OBJECTIVE: To investigate the predictive value of endothelial activation and stress index (EASIX) for the prognosis of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted to assess prognosis and compare the clinical features of patients diagnosed with MCL who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2010 to June 2023, had therapeutic indications and received standard treatment. RESULTS: A total of 66 patients were included and divided into high EASIX group and low EASIX group, according to a cutoff value of 0.97 determined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that prealbumin <0.2 g/L, high EASIX, and ECOG PS score ≥2 were independent risk factors influencing overall survival (OS) in MCL patients. The median OS of patients in the high and low EASIX group was 13.0 and 37.5 months, and the median progression-free survival was 8.8 and 26.0 months, respectively. The proportions of patients with ECOG PS score ≥2 and prealbumin <0.2 g/L at onset significantly increased in the high EASIX group compared to those in the low EASIX group. CONCLUSION At the time of initial diagnosis, EASIX can serve as an independent prognostic indicator impacting OS in patients with MCL. Furthermore, patients in the high EASIX group experience a poorer prognosis and shorter survival duration compared with those in the low EASIX group.

Objective: To examine the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of elderly patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and the impact of nutrition and underlying diseases on the prognosis of elderly patients with MCL. Methods: retrospectively analyzed 255 elderly patients with MCL from 11 medical centers, including Peking University Third Hospital between January 2000 and February 2021. We analyzed clinical data, such as age, gender, Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index score, and treatment options, and performed univariate and multivariate prognostic analysis. We performed a comprehensive geriatric assessment on elderly MCL patients with medical records that included retraceable underlying disease and albumin levels, and we investigated the impact of basic nutrition and underlying disorders on MCL prognosis in the elderly. Results: There were 255 senior individuals among the 795 MCL patients. Elderly MCL was more common in males (78.4%), with a median age of 69 yr (ages 65-88), and the majority (88.6%) were identified at a late stage. The 3-yr overall survival (OS) rate was 42.0%, with a 21.2% progression-free survival (PFS) rate. The overall response rate (ORR) was 77.3%, with a 33.3% total remission rate. Elderly patients were more likely than younger patients to have persistent underlying illnesses, such as hypertension. Multivariate analysis revealed that variables related with poor PFS included age of ≥80 (P=0.021), Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ (P=0.003), high LDH level (P=0.003), involvement of bone marrow (P=0.014). Age of ≥80 (P=0.001) and a high LDH level (P=0.003) were risk factors for OS. The complete geriatric assessment revealed that renal deficiency was associated with poorer OS (P=0.047) . Conclusions: Elderly MCL patients had greater comorbidities. Age, LDH, renal function, bone marrow involvement, and Ann Arbor stage are all independent risk factors for MCL in the elderly.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the value of multiple detection methods based on histopathology and supplemented by bone marrow or peripheral blood sample detections in the comprehensive diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). METHODS: The clinical, immunophenotypic, pathologic, cytogenetic and molecular features of 153 newly diagnosed MCL patients admitted to the hematology department of our hospital from May 2009 to September 2022 were analyzed. RESULTS: 144 (96.6%) of the 149 MCL patients who underwent marrow or peripheral blood IGH/CCND1 FISH detection at initial diagnosis were positive, of which 36 cases (24.2%) had a low proportion positive. The immunophenotypes in 115 patients were analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM), 89 cases (77.4%) conformed to MCL while 23 cases (20.0%) were initially diagnosed as B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (B-LPD). Of the 75 cases who performed bone marrow biopsy, 50 cases (66.7%) had morphological and immunophenotypic characteristics consistent with MCL, 15 cases (20.0%) were classified as B-LPD, and 10 cases with no obvious abnormality. 77 patients underwent histopathology examination, of which 73 cases (94.8%) had typical clinicopathological features of MCL, including 2 CCND1 negative MCL, 2 pleomorphic variants, 5 pleomorphic variants and 4 cases diagnosed as other leukemia or lymphoma. Among 153 cases of MCL, 128 cases were classic MCL(cMCL), and another 25 cases (16.3%) were diagnosed as leukemic non-lymph node MCL (lnnMCL). The incidence of IGHV mutation, TP53 mutation and CD23 expression positive were significantly different between cMCL and lnnMCL. CONCLUSION Histopathology is still the main standard for the diagnosis of cMCL, and detection based on bone marrow or peripheral blood samples is an important means for the diagnosis of lnnMCL. Single marker or examination can cause a certain proportion of misdiagnosis. The accurate diagnosis of MCL depends on a combination of multiple detection methods.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical-biological features and outcomes of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). METHODS: The clinical and laboratory data of 104 patients with newly diagnosed MCL who were admitted to the Department of Hematology, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2011 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, and the efficacy was observed through survival analysis. RESULTS: Among 104 MCL patients, 88 were male and 16 were female. The median age was 54 (25-79) years old, 93.0% (93/100) of the patients with advanced stage (III and IV stages) and 48.08% (50/104) of the patients with bone marrow infiltration. Patients with Ki-67≥50% had higher WBC counts and LDH levels. Univariate analysis showed that the patients with WBC≥15×10⁹/L, bone marrow involvement, high LDH, high β₂-MG levels, Ki-67≥50%, SOX11^-, had lower OS and EFS rates (P =0.005, 0.049, 0.033, 0.025, 0.042, 0.018 and 0.001, 0.021, 0.024, 0.035, 0.014, 0.026). The OS rate and EFS rate of patients in R-CHOP and R-Hyper-CVAD treatment groups were significantly higher than those in other treatment groups (P =0.02, 0.002 and P =0.001, 0.001). Patients with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) had higher OS rate and EFS rate (P =0.037, 0.013). Multivariate COX analysis showed that only WBC count, SOX11 expression and whether achieved CR after 4 courses treatment were the independent factors affecting the prognosis. CONCLUSION MCL mainly occur in elderly men. There are many factors affecting patients' survival, while WBC≥15×10⁹/L, negative expression of SOX11 and failure to achieve CR after 4 courses of treatment are adverse factors for MCL patients.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical characteristics of the patients with B-cell chronic lymphoproliferative disease（B-CLPD） in the new drug era and the effect of new drug treatment on efficacy and survival. METHODS: The clinical and laboratory data of 200 cases B-CLPD patients diagnosed between April 2015 and August 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical efficacy and survival of the patients under different treatments including Bruton tyrosine kinase（BTK） inhibitors， rituximab， and chemotherapy alone were analyzed. The prognostic factors affecting the survival of patients were analyzed by univarite analysis and multivariate analysis. RESULTS: There were 119 male（59.5％） and 81 female（40.5%） in 200 cases B-CLPD patients， the sex ratio(male/female) was 1.5∶1 with median age of 61（30- 91） years old. The distribution of subtypes were as fallows: 51 cases (25.5%) of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma（CLL/SLL）， 64（32.0%） cases of follicular lymphoma（FL）， 40（20.0%） cases mantle cell lymphoma（MCL）， 30（15.0%） cases of marginal zone lymphoma（MZL）， 10（5%） cases of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/waldenstrom macroglobulinemia（LPL/WM）， 5（2.5%） cases of B cell chronic lymphoproliferative disorders unclassified（B-CLPD-U） . The main clinical manifestation of 102 patients was lymph node enlargement, 32 cases were complicated with B symptoms. Among CLL/SLL patients， there were 12（23.5%） cases in Binet A and 39（76.5%） cases in Binet B/C. There were 29 patients（20.9%） in Ann Arbor or Lugano stage I-II and 110 cases（79.1%） in stage III-IV of other subtypes. The complete remission（CR） rate was 43.1%（25/58）， 40.2%（39/97）， 7.1%（1/14）， and overaIl response rate（ORR） was 87.9%（51/58）， 62.9%（61/97）， 28.6%（4/14） in the groups of BTK inhibitors， rituximab-based therapy， and chemotherapy alone. The 3-year OS rate and PFS rate in all patients was 79.2% and 72.4% respectively. The 3-year OS rate of patient with MZL, CLL/SLL, FL,WM was 94.7%, 87.7%, 86.8% and 83.3% respectively, while the 3-year OS rate of MCL was only 40.6%, which was significantly lower than other subtypes. The median OS of patients treated with BTK inhibitors and rituximab-based therapy was 20.5 and 18.5 months respectively， and the 3-year OS rate was 97.4% and 90.7%. However， the median PFS of patients receiving chemotherapy alone was 4 months， and the 1-year OS rate was 52.7%， which was statistically significant compared with the other two groups（P<0.05）. Univarite analysis showed that anemia， elevated lactate dehydrogenase， elevated β2-microglobulin， and splenomegaly were the poor prognostic factors for OS（P<0.05）， elevated lactate dehydrogenase was also poor prognostic factors for PFS（P<0.05）. Multifactor analysis showed that anemia and elevated lactate dehydrogenase were the independent poor prognostic factors for survival（P<0.05）. CONCLUSION The clinical features of B-CLPD was various， anemia and elevated lactate dehydrogenase are the prognostic factors for poor survival. BTK inhibitors and new immunotherapy can improve the survival and prognosis of patients in the new drug era.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features and molecular genetics of cyclin D1-negative mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Methods: The clinicopathological features and molecular genetics of CyclinD1-negative MCL diagnosed between January 2016 and July 2021 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were analyzed using immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Clinical information was collected and analyzed. Results: A total of five Cyclin D1-negative MCL cases from all 212 MCL patients (5/212, 2.4%)were included. There were three male and two female patients,age ranged from 59 to 70 years (median 64 years). All patients presented with nodal lesions. None of the patients had B symptoms but four had bone marrow involvement. Histopathologically, four cases were classic MCL and one case was pleomorphic variant type. All five cases were negative for Cyclin D1 but SOX-11 were positive in all cases. CD5 was positive in four cases and one case was weakly positive for CD23. CD10 and bcl-6 were negative in all cases. CCND1 translocation was identified in three cases and CCND2 translocation in one case by FISH analysis. However,CCND3 translocations were not found in the five cases. Conclusions: Cyclin D1-negative MCL are uncommon, its accurate diagnosis needs combined analysis with morphologic and immunophenotypic characteristics and genetic changes. It may be particularly difficult to distinguish from other small cell type B cell lymphomas. FISH analyses for CCND1/CCND2/CCND3 translocations and immunohistochemistry for SOX-11 are helpful to resolve such a difficult distinction.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, and treatment outcomes of patients with limited-stage (Ann Arbor stage I or II) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). METHODS: Examining consecutive the clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes and prognostic factors of 47 patients with stage I or II MCL diagnosed in Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January 2005 to June 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: The median age of patients was 62(37-78) years old. 36 patients were male, accounting for 76.6% of the whole. Among these, 74.5% (n=35) of the diagnoses were estimated at II stage. According to Mantle cell lymphoma International Prognostic Index (MIPI), 28 patients (59.6%) were classified as low risk. Patients who received first-line treatment and could be evaluated received rituximab combined chemotherapy, chemotherapy alone, cytarabine containing chemotherapy or chemotherapy combined with local radiotherapy, the different first-line therapies did not affect the complete response (CR) rate of patients (P＞0.05). The median follow-up time was 81.5 months, the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 37.4% and the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 80.6%. Multivariate analysis showed that Ki-67＞30% (P＜0.05) the independent adverse prognostic factor for PFS and OS. CONCLUSION Limited-stage MCL is rare. Patients with limited-stage MCL had a better outcome than those with III-IV stage MCL. Patients with limited-stage MCL whose Ki-67≤30% had better PFS and OS.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between different body mass index (BMI) and prognosis of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). METHODS: The clinical characteristics and biological indices of 108 patients with MCL treated in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, and the effects of different BMI on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed. The correlation between BMI and B symptoms, LDH and Ki-67 was further observed. Furthermore，the differences of BMI between Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation(Auto-PBSCT) and conventional chemotherapy groups were explored. RESULTS: Among 108 patients, the median age at diagnosis was 59（25-79） years old, and the male to female ratio was 4.4∶1. 88.89% of patients with Ann Arbor staging III-IV, 63.89% with bone marrow involvement, and 49.07% with splenic infiltration. Patients with BMI ≥ 24 kg/m² were divided into two groups: the high BMI group and the low BMI group. The 5-year PFS and OS of patients in the low BMI group were 31.9% and 47.0%, respectively, while those in the high BMI group were 64.6% and 68.7%, respectively. The incidence of death in the high BMI group was lower than that of the low BMI group (P＜0.01). In multivariate analysis, BMI was an independent predictor of PFS (HR=0.282; 95% CI: 0.122-0.651; P=0.003) and an independent predictor of OS (HR=0.299; 95% CI: 0.129-0.693; P=0.005). Also, patients with B symptoms had a lower BMI than those without B symptoms (P=0.01), but BMI had no effect on patients' LDH and Ki-67. The prognosis of 16 patients treated with Auto-PBSCT was significantly better than that of the conventional chemotherapy group. There was no significant difference in BMI between Auto-PBSCT group and conventional chemotherapy group. CONCLUSION BMI is an independent prognostic factor for PFS and OS in MCL, and may be influenced by the effect of B symptoms on BMI.
