ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics ,diagnosis and treatment of acute leukemia complicating deep ve‐nous thrombosis(DVT) to deepen the cognition on this complication .Methods The clinical data of consecutive patients with acute leukemia were performed the retrospective analysis .The occurrence situation of deep venous thrombosis was investigated and the a‐broad related literatures were reviewed .Results A total of 116 cases of acute leukemia in our department from July 2011 to March 2014 were treated ,in which 85 cases were acute myeloid leukemia and 31 cases were acute lymphoblastic leukemia;5 cases devel‐oped DVT with the proportion of 4 .31% (5/116) .Of these cases ,3 cases were acute promyelocytic leukemia and 2 cases were acute lymphoblastic leukemia .Conclusion The occurrence rate of DVT in the patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia is relatively higher ,if the patients have the corresponding symptom ,timely diagnosis and treatment should be conducted .
ABSTRACT
To study the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 in human prostate cancer, matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 were immunohistochemically detected in tissues of prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Our results showed that matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 levels in prostate cancer were much higher than those in tissues of BPH, with the cancer invasion being positively correlated with the expression of the metalloproteinases. It is concluded that matrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 are better molecular markers, which are of help in the diagnosis and prediction of prognosis of prostate cancer.
