多脏器恶性肿瘤术后肝黏膜相关淋巴组织淋巴瘤

目的 探讨肝黏膜相关淋巴组织淋巴瘤的临床病理特征。方法 对1例罕见多脏器恶性肿瘤术后肝黏膜相关淋巴瘤病例结合文献进行临床、病理和免疫组化分析。结果 患者于8年和3年前先后发生胃恶性间质瘤、阴囊阴茎皮肤湿疹样癌，有长期化疗史。肿瘤组织学以单核样B细胞为主，并有淋巴滤泡和淋巴上皮病变形成。免疫表型示瘤细胞CD45、CD79α、CD20阳性，CD5、CD10、ALK、TdT阴性，bcl—2、Ki—67少数肿瘤细胞阳性。结论 肝黏膜相关淋巴瘤可以发生于多脏器恶性肿瘤术后，其发病可能与长期使用免疫抑制剂有关，诊断本病时需与肝继发性淋巴瘤及肝的炎性假瘤鉴别。     

Impaired recognition of fear in a Chinese man with bilateral cingulate and unilateral amygdala damage

LJM, a 41-year-old schizophrenic Chinese man with bilateral anterior cingulate gyrus (Brodmann's area 24) lesions and also a small lesion in right amygdala after an operation, was compared with normal as well as brain-damaged and schizophrenic controls in identification of morphed facial expressions of six basic emotions. In repeated administrations of the test for recognition of facial emotions, over a 1- year period, LJM performed significantly worse for expressions of fear compared with the three groups of controls. Recognition of other emotions was not significantly different from that of the controls, except that his recognition of disgust during the first session (but not in two subsequent sessions) was worse than normal and brain-damaged controls but not worse than schizophrenic controls. The dissociation between recognition of fear and other emotions supported the view that the brain has separable networks for processing different emotions, and that the right amygdala as well as the anterior part of bilateral cingulate gyrus are possible substrates involved in the special network for perception of fear. The results from the various groups of Chinese subjects indicate that they perceive emotions in a categorical manner, and that the six basic emotions are likely to be cross-cultural universals.     

Deletion spanning the 5′ ends of both the COL4A5 and COL4A6 genes in a patient with Alport's syndrome and leiomyomatosis

Alport's syndrome is characterized clinically by a nonimmune glomerulopathy, often accompanied by sensorineural hearing loss and lens abnormalities, frequently due to mutations in the COL4A5 gene. The association of AS with diffuse leiomyomatosis, a benign proliferation of smooth muscle that occurs most often in the esophagus, trachea, and female genitalia, has been reported. Recently, a deletion involving both the COL4A5 and COL4A6 genes has been reported in four unrelated families. We report an additional case with Alport's syndrome associated with leiomyomatosis carrying a deletion of both COL4A5 and COL4A6 genes. A detailed characterization of the genomic region involved in the deletion event has been performed. Our results demonstrate that the deletion removed exon l of COL4A5 and exons l and 2 of COL4A6. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Inhibition of the Mixed Lymphocyte Culture Response by Antibody Following Successful Human Renal Transplantation

Immunoglobulin G, appearing after several months in the serum of a recipient of a successful kidney transplant from a closely matched sibling donor, was demonstrated to progressively inhibit unidirectional mixed lymphocyte cultures when donor lymphocytes were used either in responding or stimulating cell populations. The active recipient IgG had no effect in cultures in which donor cells were not used, nor did IgG obtained from other individuals show nonspecific inhibitory effects on cultures containing donor cells. It is suggested that the MLC inhibitory immunoglobulin may serve an immunoregulatory function after renal transplantation.     

脐带血清对骨髓粒—巨噬细胞集落形成的影响

在骨髓细胞半固体琼脂培养体系中，研究脐带血清（ＣＢｓ）对骨髓粒—巨噬细胞集落形成单位（ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ）的影响，单纯应用ＣＢｓ培养可使骨髓ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ（ｘ±ｓ为２６．０３７５±１０．２３２７）显著的高于正常成人外周血清（ＰＢｓ）组（ｘ±ｓ为１１．５９１７±３．６０４７；Ｐ＜０．００１）。ＣＢｓ加粒－巨噬细胞刺激因子，ＧＭ－ＣＳＦ组ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ（ｘ±ｓ为１１９．０７９２±３５．０９９１）是单纯ＣＢｓ组的４．５７倍；而ＰＢｓ加ＧＭＣ－ＳＦ组（ｘ±ｓ为９７．１２５±２６．７５５９）是单纯ＰＢｓ组的８．３８倍。有白细胞介素－６（ＩＬ－６）存在的ＣＢｓ组，ＣＦＵ－ＧＭ（ｘ±ｓ为３１．９３３３±１０．９１４４）明显的高于单纯ＣＢｓ组（Ｐ＜０．０２）。提示ＣＢｓ中含有较高水平的内源性ＧＭ－ＣＳＦ。     

gp49B1 suppresses stem cell factor-induced mast cell activation-secretion and attendant inflammation in vivo

We report that gp49B1, a mast cell membrane receptor with two immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIM), constitutively inhibits mast cell activation-secretion induced by stem cell factor (SCF), a tissue-derived cytokine that also regulates mast cell development. The intradermal injection of SCF into the ears of gp49B1 null (gp49B(-/-)) mice elicited approximately 4- and 2.5-fold more degranulating mast cells and tissue swelling caused by edema, respectively, than in gp49B(+/+) mice. SCF did not induce tissue swelling in mast cell-deficient mice, and the responsiveness of gp49B(-/-) mice to mast cell-associated amine and lipid mediators was unaltered. When gp49B(+/+) and gp49B(-/-) mice were pretreated with antagonists of the amines, SCF-induced tissue swelling was reduced by >90% and 60%, respectively, and it was reduced by >90% in both genotypes when a cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist was also provided. Hence, the dominant contribution of secretory granule amines to SCF-induced tissue swelling is the result of gp49B1-mediated inhibition of the production of cysteinyl leukotrienes by mast cells. Our findings also provide the first example of an ITIM-bearing receptor that constitutively suppresses inflammation generated in vivo independently of the adaptive immune response by a receptor that signals through intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity rather than immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs.
