Exosomal CLIC1 released by CLL promotes HUVECs angiogenesis by regulating ITGβ1-MAPK/ERK axis.

Accumulating evidences have suggested that exosomes are closely associated with tumor progression by affecting cell-cell communication. Here, we aimed to investigate the roles and regulatory mechanism of exosomes released from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The expression levels of genes and proteins in cells and exosomes were examined by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively.

Clinical Analysis of Unicentric Castleman's Disease with Paraneoplastic Pemphigus and Bronchiolitis Obliterans.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of unicentric Castleman's disease(UCD)with paraneoplastic pemphigus(PNP)and bronchiolitis obliterans(BO).Method Data of UCD patients with PNP and BO from Peking Union Medical College Hospital were retrospectively analyzed,along with literatures review. Results Totally 23 cases(11 males and 12 females)were enrolled.

The clinical spectrum of IgM monoclonal gammopathy: A single center retrospective study of 377 patients.

Objectives: We retrospectively evaluated the clinical features, serum levels of IgM, and prevalence of IgM related diseases in patients with serum immunofixation electrophoresis (sIFE) confirmed IgM monoclonal gammopathy at our center.

Methods: We included patients with sIFE confirmed IgM monoclonal gammopathy between January 2008 and December 2014 in this retrospective study. We evaluated clinical data, sIFE, serum IgM levels, and diagnosis.
