Objective: To compare the biotype and genetic similarity between groups of commensal and pathogenic strains of candida species. Methods:Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used to analyse the type of Candida albicans. Results: 12 pathogenic isolates of Candida albicans, 3 commensal isolates of Candida abicans and 3 isolates of pathogenic non-albicans were obtained. The similarity coefficient of albicans with non-albicans was 51.7% by RAPD. Intra-candida similarity coefficient was more than 70%. Both the commensal and pathogenic isolates showed the genetically similar to C. albicans. Intro-isolate DNA polymorphism was observed by RAPD. Conclusion: Both the commensal and pathogenic groups contain a major cluster of genetically similar C. albicans isolates.

Objective To investigate the effect of health management on hypertension control.Methods Patients with high blood pressure and hypertensive risk factors were selected from two communities in Suzhou City of Jiangsu Province.The subjects were then randomly assigned to 2 groups(63 in each group).One group received comprehensive health management for the prevention and treatment of hypertension,and the other group received traditional anti-hypertensive treatment.Systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),and medicine cost were compared at 1 year.Results In the health management group,blood pressure and its related risk factors were effectively controlled,and the mean SBP or DBP was(130.06 ± 17.51)mm Hg or(81.81 ± 8.75)mm Hg(1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa),respectively.The cost of anti-hypertensive medicine of the health management group was largely decreased.Conclusion General health management shows a better anti-hypertensive effect than traditional therapy.

OBJECTIVE To discuss the application of tachypleus amebocyte lysate test in transfusion reaction. METHODS Based on agglutination when tachypleus amebocyte lysate test encountered bacterial endotoxin, the quantity of the bacterial endotoxin was tested. RESULTS Twenty-three cases were analyzed with tachypleus amebocyte lysate test, the main reasons were excessive pyrogen, improper combined drug compatibility, excessive agents or unqualified pyrogen of the agent added, pollutions on transfusion devices and air in the treatment room, disobeying axenic operation rules, overlong drug dispensing, too fast transfusion speed, etc. CONCLUSIONS On prevention of transfusion reaction, all the axenic operation rules should be strictly followed, single dose transfusion, to reduce transfusion reaction.

Objective To analyse the fusion genes derived from chromosome structural aberrations in acute myeloid leukemia(AML) and the relationship between fusion genes and the MICM classification, clinical diagnosis, chemotherapy and prognosis. Methods The expression of fusion gene in bone marrow samples was detected with multiplex RT-PCR technique and chromosome karyotypes, immunological phenotypes and clinical data were analyzed in 60 acute myeloid leukemia newly diagnosed. Results 37 cases(61.67 %) of 60 patients carried 5 kinds of fusion genes consisting of MLL-AF9, TLS-ERG, CBFβ-MYH1, AML1-ETO and PML-RARα. The activation of oncogene HOX11 was detected in 13 AML cases, three of them with other chromosome aberration simultaneously.23 cases of 31 patients carrying AML1-ETO or PML-RARα, reached complete remission(CR) after chemotherapy and without relapse. Conclusion Gene typing is the most precise classification method that can direct clinical treatment and evaluate prognosis. Multiplex RT-PCR technique, which can quickly screen 29 kinds of fusion gene derived from chromosome structural aberrations at one time, maybe helpful to improve M1CM classification and guide the choice of treatment.

Objective To explore the deletion of chromosome 13 in multiple myeloma (MM), clinical significance of FISH-defined partial deletion chromosome 13 in MM patients were investigate. Methods Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH ) was performed on bone marrow from 38 patients with MM to study the deletion of Rb-1 gene and locus 13q14 on chromosome 13. Fisher exact propability was used to study the relations between partial deletion of chromosome 13 and clinical features. Results 20 out of the 38 cases were found with deletion of chromosome 13; deletion of Rb-1 gene in 4 cases; deletion of locus 13q14 in 2 out of 38 cases; and 14 cases with both of deletions. Fisher exact propability showed that deletion of chromosome 13 was associated with hypso-serum lactic dehydrogenase, stage of ISS. Conclusion Deletion of Rb-1 gene and locus 13q14 were both common cytogenetic changes in MM patients with effect on the biological behavior of the disease, but the value of del (13q14) in MM needs further investigation. FISH was a rapid, accurate and sensitive technique in the analysis of del (13q14) in MM.

Objective To detect expression of TEL-AML1 fusion genes in pediatric cases with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL) and discuss the role of reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) in detection of t(12 ;21) and the clinical significance. Methods TEL-AML1 fusion gene was identified in bone marrow munonuclear cells from 31 newly diagnosed childhood ALL patients by NRT-PCR, FISH and conventional cytogenetic analysis (CCA). Results TEL-AML1 fusion gene was found in 7 out of 31 cases, accounting for 22.6 % in pediatric ALL, and 7 out of 31 cases accounting for 25.9 % in B-ALL Seven cases were found with t (12;21) by FISH and NRT-PCR. The incidence of the t(12;21) was 22.6 % in newly diagnosed pediatric ALLs. Conclusion It is concluded that TEL-AML1 rearrangement is a frequent molecular abnormality in childhood ALL. t(12;21) is the most common cytogenetic translocations in Chinese pediatric ALLs, but it is always difficult to identify by routine CCA.Other molecular methods, e.g. NRT-PCR and FISH are powerful in detecting such a critical genetic translocation.

[Objective]To study effect of pain and stress response of NiTi rotary instrument for children with root canal therapy , and analyzed possible mechanisms.[Methods]60 cases(60 teeth)children with Dental pulp disease or root tip disease by root canal therapy from March 2015 to March 2017 were divided into observation group and control group. The control group used Hand NiTi en-larging file,observation group used NiTi rotary instruments,then root canal preparation,stress response,pain,filling effect and long-term efficacy were compared between two groups.[Result]The observation group root canal preparation time were significantly shorter than control group(P < 0.01),root canal deviation etc morphological changes(6.67%)was significantly lower than control group(26.67%,P < 0.05);gingival crevicular fluid TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β were significantly lower than control group(P < 0.05, P < 0.01). In root canal preparation,after root canal preparation,pain rate were significantly lower than control group(10.00% vs 33.33%,3.33% vs 23.33%,P < 0.05);1 week after surgery,just fill rate(93.33%)was significantly higher than control group (70.00%,P<0.05). Followed up 6 months,root canal success rate(90.00%)was significantly higher than control group(66.67%, P<0.05).[Conclusion]NiTi rotary instruments help to reduce the pain in children with root canal,improve clinical efficacy,May be related to inhibition of surgical stress response.

Objective To investigate ATM deletion [del (ATM)] in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and study its correlation with the clinical stage. Methods Spectrum Orange~(TM) labeled sequence specific DNA probe for ATM locus on 11q22.3 and fluorescence in Situ hybridization (FISH) was used to examine del (ATM) in 28 newly diagnose patients with CLL. FISH analysis were performed on bone marrow smears. Clinical staging was done according to Binet Method.Fisher exact propability was used to study the relations between del (ATM) and clinical feature. Results 4 out of the 28 cases were found with deletion of ATM. The incidence of del (ATM) in BinetA, BinetB and BinetC was 1/9 (11.1 %), 1/8 (12.5 %), 2/11 (18.2 %), respectively. Fisher exact propability showed that deletion of ATM was not associated with its clinical feature. Conclusion Application of FISH on archival bone marrow smears is a simple, liable method, and can be readly used to retrospective study of clonal blood system diseases. Deletion of ATM was common cytogenetic changes in CLL patients.And the significance of del (ATM) in the prognosis of CLL in China needs to be further investigated.
