Objective To explore the protective effect and mechanism of exogenous hydrogen sulfide ( H2 S) on pressure ulcer rats with ischemia/reperfusion ( I/R) injury. Methods Forty SD rarts were randomly divided into 4 groups,namely normal control group,I/R model group,low-dose H2 S intervention group and high-dose H2 S interven-tion group. Each group had 10 animals. The low-and the high-dose H2 S intervention groups were injected intraperitone-ally 10 and 30μmol/kg of sodium hydrosulfide ( NaHS) for 1 week,respectively;however,the normal control group and I/R model group were treated with same volume 9 g/L saline. Then,the normal control group did not sustain any pres-sure,but other 3 groups were pressurized. After 3 circulations of ischemia/reperfusion,all rats were sacrificed,and path-ological changes in pressure ulcer rats were evaluated by HE staining. Serum H2 S contents were analyzed through meth-ylene spectrophotometric method. Serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6),intercellu-lar adhesion molecule -1 (ICAM-1),and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ) . The activities of malondialdehyde ( MDA ) , superoxide dismutase ( SOD ) , glutathione-peroxidase ( GSH-Px) and catalase ( CAT) in the homogenate of muscle were examined. Apoptotic index ( AI) was calculated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling ( TUNEL) . The expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax in muscle tissue were evaluated by Western blot. Results In comparison with the normal control group,serum TNF-α, IL-6,ICAM-1 and MPO levels,MDA activity in the homogenate of muscles,AI and Bax expression level were in-creased (all P<0. 01),while serum H2S levels,the activities of SOD,GSH-Px and CAT as well as Bcl-2 expression levels were reduced in the I/R model group (all P<0. 01). Upon intervention therapy of low-or high-dose H2S,path-ological scores,serum TNF-α,IL-6,ICAM-1 and MPO levels,MDA activity in the homogenate of muscle,AI and Bax expression levels were gradually reduced while serum H2 S levels,the activities of SOD,GSH-Px and CAT and Bcl-2 expression levels were gradually enhanced when compared to those of the I/R model group (all P<0. 05,0. 01). Con-clusions Exogenous H2 S has better protection against pressure ulcer rats with I/R injury. The mechanism may be as-sociated with inhibition of inflammatory reaction and enhancement of antioxidative ability as well as reduction of apopto-sis.

Objective To investigate the relationship between tumor subclassifieation and the clinicopathologic features and prognosis of patients with gastrointestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Method From June 2000 to June 2007, 63 gastrointestinal DLBCL cases were enrolled. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect CDIO, Bcl-6 and MUM1 expression. Tumors were subclassified according to CDIO, Bcl-6 and MUM1 expression. Results CD10 expression was positive in 13 cases. Bcl-6 expression was positive in 53 cases. MUM1 expression was positive in 52 cases. According to the expression of CD10, Bcl-6 and MUM1, 17 cases(27%) were of germinal center B cell-like (GCB) DLBCL and 46 cases (73%) were of non-GCB. There was a significant difference in local lymph node metastasis between GCB group and non-GCB group, but there was no significant difference in terms of tumor size and infiltrate depth between the two subgroups. The survival time of patients in GCB group(76 months) was significantly longer than that of non-GCB group (28 months). Among cases receiving postoperative chemotherapy (CHOP), the survival of GCB group (76 months) was longer than non-GCB group (24 months). All 4 GCB cases and 4 non-GCB cases under R-CHOP chemotherapy are alive (22 ~ 47 months). Conclusion Gastrointestinal DLBCL subclassification is closely correlated with local lymph node metastasis, and this in combination with the expression of CD10 could be used to predict the prognosis of patients with gastrointestinal DLBCL.

Background: Aberrant Bcl-2 transcription is closely related with nodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), however, the relationship between Bcl-2 and primary gastrointestinal DLBCL (PGI-DLBCL) was not fully studied.Aims: To investigate the relationship between Bcl-2 gene amplification and protein expression and clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotype and prognosis of PGI-DLBCL.Methods: Clinical data was collected from 136 PGI-DLBCL patients receiving surgical treatment, and a telephone interview was conducted for survival information.Bcl-2 gene amplification and protein expression in tumor tissue were determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization and immuno-histochemistry, respectively, and relationships between Bcl-2 and clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotype and prognosis of PGI-DLBCL were analyzed.Results: Among 136 PGI-DLBCL patients, 33 (24.3%) showing gene amplification and 90 (66.2%) showing protein expression of Bcl-2;gene amplification was correlated with primary tumor location, Ann Arbor stage, serum lactate dehydrogenase level, B symptom and International Prognostic Index (IPI) score (P<0.05), while protein expression was correlated with primary tumor location and immunophenotype (P<0.05).5-year overall survival (OS) in patients positive for Bcl-2 gene amplification and patients with non-GCB immunophenotype and positive for Bcl-2 protein expression were inferior to those negative ones (41.5%vs.71.5%, P<0.05;54.6% vs.84.6%, P<0.05).In Bcl-2 gene amplification or protein expression positive patients, 5-year OS of CHOP chemotherapy was inferior to that of rituximab combined with CHOP chemotherapy (48.6%vs.80.3%, P<0.05;66.4%vs.83.4%, P<0.05).Conclusions: Detection of Bcl-2 gene amplification is useful for prediction of prognosis in PGI-DLBCL.Both patients with Bcl-2 gene amplification and non-GCB patients with Bcl-2 protein expression have a poorer prognosis.Rituximab may improve the prognosis in patients with Bcl-2 gene amplification or protein expression.
