Objective: Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) is an X-linked lethal recessive disease caused by mutations in the dystrophy gene. There is no efficient treatment for this serious and disabling disease. We established a combination method to detect carriers and perform prenatal diagnosis. Methods: In our study, from 1994 to 2005, using a different combination of 5 methods, including SRY gene amplification, multiplex PCR, multiplex Fluorescence PCR capillary electrophoresis, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and linkage analysis of short tandem repeats (STR), 36 prenatal diagnosis were performed for pregnancies at risk of having a DMD/BMD baby through amniocentesis. Results: Fourteen out of 21 male fetuses were found to be affected and respective pregnancies were terminated. A combined diagnostic rate of 83% was achieved for 30 cases with deletions, duplications, and non-deletion mutations after tested by more than one method. Conclusion: Using a combined method, we can diagnoses patients and carriers in DMD families, and perform prenatal diagnosis for the risk fetus. MLPA provides a simple, rapid and accurate method for deletions and duplications of all the 79 DMD exons. MLPA method for DMD diagnosis is the first report in our country.
2. Comparison of the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block and iliofascial lacuna block after total knee arthroplasty
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2020;27(3):280-283
Objective:
To compare the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block and iliofascial lacuna block after total knee arthroplasty.
Methods:
From June 2016 to June 2018, 96 patients with total knee replacement in Orthopaedic Hospital of Yongkang were selected in this research and divided into two groups by random number table method, with 48 cases in each group.The control group was treated with ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block, and the observation group was treated with ultrasound-guided iliofascial lacuna block.Visual analogue (VAS) pain score, puncture injection time, cumulative fentanyl dosage, recovery time, effective analgesia time, active joint flexion angle and adverse reactions of the affected limb were compared between the two groups at 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after surgery.
Results:
There were no statistically significant differences in VAS score at each postoperative time point between the two groups (all

Objective:To explore the application of 3D printing technology combined with CPBL teaching mode in the teaching of master's degree in spine surgery.Methods:42 postgraduates in our department were randomly divided into two groups: experimental group (21) and control group (21). The experimental group used 3D printing technology combined with CPBL teaching mode as teaching techniques. Before class, the teacher would select some typical cases and design related problems. During class, 3D models were used to guide students to think and solve related problems; The control group used traditional teaching mode. Students in the two groups were compared for the theoretical knowledge and operational techniques they have mastered, and the students' satisfaction and recognition towards different teaching modes were obtained through questionnaire survey. Independent sample t-test was performed using SPSS 25.0.Results:The scores of the theoretical knowledge, operational techniques, teaching satisfaction and recognition of postgraduates were (84.7±3.4), (87.1±3.7), (9.7±0.3), (9.3±0.4) in the experimental group, and (79.7±3.3), (80.4 ± 4.0), (8.4±0.7) and (8.3±0.6) in the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The new teaching mode of combining 3D printing technology with CPBL teaching mode is better than the traditional teaching mode, which is worth further promotion and application.
