Immunocompetent individuals are naturally susceptible to TB, and immunocompromised patients have a greater risk of infection. Although patients with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) are in an immunosuppressed condition, there is only one reported case of TB accompanied with ATL in the English- language literature in the field of dermatology. Here, we report two patients with chronic-type ATL infected with TB manifesting as cutaneous solitary masses. Case 1 was a 58-year-old woman diagnosed with lumbar abscess with pulmonary TB. Case 2 was an 84-year-old woman diagnosed with tuberculous lymphadenitis in the left cervical region. It is important to raise the differential diagnosis of TB and perform tissue culture for acid-fast bacilli as well as Interferon-Gamma release assay test when dermatologists encounter mass lesions in patients with ATL.展开更多

Recently, derived from the strains of threse leukemia/lymphoma, SRS-82 cell line, SACIIB2, SACIIC3 cell clones and a cell line infected with SRS leukemia virus (SRSV/3T3) were obtained at vitro. The main results of study on the biology, virology and Its Induction of differentiation are summarily reported.展开更多

Methods: This retrospective database study used medical and pharmacy claims (1/2007-7/2012) from a large US health plan. Patients ≥18 years with ≥2 rituximab claims and ≥2 claims for either NHL or CLL were identified. The date of the first rituximab claim were set as the index date, and differences in treatment patterns and health care costs were examined during the period following the index date. Costs were adjusted for patient characteristics using a multivariate regression model. Results: A total of 4441 patients were identified;3167 received rituximab in the office/clinic setting, and 1274 in the hospital outpatient setting. From 2007 to 2012, the percentage of patients receiving rituximab in the hospital outpatient setting increased from 22% to 39%. Patients treated in the hospital outpatient setting vs. the office/clinic setting had fewer average counts of rituximab infusions (5.60 vs. 7.49, p 0.001), higher total health care costs (cost ratio = 1.325, p 0.001), higher infusion day drug and administration costs (cost ratio = 1.509, p 0.001), and higher rates of ER visits and inpatient stays (both p 0.001). Conclusions: These findings suggest that site of care may impact treatment patterns and costs of patients receiving rituximab, and additional research is needed to better understand the reason(s) for these differences by site of service.展开更多

Hence the present study examines the BMI-for-age of Indian childhood ALL and NHL survivors. Method: A retrospective study of 118 ALL/NHL survivors and 138 age sex matched was carried out. From the recorded heights and weights were body mass index (BMI) was computed. The survivor data was compared with 138 controls from the data set collected by investigators previously. Results: 82.8% of patients had BMI-for-age in 5th-84th percentile (healthy) at time of diagnosis and at inclusion in the study. Comparison of BMI of survivors with matched controls was not significant. However, The mean BMI-for-age for younger patients (3 to 12 years) was significantly higher than mean BMI-for-age of matched controls. Distribution of data by time elapsed from therapy was significant. Overweight/obesity was observed among the survivors who were off therapy for two years with increase in after four years post-therapy. Conclusion: Our preliminary study indicates late effects of therapy and points to the need of long term assessment of the survivors, even though majority of them were within the normal weight range.展开更多

The differential diagnosis is very difficult,especially when there are small lymphoid cells in Periphcral blood and bone marrow under light microscope. We have observed 34 cases with electron microscope. The studies were correlated with clinical manifestation, cytology, pathology and immunologic histochemistry. Ultrastructural features strongly indicated the difference in three various diseases, although all the immunologic markers showed B-cell type.It is concluded that electron microscopic examination is of a definite significance in the diaguosis and successful treatment.展开更多

All records were retrospectively collected. Time to event analysis was calculated from the date of HCT until event of interest or last follow up with Kaplan-Meir means. Cox regression model was used for multivariable analysis calculation.RESULTS A total of 69 patients were enrolled and examined with a median age of 21(14-61). After a median follow up of 15 mo(2-87.3), the 2-year cumulative incidence of relapse, cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality, progression free survival and overall survival(OS) were 34.1%, 10.9%, 54.9% and 62.8%,respectively. In a multivariable analysis for OS; acute graft vs host disease(GVHD) and chronic GVHD were significant with corresponding hazard ratio 4.9(1.99-12; P = 0.0007) and 0.29(0.1-0.67; P = 0.0044), respectively.CONCLUSION Allogeneic-HCT for high risk ALL/LBL resulted in promising remissions particularly for patients with cGVHD.展开更多

文摘目的:探讨发生组织学转化(histological transformation,HT)的滤泡淋巴瘤(follicular lymphoma,FL)患者的临床表现、组织病理学特征、不同治疗方案疗效及预后。方法:选取我院2018年12月至2022年10月收治的26例发生组织学转化的滤泡淋巴瘤患者,回顾性分析患者的临床特征、病理特征、治疗方案、疗效及生存状况。结果:26例患者,中位年龄57(43~97)岁,其中25例转化为弥漫大B细胞淋巴瘤(diffuse large B cell lymphoma,DLBCL),低级别转化2例,高级别转化19例,1例转化为B淋巴母细胞白血病/淋巴瘤(B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma,B-LBL);11例出现结外侵犯,8例出现骨髓侵犯;初步诊断时发生转化的患者17例,转化后的疗效5例达到CR,8例达到PR,化疗之后发生转化的患者9例,转化后疗效4例达到PR,两组ORR分别为76.5%和44.4%,两组ORR差异无统计学意义(P=0.194)。全部患者中位随访时间22个月,中位PFS未达到(3~45个月)和中位OS未达到(5~45个月),2年OS率和PFS率分别为80.7%和64.8%。单因素分析结果显示:ECOG评分(P=0.040)、Ki-67(P=0.005)是影响患者PFS的因素。Ann Arbor分期(P=0.014)、FLIPI-1评分(P=0.008)是影响患者OS的因素。多因素分析结果显示,Ki-67(P=0.028)是影响患者PFS独立的预后因素。结论:FL患者发生组织学转化后预后不良,ECOG评分≥2分、Ki-67≥70%的患者PFS差,Ann Arbor分期Ⅲ-Ⅳ期、FLIPI-1评分>2分的患者OS差,Ki-67是影响患者PFS的独立预后因素。
