Objective To detect the influence of the perfusion quantity and distribution of bone cement by percutaneous ky-phoplasty(PKP) on the early treatment result of thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fractures(OVCF) .Methods From May 2011 to May 2013 ,62 cases of osteoporotic fractures of thoracic or lumber vertebra were treated by PKP .CT scans were performed postoperatively to analysis the distribution of the bone cement in the vertebra .According to the bone cement distribution on the transverse plane CT film ,the results were classified into four degrees :excellence ,good ,fair and poor .The cases were followed-up regularly .Preoperative and postoperative visual analogue scale(VAS) ,oswestry dysfunction index(ODI) ,height of the operated ver-tebra ,cobb angle ,the incidences of complications during and after the surgery were compared between groups of different degrees of bone cement distribution and different amount of bone cement injection .Results Among the 62 cases ,the follow-up time ranged from 3 to 36 months[average(10 .5 ± 5 .3)months] .In all of the cases ,there was statistically significant difference between the pre-operative and postoperative VAS scoring(P< 0 .05) .3 months after suergery ,there were no statistically significant influence on the results of VAS scoring ,the ODI scoring ,the height lost of the operated vertebra and the improvement of the Cobb angle(P> 0 .05) . In cases of bone cement injection more than 5 mL ,adjacent vertebra fractures happened in 3 cases 6 months postoperatively and 6 cases 12 months postoperatively .In cases of bone cement injection less than 4 mL ,there were only 2 cases of adjacent vertebra frac-tures happened 12 months posoperatively .The degree of vertebra height lost between the bone cement excellent group and poor group was statistically significant in 6 months and 12 months postoperatively .In cases when the distribution of bone cement was ex-cellent ,the improvement of pain and function was significantly different(P< 0 .05) .Conclusion OVCF is treated by PKP .Through conventional operation ,the ultra-early(within 3 months)efficacy is excellent ,in cases of different amount of bone cement injection and different degree of bone cement distribution .However ,with appropriate amount of bone cement ,the more eventfully and sym-metrically the distribution of the bone cement is ,the better of the early clinical results ,probably .

OBJECTIVETo establish a fluorogenic probe quantitative RT-PCR (FQ-RT-PCR) method for detection of bcr/abl mRNA fusion gene expression level in leukemia cells, and provide a useful tool for leukaemia diagnosis and minimal residual disease inspectation.

METHODThe conventional RT-PCR was used to amplify bcr/abl gene from cultured K562 cells, the quantitative standard template was constructed with A-T clone method. The fluo-rogenic quantitative RT-PCR method by using Applied Biosystems 7700 Sequence Detector for detecting the expression of bcr/abl fusion gene was successfully. The sensitivity, stability and repetitiveness of this method was determined. The peripheral blood samples from 14 CML patients, one of whom before and one month after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and 4 cases of ALL in the early stages were detected.

RESULTSThe sensitivity of FQ-RT-PCR for detecting bcr/abl fusion gene was about 10(-5) micro g RNA from K562 cell and 10 copies recombined plasmid. The repetition CT value (cycle threshold) and the coefficient variation (CV) among tubes and batches were 2.0% and 3.7%, respectively. The median bcr/abl fusion gene expression level of 14 CML patients was 5.15 x 10(4) copies/ micro g RNA. The products analyzed by electrophoresis showed that 11 cases were b2a2 and 3 cases b3a2. 1.2 x 10(5) copies/ micro g RNA in one CML patient before BMT was changed to 2.3 x 10(3) copies/ micro g RNA one month after BMT. B2a2 was observed in one of the four (25.0%) patients with ALL, and its level of expression was 8.2 x 10(5) copies/ micro g RNA.

CONCLUSIONThe established FQ-RT-PCR method is sensitive, specific, reliable, accurate and good at repetitiveness. The results expressed in copies were easy for evaluation and comparation. Two different bcr/abl fusion gene form - b2a2, b3a2 can be detected by the method. It can be widely applied to diagnosis and detection of minimal residual disease for CML and some ALL patients.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the pathogenic variants and clinical classification of two fetuses with Short-rib thoracic dysplasia with or without polydactyly (SRTD). METHODS: With informed consent obtained, the phenotypic characteristics of the fetuses were comprehensively examined, and genomic DNA was extracted from fetal skin tissue and peripheral blood samples of the parents with conventional phenol-chloroform method. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out on both fetuses, and the candidate variants were validated by Sanger sequencing. The pathogenicity of the candidate variants was analyzed using bioinformatic software VarCards, and the impact of the variants on the protein structure was predicted with Swiss-Pdb-viewer. RESULTS: Both fetuses were found to harbor compound heterozygous variants of the DYNC2H1 gene, including c.515C>A (p.Pro172Gln) and c.5983G>A (p.Ala1995Thr) in fetus 1, and c.5920G>T (pGly1974) and c.9908T>C (p.He3303Thr) in fetus 2. The parents of both fetuses were heterozygous carriers. CONCLUSION The compound heterozygous variants of the DYNC2H1 gene probably underlay the SRTD3 in the two fetuses.

Placental implantation disorders (PAS) have become the main cause of postpartum hemorrhage and perinatal hysterectomy. The risk of placental implantation surgery is high. It is important to conduct screening and diagnosis of high-risk patients with PAS, promptly refer patients with severe PAS, choose appropriate surgical opportunities, form a multidisciplinary team, conduct reliable preoperative evaluation and sufficient preoperative preparation, develop reasonable surgical plans and rescue plans, and have experienced doctors perform the surgery to minimize the risk. Standardized management of clinical diagnosis and treatment for patients will help improve pregnancy outcomes, reduce hysterectomy rates, and reduce severe complications and mortality rates in pregnant and postpartum women.
