Objective To compare the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of primary Waldeyer's ring non-Hodgkin lymphoma.Methods From Jan 2008 to Dcc 2013, 50 patients with primary Waldeyer's ring non-Hodgkin lymphoma were retrospectively analyzed.Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis.Log-rank method was used for univariate analysis.Results Waldeyer's ring diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and extranodal nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) were the common pathological types of primary Waldeyer's ring non-Hodgkin lymphoma accounting for 56 ％ (28/50) DLBCL and 34 ％ (17/50) ENKTCL, respectively.The age at onset of ENKTCL patients was younger than that of DLBCL patients.Two groups had different primary sites, including 50.0 ％ (14/28) of DLBCL with tonsillar disease and 88.2 ％ (15/17) of ENKTCL with nasopharynx disease.The short phase effect of DLBCL group was higher than that of ENKTCL group.The overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates had significant differences between DLBCL and ENKTCL (x2 =4.45, P =0.035;x2=6.47, P =0.011).Conclusion DLBCL and ENKTCL are different in clinical characteristics.The short phase effect and prognosis of DLBCL are obviously better than those of the ENKTCL.

Objective Toinvestigatethecorrelationofsmallvesseldisease(CSVD)causedacute lacunarinfarctionandurinemicroalbumin.Methods Theclinicaldataof136patientswithacutelacunar infarction admitted to the Department of Neurology,Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from November 2012 to April 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into either a CSVD group (n=72)or a cerebral large vessel disease (CLVD)group (n=64)according to their carotid artery color Doppler ultrasound and head magnetic resonance angiography findings. The levels of urinary microalbumin in both groups were observed and compared. SAS 9. 1 software was used to conduct statistic analysis. A Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for CSVD caused acute lacunarinfarction.Results TheconcentrationofurinemicroalbuminoftheCSVDgroup(22±13mg/L) was significantly lower than (29 ± 14 mg/L)that of the CLVD group. There was significant difference (P<0.05). There was significant difference in the increased urine microalbumin levels between the CSVD group and the CLVD group (P<0. 01). There was an increasing trend for the proportion of patients with urine microalbumin concentration 10- <30 mg/L (56. 9%[41/72])in the CSVD group compared with the CLVD group (26. 6%[17/64]). Logistic regression analysis showed that the slightly increased microalbuminuria was associated with CSVD caused acute lacunar infarction (OR,3. 130,95%CI 1. 481-6.618;P<0.01).Conclusion Theslightlyincreasedmicroalbuminuriaisanindependentriskfactorfor CSVD caused acute lacunar infarction.

Objective To observe the effect of intra-articular injection of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)on the experimental osteoarthritis in rabbits and study the mechanism.Methods Forty rabbits un derwent unilateral anterior cruciate ligament transection(ACLT)and then divided into two groups randomly. 100?mol/L DHEA resolved in the dimethylsulphoxide were injected into the knees of experimental rabbits 4 weeks after transection,once a week for five weeks.Rabbits in the control group were treated under the same schedule using dimethylsulphoxide.All rabbits were killed 9 weeks after ACLT and the knee joints were evalu- ated by gross morphology and histology.The mRNA expression of metalloproteinases-3(MMP-3),tissue in- hibitor of metalloproteinases-1(TIMP-1)and interleukin-lbeta(IL-1?)in the cartilage and synovium was analyzed using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results Gross morphologic in- spection and histological evaluation showed that the extent and grade of cartilage and synovium damage in the experimental group were less severe than the control group.The mRNA expression of MMP-3 in cartilage and synovium decreased significantly in the experimental group(both P＜0.05).The mRNA expression of TIMP-1 in cartilage and synovium increased significantly in the experimental group compared with that in the control group(both P＜0.05).No significant difference of IL-1?mRNA expression in cartilage was found between the experimental and the control groups(P＞0.05).The mRNA expression of IL-1?in the synovium was signifi- cantly suppressed in the experimental group compared with that in the control group(P＜0.01).Conclusion DHEA protects against cartilage degradation,alleviates synovium inflammation and inhibits the progression of osteoarthritis in the experimental model.Down-regulation of MMP-3 and up-regulation of TIMP-1 in cartilage and synovium and IL-1?in the synovium may be the mechanism of the protective effect of DHEA on os- teoarthritis.

Objective To investigate the distribution of ompA gnne in 15 Chinese reference standard strains belonging to 15 serogroups of Leptospira interrogate, and to express recombinant OmpA ( rOmpA ) and to identify immunogenicity and immunoprotection of rOmpA. Methods Genomic DNAs from different leptospiral strains were extracted by phenol-chloroform method. Entire ompA gene fragments from the strains were amplified by PCR and then sequenced after T-A cloning. A prokaryotic expression system of ompA gene from L. interrogans strain 56601 was constructed, and the expression and yield of rOmpA were determined by SOS-PAGE plus Bio-Rad Agarose Image Analyser. Rabbits were immunized with rOmpA for obtaining antiserum, and immunodiffusion test was used to measure the antiserum's titer. Western blot assay was performed to determine the immunoreaetivity of rOmpA with the antiserum against rOmpA and antiserum against whole cell of L. interrogans strain 56601, while mi-croscopic agglutination test (MAT) was applied to detect the cross agglutination to the 15 L. interrogans strains. A leptospire adhering cell model and a leptospire infecting guinea pigs model were used to determine the adhesion-bloc-king effect of rOmpA antiserum and immunoprotection of rOmpA. Results All the 15 L. interrogans strains, but not L. biflexa strain Patoe Ⅰ , had sequence conserved ompA genes. The yield of rOmpA was approximate 20% of the total bacterial proteins, rOmpA could induce rabbits to produce antibody and immunodiffusion titer of the anti-serum was 1:4. Both antisera against rOmpA and against whole cell of L. interrogans strain 56601 were able to pro-duce positive Western blot signs to rOmpA, and the former offered 1 : 20-1 : 320 MAT titers to the 15 L. interrogans strains. 1: 10-1:160 dilutions of rOmpA antiserum could efficiently block L. interrogans strain 56601 adhering to J774A. 1 cells, and 100 μg and 200 μg rOmpA displayed 50.0% and 75.0% immunoprotective rates in the infee-ted guinea pigs. Conclusion ompA gene only exists in genomes of different pathogenic L. interrogans serogroups. rOmpA has relatively stronger antigenicity, cross immunoreactivity and certain immunoprotection, implying that this recombinant protein may be used as a candidate antigen for developing universal genetic engineering vaccine of L. interrogans.
