ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the clinical values of detecting immunophenotype and analyzing DNA ploid by flow cytometry for patients with non-Hogkin's lymphoma (NHL).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Eighty NHL patients admitted in our hospital from August 2007 years to March 2015 Years were included in the observation group, 20 patients with reactive lymphoid hyperplasias were selectod as control group. The immunophenotypes were detected and the DNA ploid was analyzed by flow cytometry.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The detected rate of DNA aneuploidy, DAN index (DI) and SPF in observation group were higher than those in control group, there was signifificant difference (P < 0.05). The SPF and DI in patients with NHL-I, NHL-II had no statistical difference as compared with that in control group (P > 0.05); but the SPF and DI in pateints with NHL-III and patients with NHL-IV showed statistical significance as compared with that in control group (P < 0.05). The SPF and DI in patients with low malignancy group and middle malignancy group showed statistical significance as compared with control group (P < 0.05). The SPF and DI in middle malignancy group had statistical significance as compared with that in low malignancy group (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>the immunophenotype detection and DNA ploid analysis by flow cytometry can reflect the tumor proliferation and deterioration of patients with Non-Hogkin's lymphoma, predicting the prognosis.</p>
