Abstract: Molecular genetic map is a fundamental organizational tool for genomic research. However, a genetic linkage map for Bupleurum chinense DC. has not been developed. In this study, with the theory of pseudo-testcross, 96 F1 plants from an intraspecific cross of B. chinense were used as mapping populations. Twenty eight ISSR (inter-simple sequence repeat) primers and 44 SSR (simple sequence repeat) primers were used to detect the polymorphisms between the parental plants, and of them, 28 ISSRs and 14 SSRs were selected to analyze the F1 populations. The map consisted of 13 linkage groups which included 80 (72 ISSRs and 8 SSRs) loci, and covered 2 633.9 cM with an average density of 33.4 cM. All 13 linkage groups consisted of 2-31 loci ranging in length from 15.4-1295.7 cM. This map will provide a basis for studies on gene mapping, map-based cloning and maker-assisted selection of important traits in B. chinense.

Intersectin is an evolutionarily conserved multifunctional adaptor protein with multifunctional domains. These domains interact with components of the endocytic and exocytic pathways, such as the clathrin mediating synaptic vesicle recycling, the protein related to endocytosis via caveolae, the with-no-lysine kinases related to the regulation of renal outer medullar potassium, and the Cdc42 mediating exocytic pathway. Recently, the understanding of intersectin function in the pathogenesis of endocrine tumor and many neurodegenerative diseases such as Down syndrome, Alzheimer disease has been deepened. This article reviewed the structure and roles in endocytosis/exocytosis and diseases of intersectin.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value and safety of domestic electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) guided transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) for peripheral pulmonary lesions.Methods Sixty-four patients with peripheral pulmonary lesions shown by thoracic CT in Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University between Jul.and Dec.,2014 were collected.The patients were randomly assigned to test group (underwent ENB in combination with X-ray guided TBLB) and control group (underwent X-ray guided TBLB).The final diagnosis was confirmed by pathologic examination of surgically removed lesions or by 24 months clinical follow-up.The operative time as well as the intraoperative and postoperative complications were also recorded.Results Sixty-four patients had 70 peripheral pulmonary lesions.There was no difference in age,sex,the lesion size or location between the two groups.Pathology results showed that the diagnostic yield of test group and control group were 88.6％ and 62.9％,respectively,with statistical significance (P =0.012).Subgroup analysis showed that if the lesion's diameter was ≤2 cm,the diagnosis yield of test group was higher than control group (66.7％ vs.20.0％,P =0.266);if the lesion was ＞2 and ≤3 cm,the diagnosis yield of test group and control group were 100 ％ and 81.8 ％,respectively (P =0.485).But if the lesion was＞3 cm,the diagnostic yield of the 2 group was significantly different (94.4 ％ in test group,63.1％ in control group,P =0.042).Mean operation duration of the 2 group was (966 ± 372)s and (1 040 ± 470) s,respectively,with no statistical difference (P =0.600).However,there was statistical difference between the 2 groups on the X-ray time needed to find the pulmonary lessions [(7.0 ± 4.8)s vs.(37.0 ± 37.5) s,P =0.008).There was no pneumothoraxes and excessive bleeding in patients undergoing ENB.Conclusions Compared with X-ray guide TBLB,ENB guided TBLB for peripheral pulmonary lesions has a certain degree of security,and has superiority in reducing the X-ray time required to find the lesion and improving diagnostic yield especially when the lesion's diameter was ＞3 cm.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effectiveness of anterior debridement,bone graft, and posterior pedicle screw-rod internal fixation in the treatment of lumbosacral tuberculosis.

METHODSFrom January 2005 to June 2012,18 patients with lumbosacral tuberculosis undergoing the surgical treatment by anterior debridement, bone graft, and posterior pedicle screw-rod internal fixation were reviewed retrospectively. There were 12 males and 6 females with an average age of 44 years old ranging from 35 to 67. Among them, 2 cases were simple low back pain,3 cases were low back pain combined with radiating pain of lower extremity and 13 cases were muscle strength hypesthesia. According to Fankle grading,the nerve function was grade C in 3 cases,grade D in 10 cases,grade E in 5 cases. Of these cases,L4.5 was involved in 8 cases,L5 in 4 cases and L5S1 in 6 cases. The lumbosacral angle was 150 to 270 and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was 45 to 93 mm/h before treatment. The clinical indexes including the lumbosacral incidence, Frankel grade and ESR were reviewed at follow-up.

RESULTSAll 18 cases were followed up for 14 to 22 months. The mean operation time was 180 min. The amount of bleeding was 400 to 800 ml. Except 1 case with iliac vein injuried and 4 cases with abdominal distension,no spinal injuries and severe relative complication occurred, and neurologic function improved in various degrees. Pain in lumbosacral area and radicular pain in lower extremities disappeared. The X-ray and CT films demonstrated that bony fusion was obtained in all patients during 9 to 13 months postoperatively. The lumbosacral angle and ESR were improved significantly.

CONCLUSIONAnterior debridement, bone graft, and posterior pedicle screw-rod internal fixation is an effective method in dealing with lumbosacral spine tuberculosis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical effects of 360 degree circular decompression and transpedicle screw fixation to treat the ossification of thoracic posterior longitudinal ligament by posterior approach.

METHODSFrom December 2009 to November 2013, 18 patients with ossification of thoracic posterior longitudinal ligament ossification were treated with 360 degree circle decompression and transpedicle screw fixation by posterior approach. There were 8 males and 10 females,ranging in age from 32 to 67 years old, with an average of 51 years old. Four patients were accompanied with ligamentum flavum ossification. Longitudinal ossifications in 5 cases were located in the upper thoracic vertebra and 13 cases in the middle and lower thoracic vertebra. Five cases were typical type, 4 cases were segmental type, 6 cases were continuous type and 3 cases were mixed type. All the patients had the posterior spinal canal decompression combined with longitudinal ligament resection, interbody fusion with bone graft and internal fixation surgeries. The operation time,blood loss and complications were recorded. JOA score were applied to evaluate the neurological function recovery pre-surgery, 2 days post-surgery and the latest follow-up. The surgery effects were evaluated by Epstein-Schwall method.

RESULTSThe operation time ranged from 3 to 6 hours (mean, 4.2 hours). The blood loss ranged from 800 to 4 000 ml (mean, 1 800 ml). All the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 6 months to 3 years, with a mean of 1.8 years. The JOA score increased from preoperative 4.30 ± 2.60 to 7.60 ± 2.40 2 days after surgery, and 7.80 ± 1.90 at the latest follow-up (t = 4.61, P < 0.001). The JOA scores between 2 days after surgery and the latest follow-up had no significant differences (t = 0.28,P = 0.78). The neurological recovery rate was 74% 2 days after surgery and 71% at the latest follow-up. There were 4 cases got an excellent result,10 good,3 fair and 1 poor according to Epstein-Schwall evaluation method. Four patients had cerebrospinal fluid leakage, 3 patients had intercostal nerve paralysis or pain, and 1 patient had superficial incision infection. The neurological function in 3 patients became worse in the second day posteratively , and among them, 2 patients were recovered at the latest follow-up and 1 patient had no changes. All the patients got fusion of bone graft and no internal fixation loosening and fractures occurred.

CONCLUSION360 degree circular decompression and transpedicle screw fixation can resect different types of thoracic longitudinal ligament ossification, and can achieve a good clinical effect.
