Objective: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Due to its genetic heterogeneity and abnormal metabolism, many DLBCL patients have a poor prognosis. This study investigated the key metabolism-related genes and potential mechanisms.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of bortezomib retreatment in 76 patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM), who previously responded to bortezomib.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 76 MM patients, who had achieved at least a partial response (PR) on initial bortezomib therapy in our hospital from May 2006 to August 2011, received bortezomib retreatment when they relapsed or progressed.

Results: The overall response rate (ORR) was 60.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of different doses of lactulose on preventing oral morphine-induced constipation.

Methods: From January 2011 to May 2012, a total of 112 patients received oral lactulose solution to prevent morphine-induced constipation at our hospital and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The doses of morphine were adjusted according to the pain scores and lactulose was taken simultaneously.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (allo-PBSCT) from sibling donors for treatment of multiple myeloma (MM).

Methods: Ten patients with MM received allo-PBSCT with conditioning consisting of fludarabine plus melphalan and cyclophosphamide mostly.CsA plus mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and short-term MTX were applied to prevent graft versus host disease (GVHD) in 8 patients, FK506 plus short-term MTX in other 2 patients.

Background: Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a part of the standard induction therapy of multiple myeloma (MM). This case-controlled clinical trial aimed to further evaluate the therapeutic effects of ASCT as a consolidation therapy for MM and discuss factors influencing the prognosis.

Methods: Clinical data of 70 patients diagnosed as MM who received ASCT as a consolidation therapy in our hospital between October 1998 and August 2010 were analyzed retrospectively (ASCT group).

BCR/ABL can cause chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) in part by altering the transcription of specific genes with growth- and/or survival-promoting functions. Recently, BCR/ABL has been shown to activate survivin, an important regulator of cell growth and survival, but the precise molecular mechanisms behind its expression and consequences thereof in CML cells remain unclear. Here, we reported that BCR/ABL promotes survivin expression and its cytoplasmic accumulation.

Objective: To analyse the clinical feature and natural course of essential thrombocythemia (ET).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted in ET patients treated in our hospital during May 1980 to December 2006.

Results: Four hundred and thirty eight patients (201 males and 237 females with a median age of 48 years) were diagnosed.

We have recently provided evidence that transplantation of G-CSF mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cells (M-PBMNCs) improves limb ischemia in diabetic patients. This method represents a simple, safe, effective, and novel therapeutic approach for diabetic ischemia. Here we investigated the mechanisms by which mobilized blood cells transplantation improves limb ischemia.
