Objective To detect fetal RhCcEe genotype from fetal DNA in maternal plasma for noninvasive prenatal diagnosis.Methods DNA from maternal plasma sample was extracted by use of QIAamp DNA Kit. The existence of fetal DNA was confirmed by amplified fetal SRY gene. The fetal RhCcEe gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from 30 pregnant maternal plasma. The results of fetal RhCcEe genotype were evaluated retrospectively by the serologic analysis of infant and pregnant woman RhCcEe phenotype.Results Among the 30 samples, 13 were the same phenotypes between mother and infant, 17 were different. When mother phenotypes were RhCC, cc, EE and ee homozygous, the deleted allele gene can be successfully amplified from mother plasma.Conclusion Noninvasive fetal RhCcEe genotyping is reliable. When the mother was homogyzous, genotyping the fetal CcEe alleles was very significant and useful for HDN (hemolysis disease of newborn) diagnosis and therapy.

Objective To study the gene expression profiles of megakaryocytes(MKs) from human cord blood CD34+ cells in vitro expanded and to understand megakaryopoiesis at the molecular level. Methods CD34+ cells were isolated using density gradient centrifugation and magnetic activated cell sorting. The cells were cultured and stimulated with recombinant human TPO ( 100 ng/ml). After 12 days, the MKs fraction was separated using an anti-CD41 monoclonal antibody by immunomagnetic sorting. The gene expression profiles of MKs, non-MKs as well as meg-01 cells were studied by gene chip assay. THBSI, HOX A9,β-actin, lL-8,Annexin A6, FGF-8 were selected to validate the gene chip results by RT-PCR. Results A total of 116 genes between MKs and non-MKs cells were significantly different, 52 genes were up-regulated and 64 genes were down-regulated. In addition, 158 genes between MKs and meg-01 cells were significantly different, 71 genes were up-regulated and 87 genes were down-regulated. THBSI showed higher expression in MKs than in non-MKs. HOXA9 showed lower expression in MKs than in non-MKs. The expression of β-actin did not show any significant difference in MKs and non-MKs. IL-8 showed higher expression in MKs than in meg-01 cells, while ANXA6 showed lower expression in MKs than in meg-01 cells. The expression of FGF-8 did not show any significant difference between MKs and meg-01 cells. Conclusions MKs, non-MKs and meg-01 cells show different gene expression profiles. The regulatory genes include stress response genes,immune related genes, DNA synthesis and repair genes, metabolism genes, pro-onco genes and tumor suppressor genes.

Objective To explore the radical surgery for tetralogy of Fallot combined with right pulmonary artery stenosis.Methods Thirteen cases with tetralogy of Fallot combined with right pulmonary artery stenosis accepted radical surgery,among them 7 cases who-had a long right pulmonary artery stenosis accepted aortic transaction for radical surgery of tetralogy of Fallot;5 cases who had the entrance stenosis of the right pulmonary artery accepted right pulmonary artery patch expansion for radical surgery of tetralogy of Fallot;One case who had the distortion and stenosis after pulmonary shunt accepted the radical surgery for tetralogy of Fallot after seperation and expansion.Results There were no operation-related deaths,post-operative low cardic output and perfusion lung occurred for all the cases.Ten cases had grade 1 cardiac function and 3 cases had grade 2,respectively.Conclusion Right pulmonary artery stenosis increased the risks during the radical surgery for tetralogy of Fallot,but it is still the primary operation choice.

Objective To assess the activity of Crohn’s disease (CD)by using the quantitative parameter of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI).Methods 50 CD patients with ileocecal solitary lesion were recruited in this study.All of patients underwent con-ventional and DCE-MRI.The quantitative parameter of volume transfer constant (Ktrans )and the clinical data including Harvey-Brad-show index (HBI)and C-reactive protein (CRP)were recorded.(1)the reliability and repeatability of Ktrans measurement were analyzed. (2)the correlation between Ktrans value and clinical data was analyzed by using Pearson analysis.(3)according to HBI,all of the CD patients were divided into severe group,mild-moderate group,and static group.The differences of Ktrans values among the three groups were compared by using Mann-Whitney U test.Results (1)the reliability of Ktrans measurement was high (Cronbach’s Alpha=0.993).(2)there was positive correlation between HBI and Ktrans(r=0.635,P<0.001),and between CRP and Ktrans(r= 0.764,P<0.001).(3)there was significant difference of Ktrans value between the static group and the mild-moderate group (P<0.001),be-tween the static group and the severe group (P<0.001),and.between the mild-moderate group and the severe group (P<0.001). Conclusion Quantitative parameter of DCE-MRI (Ktrans )had a high reliability and can be used to assess the inflammation activity of CD.

[Abstract ] Objective Stenosis is a common complication of Crohn′s disease (CD), different treatments for different cau-ses.The article aimed to investigate bowel stenosis by the application of MRI diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI) and explore its value of identifying CD. Methods From Jan 2014 to Jun 2014, 31 patients with histologically proven CD (18 males and 13 females;mean age:38.90 ±13.65 years) were recruited in this approved retrospective study .All patients underwent conventional 3.0T MRI and DWI sequences .According to the most serious stenosis part identified by MRI , DWI sequence examination was added and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of the lesion was measured.All patients would undergo colonoscopy in 24 hours.According to the endo-scopic manifestations and pathological results , the patients were divided into inflammatory group (n=21) and fibrotic group (n=10). We observed the difference of ADC between two groups and worked out the cutoff points . Results In the inflammatory group , the ADC value andthe mean ADC value of stenosis bowel wall were (1.01 ±1.83) ×103 mm2/s and (1.40 ±0.23) ×103 mm2/s, whereas (0.53 ±1.03) ×103 mm2/s and (0.80 ±0.16) ×103 mm2/s in the fibrotic group(P<0.05).The area under receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.981 (95%confidence interval 0.943-1.000), taking 1.11 ×103mm2/s as the cutoff point.The sensitivity of low ADC values in detecting inflammatory bowels was 90.5%, and the specificity of high ADC values in excluding inflammatory bowels was 100%. Conclusion Different pathological components limit the movement of water molecular at different degrees , therefore quantitative parameters can be acquired by measuring ADCs , which contributes to the identification and diagnosis of CD secondary bowel stenosis.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic factors of patients with pancreatic body and tail carcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of 64 patients with pancreatic body and tail carcinoma who underwent surgical resection or endoscopic ultrasound biopsy and were pathologically confirmed in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University from January 2013 to March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Age, gender, diabetes mellitus, serum CEA and CA19-9 levels at initial diagnosis, tumor site, maximum tumor diameter, TNM stage and treatment method were collected. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curve, and Log-rank test was used to analyze survival rate. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression models were used for prognostic analysis.Results:Among the 64 patients, 24 patients were complicated with diabetes; serum CEA level was increased in 36 cases, and serum CA19-9 level was increased in 46 cases; 8 cases were in TNM stage ⅠA, 4 cases were in ⅠB stage, 4 cases were ⅡA stage, 4 cases were in ⅡB stage, 8 cases were in Ⅲ stage, and 36 cases were in Ⅳ stage. Symptomatic treatment was performed in 18 cases, chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy were in 18 cases, and surgical comprehensive therapy (surgery combined with chemotherapy and immunotherapy) were in 26 cases. Univariate analysis showed that diabetes mellitus, serum CEA and CA19-9 levels, TNM stage and treatment mode were related factors affecting the prognosis of patients with pancreatic body and tail carcinoma (all P value <0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that TNM stage ( HR=2.536) and surgical comprehensive therapy ( HR=0.285) were the independent factors affecting the prognosis of patients with pancreatic body and tail carcinoma ( P<0.05). Median survival was 25 months (95% CI 21.416-28.584) for patients with TNM stage Ⅲ+ Ⅳ pancreatic body and tail carcinoma treated with surgical comprehensive therapy, 11 months (95% CI 7.246-14.754) for patients treated with chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy, and 6 months (95% CI 3.819-8.181) for patients treated with symptomatic treatment; the median survival time of patients with surgical comprehensive therapy was significantly longer than that of patients with chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy and symptomatic treatment, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:TNM stage and surgical comprehensive therapy were the prognostic factors affecting the prognosis of patients with pancreatic body and tail carcinoma, and surgical comprehensive therapy may be the best choice for long-term survival of patients.
