Chronic lymphocytic leukemia with t(14;18)(q32;q21): report of 3 cases and review of literature / 白血病·淋巴瘤

Objective:To improve the understanding of chronic lymphoblastic leukemia (CLL) with t(14;18)(q32;q21).Methods:The clinical data of 3 cases diagnosed as CLL with t(14;18)(q32;q21) in the Tianjin KingMed Medical Laboratory from January 2020 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinicopathological data, morphological examination, immunophenotype, cytogenetics and somatic mutation of immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region genes of patients were comprehensively analyzed, and the literature was reviewed.Results:All the 3 patients showed lymphatic proliferative diseases, and their morphological characteristics and immunophenotype were typical characteristics of CLL.Conclusions:The diagnosis of CLL is mainly based on the typical morphology and immunophenotype of tumor cells. The presence of t(14;18) should not be used to exclude the diagnosis of CLL.

Endoscopic facelift of the frontal and temporal areas in multiple planes

<p><b>INTRODUCTION</b>The detachment planes used in endoscopic facelifts play an important role in determining the results of facial rejuvenation. In this study, we introduced the use of multiple detachment planes for endoscopic facelifts of the frontal and temporal areas, and examined its outcome.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>This study included 47 patients (38 female, 9 male) who requested frontal and temporal facelifts from January 2009 to January 2014. The technique of dissection in multiple planes was used for all 47 patients. In this technique, the frontal dissection was first carried out in the subgaleal plane, before being changed to the subperiosteal plane about 2 cm above the eyebrow line. Temporal dissection was carried out in both the subcutaneous and subgaleal planes. After detachment, frontal and temporal fixations were achieved using nonabsorbable sutures, and the incisions were closed. During follow-up (ranging from 6-24 months after surgery), the patients were shown their pre- and postoperative images, and asked to rate their satisfaction with the procedure. Complications encountered were documented.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All 47 patients had complete recovery without any serious complications. The patient satisfaction rate was 93.6%. Minor complications included dimpling at the suture site, asymmetry, overcorrection, transitory paralysis, late oedema, haematoma, infection, scarring and hair loss. These complications resolved spontaneously and were negligible after complete recovery.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Dissection in multiple planes is valuable in frontal and temporal endoscopic facelifts. It may be worthwhile to introduce the use of this technique in frontal and temporal facelifts, as it may lead to improved outcomes.</p>

Comparison of clinical effects between autologous fat and hyaluronic acid in filling nasolabial grooves / 中华医学美学美容杂志

Objective To compare the efficacy between autologous fat and hyaluronic acid in filling nasolabial grooves.Methods Sixty patients who wanted improvement of nasolabial grooves were involved in the study.They were randomly and equally classified into two groups:autologous fat injection group and hyaluronic acid injection group.Photographs were taken before,half a year,and one year after injection.The nasolabial grooves were also graded before,half a year,and one year after injection.The grade improvement was obtained after postoperative grade minus preoperative grade.If the grade improvement was more than 1 grade,the treatment was regarded as effective to evaluate the outcome between the two methods.Results The results of the two groups were tested by SPSS 13.0 software.The effects of the two methods were not significantly different after half a year of filling (P＞0.05).The difference was significant one year after filling (P＜0.05).In autologous fat injection,the patients had a long and magnificant swelling and redness around the nasolabial grooves;on the contrary,the patients who underwent hyaluronic acid had slight and short-time local reaction like swelling and redness.No other serious complications were found in both the groups.Conclusions The effects of the autologous fat and the hyaluronic acid are equal after half a year of filling.The autologous fat has a longer effect in one year.Both methods are safe and effective.Surgeons can select the method accordingly.
