Therapeutic and prognostic value of modal number of chromosomes at the blastic phase of Philadelphia-chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia: comparison based on the same criteria between Nagasaki University and Roswell Park Memorial Institute.

In a comparison of 47 patients with Philadelphia-chromosome (Ph)-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in the Nagasaki University School of Medicine and 64 patients with the same disease in the Roswell Park Memorial Institute, the correlation between the modal number of chromosomes and the therapeutic response and/or survival after the onset of the blastic phase (BP) was evaluated. The patients were divided into four groups on the basis of the modal number of chromosomes of the cells in the bone marrow: those with hypodiploidy (group 1), those with pseudodiploidy carrying a Ph chromosome (group 2), those with 47 chromosomes (group 3), and those with 48 or more chromosomes (group 4). The results revealed similar trends in the two institutes. Namely, the therapeutic response and the survival after the onset of the BP in groups 1 and 4 were more unfavorable and shorter than those in groups 2 and 3, although the former (group 2) had a better prognosis than the latter (group 3). Thus, the statistical analysis revealed that the numerical chromosome findings at the BP are useful parameters for assessing the therapeutic response and survival after the onset of the BP of CML.

[Primary bilateral adrenal lymphomas in 3 cases].

This report describes three of primary bilateral adrenal lymphoma. Case 1 was an 87-year-old female. She was admitted to our hospital because of anemia. Masses in the bilateral adrenal glands were noted on abdominal computed tomography (CT). After combination chemotherapy, bilateral adrenal masses transiently showed a remarkable reduction, but they soon enlarged and she died. The pathological diagnosis at autopsy was non-Hodgkin lymphoma (diffuse medium sized cell type). Case 2 was a 77-year-old male. He visited our hospital complaining of general malaise. Masses in the bilateral adrenal glands were noted on abdominal CT and he was admitted. The left adrenal was biopsied under echo guidance. The pathological diagnosis was non-Hodgkin lymphoma (diffuse medium sized cell type). The bilateral adrenal masses transiently responded to combination chemotherapy, but soon enlarged again and he died. Case 3 was a 75-year-old male. He visited our hospital complaining of general malaise. Masses in the bilateral adrenal glands was noted on abdominal CT and he was admitted. The left adrenal was biopsied under echo guidance. The pathological diagnosis was non-Hodgkin lymphoma (diffuse medium sized cell type). Combination chemotherapy was followed by a complete remission and discharge of the patient.

[Basic examination of deoxythymidine kinase using Prolifigen TK kit "Daiichi"].

To clarify the clinical significance of serum deoxythymidine kinase in various hematological disorders, basic examination was performed of a newly developed radioenzyme assay kit for TK (Prolifigen TK kit "Daiichi") using 125I-iodo-deoxyuridine as a substrate. The assessment of the standard curve, and the results of recovery test, dilution test, and precision and reproducibility were satisfactory. Among several anticoagulant agents tested, heparin was the best one showing no influence on the measurement of TK level. Based on these results, serum TK level was measured in 140 healthy adults as a control group. There was no difference by age and sex. The serum TK level of normal control was 3.1 +/- 1.2 U/l, with an upper limit of 5.5 U/l.

Diaper area granuloma of the aged.

Nine women, aged 77 to 89 years, suffered from diaper dermatitis, and many granulomas were seen in the genital or gluteal region restricted to the lesion of dermatitis. Because these granulomas resembled granuloma gluteale infantum of Tappeiner and Pfleger, we propose to call this condition diaper area granuloma of the aged.
