To analyze the association of several types of malignant lymphomas in different anatomical sites with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection status, 127 cases of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples of malignant lymphomas were investigated with in situ hybridization detecting EBV-encoded small RNA (EBER) in tumor cells. Forty-six out of 108 non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) cases were positive for EBER (42.6%). The EBER-positivity rate of NHL in the nasal cavity and nasopharynx (35/60 cases, 58.3%) was higher than that of NHL in stomach (9/30 cases, 30%) and in the superficial lymph nodes (2/18 cases, 11.1%) (P<0.05). The EBER-positivity rate of Hodgkin lymphoma in the superficial lymph nodes was 26.3% (5/19 cases). These findings suggest that the EBV-positivity rate in lymphomas is related to their histological types and locations.
为分析不同解剖部位的几种恶性淋巴瘤与 Epstein-Barr 病毒(EBV)感染状态的关联,我们采用原位杂交法检测肿瘤细胞中的 EBV 编码的小 RNA(EBER),对 127 例福尔马林固定石蜡包埋的恶性淋巴瘤样本进行了研究。在 108 例非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)病例中,有 46 例 EBER 阳性(42.6%)。鼻腔和鼻咽部 NHL 的 EBER 阳性率(35/60 例,58.3%)高于胃 NHL(9/30 例,30%)和浅表淋巴结 NHL(2/18 例,11.1%)(P<0.05)。浅表淋巴结霍奇金淋巴瘤的 EBER 阳性率为 26.3%(5/19 例)。这些发现表明,淋巴瘤中的 EBV 阳性率与其组织学类型和部位有关。
