ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the clinical significance of memory T cells (CD45RO⁺ T) and the initial T cells (CD45RA⁺ T) distribution in peripheral blood of patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 27 patients diagnosed as PTCL in our hospital from February 2010 to February 2014 were collected in this study; whereas 30 healthy people were enrolled as control. The distribution of CD45RO⁺ T and CD45RA⁺ T cells were detected seperately in each group, and the results were analysed further.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The expression of T cell antigens in lymphnodes of PTCL patients were diverse: the CD4⁺ T cells were the main immune phenotype, while the B cell-related antigen was not expressed. The CD4⁺/CD8⁺, CD4⁺ CD45RO⁺ T in the peripheral blood of PTCL patients were significantly lower than that in normal group (P < 0.05); while the CD4, CD45RA⁺ T, CD8⁺ CD45RA⁺ T and CD8⁺ CD45RO⁺ T were significantly higher than that in normal group (P < 0.05). The patients in stage I/II had higher CD4⁺/CD8⁺, CD4⁺ CD45RO⁺ T than those in stage III/IV (P < 0.05), whereas the CD4⁺ CD45RA⁺ T, CD8⁺ CD45RA⁺ T and CD8⁺ CD45RO⁺ T were significantly lower than those in the stage III/IV patients (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The distributions of CD45RA⁺ T and CD45RO⁺ T in PTCL patients are quite different, and the corresponding treatment might be adopted according to the different distribution of these cells, so as to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of PTCL.</p>

A male patient,39 years old,presented with symptoms of cataract,dwarf,progeria,polydactyly and genu valgum,after the extracapusular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation on both eyes,the visual acuity was improved and his fundus examination was normal.As the syndrome is different from any eye syndrome we have ever known,so it maybe a new one.
ABSTRACT
Objective To demonstrate the MRI manifestations of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation(CCAM)and to evaluate the diagnostic value of MRI.Methods Thoracic axial,sagittal and coronal plane scanning were performed with SSFSE in 9 fetuses diagnosed or suspected of CCAM by ultrasound(US)within 1—2 days after US examination.The diagnosis was confirmed by postnatal autopsy or follow-up.Results In nine fetuses,seven cases of CCAM were diagnosed with MRI and confirmed by autopsy,one case was congenital pulmonary sequestration,one was normal on MRI and two weeks late US.In seven cases of CCAM(5 males and 2 females),four cases were in the right side,three in the left.Four cases of macrocystic type CCAM showed single or multiple cystic long T_2 signal in the unilateral lung,three cases of microcystic type CCAM presented long T_2 signal without cyst.Vessels with flow void phenomenon were found in 2 cases of CCAM and 1 case of pulmonary sequestration.Conclusion MRI can clearly show the location,range and contour of CCAM.The vessel originated from the aorta is suggestive of pulmonary sequestration.
