Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of pregnancy with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Methods: The clinicopathological data of 7 patients of pregnancy with NHL admitted to Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2010 to May 2022 were reviewed. General information, diagnosis, treatment and maternal and child outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. Results: (1) The median age of the 7 patients was 28 years old (range: 26-33 years); 3 cases complained of abdominal pain (2 cases of huge pelvic or abdominal mass with multiple metastases), 2 cases of cough (1 case with superior vena cava syndrome), 1 case of facial swelling and pain, and 1 case of poor appetite...

AIM: To investigate whether spleen imaging characteristics of baseline 2-[18 F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (18 F-FDG) positron-emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) can help to predict the clinical outcome in complete response (CR) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three hundred and six patients with DLBCL were enrolled in the study and divided into recurrence and non-recurrence groups. The splenic abnormalities were compared using the chi-square test and quantitative indexes were compared using the t-test...

BACKGROUND: High-grade lymphoma in dogs is a chemotherapy-responsive neoplasia with remission rates exceeding 80% under combination chemotherapy protocols. Usually these protocols are intensive and 24 + weeks. The objective of the present study was to investigate if a shorter protocol combined with an oral lomustine maintenance treatment (3 × in 8 weeks) would present an acceptable result, both for B- and T-cell lymphomas, and for the different types of lymphomas normally encountered in private veterinary practice...

Marginal zone lymphomas (MZLs) represent about 7% of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas and include 3 different subtypes-namely, extranodal (EMZL), nodal, and splenic (SMZL). The initial assessment requires specific diagnostic and staging procedures depending on organ-related peculiarities. In particular, although positron emission tomography/computed tomography was not initially recommended, recent data have reassessed its role in the routine staging of MZL, especially when only localized treatment is planned or there is a suspicion of histologic transformation...

T-cell/histiocyte-rich B-cell lymphoma is a high-grade, morphologic variant of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. T-cell/histiocyte-rich B-cell lymphoma. It is rare as a primary splenic involvement and is usually reported as a second malignancy after hairy cell leukemia. Here, we report the first case that describes the occurrence of primary splenic T-cell/histiocyte-rich B-cell lymphoma in a patient with a previous diagnosis of recurrent hairy cell leukemia. A 53-year-old male patient was diagnosed with hairy cell leukemia in 1996 and achieved complete remission with Pentostatin...

Follicular lymphoma (FL) and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) are indolent mature B-cell neoplasms with variable clinical presentation and distinct histopathologic features. Recent advances in the biology and molecular characteristics of these lymphomas have further expanded our understanding of the heterogeneous nature of these lymphomas, with increasing recognition of specific disease entities within the broader categories of FL and MZL. Here, we discuss the conclusions of the 2022 International Consensus Classification of Mature Lymphoid Neoplasms (2022 ICC) dealing with FL, and review differences with the proposed WHO 5th Edition classification...

Two experiments were conducted in this study, using 250 Oreochromis niloticus (O. niloticus) (average weight 30.28 ± 0.27 g). The first experiment was conducted to investigate the 96-h lethal concentration 50 (LC50 ) of copper chloride (CuCl2 ) using the probit analysis, seventy fish was divided into seven different concentration of CuCl2 (0, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27 mg/L), the accurate Cu concentrations were (1.23, 5.36, 6.02, 6.98, 7.05, 7.93, 8.12 mg/L Cu). The second experiment was conducted for investigating the effect of dietary supplementation with thyme (Thymus vulgaris, T...

This study aims to evaluate the clinical benefit of salvage allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in combination with enhanced myeloablative preconditioning in the treatment of refractory liver and spleen T-cell lymphomas. A retrospective analysis was performed on three patients (with refractory liver and spleen T-cell lymphomas) who have been treated with salvage allo-HSCT combined with enhanced myeloablative preconditioning. One of three patients had a liver biopsy; the other two underwent bone marrow analysis using morphology, immunology, cytogenetics, and molecular biology...

CONTEXT: To evaluate the early death (ED; death within 30 days) rate and its causes in newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients. BACKGROUND: APL [t(15;17)] is a highly curable disease. EDs can be as high as 30% in a general hospital. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed new APL patients ≥18 years old treated at MHH between January 2009 and December 2021 using electronic medical records. Data included demographics, WBC, hemoglobin, platelet count on admission, coagulation parameters, presence/absence of disseminated intravascular coagulation, bone marrow or peripheral blood molecular analysis, immunohistochemistry, cytogenetics, Sanz score and risk stratification, timing of initiation of all trans retinoid acid (ATRA), complete response (CR) rate, major adverse events during induction, and ED rate...

A 76-year-old man presented with skin plaque and splenic nodules, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with infiltration of T-cells was suspected based on the skin lesions. The disease showed indolent clinical behavior for three months, when systemic lymphadenopathy rapidly evolved. An inguinal lymph node biopsy revealed DLBCL with abundant infiltration of T follicular helper (TFH) cells. A polymerase chain reaction-based analysis of immunoglobulin variable heavy chain showed that the skin, splenic nodules, and inguinal lymph node shared the same clone...

BACKGROUND: Morinda citrifolia (Noni) is a plant that has long been used in various products such as foods and cosmetics. Although noni has been known to have immunostimulatory activity, detailed mechanism at the cellular level has not been fully elucidated yet. In this study, we focused on understanding as to how noni fruit can positively stimulate body's immune responses. METHODS: To do this, an ethanol extract of noni fruit (Mc-fEE) was prepared and administered for 30 days to male C57BL/6 mice for in vivo experiment...

Lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) is the common non-Hodgkin lymphoma in childhood and adolescence. T-cell LBL (T-LBL) usually manifests with an anterior mediastinal mass and disseminated disease. We present a 12-year-old girl with progressive neck swelling and dyspnea for 1 year. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography/computed tomography done for pretreatment staging unveiled hypermetabolic lymph nodes on both sides of the diaphragm with splenic and bone marrow involvement. Apart from these, there was the extensive involvement of the left pleura...

Gammaherpesviruses establish lifelong infections in most vertebrate species, including humans and rodents, and are associated with cancers, including B cell lymphomas. While type I and II interferon (IFN) systems of the host are critical for the control of acute and chronic gammaherpesvirus infection, the cell type-specific role(s) of IFN signaling during infection is poorly understood and is often masked by the profoundly altered viral pathogenesis in the hosts with global IFN deficiencies. STAT1 is a critical effector of all classical IFN responses along with its involvement in other cytokine signaling pathways...

Objective: To optimize the stimulation and activation system of mouse CD3(+) T cells in vitro and explore the optimal infection time of CD3(+) T cells to establish mouse CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cells (mCD19 CAR-T) , and to also verify its killing effect in vivo and in vitro. Method: Splenic CD3(+)T cells were isolated and purified using magnetic beads, and the cells were cultured in Soluble anti-CD3/CD28, PMA+Ionomycin, and Plated anti-CD3/CD28. Cell activation and apoptosis were assessed by flow cytometry after 8, 24, 48, and 72 hours...

An 83-year-old man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypothyroidism, and osteoporosis developed neutropenia. He was diagnosed with agranulocytosis based on suppression and maturation arrest of myeloid series in the bone marrow. All of his prescriptions were stopped, and he was given granulocyte colony-stimulating factor because he was suspected to have drug-induced agranulocytosis. His neutropenia improved for a while, but it returned a month later. Serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor levels were elevated in his blood, and an abdominal computed tomography scan revealed splenomegaly with no lymph node enlargement...

An 11-year-old spayed female American Cocker Spaniel was presented with a 4-week history of anorexia and a 1-week history of abdominal distension. Clinicopathologic and imaging abnormalities included intra-abdominal hemorrhage, granular lymphocytes (GLs) in abdominal fluid smears, a splenic mass, and hepatomegaly with diffuse multiple hypoechogenic nodules. Based on the cytologic, histologic, and immunohistochemical evaluation of the spleen and liver, the diagnosis was hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) of GLs...

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma comprises a heterogeneous group of B cell-derived tumors, with different degrees of aggressiveness, as defined by their cellular origin and tissue microenvironment. Using the spontaneous Bc.DLFL1 lymphoma originating from a BALB/c mouse as a diffuse large B cell lymphoma model, in this study we demonstrate that the lymphoma cells display surface phenotype, IgH V-region somatic mutations, transcription factor characteristics and in vivo location to splenic extrafollicular regions of age-associated B cells (ABCs), corresponding to T-bet+ and Blimp-1+ /CD138- plasmablasts derivation...

Moloney murine leukemia virus (MLV) infects BALB/c mice and induces T-cell lymphoma in mice. Retroviral integration is mediated by the interaction of the MLV integrase (IN) with members of the bromodomain and extraterminal motif (BET) protein family (BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4). The introduction of the W390A mutation into MLV IN abolishes the BET interaction. Here, we compared the replication of W390A MLV to that of wild-type (WT) MLV in adult BALB/c mice to study the role of BET proteins in replication, integration, and tumorigenesis in vivo ...

Unique molecular vulnerabilities have been identified in the aggressive MCD/C5 genetic subclass of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, the pre-malignant cell-of-origin exhibiting MCD-like dependencies remains elusive. In this study, we examined animals carrying up to four hallmark genetic lesions found in MCD consisting of gain-of-function mutations in Myd88 and Cd79b, loss of Prdm1 and overexpression of BCL2. We discovered that expression of combinations of these alleles in vivopromoted a cell-intrinsic accumulation of B cells in spontaneous splenic germinal centers (GCs)...
