Leukopenic chronic T cell leukemia mimicking hairy cell leukemia: association with human retroviruses

We report two cases of a T cell lymphoproliferative disease not previously described, with cytologic and clinical features similar to those associated with Galton's "prolymphocytic" leukemia (PL). Our patients, like those with Galton's PL, had massive splenomegaly and minimal or absent hepatomegaly and lymphadenopathy. In contrast, however, our patients had leukopenia, as well as low percentages of leukemic cells in the peripheral blood and in the bone marrow. In splenic imprints, the nuclear chromatin pattern of most of the leukemic cells was intermediate between those of mature lymphocytes and those of lymphoblasts, and the nuclei contained single, centrally located, conspicuous nucleoli. In sections of the spleen, the leukemic cells diffusely infiltrated the red pulp in a pattern strikingly similar to that of hairy cell leukemia; however, when the leukemic cells were studied cytochemically, the cytoplasmic acid phosphatase positivity was punctate and tartrate-sensitive. The leukemic cells were sheep erythrocyte rosette-positive and expressed T cell-associated antigens. Initially, both patients responded well to therapeutic splenectomy. One patient received combination chemotherapy after splenectomy and is alive and well 24 months after diagnosis. The other patient was in complete clinical remission for one year after splenectomy and received chemotherapy at relapse. He died, however, 23 months after splenectomy, with disseminated disease. IgG antibody titers against human T lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) were detected in one patient and against HTLV-II in the other. The leukemia in these patients represents a distinct clinicopathologic entity within the spectrum of peripheral T cell lymphoproliferative diseases that includes Galton's PL of T cell derivation, T cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, T cell hairy cell leukemia, and adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma.     

单用静脉大豆油脂肪乳剂对比联合应用鱼油脂肪乳剂的肠外营养对消化道肿瘤术后患者结局影响的随机、对照、双盲、多中心临床研究(摘要)

部分回顾性临床研究观察到在营养液配方中添加特异的药理营养素可能降低术后并发症,缩短术后恢复时间,但仍缺乏较大样本、前瞻性、多中心、随机对照临床研究的证据.近年来,药理营养素在肿瘤患者综合治疗中可能发挥的作用逐渐受到重视.本研究前瞻性观察了静脉用鱼油脂肪乳剂对消化道肿瘤术后患者结局和免疫功能的影响.     

新型输送型球囊扩张导管在颅内动脉狭窄治疗中的临床应用研究

目的：探讨新型输送型球囊扩张导管(Fastunnel)在颅内动脉粥样硬化狭窄介入治疗中的应用效果。方法：2021年11月至2022年2月,我们使用新型输送型球囊扩张导管对10例颅内动脉粥样硬化狭窄的患者进行了球囊扩张+支架成形术。收集并分析了患者的基线情况、影像学特点、治疗情况及围手术期情况。结果：男6例,女性4例,平均年龄(62.7±6.7)岁。10例患者均成功接受手术治疗,手术时长为16~65(37.3±18.2)min,治疗过程所受辐射剂量为1381~4901(2643.7±1131.7)mGy,剂量面积乘积(DAP)值为5707~38112(17526.8±10809.5)μGym₂^。围手术期无出血及缺血相关并发症。结论：输送型球囊扩张导管具有较好的安全性,能有效地简化手术步骤、缩短手术时间,对减少患者及医生所受射线剂量。
