cultured to the 3rd generation. Then the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were used in al the experiments. Cel morphology was observed under the inverted phase contrast microscope, cel cycle and proliferation index of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were detected by flow cytometry. After osteogenic induction, the expression level of alkaline phosphatase was detected, and the fornation of calcium nodes of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were marked by alizarin red staining.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The cel s in the osteogenic induction group and oseogenesis induction group had the morphology of osteobalsts, and the change of morphology of the cel s in the oseogenesis induction group was relatively tardiness. The proliferation index in the control group was higher than that in the osteoporosis group (P<0.05);expression level of alkaline phosphatase in the osteogenic induction group was significantly higher than that in the oseogenesis induction group (P<0. 05), and the control group was significantly higher than the oseogenesis group (P<0.05). The alizarin red staining of the cel s in the osteogenic induction group was positive, while negative in the control group and the oseogenesis group;the staining in the osteogenic induction group was stronger than that in the oseogenesis induction group. These findings indicate that both the proliferative potential and the osteogenic potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s from the ovariectomized osteoporotic rats are decreased, which may be related with the ostoeporosis pathogensis of ovariectomied rats.
