Chinese guidelines for treatment of adult primary immune thrombocytopenia.

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a bleeding disorder commonly encountered in clinical practice. The International Working Group (IWG) on ITP has published several landmark papers on terminology, definitions, outcome criteria, bleeding assessment, diagnosis, and management of ITP. The Chinese consensus reports for diagnosis and management of adult ITP have been updated to the 4th edition.

Clinical analysis of 1629 newly diagnosed malignant lymphomas in current residents of Sichuan province, China.

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.

Meta analysis of treatment for stage IE~IIE extranodal natural killer /T cell lymphomas in China.

Objective: To evaluate early treatment for extranodal natural killer/T cell lymphoma (ENK/TCL) in China and provide reference for clinical treatment of these patients.

Methods: Computer-based retrieval was performed in PubMed, CNKI, CBM, VIP and WanFang Data to search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of treatment for early ENK/TCL, and a meta-analysis was conducted with RevMan 5.0 software.

[Determination of serum granulocyte colony-stimulating factor level in patients with chronic idiopathic neutropenia and its significance].

To investigate the serum granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) level in patients with chronic idiopathic neutropenia (CIN) and analyze its clinical significance. By the use of G-CSF-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the serum levels of G-CSF were determined in 40 cases with chronic CIN, 40 cases with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated neutropenia and 40 healthy volunteer (normal control). Results showed that serum G-CSF was positive in 11 normal controls and in 10 cases with SLE, and the G-CSF levels were (27.
