Objective To explore the minimal residual disease (MRD) and cellular chimerism in patients with hematopoietic malignancies after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods From May 2001 to June 2005,83 patients received allo-HSCT,including 55 males and 28 females. Of them 49 patients received sibling HLA-matched bone marrow transplantation (BMT),3 HLA-matched peripheral blood stem cell transplantation,8 un-related BMT,9 nonmyeloablative stem cell transplantation (NST) and 14 related haploidentical transplantation. Among them,49 patients were diagnosed as having CML,16 having AML,16 having ALL,one having multiple myeloma and one having malignant lymphoma. Chimerism and MRD were monitored by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using X and Y specific centromeric probes or gene probes for BCR/ABL,MLL and AML1/ETO. 1000 cells were analyzed for each sample.Results Among 19 patients receiving sex-matched transplant,the former chromosome rearrangements were not found in 16 patients after transplantation,MRD was detected in 10 % of cells in one patient and 1 % of cells having MRD in 4th month after the reduction of immunotherapy,and the patients were still in remission one year after transplantation. Two patients were found having the former chromosomal rearrangement 1 and 4 months after transplantation,respectively,who did not achieve remission after chemotherapy. Over 99 % donor chimerisms were found in 50 patients on day 25,donor cells were at a low level ( 96.2 % ~ 98.7 % ) in 7 patients on day 25,and increased over 99 % later. They were in remission without relapse. The donor chimerisms were decreased gradually in other 7 patients,of them 3 patients with the host cells above 10 % showed hematologic relapse. Four patients with the host cells between 2 %~5 % had different outcomes: 2 patients died of severe GVHD after the reduction of cyclosporine A,one patient got a donor chimerism over 99 % after reduction of immunotherapy,and one patient was still in complete remission.Conclusions FISH could play a pivotal role in the detection of MRD and chimerism. It is helpful to the evaluation of graft and relapse and to the guide of intervention of early immunotherapy.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and the efficient therapy of acute promyelocytic leukemia(APL)with high initial white blood cell(WBC)count.Methods The clinical features of 66 newly diagnosed APL patients with high initial WBC and 152 patients without high initial WBC from the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between October 1993 and August 2006 were retrospectively analyzed.Additionally,66 patients with high WBC were divided into different groups according to the different induction therapy and the therapeutic effects were compared.Results The early death rate and the incidence of disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC)and retinoic acid syndrome(RAS)were 30.3%,57.6% and 31.8% respectively for the group with high initial WBC,which were higher than the indexes of 7.2%,38.1% and 21.05% respectively for the group without high initial WBC(P

OBJECTIVE To establish a rapid detecting method for Clostridium perfringens on traumatic tissues by type-specific multiplex PCR.METHODS Established a simple and rapid method(TLS method) for purifying the DNA of genomes and plasmids in standard strains of C.perfringens wild strains on surface of open traumatic tissues and detected DNAs by type-specific multiplex PCR.RESULTS All types of C.perfringens could be detected by type-specific multiplex PCR.The sensitivity by PCR for type A of C.perfringens arrived at 7.5?103/ml and a whole run could finish within 5 h;the results by PCR entirely corresponded with those by cultureing.CONCLUSIONS New methods for purifying DNA of genomes and plasmids of C.perfringens are simple and rapid;there are high specificity and sensitivity for detecting DNA by multiplex PCR within short time,which can be practiced in clinical laboratory.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of homocysteine(Hcy) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in patients with diabetic retinopathy.Methods From March 2013 to February 2015,a total of 168 patients with diabetes from Beijing Jishuitern Hospital were divided into diabetic retinopathy group (76 cases,32 male,44 female,average age 62.97 ± 12.46) and non-diabetic retinopathy group (92 cases,46male,46 female,average age 58.14 ± 13.71),and 65 cases of healthy subjects (46male,46 female,average age 60.24 ± 10.85) were enrolled as normal control group as well.Hcy and HbA1c were detected in all groups.Multiple independent samples nonparametric tests were used to compare the difference between groups.The concentrations of Hcy and HbA1c between DR group and NDR group were analysised by ROC curve analysis.Result The Hcy levels in normal control group,NDR group and DR group were 7.00 (4.55-10.50) μmol/L,12.45 (10.30-15.10) μmol/L,20.10 (16.63-25.68) μmol/L respectively.The HbA1c levels in normal control group,NDR group and DR group were 5.30 (5.00-5.70) ％,6.80 (5.83-8.03) ％,7.25 (6.50-8.60) ％ respectively.There was no significant difference in Hay and HbA1c levels between groups (P ＜ 0.01);Compared with non-diabetic retinopathy group,levels of Hcy,HbA1c in diabetic retinopathy group were obviously higher;The optimal diagnostic cut-off values of Hcy was 14.35 μmol/L,at this cut-off value,the sensitivity was 96.05％,specificity was 68.48％;The optimal diagnostic cut-off values of HbA1c was 6.05％,at this cut-off value,the sensitivity was 98.68％,specificity was31.25％.Conclusion Patients with Diabetic retinopathy might have hyperhomocystinemia,and detection of Hcy may contribute to the early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy.

Objective To explore the comparative advantage of Team based learning (TBL) in common diseases teaching among pre-selected trainees for medical non-commissioned officer. Methods 200 trainees were randomly divided into two groups of equal size (each having 100 trainees), one TBL group and another lecture based learning (LBL) group as the control group. The teaching content was both Chapters of High Altitude Illness and Hypertension. In the LBL control group, the traditional lec-ture based teaching and learning manner was followed. In contrast, the trainees in the TBL group were assigned pre-lecture self-learning outline and questions to discuss in advance, team-based group dis-cussion was conducted, and scene simulation with typical disease case analysis were adopted in class. In both groups, the teaching effectiveness were evaluated by both exam test and questionnaire manner. Results It turned out the team based learning model resulted in significantly improved overall trainee assessment scores (88.90 ± 5.28 vs. 76.10 ± 5.12, P<0.05) and higher overall teacher satisfaction scores (8.63 ± 0.85 vs 7.18 ± 0.72, P<0.05), compared to the LBL group. Conclusion TBL model is more effective in improving trainees' capabilities of cultivating team work spirit, self-confidence, learn-ing enthusiasm, problem analysis and knowledge application. TBL model significantly brings more advantage in teaching pre-selected trainees for medical non-commissioned officer.

Objective To study the effectiveness of the laboratory diagnosis of multiple myeloma(MM)patients with immun-ofixtion electrophoresis (IFE),protein electrophoresis (SPE)and immunoglobulins and light chain quantitative analysis. Methods Selected 192 MM patients and 30 healthy controls during June 2012 to December 2013 and analyzed the results of IFE,SPE and immunoglobulins,and light chain quantitative analysis in MM patients.Results M protein bands were seen in 120 cases (62.5%)by using SPE and M protein were positive in 174 cases (90.6%)among the 192 MM patients by using IFE.IFE showed that IgG were maximum type of the M protein (106 of 192,55.2%).There were IgG-λ type 66 cases (34.4%),IgA type 36 cases (18.8%)and free light chain type 24 cases (12.5%).Immunoglobulins of different immuno-phenotypes had higher than the nomal group with serum immunoglobulin and light chain quantitative analysis (P <0.05). The detection rate was 67.7% (130/192).Whateverκ-type M protein orλ-type M protein,the ratio ofκ/λwas significantly abnormal (P <0.05).The detection rate was 85.4% (164/192).Conclusion The better detection rate of immunological techniques such as immunofixtion electrophoresis and immunoglobulins quantitative analysis might provide valuable basis for the diagnosis and treatment of MM clinically and prevent misdiagnosis.

OBJECTIVE To explore the risk factors of gas gangrene after open trauma for its early diagnosis and precaution.METHODS The data of 42 patients with gas gangrene after open trauma from Aug 2003 to Aug 2008,were collected.The risk factors of gas gangrene after open trauma had been retrospectively analyzed from the cause of the injuries,the distribution of latent period,wound,systemic symptoms,laboratory examination and treatment.RESULTS Gas gangrene after injury was related with open wounds for various reasons.Latent period of gas gangrene was 24-72 h.Early risk factors of gas gangrene among them mainly included degloved or avulsed skin-injury(100%),musce trauma(100.00%),contaminated wound and retained foreign bodies(95.24%),weak pulse of peripheral artery(95.24%),nervous injury(90.48%),and lower temperature of skin aound the wound(83.33%).There were obviously systemic symptoms in infective stage but in early stage were not.CONCLUSIONS Gas gangrene is extremely rare in injury patients but it is life-threatening.So more attention should be paid to the risk factors in order to decrease the incidence of gas gangrene after trauma.Improving the prognosis of patients;the wounded locations should be effectively treated early so as to improve the prognosis.
