ObjectiveTo investigate the proliferation and apoptosis effects of adenovirus-mediated interleukin-24 (Ad-IL-24) gene on Karpas299 cells in vitro. MethodsThe Karpas299 cells were divided into blank control group, Ad-IL-24 group, and the adenovirus which carrying green fluorescent protein gene group (Ad-GFP group). Karpas299 cells of Ad-IL-24 group were infected by adding 200.0 μL Ad-IL-24, Karpas299 cells of Ad-GFP group were infected by adding 200.0 μL Ad-GFP, but Karpas299 cells of blank control group were treated by adding 200.0 μL PBS. Cells' proliferation inhibition rates of 3 groups were detected by cell counting kit (CCK-8) method at 12, 24, and 48 hours after treatment, respectively, and the cells' apoptosis rates of 3 groups were detected by flow cytometry at 48 hours after treatment. ResultsAd-IL-24 can suppress the growth of Karpas299 cells, and the inhibition rate increased over time. Compared with Ad-GFP group at the same time, the cell' proliferation inhibition rate of Ad-IL-24 group was higher at 12, 24, and 48 hours after treatment (P<0.05). In addition, the cells' apoptosis rate of Ad-IL-24 group was higher than those of Ad-GFP group and blank control group at 48 hours after treatment (P<0.05). ConclusionAd-IL-24 can suppress the growth of Karpas299 cells and induce the apoptosis of it.
ObjectiveTo summarize the experience of diagnosis and treatment on primary gastric lymphoma. MethodsThirtyseven patients, proved by pathology, were included in the study. ResultsAmong clinical presentation, the upper abdominal pain, intestinal bleeding, and weight loss were common. Only 4 cases were diagnosed as PGL in 33 cases with the examination of Xray barium meal, 88.5% ( 23 of 26 cases) were missdiagnosed as gastric ulcer under gastroscopy. All cases underwent operation, among them 33 had been performed a radical operation. The survival period was over 5 years in 12 of 25 patients who have been followed up. ConclusionThe multiple biopsy sampling from submucosal layer via gastroscope may improve diagnostic rate on primary gastric lymphoma. Operative removal of the tumor should be the first choice of treatment. Additional chemotherapy after the surgery increases the fiveyear survival rate.
ObjectiveTo investigate the value of MRI in the diagnosis of central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL). MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 20 cases of primary CNSL (PCNSL) and 13 cases of secondary CNSL (SCNSL) from the Second People's Hospital of Chengdu and Chengdu 363 Hospital from January to December 2013, and analyzed their clinical data and MRI image data. We observed the tumor location, tumor size and signal, and carried out the statistical analysis. ResultsTwenty patients had PCNSL in the brain, including single lesion in 9 (45.0%), and multiple in 11 (55.0%). Among the 48 lesions, there were 23 (47.9%) nodular lesions, 21 (43.8%) crumb lesions, and 4 (8.3%) dot patch lesions; MRI showed slightly low T1 signal and slightly high T2 signal in most lesions, and showed significant even enhancing, and mild to moderate edema around the tumor. SCNSL lesions were mainly meningeal disseminated with 3 cases (23.1%) of single lesions and 10 cases (76.9%) of multiple ones, and there were a total of 30 lesions. MRI manifested that T1 and T2 mainly showed equal signals, and showed an obviously even enhancing status, and mild to moderate edema around the tumor. ConclusionThe central nervous system lymphoma has a certain characteristic MRI image, and MRI images of the primary and secondary central nervous system lymphoma were similar.
ObjectiveTo study the clinical manifestation, radiographic characteristics, and treatments of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia(RLH) of liver. MethodsThe clinical data and treatment process of 1 patient with RLH of liver in our hospital was analyzed retrospectively, and the other 49 cases reported in English literature were reviewed. ResultsThere were 33 pieces of case reports found in PubMed database. For all 50 patients, there were 45 female(90%) and 5 male(10%) patients, and the mean age was(57.6±14.0) years(15-85 years). Only 8 patients(16%) were discovered with multiple mass, the rest of them were solitary mass(84%). Of the 50 patients, 6 patients(12%) were discovered because of bellyache, 2 patients(4%) were discovered during operation, 2 patients(4%) were discovered by pathological examination after liver transplantation, 1 patient(2%) was discovered during autopsy, 39 patients were discovered during examination or reexamination. The tumors were located in the right lobe for 25 patients(50%), in the left lobe for 15 patients(30%), in the both lobes for 4 patients(8%), and in the caudal lobe for 1 patient(2%), while 5 cases(10%) were not given in the articles. Eleven patients(22%) had the history of malignancy, 15 patients(30%) were concomitant with autoimmune disease, and 5 patients(10%) were concomitant with virus hepatitis infection. Thirty-six patients(72%) were diagnosed as malignancy preoperatively, and 43 patients(86%) underwent surgical resection. ConclusionsRLH of liver is an extremely rare and benign condition which presents a female predilection and often concomitants with autoimmune disease and history of malignancy. Considering the risk of malignant transformation, surgical resection is recommended and further researches are necessary for better understanding of this disease.

Methods:We retrospectively reviewed 30 cases with thymoma and 18 cases with malignant lymphoma proven by surgery and pathology.More attention was put on the density, morphology and relation with the surrounding structures of the tumors. Results: The CT manifestations of 30 cases of thymoma were shown as: For 24 cases of benign thymoma, the boundaries were clear, the shapes were “D” signs or contra“D” signs, CT attenuation value were 1659Hu and 20110Hu on unenhanced and contrastenhanced scanning. For 6 cases of malignant thymoma, the boundaries were unclear, the shapes were lobulated or irregular, the density was heterogeneous, CT attenuation value were 2342Hu and 2360Hu on unenhanced and contrastenhanced scanning. For 18 cases of malignant lymphoma, 6 cases were located at anterior mediastinum, 12 cases were nodes or multiple mass, enveloped the neighboring vessel structures, mildly enhanced on contrastenhanced scanning, and associated with enlargement of lymph nodes in other place. Conclusion: MSCT can display the imaging features of thymoma and anterior mediastinal lymphoma, and effectively differentiate thymoma and mediastinal lymphoma.
