ABSTRACT
Purpose To explore the mutation of CD79B and MyD88 in primary testicular diffuse large B cell lymphoma and their significance.Methods Histopathologic features were observed in 15 cases of primary testicular diffuse large B cell lymphoma and immunophenotype was analyzed by immunohistochemical staining (IHC).Sanger sequencing was used to detect CD79B Y196 and MyD88 L265 mutation in these cases.The relationship between CD79B,MyD88 mutation and the clinicopathological features was analyzed.Results Immunophenotypically,15 cases were non germinal center B cell type.CD79B (Y196) mutation was detected in 4 cases (26.7％).For MyD88,L265 mutation was found in 7 cases (46.7％).CD79B and MyD88 mutations were found in 3 cases.The followup information was obtained in 8 patients.No association was found between CD79B,MyD88 mutation and outcome of patients.Conclusion Primary testicular diffuse large B cell lymphoma of non germinal center B cell type is a rare aggressive B cell lymphoma with poor prognosis and poor response to chemotherapy.CD79B,MyD88 gene mnutation was detected in Chinese patients with frequency of 26.7％ and 46.7％ respectively.It is possible for molecular targeted therapy of the primary testicular diffuse large B cell lymphoma on the basis of high frequency of CD79B and MyD88 gene mutation.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effects of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) on bone metabolism of mice in vivo.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twenty-four male BALB/c mice were divided into a control group and 2 experimental groups (n=8). The whole-body of mice in experimental groups were exposed to 50 kV/m and 400kV/m EMP, 400 pulses daily for 7 consecutive days at 2 seconds intervals. Alkaline phosphotase (ALP) activity, serum calcium concentration and osteocalcin level and trabecular bone volume (BV/TV, %) were measured immediately after EMP exposure by biochemical, ELISA and morphological methods.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The ALP activity, serum calcium concentration and osteocalcin level and BV/TV in experimental groups remained unchanged after EMP exposure. Conclusion Under our experimental conditions, EMP exposure cannot affect bone metabolism of mice in vivo.</p>

This study was aimed to evaluate the reversed effects of cyclosporin A (CsA) on multidrug resistance (MDR) of human leukemic cell line HL-60/ADM, and to investigate the relationship of the oxygen free radical content between HL-60/ADM cells and the reversed HL-60/ADM cells (HL-60/ADM + CsA). The cytotoxicity and the reversed effects of CsA on multidrug resistance of human leukemic cell line HL-60/ADM were studied by MTT, flow cytometry (FCM) and immunohistochemical assay; the oxygen free radical for HL-60/ADM and HL-60/ADM + CsA cell lines were detected by colorimetric method. The results showed that the CsA less than 4 microg/ml had no significant cytotoxicity on HL-60/ADM, while the cytotoxicity was rised with CsA concentration increasing; And CsA (4 microg/ml) combined with ADM (1 microg/ml) could obviously restrain the growth of HL-60/ADM cells (p < 0.001). The P-gp expression of HL-60/ADM decreased obviously after exposure to CsA (4 microg/ml) for 72 hours, at the same cell conditions, MDA concentration of the reversed groups (HL-60/ADM + CsA cells) was higher than that of the control groups (HL-60/ADM cells) (p < 0.05), while the levels of SOD and GSH in the reversed groups were significantly lower than that in control groups (p < 0.001). It is concluded that MDR of HL-60/ADM can be reversed effectively by low dose of CsA, the level of oxygen free radical increases and the activity of antioxidants decreases in the reversed cells. Oxygen free radicals may be involved in this reverse process, which thereby lead to the cell death.
