BACKGROUND: Dystrophin gene is X-linkage recessive heredity nerve-muscle system disease. Dystrophin gene deletions cluster in two hotspot regions, comprising exons 2-20 and 44-53. The majority of deletions can be detected by examining only a subset of exons. However, little is known regarding systematic detection of 18 common deletion exons of dystrophin gene.OBJECTIVE: To obtain and identify the cloning of 18 deletion-prone exons of dystrophin gene.METHODS: A total of 18 fragments of dystrophin gene were obtained through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification with human genomic DNA as template and 18 pairs of primers respectively. The fragments were connected with pGEM-T Easy vector.The recombinants were transformed into E.coli JM109 competent cells, followed by planted on Luria-Bertani (LB)/ampicillin(Amp)/isopropylthio-β-D-galactoside(IPTG)/X-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-D-galactoside (X-Gal) plates and cultured.Positive transformants were selected with blue/white color screening, and the recombinant plasmids DNA was extracted and digested with restriction enzyme Not I. DNA sequences of the fragments were analyzed. Nucleotide analyses were performed through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Basic Local Alighment Search Tool (BLAST) against GenBank.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Size of the18 fragments by PCR amplification was in accordance with anticipation. Size of the fragments of recombinant cloning by Not I digestion was in accordance with that of PCR and expectation. Sequence size of the 18cloned fragments was in accordance with expectation. The cloned fragments have high homology with dystrophin gene through NCBI BLAST against GenBank. These cloned fragments were the main deletion-prone exons of dystrophin gene.

The existing doctor-patient communication pattern often falls prey to insufficient informed consent and even medical disputes. In the patient centered perspective, Zhejiang Provincial People′s Hospital explored a new communication mode centering on patients. Based on diagnosis-related groups catalogues and high-frequency surgeries catalogues of the departments, multimedia technology was called into play to produce dubbed PPTs and videos that were easy to understand, standardized and homogeneous, which were embedded into medical records system. Following observation of the PPT or video, patients could directly sign an informed consent on the computer. This practice not only deepens patient′s understanding and achieves homogeneous level of the communication, but also elevates doctor′s work efficiency, contributing to building a harmonious doctor-patient relationship.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between nutritional status and acute toxicity induced by concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with rectal cancer.Methods:A total of 115 patients with rectal cancer who underwent concurrent chemoradiotherapy in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from March 2018 to August 2019 were prospectively selected. Nutritional risk was assessed by NRS 2002 and PG-SGA nutritional screening tools before, during and after radiotherapy. The acute toxicity was assessed by RTOG and CTCAE 3.0 scoring criteria. The correlation between nutritional status and the acute toxicity of chemoradiotherapy was analyzed by Spearman′ s correlation analysis. Results:The nutritional risk of the cohort was gradually increased from the beginning of chemoradiotherapy to the fourth week of chemoradiotherapy, and then decreased gradually. Spearman′ s correlation analysis showed that NRS 2002 and PG-SGA scores were positively correlated with acute hematological toxicity ( r=0.26, P<0.05; r=0.31, P<0.01), upper gastrointestinal toxicity ( r=0.51, P<0.01; r=0.63, P<0.01), proctitis ( r=0.23, P<0.05; r=0.45, P<0.01) and fatigue ( r=0.47, P<0.01; r=0.64, P<0.01) in patients with rectal cancer undergoing chemoradiotherapy. The correlation coefficients between PG-SGA and various toxicities were higher than those of NRS 2002. Stratified analysis showed that patients with stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ B, age<65 years and postoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, nutritional status was significantly associated with the severity of toxicity (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with rectal cancer has a high risk of malnutrition during concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The higher the risk of malnutrition, the greater the acute toxicity of chemoradiotherapy. Therefore, dynamic nutrition assessment and nutritional support should be strengthened for rectal cancer patients during chemoradiotherapy.
