Objective: Investigate the expression of SRY-related HMG box 11 (SOX11) and paired box domain 5 (PAX5) in patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and analyze the relationship between them and their clinical significance.

Methods: Seventy-six formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples of patients who were diagnosed with MCL from January 2012 to August 2017 were collected.Fifty-six FFPE samples from patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), thirty-eight FFPE samples from patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) and nine FFPE samples from patients with Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) were used as control groups. Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of SOX11 and PAX5.

Objective: To explore the effect of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) on myeloma cell line MPC-11 in vitro and its anti-tumor mechamism so as to provide the theoretic evidence for treatment of multiple myeloma by using rhEPO.

Methods: MPC-11 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium, then the MPC-11 cells in logarithmic growth phase were seed in 96 well culture plates at a density of 1×10/ml cells with 100 µl per well. For all the experiments, the control and rhEPO groups were set up, and the rhEPO group was divided into different concentration groups: 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 200 and 400 rhEPO U/ml.

Previous studies in other provinces of China (Beijing, Xinjiang, Shanxi, Jiangxi, Shanghai, Guangdong, and Taiwan) suggest that the distributions of lymphoma subtypes differ compared with Western populations. In order to evaluate the characteristics of malignant lymphoma in Sichuan, China, we analyzed case series data from incident lymphoma patients diagnosed in 2008 from three hospitals, including a total of 1629 cases and including only current residents of Sichuan. The median age of diagnosis for cases was 54 years, with a higher proportion of male cases compared with female cases.

Objective: To investigate the clinical outcome of 489 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and to identify factors associated with the clinical outcome.

Methods: Medical records of 489 DLBCL patients admitted to the West China Hospital of Sichuan University from Jan 2000 to Dec 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into CHOP and RCHOP (rituximab plus CHOP) groups depending on their chemotherapy regimens.

Objective: To explore the diagnostic value of serum levels of BamHI-W fragment, latent membrane protein-1 (LMP-1), BZLF1 and ZEBRA protein in patients with natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphomas (NKTCLs), and to evaluate their relationship with clinical features.

Methods: A total of 144 cases were analyzed in this study, including 48 NKTCLs patients, 48 other types of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) patients and 48 healthy individuals as controls. Fluorescent quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) was used to measure the copy number of BamHI-W, LMP-1 and BZLF1 in serum.

Objective: To analyze clinical features and the differences of GCB and non-GCB phenotypes for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in different age groups, Ki-67 index and international prognostic index (IPI).

Methods: Clinical data of 681 patients with DLBCL hospitalized in West China Hospital from January 2000 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: Of these DLBCL cases, the median age was 56 years old with a male predominance, 51.

Objective: To test the effects and to identify appropriate dosage and possible mechanisms of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) in treating MPC-11 myeloma in the BALB/c murine models.

Methods: A total of 420 BALB/c mice were divided into five groups. 410 of which were injected with 10(4) MPC-11 cells.

This study was purposed to establish a multiple myeloma local tumor model in the BLAB/c mice. Healthy BLAB/c mice were injected subcutaneously with 6 x 10(5) MPC-11 cells. In the peak time of the subcutaneous nodules observed, five mice were randomized selected to be executed and the subcutaneous nodules of these mice executed were used to detect the CD138 and kappa light chain by means of HE staining and the immunohistochemistry methods.

Objective: To study the effect of dexrazoxane in preventing doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in rabbit-models and its mechanism.

Methods: Thirty one New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups, doxorubicin (DOX) group and doxorubicin + dexrazoxane group. The cardiotoxicity was assessed by measuring serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), left ventricular ejection function (LVEF), and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS), before and 4 and 10 weeks after intervention.

Objective: To explore the MMP-9 expression profile in peritoneal inflammatory macrophages and granulocytes in Mip-1alpha-, CCR1- and CCR5-deficient mice.

Methods: In sodium thioglycolate-induced murine peritonitis models, peritoneal macrophages and granulocytes were harvested, identified and purified from WT mice and Mip-1alpha-, CCR1-, CCR5-deficient mice. The RT-PCR was applied to evaluate the expression of MMP-9 in macrophages and granulocytes of different group of mice.

We reported a case of multiple myeloma, who suffered from the acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AML-M4) after the chemotherapy of alkylating agent. The patient had a history of multiple myeloma and was treated with the regimen of including L-Sarcolysinum and cyclophosphamide for 5 years. The multiple myeloma of this patient was proved to have got the remission through bone marrow aspiration, immunofixation electrophoresis of serum, serum protein electrophoresis and detection of urine light chain.

Immune mediated suppression of hematopoiesis has been considered as one of the most important mechanisms leading to pancytopenia in myelodysplastic syndromes. This research was aimed at evaluating immune state of the MDS patients, analyzing the peripheral blood T cell subsets and CD3zeta chain expression and searching the possible reasons of hematopoietic disorders in 11 cases of MDS. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were collected from 11 patients whose diagnosis was confirmed according to the new WHO diagnostic criteria.
