The variable heavy chain region (VH) genes of 3 untreated patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) were cloned and analyzed. The VH family used was VH3-11, VH3-72 and VH3-33. More than 2% difference from the corresponding germline gene was detected in all the 3 obtained potential functional genes (average 16.7). Mutation pattern analysis indicated evidence of antigen selective pressure observed in 1 of 3 cases. Our findings suggested that the tumor cells originate from post-GC cells.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of the open and laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy to retain the clinical efficacy of reproductive function analysis. Methods Four hundred and fifty-six patients with ectopic pregnancy were selected as our subjects. Two hundred and eleven cases were served as laparotomy group( open),and 245 cases were laparoscopic group( laparoscopic). The data of intraoperative blood loss,operative time,postoperative anal exhaust time,average hospital stay,tubal patency rate,intrauterine pregnancy rate and again repeat ectopic pregnancy rate were recorded. Results Patients in two groups were successfully completed surgery. The operative time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative anal exhaust time,average hospitalization time were(55. 1 ± 13. 5)min,(63. 5 ± 18. 3)ml,(25. 7 ± 5. 6)h,(6. 1 ± 2. 0)d respectively in laparotomy group,and(41. 3 ± 15. 5)min,(41. 1 ± 13. 3)ml,(13. 5 ± 5. 1)h,(3. 6 ± 1. 4)d respectively in laparoscopic group,and the differences were significant( t =2. 045,2. 263,3. 131, 3. 152,P﹤0. 05). The tubal patency rate,intrauterine pregnancy,ectopic pregnancy rate in laparotomy group were 81. 0%( 171/211 ),59. 7%( 126/211 ) and 26. 5%( 56/211 ) respectively,and 75. 5%( 185/245 ), 53. 5%( 131/245 ) and 22. 9%( 56/245 ) respectively in laparoscopic group,and the differences were not significant(χ2 =2. 254,2. 130,1. 242;P ﹥0. 05 ). Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy is superior to laparotomy in terms of small trauma,less bleeding,faster recovery,shorter hospitalization time,and postoperative tubal patency rate.

OBJECTIVESequences analysis of Ig variable regions from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients with chronic B lymphocytic leukemia.
METHODSTotal RNA was isolated from PBMC of patients with chronic B lymphocytic leukemia, oligo-dT-primed cDNA was synthesized from RNA. The cDNA was amplified by Taq DNA polymerase with a set of specific 5' primers corresponding to Ig FR1 and 3' primers corresponding to CH1 (C micro /C) or CL (Ckappa/Clambda), the PCR products of variable regions of Ig heavy (IgH) and light (IgL) chains were sequenced by ABI PRISM Dye terminator cycle sequencing ready reaction kit and ABI PRISM 310 Genetic Analyzer. The gene homology of variable regions of IgH and IgL chains was compared by using DNA tools 5.1 system and "the international immunogenetics database".
RESULTSFour light chains and 3 heavy chains were amplified from 4 and 3 patients respectively. Homology analysis of the sequences of 4 light chains and 3 heavy chains were performed by DNA tools system. The sequences of light chains are high homologous. And the sequences of heavy chains are quite different. The homologous analysis of the sequences of variable region by using "the international immunogenetics database" showed that the sequences were higher homologous to idiotype gene of some B lymphocytic leukemia. Four VL genes belong to human Ig Vkappa subgroup I, 2 of 3 VH genes belong to VH3 family and 1 belongs to VH5 family.
CONCLUSIONIg genes have idiotype and same disease may have same idiotype.

ObjectiveTo recognize the cranial MRI appearance in cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy(CADASIL). MethodsFive patients with CADASIL from two generations in a family underwent routine MRI and MRA examinations.Three patients with CADASIL were confirmed by the Notch3 genetic testing and the vascular pathological Resultsand one was diagnosed on basis of MR and clinical manifestations. The imaging data from 4 patients with CADASIL were analyzed.ResultsFour cases achieved preliminary diagnosis of CADASIL and one was excluded by MRI.In 4 patients with CADASIL,bilateral symmetrical,confluent white matter lesions in the subcortical and Deriventricular regions were seen frequently in the temporal,frontal and parietal lobes,but the occipital lobes were less involved.These lesions appeared as long T1 and long T2 signal.O'Sul]ivan sign was shown in all cases and subcortical lacunar lesions was seen in 2 cases. In the centrum semiovale,well-defined,round or oval cystic infarcts(black holes)were demonstrated in 3 cases and multiple tiny round enlarged perivascular spaces(pepperpot appearance)in all cases.The corpus callosum was involved in all cases,and it was evidently atrophic in 2 cases.The anterior part of internal capsule and external capsule were were present in the basal ganglia and brainstem. Only one case revealed a small infarct in the right cerebellum. Four Datients shared mild or moderate atrophy of brainstem, cerebellum and cerebrum. No marked abnorillalitv of large vessels was seen in all cerebral MRA. ConclusionsThe cranial MRI appearance in CADASIL shows some characteristics.MRI may give some infotznation in the preliminary diagnosis or exclusion of CADASIL.

A three-dimensional (3D) graphic model of a single-chain Fv (scFv) which was derived from an anti-human placental acidic isoferritin (PAF) monoclonal antibody (Mab) was constructed by a homologous protein-predicting computer algorithm on Silicon graphic computer station.The structure, surface static electricity and hydrophobicity of scFv were investigated. Computer graphic modelling indicated that all regions of scFv including the linker, variable regions of the heavy (VH) and light (VL) chains were suitable. The VH region and the VL region were involved in composing the "hydrophobic pocket". The linker was drifted away VH and VL regions. The complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of VH and VL regions surrounded the "hydrophobic pocket". This study provides a theory basis for improving antibody affinity, investigating antibody structure and analyzing the functions of VH and VL regions in antibody activity.
