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 feasibility and application value of combined C2 laminar screw fixation technique in treatment of cervical vertebral injury. Methods Dense axial CT scanning was done on C2 laminar of 32 specimens of cervical vertebra to measure the length and height of the axis, the thickness of upper, middle and lower parts of the axis as well as the angle between the axial ray and the sagittal plane. There were eight patients with cervical vertebral injury including two with type Ⅱ odon-told process fractures combined with backward dislocation of atlanto-axial joint, one with forward disloca-tion of atlanto-axial joint, one with nonunion of odontoid process fractures, two with type Ⅲ odontoid process fractures combined with atlanto-axial joint instability and transverse ligament rupture, one with type Ⅱ Hangman fracture combined with instability of C2~3 and one with forward dislocation of atlanto-axial joint combined with transverse ligament rupture. With accomplishment of traction reduction, combined fixation with axis laminar screws and posterior autogenous lilac graft fusion were done based on injury se-verity of the patients. Results The length and height of axis laminar was (26.2±1.2) mm and (12.8±1.6) mm, respectively. The thickness of upper, middle and lower parts of the C2 laminar was (3.0±1.4) mm, (6.0±1.6) mm and (5.6±1.2) mm, respectively. The mean angle between the axial ray and sagittal plane was 43.5°. All patients were followed up for 6-14 months ( mean 6 months), which showed that all patients obtained favourable bone union and all screws remained at sound position, without deflexion of the screws or any perioperative or postoperative complications. No screw loosening or breakage occurred. Conclusions C2 laminar screw fixation technique can prevent the risk of vertebral artery injury during screw insertion. In the meantime, such technique is simple to operate and free from limitation of the vertebral artery in the cervical foramen. Whole course of visualization during C2 laminar screw insertion may facilitate it as a supplementary method for conventional posterior C2 screw fixation.
