Chronic eosinophilic leukemia with unique chromosomal abnormality, t(5;12) (q33;q22)
Authors: Kimikazu Yakushijin, Tohru Murayama, Ishikazu Mizuno, Akiko Sada, Tamio Koizumi, Shion Imoto
Journal: American Journal of Hematology (2001)

A patient is described who developed a peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) after a 6-year history of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). The progression of the T-cell disease spreading to pleura and skin terminated the course of the disease. A cytogenetic analysis performed six years after the first onset of the B-CLL showed the presence of two clones, one with trisomy 12 and another with inv(14)(q11q32.1) and trisomy 8. Combined immunophenotyping and fluorescence in situ hybridization demonstrated that only CD19+ cells contained a trisomy 12, whereas CD3+ cells contained a trisomy 8. Analyses of IgH and TCR rearrangements in single micromanipulated B- and T-cells lacked evidence for a clonal relation between B-CLL and PTCL cells. Based on our findings, we discuss the different hypotheses which might explain the development of simultaneous PTCL and B-CLL. Am. J. Hematol. 68:276–279, 2001. © 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

ANSWER
Journal: Thorax (2008)

From the question on page 12.Our initial diagnostic hypothesis was pulmonary alveolar phospholipoproteinosis in view of the ''crazy paving'' appearance on the CT scan.Bronchoalveolar lavage was performed and the fluid recovered had a total cell count of 700610 3 /ml (89% macrophages, 3% neutrophils, 1% eosinophils).There were no germs, tumour cells or alveolar bleeding.The periodic acid/ Schiff test was negative.Polarised light microscopy revealed birefringent particles, consistent with crystalline silica, within the macrophages (fig 1A).The patient stopped smoking cannabis and reported feeling well while continuing his chronic treatment for a manic-depressive disorder and with no need for corticosteroids.A check-up 1 month later gave normal clinical and CT results.The diagnosis of adulterated cannabis-induced lung disease is essentially based on: (1) the temporal association between exposure to a new adulterated illicit drug and development of the clinical and radiological patterns and (2) meticulous exclusion of all other possible causes including drug-induced pneumonitis and infectious disease.

外阴佩吉特病的相关恶性肿瘤
Authors: M. van der Linden, M.S. Schuurman, J. Bulten, L.F.A.G. Massuger, J. IntHout, M.A. van der Aa, J.A. de Hullu

外阴佩吉特病(VPD)是一种罕见的皮肤疾病,常见于绝经后的白人女性,它会引起外阴周围的皮肤瘙痒或灼烧。这种疾病有不同的类型,并且在过去,所有类型的 VPD 都与乳腺、肠道和泌尿系统的恶性肿瘤(如癌症)有关。这项来自荷兰的研究着眼于皮肤非侵入性 VPD, 其中在诊断时它只影响皮肤。研究人员想知道,与一般人群(没有 VPD 的人)相比,这种类型的 VPD 是否确实增加了患乳腺癌、肠道或泌尿系统恶性肿瘤的风险,并且评估是否所有 VPD 患者都应该进行常规的恶性肿瘤筛查。从荷兰的全国病理报告档案中获得了 2000 年至 2015 年期间任何类型 VPD 患者的肿瘤学(癌症)历史数据。从荷兰癌症登记处获得了随访数据和来自普通人群的对照组。在 VPD 患者中, 76.9% 诊断为皮肤非侵入性 VPD。研究人员发现,虽然其他类型的 VPD 可能与恶性肿瘤有关,但皮肤非侵入性 VPD 组患乳腺、肠道或泌尿道恶性肿瘤的风险并未增加。这表明,在诊断为皮肤非侵入性 VPD 的患者中,对这些恶性肿瘤的常规筛查可能没有必要。

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> Your publication of Dobbs' article and the accompanying EDITORIAL did, as you predicted, raise some eyebrows. As Director of the Narcotics Treatment Administration (NTA) and as one of the people intimately involved in its creation in February 1970,I can hardly claim to be unbiased. I am also acutely aware that research into all forms of narcotics treatment is urgently needed and must be encouraged. NTA has itself made a major commitment to research and has published and submitted for publication more than a dozen studies on the subjects of narcotics addiction and its treatment.<sup>1-4</sup>Many of these studies were available to Dobbs although he did not use them or the professional NTA research staff. Even though research is urgently needed, it is extremely important in this controversial field where so much new is going on that published research be accurate and that conclusions drawn be based

LiverPortal Hypertension Bleeding varices. These constitute one of the gravest problems associated with portal hypertension. Although several methods of therapy have been evolved, mortality continues to be high, chiefly because of diminished hepatic reserve.Linton and Ellis64 reported the use of an emergency transpleural transesophageal suture of bleeding varices. At that time this operation had been used at the Massachusetts General Hospital in 20 patients with an intrahepatic block. Two deaths were directly attributable to the procedure, and in 15 it was possible to construct a splenorenal or portacaval shunt at a later date. The authors believe that this . . .

Can Microwave Radiation at High Temperatures Reduce the Toxicity of Fibrous Crocidolite Asbestos?
Authors: Mairam Gulumian, Zolani L. Nkosibomvu, Kalavati Channa, Herman Pollak
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1997)

Exposure of animals and humans to crocidolite asbestos fibers produces fibrosis and two types of cancers: bronchogenic carcinoma and mesothelioma.It is therefore desirable to reduce toxicity of these fibers without affecting their other characteristics.In this study, commercial crocidolite asbestos fibers were radiated with microwave radiation at different temperatures.Radiated fibers and nonradiated original fibers were then studied by Mossbauer spectroscopy to quantify the amount of ferric and ferrous ions present at structurally different sites in each crocidolite sample.They were also studied for their ability to initiate the peroxidation of linoleic acid to assess the effect of radiation on this process.Results showed that microwave radiation reduced the total Fe2+/Fe3+ ratio.This reduction produced a concomitant decrease in the ability of the radiated samples to peroxidize linoleic acid.
