Objective To investigate the clinical significance of I-FISH for detection of genomic abnormalities in MM. Methods Twenty newly diagnosed MM patients(seven cases at stage Ⅰ , five cases at stage Ⅱ and eight cases at stage Ⅲ according to Bataille staging) were analyzed by combining the technique of CC (R-binding stain) and I-FISH [ including GLP13q14 (RBI gene), GLP17p13. 1 (P53 gene),GLP13q14. 3(D13S319) ,GLP1q21 ,GLP14q32(IgH gene) DNA sequence probes]. These two methods were compared for the detection rates of chromosomal and genomic abnormalities in MM and the association between genomic abnormalities and Bataille stages was also analyzed. Results CC examination showed only 1 case [5% (1/20) ] was found complex chromosomal abnormalities--46,XX,-2,del(3) (p21) ,add(6)(q26) ,der(10)(q26),der(14)(q32), + mar, inc[6]. While I-FISH assay showed that 12 cases [60%(12/20) ] were found genomic abnormalities. The frequencies of RB1, D13S319 and P53 were all 30%(6/20), and the frequencies of IgH gene and 1q21 were both 20% (4/20). The detection rate of the I-FISH was much higher than CC (χ2 = 9. 09, P = 0. 001) according to paired χ2 test. Of 20 patients,6 cases had RB1 gene abnormality, 1 case at stage Ⅰ , 2 cases at stage Ⅱ and 4 cases at stage Ⅲ. Of 20 patients, 6 cases had D13S319 gene abnormality, 2 cases at stage Ⅰ , 1 case at stage Ⅱ and 3 cases at stage Ⅲ. Of 20 patients, 6 cases in 20 had P53 gene abnormality, 2 cases at stage Ⅰ and 4 cases at stage Ⅲ. Of 20 patients, 4 cases had 1q21 gene abnormality, 2 cases at stage Ⅰ and 2 cases at stage Ⅲ. Of 20 patients, 4 cases had IGH gene abnormality, 1 case at stage Ⅰ and 3 cases at stage Ⅲ. Conclusion Ⅰ-FISH has higher detection rate for the genomic abnormalities in MM and can be used in detection of MM patients in different Bataille stages.

Objective To explore the characteristics of chromosome karyotypes in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML),and to provide help to individualized treatment.Methods The date of chromosome karyotypes of 313 patients and FISH of 45 of these patients with CML excluding Ph chromosome negative (Ph-) after treatment were collected from January 2014 to June 2015.Karyotypes were detected by R-banding.Results In the 313 cases,307 cases (98.08 ％) were Ph chromosome positive (Ph+) and 6 cases (1.92 ％) were Ph-.In the Ph+ patients,288 cases (93.81％) were classical Ph+,and 19 cases (6.19 ％) were variant rearrangements.There were 48 cases (15.34 ％) with additional chromosome changes in all patients,including 41 cases (13.10 ％) with classical Ph+ and 7 cases (2.24 ％) with variant rearrangements.The most common additional chromosome changes were in the following order:+der(22) Ph (35.42 ％),+8 (33.33 ％) and +21 (12.50 ％).The most frequent pattern of combination was +der(22) combined with +8 (16.67 ％),followed by +8 combined with +21 (10.42 ％).The proportion of pure Ph+ patients in chronic phase was higher than that of advanced phase,but proportion of classical Ph+ patients with additional chromosome changes in chronic phase was lower than that in advanced phase (x2 =1 11.55,P ＜ 0.01).The proportions of chronic phase and advanced phase patients with simple variant rearrangements were not different from those with complex variant rearrangements (P =0.582).The results of FISH in 45 cases were all positive,including 5 cases with 2 GIR1Y.Conclusion Karyotype analysis can reveal the instability of genetic and the characteristics of disease progression by identifying the evolution of Ph,which provides the basis for clinical doctors to choose suitable treatment.

Objective To investigate the chromosome karyotype of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and its correlation with the clinical feature and efficacy.Methods The chromosomes of bone marrow/peripheral blood from 110 cases of patients with ALL were prepared after 24 hours culture,and G-banding were used to analyze karyotypes.Results Among 110 patients with ALL,71 cases (64.5 ％) had clonal chromsomal normalities,39 cases (35.5 ％) had clonal chromsomal abnormalities,24 cases (21.8 ％) had chromosome structural abnormalities,11 cases (10.0 ％) had chromosome number abnormalities,3 cases (2.7 ％) had chromosome number and structure abnormalities,one case had chromosomal abnormalities complex karyotype.Efficacy in patients with ALL with t(9;22) (q34;q11) was worse than the other patients (Fisher s exact text,P =0.045).There was no significant difference on efficacy between in adult ALL associated with t(9;22) (q34;q11) and in children with ALL (Fisher's exact text,P =0.506).Conclusion Chromosome karyotype of ALL patients is random,chromosomal translocations such as t(9;22)(q34;q1 1) and t(4;11) (q21;q23) have poorer treatment outcomes.

Objective To evaluate the value of multislice spiral computed tomography angiography (MSCTA) in differential diagnosis between epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) and borderline epithelial ovarian tumor (BOT).Methods The MSCTA images of 39 EOC patients and 23 BOT patients confirmed by surgical pathology were reviewed retrospectively.Main characteristics of tumor vessels were analyzed: the number of feeding arteries, the existence of dilated draining veins, whether the tumor vessels were tortuous, whether the distribution of tumor vessels were disturbed, and whether there were accompanying microaneurysms or arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).Results Two or more feeding arteries of the EOCs and BOTs were 89.7% (35/39) and 8.7% (2/23), respectively.Dilated draining veins were observed in 87.2% (34/39) of the EOCs and 4.3% (1/23) of the BOTs.The tortuosity of tumor vessels was observed in 97.4% (38/39) of the EOCs and 13.0% (3/23) of the BOTs.79.5% (31/39) of the EOCs and 8.7% (2/23) of the BOTs were complicated by microaneurysms, and 74.4% (29/39) of the EOCs and 4.3% (1/23) of the BOTs were complicated by AVMs.The characteristics of tumor vessels were significantly different between the two groups (P<0.01), with relatively high sensitivity and specificity.Conclusion MSCTA can better show the distribution, number and pattern of tumor vessels and is of great value in differential diagnosis between EOC and BOT.

Objective: To construct a model for clinical identification of spotted fever (SF) and severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), so as to provide insights into early identification of SF and SFTS. Methods: The clinical data of laboratory-confirmed SF and SFTS patients in secondary and tertiary hospitals in Lu'an City, Anhui Province from May 2017 to May 2021 were retrieved from Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Factors affecting SF were identified using a logistic regression model, and the model for early identification of SF and SFTS was created. The model fitting effect was evaluated using Hosmer-Lemeshow test, and the value of the model for identification of SF and SFTS was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results: Data of 62 SF cases and 115 SFTS cases were included. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that rash (β=5.994), C-reactive protein (β=4.409), white blood cell (β=-3.176) and platelet (β=-3.234) were included in the model, which were scored 6, 4, -3 and -3, with a total score ranging from -5 to 10. Hosmer-Lemeshow test revealed a high model fitting effect (χ2=3.245, P=0.662). The AUC of the model was 0.992, and the sensitivity and specificity were 0.935 and 0.991 if the cutoff was 1. Conclusion A model for early identification of SF and SFTS that includes four variables of rash, C-reactive protein, white blood cell and platelet has been created, which has a high accuracy.

Objective To investigate the value of panel fluorescence in situ hybridization (panel FISH)for detection of genomic aberrations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL). Methods Five types of fluorescein-labelled DNA probes including five sequence specific probes D13S25 for 13q14. 3, RB1, p53, ATM (11 q23)and centromeric probe for chromosome (CSP12) were used to perform fluorescence in situ hybridization assays in 17 patients with CLL. Its results were compared with that obtain by conventional cytogenetic (CC)examination. Results In 17 patients with CLL, CC examination showed that only one case (1/17) was found to have chromosomal abnormality that was simultaneous trisomies 3,8 and 18, whereas panel FISH assay showed that 10 cases (10/17) were found to have genomic aberrations including deletion of D13S25 in 4 cases,deletion of ATM in 2 cases,deletion of p53 in 1 case,deletion of D13S25 combined RB1 in 1 case and 1 case with a variety of abnormalities. Conclusions Panel FISH is a useful method for detection of genomic aberration in CLL If it is combined with CC,it can obviously enhance the detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities in CLL.

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of direct trocar insertion using optical trocar in the establishment of the primary port during trans-peritoneal laparoscopic surgical procedures.Methods A prospective study was conducted by collecting the data of 120 patients who should be performed abdominal laparoscopic surgery from April 2015 to December 2015.The 120 patients were randomly divided into a research group and a control group.The research group consisted of 34 male patients and 26 female patients,mean age was (52.0 ± 11.9) years and mean BMI was (24.9 ± 2.9) kg/m2.In research group,patients were positioned laterally with the flank padded and elevated.A predetermined position was drawn prior to surgery between the umbilicus and lateral rectus abdominis,for the creation of the primary laparoscopic trocar port.The predetermined point was incised,and then the method of direct trocar insertion using the optical access trocar was used for establishment of the primary port.After this maneuver was completed the surgery continued as indicated.The control group consisted of 36 male patients and 24 female patients,whose mean age was (52.9 ± 11.4) years and mean BMI was (25.2 ± 2.4) kg/m2.This group underwent the traditional method of port construction by incision into the abdomen.The time of constructing the passage,leakage rate,bleeding rate,and injury rate of abdominal organs were compared.Results In research group,the time of building primary port was clearly shorter than that in control group (2.7min vs.15.9min,P ＜ 0.05),the leakage rate was also obviously reduced compared to that in control group (0 vs.30％,P ＜ 0.05).Neither groups observed any significant bleeding nor visceral organ damage throughout the study.Conclusion Direct trocar insertion using optical trocar to establish observation port is a highly efficient and safe method in trans-peritoneal laparoscopic operation,which should be research thoroughly in clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate significance of the quantification of bcr-abl mRNA in diagnosis and therapy of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML),essentiality significance for monitoring minimal residual disease. Methods Bcr-abl mRNA of 518 CML patients were detected using real-time PCR. Results Expression of bcr-abl mRNA was gradually increased among blastic phase (BP) (12.6 %),accelerated phase (AP) (25.4 %) and chronic phase (CP) (57.2 %) (P<0.05). Quantification of bcr-abl mRNA was cut down gradually after allotransplantation in the patients and becomes normal after treatment for 6 months. But quantification of bcr-abl mRNA inpatients treated with imatinib mesylate became normal after 12 months. Conclusion Real-time PCR was reliable and can be used for diagnosis,monitoring the treatment outcome,detecting the minimal residual disease,and predicting blast crisis.

Objective: To investigate the risk factors for yersiniosis, so as to provide insights into prevention of yersiniosis. Methods: The patients with yersiniosis admitted to the clinics in the surveillance site of Chengbei Township of Jin'an District and Chengnan Township of Yu'an District in Lu'an City from 2013 to 2021 were included as the case group, and the healthy family members matched to cases were selected as the family control group, while normal residents with a 1︰2 match in the same village, gender, and age difference within 5 years were included in the community control group. Participants' demographics, hand-washing and eating habits, living environment hygiene, poultry and livestock feeding were collected using questionnaire surveys, and factors affecting yersiniosis were identified using a multivariable conditional logistic regression model. Results: There were 43 cases in the case group, with a median (interquartile range) age of 45 (34) years, 91 cases in the family control group, with a median (interquartile range) age of 36 (36) years and 86 cases in the community control group, with a median (interquartile range) age of 46 (34) years. Multivariable conditional logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the family control group, the habit of drinking unboiled water (OR=6.721, 95%CI: 1.765-25.588), and direct consumption of food stored in the refrigerator (OR=7.089, 95%CI: 1.873-26.829) were risk factors for yersiniosis in the case group; and compared with the community control group, not washing hands after contacting with poultry and livestock (OR=50.592, 95%CI: 2.758-927.997), habit of eating raw vegetables and fruits (OR=5.340, 95%CI: 1.022-27.887), direct consumption of food stored in the refrigerator (OR=19.973, 95%CI: 2.118-188.336), and unclean refrigerator (OR=12.692, 95%CI: 1.992-80.869) were risk factors for yersiniosis in the case group. Compared with the family and community control groups, not washing hands after contacting with poultry and livestock (OR=4.075, 95%CI: 1.427-11.637), habit of drinking unboiled water (OR=4.153, 95%CI: 1.331-12.957), habit of eating raw vegetables and fruits (OR=4.744, 95%CI: 1.609-13.993), and direct consumption of food stored in the refrigerator (OR=5.051, 95%CI: 1.773-14.395) were risk factors for yersiniosis in the control group. Conclusion Unhealthy habits such as eating raw vegetables and fruits, drinking unboiled water, direct consumption of food stored in the refrigerator, unclean refrigerator, and not washing hands after contacting poultry and livestock may increase the risk of yersiniosis.
