RESUMO
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with T lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) is a hematologic tumor of two origins, myeloid and lymphoblastic, and is relatively rare in the same patient. We report a rare case of AML with T-LBL. After the patient was diagnosed, he received standard chemotherapy, which decreased the primitive bone marrow cell percentage from 84% to 5%; however, the enlarged superficial lymph nodes showed no obvious change in size. Immunohistochemistry revealed the following: cluster of differentiation (CD)3 (+), CD5 (+), CD7 (+), transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) (+), myeloperoxidase (MPO) (-), and lysozyme (Lys) (-). The lymph node morphology and immunohistochemical results indicated T-LBL. Therefore, the final diagnosis was AML with T-LBL, with both diseases occurring independently and concurrently.

OBJECTIVE: To study the high risk factors for the transformation into acute myeloid leukemia(AML) in patients with intermediate and high risk myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS) treated by decitabine-based regimen. METHODS: The clinical characterstics of 60 intermediate and high risk MDS patients and the factors of its transformed into AML were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: The overall response rate(ORR) of the patients suffered from intermediate and high risk MDS treated by decitabine-based regimen was 65.0ï¼ (39/60), among the 60 cases 17 achieved complete remission(CR), 5 achieved morrow complete remission(mCR), 4 achieved partial remission(PR) and 13 achieved hematologic improvement(HI). Twenty-one cases(35.0%) were transformed into AML among 60 cases of intermediate and high risk MDS treated by decitabine-based regimen. The median time of transformation from intermediate and high risk MDS into AML was 10.0 months(1.6-32.0). χ2 or Fisher's exact test showed that 2016 WHO MDS diagnostic subgrouping, myeloid hyperplasia markedly active, delayed interval of decitabine-based treatment associated with the transformation from intermediate to high risk MDS into AML (χ2=9.878ï¼P=0.031ï¼χ2=4.319ï¼P=0.038ï¼χ2=6î406ï¼P=0.011); Univariate analysis of Kaplan-Meier test showed that 2016 WHO MDS diagnostic subgroups, bone marrow blast cell ratio, bone marrow dysplasia coefficients, prolonged interval of decitabine-based treatment associated with the transformation from intermediate and high risk MDS into AML (P=0.015ï¼P=0.008ï¼P=0.012ï¼P=0.032); multivariate analysis showed the bone marrow blast cell ratio and the bone marrow dysplasia coefficients were independent risk factors for the transformation from intermediate to high risk MDS into AML (P=0.022ï¼P=0.018). CONCLUSION: The bone marrow blast cell ratio and the bone marrow dysplasia coefficients are independent risk factors of transformation into AML in the patients with intermediate and high risk MDS treated by decitabine-based regimen. The regular interval of dicitabine treatment is beneficial to maintain the stability of patients conditions.

Effects of cerium ion (Ce(III)) on water relations of soybean seedlings (Glycine max L.) under ultraviolet B radiation (UV-B, 280-320 nm) stress were investigated under laboratory conditions. UV-B radiation not only affected the contents of two osmolytes (proline, soluble sugar) in soybean seedlings, but also inhibited the transpiration in soybean seedlings by decreasing the stomatal density and conductance. The two effects caused the inhibition in the osmotic and metabolic absorption of water, which decreased the water content and the free water/bound water ratio. Obviously, UV-B radiation led to water stress, causing the decrease in the photosynthesis in soybean seedlings. The pretreatment with 20 mg L(-1) Ce(III) could alleviate UV-B-induced water stress by regulating the osmotic and metabolic absorption of water in soybean seedlings. The alleviated effect caused the increase in the photosynthesis and the growth of soybean seedlings. It is one of the protective effect mechanisms of Ce(III) against the UV-B radiation-induced damage to plants.
