Clinical Efficacy of Bleomycin, Cyclophosphamide, Vindesine, Ara-C and Dexamethasone for Treatment of Patients with Relapsed Refractory Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma / 中国实验血液学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the clinical efficacy of bleomycin, cyclophosphamide, vindesine, Ara-C and dexamethasone(BACOD) for treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 56 patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma were divided into control group and treatment group. The control group were received the conventional BACOD treatment, and the treatment group received continuous venoclysis with BACOD. Clinical efficacy was observed and compared.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In control group, 6 patients achieved CR, 9 patients achieved PR, and their overall remission rate was 53.6%. In treatment group, 10 patients achieved CR, 12 patients achieved PR, and their overall remission rate was 78.6%. The overall remission rate of treatment group was significantly higher than that of control group (χ2=3.903, P<0.05). The incidence rates of nausea and vomiting, thrombocytopenia, abnormal liver function, fever and granulocytopenia were not significant difference (P>0.05) between the two groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The clinical efficacy of cyclophosphamide, vindesine and dexamethasone for treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory/diffuse large B cell lymphoma has been confirmed to be satisfactory, suggesting that the continuous venoclysis with BACOD can be apptied to the in clinical treatment.</p>

Ultrasonography of retroperitoneal ifbrosis / 中华医学超声杂志（电子版）

Objective To analyze the ultrasonographic features of retroperitoneal ifbrosis (RPF). Methods Totally 13 patients with retroperitoneal ifbrosis from February 2000 to October 2012 in the Long Gang central Hospital of Shenzhen were retrospectively analyzed. Results In all patients who underwent ultrasound examination, there were ten cases of idiopathic RPF and three cases of secondary RPF with abdominal tumors. In 11 cases, the masses were hypoechoic locating at retroperitoneum and surrounding the abdominal aorta without deifnitive margin. One case showed hypoechoic mass with clear boundary. In ten cases, the internal echogenicity of masses were uniform. In two cases, the internal echogenicity of masses were uneven with a small amount of ifbrous separator with slightly higher echogenicity. No blood was found in all masses. The encasement of inferior vena cava was found in three casesand the masses extended to iliac arteries in three cases. Hydronephrosis could be found in 11 patients (84.6%) and ureter dilatation was found in ten cases. Ureteral localized stenosis were found in two cases. Conclusion Ultrasonography is a preferred imaging method in diagnosing RPF.
