Introduction: This study analyzed and discussed the characteristics of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) in patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC) to explore the PBLs' clinical application value.

Methods: This single-center case‒control study analyzed the clinical data of patients with EC and uterine fibroids who underwent surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between October 2018 and October 2023 retrospectively. The Center for Clinical Molecular Medical Detection of our hospital performed PBLs detection using flow cytometry, and recorded the detection results in the electronic medical records system. Between-group and subgroup comparisons of PBLs in patients with EC were analyzed using t-test or Mann-Whitney U test. The effect of surgery on PBLs in patients with EC was assessed using a paired t-test or the Wilcoxon signed rank test.

Results: The immune function of patients with EC was significantly lower than that of healthy people (P < 0.05) and those with benign uterine diseases (P < 0.05) and was related to body mass index (BMI), hypertension, diabetes, and blood lipids (P < 0.05). In patients with EC, the PBLs counts decreased significantly after surgery (P < 0.05) and more kinds of lymphocytes were affected in the laparoscopic surgery group than in the open surgery group.

Conclusions: With the decrease of PBLs counts, the immune status of patients with EC is impaired. Metabolic syndrome (Mets), including obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and high blood lipids, also affects the immune function of patients with EC. And for EC patients, the effect of laparoscopic surgery is greater than that of open surgery. PBLs has the potential to be one of indicator during the diagnosis and treatment of EC.

Trial Registration: This study was retrospectively registered by the Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (approval number K2023-578).

Background And Hypothesis: The complex immune-brain interactions and the regulatory role of mitochondria in the immune response suggest that mitochondrial damage reported in schizophrenia (SZ) may be related to abnormalities observed in immune and brain functions.

Study Design: Mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA CN), a biomarker of mitochondrial function, was assessed in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) of 121 healthy individuals and 118 SZ patients before and after 8 weeks of antipsychotic treatment, and a meta-analysis related to blood mtDNA CN was conducted. Plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in SZ patients were obtained from the medical record system.

Article Synopsis
  • Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is an aggressive type of lymphoma often seen in immunocompromised individuals, and it's linked to genetic mutations in the STAT3 gene.
  • A rare case of PBL was reported where the patient also developed T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGLL) and pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) following chemotherapy.
  • This case is significant as it is the first documented occurrence of PBL alongside T-LGLL and PRCA, providing valuable information about the complications and underlying mechanisms of PBL.

Background Breast carcinoma is the most common cause of death in women arising primarily from either epithelial or stromal components. Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is a less common type of neoplasm arising from the lymphoid tissue and is classified as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). PBL is a rare tumor that accounts for less than 1% of total primary malignant neoplasms of the breast.
