In this study, we evaluated the T cell response to melanoma-associated antigen （MAGE）-A1, MAGE-A3, or synovial sarcoma X-2 （SSX-2） in the peripheral blood of treatment-naive NPC patients. The relationship of responses among the three proteins and the human leukocyte antigen （HLA）-A types were analyzed to provide evidence of designing novel therapy. Methods： Sixty-one NPC patients admitted into the Tumor Hospital affiliated to the Xinjiang Medical University between March 2015 and July 2016 were enrolled. Mononuclear cells were isolated from the peripheral blood before any treatment. HLA-A alleles were typed with Sanger sequence-based typing technique. The T cell response to the MAGE-A1, MAGE-A3, or SSX-2 was evaluated with the Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSpot assay. Mann-Whitney U-test was used to compare the T cell responses from different groups. Spearman＇s rank correlation was used to analyze the relationship of T cell responses. Results： HLA-A＊02：01, A＊02：07, and A＊24：02 were the three most frequent alleles （18.9%, 12.3%, and 11.5%, respectively） among the 22 detected alleles. 31.1%, 19.7%, and 16.4% of the patients displayed MAGE-A1, MAGE-A3, or SSX-2-specific T cell response, respectively. The magnitudes of response to the three proteins were 32.5, 38.0, and 28.7 SFC/106 peripheral blood mononuclear cells, respectively. The T cell response against the three proteins correlated with each other to different extent. The percentage of A＊02：01 and A＊24：02 carriers were significantly higher in patients responding to any of the three proteins compared to the nonresponders. Conclusion： MAGE-A1, MAGE-A3, or SSX-2-specific T cell responses were detectable in a subgroup of NPC patients, the frequency and magnitude of which were correlated.展开更多
目的:分析髋关节滑膜肉瘤的影像学特点,提高诊断的准确性。方法:髋关节周围软组织滑膜肉瘤患者6例,其中4例行DR(digital radiography)拍片,1例行CT检查,6例患者均行MRI(underwent magnetic resonancei maging)检查。回顾分析相关影像学...目的:分析髋关节滑膜肉瘤的影像学特点,提高诊断的准确性。方法:髋关节周围软组织滑膜肉瘤患者6例,其中4例行DR(digital radiography)拍片,1例行CT检查,6例患者均行MRI(underwent magnetic resonancei maging)检查。回顾分析相关影像学资料,总结其影像学特点。结果:DR表现为髋关节不规则骨质破坏。CT表现为髋关节周围密度不均匀软组织肿块,内中可见斑点状钙化影,邻近骨质不规则破坏。MRI表现为髋关节周围软组织肿块,边界不清;T1WI呈低信号,T2WI呈高、低混杂信号,脂肪抑制序列T2WI呈混杂高信号。结论:发现髋关节周围软组织肿块并邻近骨质不规则破坏,要考虑滑膜肉瘤的可能性。DR、CT、MRI三者相结合有助于髋关节滑膜肉瘤的诊断。展开更多
