ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the prognostic value of BCL-2, BCL-6 and MYC in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL).@*METHODS@#One hundred and sixty three cases of DLBCL in our hospital from March 2012 to March 2015 were selected. The specimens of lymphoma tissue of patients were collected. The expression of BCL-2, BCL-6 and MYC was detected by immunohistochemical method. The fusion of IGH/BCL-2, the gene breakage of BCL-6 and MYC were detected by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization. The correlation of the expression levels of BCL-2, BCL-6 and MYC with the clinicopathological features and prognosis in the patients with DLBCL was further analyzed.@*RESULTS@#MYC, BCL-2 and BCL-6 showed pale brown or reddish brown positive signals, among them MYC mainly positively expressed on the cell membrane, and BCL-2 mainly expressed on the cytoplasm and local cell membrane, and BCL-6 mainly expressed in the nucleus. The expression level of BCL-2 in ECOG physical status score 2 was higher than that in patients with ＜2 scores, and the expression level of BCL-2 in CD5 and germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) was significantly higher than that in patients with non-GCB (P＜0.05), and the international prognostic index (IPI) for 3-5 scores at the MYC expression level was significantly higher than that of the 0-2 score (P＜0.05); the expression level of BCL-6 in immune subtype CD5 and GCB was significantly lower than that in non-GCB (P＜0.05). The results of Cox multivariate analysis showed that the expression level of BCL-2, BCL-6 and MYC significant correlate with the overall survival and progression-free survival (P＜0.05) of the patients with DLBCL.@*CONCLUSION@#BCL-2, BCL-6 and MYC as important molecular markers are of high value for evaluating the prognosis of patients with DLBCL.

This study was aimed to investigate the incidence of thrombosis in patients with primary thrombocytosis (PT) and its correlation with function changes of platelets, and to explore the effect of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) inhibitor-ozagrel sodium on platelet activity and its efficacy for prevention and treatment of thrombosis. The CD62P and PAC-1 levels on platelet surface were detected by flow cytometry; the levels of TXB2 (metabolic product of TXA2) and 6-keto-PGFIalpha (metabolic product of prostacyclin) were detected by FLISA. The function change of platelets and its correlation with thrombosis were observed and compared in PT patients with and without thrombosis. The results indicated that the TXB2, PAC-1 and CD62P level, and TXB2/6-keto-PGF1alpha ratio in PT patients with thrombosis were higher than those in PT patients without thrombosis before treatment with ozagrel sodium (p<0.01). After treatment with ozagrel sodium, the function indexes of platelets such as CD62P, PAC-1, TXB2 and TXB2/6-keto-PGF1alpha except 6-keto-PGF1alpha in PT patients with and without thrombosis decreased obviously (p<0.01), but there was no significant difference in TXB2, 6-keto-PGF1alpha and TXB2/6-keto-PGF1alpha levels between PT patients with and without thrombosis except CD62P and PAC-1. It is concluded that the multi-index of platelets in PT patients with thrombosis are higher than that in PT patients without thrombosis, the activation of platelet function is a high risk factor for thrombosis of PT patients. The ozagrel sodium can obviously reduce the platelet activation, decrease the production of TXA2 and ameliorate the TXB2/6-keto-PGF1alpha ratio. The ozagrel sodium not only possesses therapeutic effect, but also preventive efficacy for thrombosis.
