Multifocal extranodal lymphoma: A case report.

Introduction: We report an unusual and interesting case of non-Hodgkin lymphoma involving 7 extranodal sites.In this case, a 43-year-old woman with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, including stomach, breasts, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovary and bones, was confirmed by biopsy and positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan. The patient achieved a complete response after 2 cycles of chemotherapy with combined rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone, but subsequently developed central nervous system involvement.

MicroRNA deregulation in right ventricular outflow tract myocardium in nonsyndromic tetralogy of fallot.

Background: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is 1 of the most common heart defects in children, and the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of regulators of gene expression and are increasingly recognized for their roles in heart development.

Methods: To identify miRNAs abnormally expressed in TOF, microarrays were used to analyze the miRNA expression profiles of 5 samples of myectomy tissues from right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction of infants with nonsyndromic TOF and 3 age-matched normal RVOT tissues.
