Objective To establish a rapid, accurate and low-cost screening method for the detection of calreticulin (CALR) mutations in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN).Methods Seventy cases diagnosed with MPN were collected from 2012 to 2016. PCR combined with high resolution melting (HRM) analysis were used to screen the CALR mutations, and Sanger sequencing and T-A sequencing were applied to verify the HRM positive samples. CALR wild type DNA, type 1 and type 2 mutant DNA samples were selected and analyzed 4 times/day for 5 days to detected the CVs of Tm (melting temperature) respectively. JAK2 mutations were also analyzed in MPN patients to compare the association between JAK2 and CALR mutations.Results PCR-HRM analysis showed 7 cases (26.9%) and 5 cases (20.8%) patients with CALR mutations were screened out from 26 essential thrombocythaemia (ET) cases and 24 primary myelofibrosis (PMF) cases, but no CALR mutations were found in cases with polycythaemia vera (PV). All mutations were confirmed by direct sequencing or cloning sequencing. The CVs for HRM analysis of CALR wild type DNA, type 1 and type 2 mutant DNA samples were 1.91%,1.59% and 1.43%, respectively.There were 47 cases with JAK2 V617F and 1 case with exon12 mutation. No coexistence of JAK2 mutation and CALR mutations were found in a single sample.Conclusion PCR-HRM can be used for rapid screening of CALR mutation. Subsequent sequencing can be applied for rapid diagnosis of MPN patients in clinical practice.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane tamponade combined with air filling for giant macular hole (MH).Methods:A prospective case-control study. From January 2019 to February 2021, 56 patients (56 eyes) diagnosed with giant MH from Eye Center of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were enrolled. Among them, there were 17 males with 17 eyes and 39 females with 39 eyes. The average age of the patients was 64.23±9.30 years old. The average MH minimum diameter was 827.36±83.16 μm. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) examination were performed before surgery. The Chinese version of 25-item National Eye Institute visual functioning questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25) was used to investigate patient's visual-related quality of life. There were 28 eyes of 28 cases receiving PRF membrane covering, as PRF group, another 28 eyes of 28 cases receiving inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) insertion into giant MH, as ILM group. The differences of the age ( t=-1.588), sex ratio ( χ2=0.760), BCVA ( Z=-0.400), macular hole minimum diameter ( t=-0.604), choriocapillary blood flow area (CBFA) ( t=1.331) and NEI VFQ-25 score ( t=0.921) were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). All eyes underwent 23G minimally invasive vitrectomy. In the PRF group, PRF membrane was used to fill the hole, and in the ILM group, the hole was filled with ILM inversion, and filled with sterile air after full gas-liquid exchange. The follow-up time after surgery was ≥6 months. The same equipment and methods as before surgery were used to conduct related examinations, and the changes of BCVA, the shape of hole closure, CBFA and the improvement of vision-related quality of life were compared between the two groups. For comparison between groups, independent samples t-test was used for data with normal distribution, and Mann-Whitney U test was used for data with non-normal distribution. For intra-group comparisons, paired-samples t-test was used for data with normal distribution, and Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for non-normally distributed data. Results:Six months after surgery, in the eyes of PRF group and ILM group, the hole of 27 (96.4%, 27/28) and 26 (92.6%, 26/28) eyes were closed; the median BCVA was 0.70 and 0.70, respectively; CBFA were 1.99±0.20 and 1.91±0.18 mm 2; NEI VFQ-25 scores were 81.36±12.39 and 78.39±10.12, respectively. Compared with before surgery, the BCVA ( Z=-4.636,-4.550) and CBFA ( t=-27.115,-31.135) of the affected eyes in the PRF group and ILM group were significantly improved after surgery, and the NEI VFQ-25 scores ( t=-15.557, -10.675) was significantly increased, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in BCVA ( Z=-0.167), CBFA ( t=1.554), and NEI VFQ-25 scores ( t=0.980) between the two groups after interocular surgery ( P=0.726, 0.126, 0.331). Conclusion:PRF membrane insertion with air filling has the same efficacy as ILM insertion in the treatment of giant MH, which can improve the closure rate of MH, patients' vision and vision-related quality of life, and increase choroidal blood perfusion.

Objective:To observe and explore the feasibility and effectiveness of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membrane packing and air filling in the treatment of refractory macular holes.Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From January 2019 to January 2020, 17 patients with refractory macular hole (17 eyes) who diagnosed in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were included in the study. Among them, there were 7 males (7 eyes) and 10 females (10 eyes), with the age of 55.18±7.91 years. All eyes underwent 23G minimally invasive vitrectomy combined with internal limiting membrane stripping and PRF packing, and air filling was performed at the end of the operation. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography angiography were performed in all eyes before surgery and at 1 week and 1, 3 months after surgery. The BCVA examination was performed using a international standard logarithmic visual acuity chart, which was converted into logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution visual acuity during statistics. Taking 3 months after surgery was as the time point to judge the efficacy, the changes of BCVA, superficial retinal vascular density (SVD), foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area and central foveal thickness (CFT) before and after surgery were compared. Paired t-test was used to compare the indicators before and after surgery. Results:Among the 17 eyes, there were 6, 7, and 4 eyes with giant macular hole, high myopia macular hole, and recurrent macular hole, respectively; the hole diameter was 723.94±38.30 μm. Three months after surgery, all holes were closed. Compared with before surgery, the BCVA ( t=4.458) and SVD ( t=2.675) increased, and the CFT ( t=6.329) and FAZ area ( t=4.258) decreased at 3 months after surgery, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, there was no complications such as intraocular hypertension and retinal detachment in all eyes. Conclusion:Minimally invasive vitrectomy combined with internal limiting membrane stripping and PRF tamponade in the treatment of refractory macular holes can increase the closure rate, improve visual acuity and retinal blood perfusion.
