We describe a patient with primary myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) evolving into acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) who had two cytogenetically unrelated abnormal clones. A 68-year-old man presented with refractory anemia with excess of blasts (RAEB) and developed overt ANLL. Two cytogenetically independent clones, one with 5q- and the other with 20q-, were observed when the patient developed ANLL. The clones carrying both 5q- and 20q- were not detected. Leukemic blast cells were positive for peroxidase, naphtol ASD chloroacetate esterase, CD13, CD33, CD34 and HLA-DR, but negative for alpha-naphthyl butyrate esterase, CD14, CD10, CD19, CD20, CD1, CD2, CD3, CD5 and CD7. Although there have been a few reports describing the presence of multiple cytogenetically unrelated clones in one patient with MDS, this is the first case report that the 5q- and 20q- anomalies are derived from independent clones.

Leu-enkephalin radiolabelled at the N-terminal tyrosine by two different methods was presented to isolated perfused rat livers. Approximately 10% of a pulse of tritiated Leu-enkephalin was taken up first-pass; this was increased to 62% when the peptide was iodinated with Bolton and Hunter reagent. Uptake of both forms of radiolabelled Leu-enkephalin was inhibited by taurocholate in a concentration-dependent manner. The proportion of internalised radioactivity secreted into bile also differed but in both cases showed a very rapid time-course similar to that of [24-(14)C]taurocholate and suggestive of non-endocytic transfer via membrane transport proteins. Pre-perfusion with the aminopeptidase inhibitor bestatin increased uptake of 3H-labelled Leu-enkephalin from 10% to 23%; no further increase occurred when the endopeptidase 24.11 inhibitor thiorphan was also present. On infusion of the native peptide into rat livers, 80% of Leu-enkephalin immunoreactivity was lost between the pre- and post-hepatic perfusate; this was reduced to 65% in the presence of 10(-5) M bestatin. The almost total release of the N-terminal tyrosine from 3H-labelled Leu-enkephalin which escaped first-pass uptake confirmed that substantial sinusoidal metabolism had occurred. Low levels of aminopeptidase N were visualised in the sinusoidal membrane using a specific monoclonal antibody coupled to peroxidase staining. Thus, hepatic inactivation of Leu-enkephalin is primarily via hydrolysis mediated by cell surface peptidase (including aminopeptidases) whilst uptake of the intact peptide, probably by a bile salt transport protein, is quantitatively minor unless the N-terminus is blocked by Bolton and Hunter reagent or peptidase inhibitors are present.

We present the case of a child with acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) who was morphologically classified as FAB L1 (PAS and peroxidase were negative). Remission was achieved with an ALL-type protocol (GBTLI). Five months after the discontinuation of therapy, the patient presented mixed leukemia (CD10, CD19, CD13 and CD33 were positive) with t (9;11) (p21;q23) translocation. Unfortunately, as cytogenetic and immunophenotype studies were not performed at diagnosis, two possibilities could be considered for the relapse; secondary mixed leukemia with clonal chromosome changes, or mixed leukemia from the beginning.

A 48-year-old patient was admitted to our hospital for leukocytosis. The blast cells were positive for peroxidase and he was tentatively diagnosed as acute myeloid leukemia according to the French-American-British criteria. By flow cytometry, the bone marrow cells were positive for CD10, CD13, CD33 and HLA-DR, but two-color analysis revealed that most of the CD13- and CD33-positive cells did not express CD10. The marrow cells had Philadelphia chromosome with no additional abnormalities. Major bcr-abl fusion gene was observed by the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction method. Southern blot analysis disclosed rearrangement of both immunoglobulin heavy chain and T-cell receptor beta chain genes. He received combined chemotherapy for myeloid lineage and lymphoid lineage, but the response was quite poor. He died 64 days after admission due to pulmonary bleeding. Although the association of Ph1 with multilineage differentiation is unclear, our case has significant implication for further investigation of the relationship between Ph1-positive cells and lineage selection.

The aim of this study was to establish how effective is the use of immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed bone marrow in diagnosing low-grade B-cell neoplasms. We investigated a series of 41 consecutive patients with bone marrow involvement for whom no other diagnostic tissues were available. The sections were stained with the following antibodies: CD3, CD20, CD79a, CD5, CD10, CD23, anti-cyclin D1 and kappa and lambda light chains. Antigen retrieval was performed using either a microwave oven or a pressure cooker. Labelling was performed with an avidin-biotin-peroxidase labelling system. A final diagnosis was reached in 37 out of 41 cases (90%): B-chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (15 cases), follicular lymphoma (10 cases), mantle-cell lymphoma (eight cases) and lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma/immunocytoma (four cases). In the remaining four cases, a generic diagnosis of low-grade B-cell neoplasm was made. The immunophenotyping of formalin-fixed marrow is a useful technique for diagnosing most of the low-grade B-cell neoplasms.

A 54-year-old female, who had been treated for 4 years in the chronic phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) was admitted for management of a CML blastic crisis. Blast cells showed strong positive expression of CD7 and HLA-DR, and weakly expressed CD2, CD5 and CD10, as well. The cells were peroxidase negative in peripheral blood and bone marrow. An undifferentiated blastic crisis was diagnosed and she was treated with Interferon-alpha and VP(vincristine 2 mg/week; prednisolone 30 mg/day). A 5-7 mm in diameter tumor in the skin of the anterior right chest appeared one week after VP therapy. The tumor consisted of blasts which were CD13, CD33 and peroxidase positive, unlike the peripheral undifferentiated blasts. This is a rare case of mixed blast crisis with an increase in undifferentiated blasts in peripheral blood and bone marrow, and myeloblastic tumor formation in the skin.

Helicobacter pylori infection induces the expression of a secretory component (SC) in gastric epithelial cells. We investigated the cell lineage of the SC- and immunoglobulin (Ig) A-expressing epithelial cells in H. pylori-infected gastric mucosa. Materials were obtained by means of gastric biopsy from H. pylori-infected patients (24 cases) before and after the eradication of H. pylori, from five normal uninfected volunteers, and from three gastrectomy cases. Acetic acid-ethanol-fixed and paraffin-embedded specimens were examined using histochemical staining for gastric mucins (periodic acid oxidation-thionine Schiff reaction-concanavalin A-horse radish peroxidase staining) by means of immunostaining for gastric mucins (45M1 and HIK1083), intestinal cells (MUC2 and CD10), Ki67, H. pylori, SC, and IgA. The SC and IgA were not found in normal gastric mucosa. The expressions of the SC and IgA in gastric surface mucous cells and mucous neck cells in the generating zone of the gastric mucosa of H. pylori-infected patients were significantly higher before eradication of H. pylori than after the eradication. These mucous cells have the potential for SC-mediated translocation of IgA into the gastric lumen, and this may act as part of the antibacterial defense system against H. pylori infection in the gastric generating zone.

A 20 year-old male patient was admitted to our department for the treatment of recurrence of fever and pancytopenia developed despite of temporal remission of hemophagocytosis syndrome that had been treated with large doses of methylprednisolone in our hospital. Superficial lymph nodes were not palpable. CT scan and echography revealed neither findings of splenohepatomegalia or enlargement of intraabdominal lymph nodes. Bone marrow aspiration showed an increase of histiocytes, the cells phagocytizing erythrocytes and platelets, and a negative test for peroxidase stain. Analysis of surface antigens showed that 11.3% of cells were blast cells positive for CD10, CD19, CD20, CD34 and TdT. Bone marrow biopsy revealed a localized increase in tumor cells positive for L26, CD10 and negative for UCHL-1. Because of the absence of detectable tumor masses and the difficulty in differentiating between malignant lymphoma and lymphatic leukemia, we diagnosed the condition as B precursor lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. If diagnosed with malignant lymphoma preceded by hemophagocytic syndrome(LAHS), he might have a rare type of LAHS-associated malignant lymphoma since histological examination did not reveal diffuse large cell lymphoma, a condition found in most patients with LAHS-associated malignant lymphoma. Whereas if diagnosed as ALL, he was the first adult patient with ALL with HPS at onset as far as we know. In any of these possibilities, the case was considered rare.

A 52-year-old man was admitted for treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The bone marrow was hypercellular with 67.2% blasts, which were negative for peroxidase, and expressed CD13, CD33, CD34, CD10 and CD7. Cytogenetic and molecular studies revealed t(9;22) and -7(Ph/-7) with major BCR/ABL rearrangement. The patient was treated with the L-AdVP regimen, but failed to achieve complete remission (CR). He then received two courses of chemotherapy consisting of intermediate- and high-dose cytarabine (ara-C), resulting in CR. This case suggests that Ph/-7 ALL with major BCR/ABL gene rearrangement showing coexpression of myeloid antigens may be sensitive to intermediate- and high-dose ara-C.

An 18-month-old girl was referred to our hospital because of fever and pancytopenia. On admission, her bone marrow nuclear cell count was 45,000/microliter, being mostly blasts with cleaved nuclei. The leukemic cells were negative for peroxidase staining, expressed CD10, CD19, CD34 and sIg mu, and did not express sIg kappa and lambda, corresponding to a minor subpopulation of B cells known as transitional pre-B-cells (TPBs). Since TPB-ALL has been reported only infrequently, the incidence and clinical picture of this rare type of ALL are still uncertain. Extensive immunophenotypic studies to determine the expression of sIg mu, sIg kappa and lambda will provide accurate diagnosis, which is essential for effective management of this condition.
