Gallium scintigraphy in patients with adult T-cell leukemia lymphoma

Gallium scintigraphy was evaluated in 25 patients with adult T-cell leukemia lymphoma (ATLL). Anterior and posterior images were obtained at 72 h after administration of 3 mCi ⁶⁷Ga-citrate using a gamma camera (Maxi-Camera 400T, General Electric Co.) with a medium energy standard parallel hole collimator. Abnormally high accumulations were observed in 17 out of 25 cases (superficial lymph node, 8; hilar and mediastinal lymph node, 7; paraaortic lymph node, 2; lung, 9; liver, 1; bone, 1). There were 10 malignant lesions detected by ⁶⁷Ga scintigraphy in 9 out of 17 cases (superficial lymph node, 1; hilar and mediastinal lymph node, 6; paraaortic lymph node, 1; liver, 1; bone, 1). White blood cell count and serum LDH levels were raised in patients with abnormally high accumulations of ⁶⁷Ga. In conclusion, ⁶⁷Ga scintigraphy seemed to be a useful examination to detect malignant lesions in patients with ATLL.     

急非淋白血病完全缓解后巩固治疗的对照研究

目的探讨急非淋白血病完全缓解后巩固治疗与缓解期的关系。方法对３０例坚持与未坚持完全缓解后巩固化疗的急非淋患者（每组１５例）进行对照研究。比较两组患者的完全缓解期。结果两组患者入院时情况、治疗及达完全缓解时间经统计学处理无明显差异（Ｐ＞０．０５）；而坚持巩固化疗组平均持续完全缓解期（１９．８ｍｏ）明显长于对照组（８．４ｍｏ），统计学具有显著差异（Ｐ＜０．０１）。结论急非淋白血病达完全缓解后，坚持骨髓抑制性治疗对延长完全缓解期以达长期生存目的具有重要意义。     

An unusual case of chronic myelocytic leukemia characterized by a conspicuous tissue infiltration treated with leukapheresis

Summary An unusual case of chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) is described that presented leukocytosis at onset (720×10⁹/l), symptoms of stasis, organomegaly, and a conspicuous infiltration of leukemic cells from the pelvis to the right popliteal cavity. As initial therapy and in addition to chemotherapy, six therapeutic leukapheresis treatments (TL) were performed and the patient showed dramatic symptomatic improvement with reduction in leukocytosis (97×10⁹/l), organomegaly, and tissue infiltration.     

Analysis of mast cell subpopulations (MCT, MCTC) in cutaneous inflammation using novel enzyme-histochemical staining techniques

Abstract In order to gain insights into the dynamics of mast cell subpopulations in normal and diseased skin, a novel enzyme-histochemical double and triple staining method was employed that allowed the detection of metachromasia (toluidine blue) and the mast cell proteases tryp-tase and chymase within the same cell. Cryostat sections were used of skin biopsies from the following specimens: normal skin (N=4), psoriasis (N=13), atopic eczema (N=7), lichen planus (N=6), interferon α2a injection sites (N=l) of a leukemic infiltrate and corresponding normal skin of the same patient before and after treatment. (i) Equal numbers of tryptase-and chymase-positive mast cells (MCTC) were obtained in all normal and diseased specimens in papillary and reticular dermis, with threefold increases around appendages, (ii) Tryptase-positive mast cells (MCT) were absent in normal skin, but were markedly increased in a disease-specific pattern within the papillary dermis, the inflammatory infiltrate and around appendages, (iii) Marked increases of MCT were also noted at interferon injection sites within the leukemic infiltrate, but not in the normal skin of the same patient. These data suggest that disease-dependent mast cell dynamics involve only MCT in cutaneous inflammation and that MCT numbers are controlled by distinct, disease-specific local tissue factors.     

急性白血病男性病人联合化疗后的生育能力和性腺功能

我们测定了７例男性急性白血病（ＡＬ）患者经联合化疗完全缓解（ＣＲ）早期和持续缓解（ＣＣＲ）６月后两个不同阶段的血清ＦＳＨ、ＬＨ、Ｔ和精液参数的变化，以观察ＡＬ患者的性腺功能和生育能力。结果在诱导ＣＲ早期ＦＳＨ明显升高，精液质量明显降低。ＣＣＲ６月后恢复正常。ＬＨ及Ｔ则在两个不同阶段均无明显变化。     

小儿急性淋巴细胞白血病的染色体观察

对９例急性淋巴细胞白血病患儿诊断时染色体的分析，染色体数目异常检出率为６／９，观察核型与临床的关系，发现染色体数目异常可视为预后差的标志。认为染色体分析对小儿ＡＬＬ的疗效监测及预后评估的价值，可作为ＡＬＬ的常规检查项目。     

Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus-1-positive Cell Line Established from a Patient with Small Cell Lung Cancer

A stable cell line, KHM-3S, was established from a patient with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), who had a high serum level of soluble interleukin 2 receptors (sIL2-R) and was seropositive for human T cell leukemia virus (HTLV)-l. KHM-3S cells were positive for IL2-R (Tac) and NKH-1, but negative for other lymphocytic markers such as OKT 11, OKT 4, OKT 8, T cell receptor (WT 31), B 1, and B 4. Moreover, the KHM-3S cells were negative for leukocyte common antigen and strongly positive for neuron-specific enolase (NSE). Secretion of sIL2-R and NSE by the KHM-3S line was detected by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Rearrangement of the T cell receptor gene and monoclonal HTLV-1 integration were found by Southern blot analysis of KHM-3S DNA. However, Northern blot analysis showed no T cell receptor mRNA. KHM-3S may be useful for studies on the role of HTLV-1 in carcinogenesis and IL2-R expression in SCLC.
