RESUMO
Objective To investigate epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)gene T790M mutation in plasmatic ctDNA samples from 171 patients with non-small cell lung cancer and analyze the relationship between EGFR T790M mutation and the clinical factors. Methods The EGFR T790M mutation was detected in 171 cases by super amplification refractory mutation system(Super ARMS)in this paper. Rusults The EGFR gene T790M mutation was identified in 7.60%(13/171)plasmatic ctDNA samples which mostly came from patients withⅢb~Ⅳstages of lung cancer. The EGFR T790M mutation rate was identified in 2.05%(3/146)plasmatic samples of pa-tients who did not received treatment of EGFR-TKIs,which was lower than 40.00%(10/25,P<0.05)plasmatic samples of patients who received treatment of first generational EGFR-TKIs. The EGFR T790M mutation rate was identified in 75.00%(3/4) and 60.00%(6/10) plasmatic samples of patients who have received TKI for 6 to 10 months and more than 10 months,which was higher than 9.10%(1/11,P < 0.05)plasmatic samples of patients who have received TKIs for less than 6 months. Conclusions This article demonstrated that EGFRT790M muta-tion was more common in lately NSCLC patients who have received TKIs treatmentover 6 months,meanwhile the EGFR T790M mutation dynamical detective technology will effectively guide the clinic treatment.

RESUMO
Purpose To investigate the sensitivity of BIOMED-2 primer system in T lymphoblastic lymphoma ( T-LBL) and acute lym-phoblastic leukemia ( ALL) patients immunoglobulin ( Ig) and T-cell receptor ( TCR) gene rearrangement, and to analyze the co-rear-rangement pattern. Methods Amplification of rearranged Ig and TCR gene was performed in standard PCR in 35 T-LBL/ALL pa-tients. PCR products were analyzed by heteroduplex and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Results 16 cases (45. 7%) of 35 sam-ples were detected to have TCR gene rearrangements, including 6 cases (37. 5%) of TCRβgene monoclonal rearrangements, 4 cases (25. 0%) of TCRγ gene monoclonal rearrangements, 3 cases (18. 8%) of TCRβ and TCRγ gene double rearrangements, 2 cases (12. 5%) of TCRδ gene monoclonal rearrangements and 1 case (6. 3%) of TCRγand TCRδgene double rearrangements were detec-ted. 4 cases (11. 4%) of 35 samples detected to have clonal immunoglobulin and TCR gene rearrangements. 11 cases (39. 3%) of 28 T-LBL patients were detected to have TCR gene rearrangements, 6 cases (85. 7%) of 7 T-ALL have TCR gene rearrangements. Con-clusions BIOMED-2 multiplex PCR analysis strategy is a useful technique in the T-LBL patients.
RESUMO
Purpose To discuss the TCR gene rearrangements in the diagnosis of T-cell lymphomas. Methods Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples including 30 cases of T-cell lymphomas and 30 cases of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia were chosen for ex-tracting genomic DNA and PCR amplification using 56 BIOMED-2 primers. PCR products were analyzed by heteroduplex and polyacryl-amide gel electrophoresis. Results In all 30 cases of T-cell lymphomas, 25 cases (83. 3%) showed TCRβ gene monoclonal rear-rangements, 28 cases (93. 3%) of TCRγ gene monoclonal rearrangements, 4 cases (13. 3%) of TCRδ gene monoclonal rearrange-ments. 29 cases (96. 7%) with TCRβ+TCRγ+TCRδ gene monoclonal rearrangements were detected. but no clonal TCR gene rear-rangements were found in 30 cases of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. Conclusions The detection of TCR gene rearrangements using BIOMED-2 primers is a useful assistant method for the diagnosis of T-cell lymphomas.
