1.Diagnosis progress and treatment standard of post-transplantation lymphoproliferative diseases
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2017;26(8):502-505
Post-transplantation lymphoproliferative diseases (PTLD) is a kind of lymphoproliferative disease caused by immune deficiency after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and solid organ transplantation, and characterized by poor prognosis. Its major pathogenesis is associated with EB virus (EBV), which means immune monitoring in the condition of immune deficiency generates abnormal hyperplasia and transformation of B-cell infected by EBV. The clinical manifestations include fever, pharyngitis, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly and other nonspecific symptoms. Supplementary examination refers to EBV, and definite diagnosis requires histopathology results. Pathological classification of PTLD includes early lesion, polymorphic lesion, monomorphic lesion, and Hodgkin's lymphoma. Management of EBV infection and EBV related to PTLD after transplantation is divided into 3 levels: prevention of EBV activation, preemptive treatment and target therapy. Fortunately, rituximab being a B-cell targeted drug has gained an increasing application.

Objective:To explore the relationship between microRNA-4429 (miR-4429) derived from serum exosomes and prognosis of radical radiation and chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods:309 blood samples of NSCLC patients were collected [before chemotherapy (T0), after 1 cycle of chemotherapy (T1) and after 2 cycles of chemotherapy (T2), 103 cases at each time point], and the expression level of miR-4429 was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR method, and the relationship between it and the prognosis of radical radiation and chemotherapy in NSCLC was analyzed.Results:The 1-year, 2-year and 3-year survival rates of 103 NSCLC patients were 69.90%, 45.63% and 34.95%, respectively. The expression levels of T1-miR-4429 and T2-miR-4429 in the survival group were 0.66±0.14 and 0.77±0.11, respectively, which were higher than T1-miR-4429 (0.60±0.06) and T2-miR-4429 (0.62±0.11) in the death group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.269, 6.997, P<0.05). Restricted cubic spline fitting COX regression analysis showed that T2-miR-4429 had a linear relationship with survival in NSCLC. COX regression analysis showed that TNM staging was an independent risk factor for the survival and prognosis in NSCLC ( P<0.05), and the degree of differentiation, targeted therapy and T2-miR-4429 were all independent protective factors for the survival and prognosis in NSCLC ( P<0.05). The calibration curve of the nomogram regression model constructed by TNM stage, degree of differentiation, targeted therapy and T2-miR-4429 coincided well with the ideal curve, and the C-index was 0.713. Conclusions:The high expression level of T2-miR-4429 indicates that NSCLC patients have a low risk of poor survival prognosis. The nomogram regression model constructed by TNM staging, degree of differentiation, targeted therapy and T2-miR-4429 has a certain degree of discrimination and accuracy, which can assist in evaluating the prognosis of NSCLC.
