In comparison with the American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting last year,more studies of hematologic malignancies using next generation sequencing (NGS) are published in the 56th ASH meeting this year.NGS was mainly used in the diagnosis and classification,risk stratification,MRD detection,clonal evolution,prognosis and therapy guidance.This short report will address the application of NGS in the study of hematologic malignancies by summarizing several representative publications from the 56th ASH meeting.

Objective To explore mechanism of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) on improvement of cognitive function and alleviation of hippocampal insulin resistance in APP/PS 1 transgenetic mice. Method 12 months old female APP/PS 1 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:model group(Tg), EGCG low dose group (Tg/EGCG-L), high dose group(Tg/EGCG-H). C 57 BL/6 J mice were utilized as control. learning and memory ability in 4 group mice were detected by morris water maze test(MWM). The hippocampal TNF-α/JNK signal and IRS-1 pSer 312 expression were detected by Western blot and immunohistochemical staining. Results Compared with NT mice, Tg mice showed a marked prolongation of the escape latency and swimming distance in the MWM test(P<0.05);Abnormal activation of TNF-α/JNK signaling and increased IRS-1 pSer 312 expression in the hippocampus of Tg mice(P<0.05). EGCG-treated Tg mice showed significantly improvement of all these abnormal changes(P<0.05). Conclusion EGCG treatment is able to alleviate hippocampal insulin resistance and improve cognitive function in the APP/PS 1 mice. which may be partly attributed to the reduction of TNF-α/JNK signaling activity in this AD mouse model.

At the 58th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting,there were many reports on clonal evolution related with blood disease.Gene mutation and clonal evolution after treatment of azacitidine (AZA) in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) were summarized to explore the relationship between clonal evolution and treatment response and clinical process in MDS,and to provide reference for clinical treatment decision.

BACKGROUND:Femoral neck fracture combined with femoral shaft fracture as a high-energy injury exhibits some difficulties in its clinical treatment because of bone chips and bone defects. Bone and cel transplantations have been used recently in order to effectively fil the bone defect area. OBJECTIVE:To explore the therapeutic effect of bone transplantation versus cel transplantation for treatment of femoral neck fracture combined with femoral shaft fracture. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed in patients with femoral neck fracture combined with femoral shaft fracture, who respectively underwent internal fixation with bone transplantation, tissue transplantation and cel transplantation. Perioperative indexes, incidence of complications and Harris scores were observed and compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Femoral neck fractures are most commonly classified into Garden type, AO type and Pauwel type. Fracture classification aims to unify standards, which is easy to guide treatment and scientific research. (2) Internal fixation with bone transplantation and tissue transplantation is easy, safe and effective to promote fracture healing and improve hip function, which is an effective way to repair femoral neck fractures with femoral shaft fractures. (3) Compared with autogenous bone graft, alograft transplantation materials as finished products have a variety of sources, and have indications and efficacy similar to non-vascularized bone graft, which are suitable for clinical practice, but long-term effects need to be furtherexplored. (4) Internal fixation with cel transplantation is simple, reliable and effective for femoral neck fractures with femoral shaft fractures, which provides a new idea to reduce the early incidence of femoral head necrosis.

Heart failure is one of the most common acute and critical disease in pediatric,early diagnosis of diseases is an important cli-nical value.The current study found that brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)is a peptide hormone,which is secreted mainly by ventricle and may reflect the state of cardiac function;BNP level of detection is contributive to the diagnosis,treatment of heart failure,etc.J Appl Clin Pediatr,2009,24(1):64-66

Objective To provide references for building the medical rehabilitation system in China by learning the progress and compliance of rehabilitation departments construction at tertiary hospitals. Methods Comparative and quantitative methods were used for dynamic analysis qualitative interview to learn the index compliance of the hospitals in question in 201 1-2012.Results Compared with 201 1, average days of stay of the rehabilitation departments declined in general,yet with insufficient therapists;introduction of early rehabilitation intervention was but 57.1%,and the functional assessment rate of rehabilitation service was less than satisfactory.Conclusion Lack of manpower,varying levels of medical rehabilitation services,and neglect for functional assessment were found to be the main problems in construction of medical rehabilitation departments for the time being.

This article analyzed the current problems existing in the public health master cur-ricula system, such as educational ideas being backward, tralning objectives not explicit, curricula teaching unsatisfactory and effects of practical curriculum needing to be improved. Based on the pro-fessional competencies, we discussed the ideas and principles of the new curricula system of master of public health, and proposed making sure of a refined professional competencies, making strict traln-ing standards, confirming tralning objectives, embodying advantages, setting up reasonable curricula, fostering practical abilities, strengthening cooperation and carrying on professional identification.

Objective:To investigate whether the mindfulness training can reduce the aggression level and im-prove the sleeping quality among incarcerated people.Methods:Fifty-four male criminals were recruited into the study.They were divided into mindfulness training group (n =25)and control group (n =29).The training group took mindfulness exercise once a week for 6 weeks.While the participants in waiting list control group waited for 6 weeks without intervention.After 6-week mindfulness training for training group and post-assessment for all partici-pants,the waiting list control group went into 6-week mindfulness training.The Five Facet Mindfulness Question-naire (FFMQ),Aggression Questionnaire (AQ)and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)were assessed before and after the intervention.Results:There were 19 valid data in training group,and 21 in control group.After 6-week training,the score difference between pre-and post-assessment of FFMQ (P <0.01 )was higher in the training group than in the control group,and the difference of AQ (P <0.01)and PSQI (P <0.01)was lower in training group than in the control group.Conclusion:The results suggest that 6-week mindfulness training could effectively reduce the aggression level and improve the sleep quality in the long-term incarcerated males.
