Objective To observe the efficacy of imatinib on the treatment of bcr-abl positive essential thrombocythemia (ET). Methods A case of bcr-abl positive ET resistant to hydroxyurea (HU) treating with imatinib (200～400 mg/d) was reported and related literatures were reviewed. Results A case of bcr-abl positive ET was initially treated with 1.5～2.0 g/d HU, the platelet count decreased to 562x109/L after 4 weeks; however, the platelet count increased to (1020～1330)×109/L treating with same dose of HU 16 months later. With the elevation of HU to 3.0 g/d, platelet count was still high(1290～1780)x109/L companied with the very low white blood cell count(0.3～0.9)×109/L. While treating with imatinib (400 mg/d) for 1 month,the platelet count decreased to 390×109/L and white blood cell count was 0.5×109/L; Furthermore, treating with 200×300 mg/d of imatinib, the platelet and white blood cell count recovered in normal after 1 month,and bcr-abl fusion gene negative 2 months later. Conclusion Imatinib may be the effective targeting drug for the bcr-abl positive ET, and the bcr-abl positive ET is sensitive to low dose imatinib.

Objective : To establish a microwave-assisted digestion-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) with an octopole reaction system for simultaneous determination of six heavy metals in peanuts, including Cr, Ni, As, Cd, Pb, Hg. Methods : Peanut samples were shelled and crushed evenly, and 0.350 0 g was accurately weighed and digested with 5 mL nitric acid and 1 mL hydrogen peroxide in a digestion tank. Following microwave-assisted digestion, pure water was used to quantify the samples, and internal standards and an octopole reaction system were used to remove the interference. Then, the contents of six heavy metals were determined in peanuts by ICP-MS. The accuracy and precision of ICP-MS were evaluated using national criteria ( GBW 10013 and GBW 10044 ) and spike-and-recovery testing. Results : The six heavy metals showed good linearity at the selected linear range ( r≥0.999 8 ). The detection limits of ICP-MS ranged from 0.001 4 to 0.023 8 ng/mL, and the spike-and-recovery rates ranged from 94.7% to 98.8%, with the relative standard deviations ranging from 0.7% to 3.6%. In addition, the determination results of the standard reference materials were all within the normal reference range. The detection of six heavy metals was 100.0% in 60 peanut samples, and the contents of six heavy metals were all low. Conclusion The established ICP-MS assay is feasible for simultaneous determination of multiple heavy metals in peanuts.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of toxin, the PCR-ribotyping(RT) and the multilocus sequence typing(MLST) of Clostridium difficile strains isolated from China-Japan Friendship Hospital in order to provide a basis for monitoring the outbreak of nosocomial Clostridium difficile infection.Methods A total of 321 samples were collected from the patients with suspected Clostridium difficile infection(CDI) in China-Japan Friendship Hospital(CJFH) during 2012 to 2013.All Clostridium difficile strains were isolated and identified by the standard phenotypic culture method.Cytotoxicity test was performed to detect toxin B.Toxin genes (tcdA and tcdB) and binary toxin genes (cdtA and cdtB) harbored by those strains were analyzed.RT and MLST were used for homologous analysis.Clinical data of the patients were collected to analyze the isolation rate of Clostridium difficile in different populations.Results Forty-eight strains of Clostridium difficile were isolated from 46 patients with diarrhea and three of them were isolated from the same patient.The incidence of CDI among all patients, outpatients and inpatients were 14.3%(46/321), 12.8%(5/39) and 14.5%(41/282), respectively.Toxin B was detected in all of the strains as indicated by the cytotoxicity test.Strains of sequence type 1(ST1) showed the strongest cytotoxicity of all the isolated Clostridium difficile strains.Ten out of the 48 strains (20.8%) were tcdA(-)/tcdB(+) strains, which belonged to either ST37 or ST81.The results of RT and MLST were consistent in assigning the strains into nine types, in which the predominant type was ST1/RT027 accounting for 27.1% (13/48).All of the ST1/RT027 strains presented a toxin gene profile of tcdA(+)/tcdB(+) and cdtA(+)/cdtB(+).Most of the ST1/RT027 strains were isolated from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of Respiratory, where smallnosocomial outbreaks of ST1/RT027 strain infection might happen.Conclusion CDI diagnosed in CJFH mainly belongs to nosocomial infection.Most of the isolated strains harbor tcdA(+)/tcdB(+) genes.Surveillance for the outbreaks of CDI caused by ST1/RT027 strains over producing toxins A and B should be strengthened in hospitals.

Objective To evaluate the effect of MRI in reflecting the pathological changes of VX2 carcinoma in rabbits after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) . Methods RFA was performed in the livers of 24 rabbits with planted VX2 carcinoma. The rabbits were divided into 4 groups. After RFA, the rabbits were killed after MR imaging on 0, 1, 2, and 4 weeks, respectively. The correlation between MRI and pathological findings was analyzed. Results In the acute phase, coagulative necrosis of the ablated tumors and inflammatory reaction with hyperemia around were detected at microscopic examination. The ablated tumor showed as hypointensity on T1WI and hyperintensity on T2WI, while rim of high signal intensity on T1WI and low signal intensity on T2WI was found. Gadolinium-enhanced MRI showed a thin high signal rim surrounding the central coagulative necrosis. In the subacute phase, extensive coagulative necrosis and marked infiltration by neutrophils, lymphocytes, macrophages and a peripheral fibrous generation rim were observed microscopically on the ablated tumor. The ablated tumor showed iso-or hyperintensity on T1WI and hypointensity on T2WI, while the periphery of ablated lesions was hypointensity on T1WI and hyperintensity on T2WI. There was prominent rim enhancement along the ablated margin. In the chronic phase, peripheral fibrous rim became obvious, more regular and thicker than at subacute phase as hypointensity on T1WI and T2WI, and unenhancement was observed. Residual or recurrence of tumor was found in 17 rabbits as hypointensity on T1WI and hyperintensity on T2WI, and irregular, thicker rim or nodular enhancing abnormalities. Conclusion MRI can effectively show the histopathological tissue changes of rabbit VX2 carcinoma after ablation and demonstrate the residual or recurrence of tumor.
