Relationship between absolute monocyte/lymphocyte count and prognosis in low-risk patients with aggressive B cell lymphoma / 重庆医学

Objective To investigate the prognostic significance of peripheral blood absolute monocyte/lymphocyte count in low‐risk patients with aggressive B cell lymphoma .Methods Retrospective study was performed in 42 low‐risk patients with ag‐gressive B cell lymphoma approved by histology between 2003 to 2013 .Peripheral blood absolute monocyte count (AMC) ,absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) ,lymphocyte/monocyte(LMR) and the some other clinical characters were estimated .Results The best absolute monocyte/lymphocyte count cut‐offs respectively were 475/mm3 and 1 005/mm3 ,analyzed by receiver operating character‐istic curve .AMC≥475/mm3 and ALC<1 005/mm3 were found to be independent predictors of progress free survival (RR=4 .271 , 3 .023 ;P= 0 .01 ,0 .39);AMC≥475/mm3 was found to be independent predictors of 5‐year overall survival (RR= 4 .680;P<0 .0001) in low‐risk patients with aggressive B cell lymphoma .Conclusion Higher AMC and/or lower ALC are poor prognosis fac‐tors .AMC and ALC may be important prognostic factors of low‐risk patients with aggressive B cell lymphoma .

Peritoneal Ventilation with Pure Oxygen Improves Hypoxaemia of Rabbits Induced By Mechanical Controlled Hypoventilation / 中国呼吸与危重监护杂志

Objective To observe the effects of peritoneal ventilation with pure oxygen in the rabbits with hypoxaemia and hypercapnia induced by mechanical controlled hypoventilation.Methods Sixteen rabbits were invasive|y ventilated after trachea incision.Hypoxaemia and hypercapnia were induced by hypoventilation which was implemented both by degrading ventilation parameters and respiratory depression induced by intravenous infusion of muscle relaxant.Then pure oxygen was insufflated into the peritoneal cavity and arterial blood gases were measured every 30 minutes for two hours.Results The PaO2 was (52.50±3.46)mm Hg at baseline and increased to (76.46±7.79) mm Hg, (79.62±9.53) mm Hg, (78.54±7.18) mm Hg, and (81.1±8.3) mm Hg, respectively at 30,60,90, and 120 minutes after the peritoneal ventilation with pure oxgen (all P < 0.05).Meanwhile PaCO2 was (63.84±9.09)mm Hg at baseline and (59.84±14.22) mm Hg, (59.16±15.5) mm Hg, (60.02±7.07) mm Hg, and (61.38± 6.56)mm Hg, respectively at 30,60,90, and 120 minutes after the peritoneal ventilation with pure oxgen with no significant change (P > 0.05).Conclusion Peritoneal ventilation can obviously improve hypoxaemia induced by mechanical controlled hypoventilation, whereas hypercapnia remains unchanged.
