Objective To explore the clinical significance of the union between marrow smear and marrow biopsy in the myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS) diagnosis. Methods Bone marrow aspirate and smear were initially abtained, then bone tissues encircled drill and section at the same point which is called as. easy one-step technology to 86 MDS patients were analysed. Results In 86 cases of MDS patients, there were 30 cases of hyperplasia extreme degree of reduction by 34.88 %, 56 eases of active, obvious and extremely active active (65.12 %), 43 cases for red RCMD (50.00 %), 32 cases for the granulocyte dysplasia (37.21%), 22 cases for megakaryocyte RCMD (25.58 %) in bone marrow aspiration smears; compared with 15 cases of hyperplasia extreme degree of reduction and the reduction (17.44 %), 71 eases of active, obviously active and extremely active (82.56 %); 16 cases for red RCMD (18.61%), 52 cases for the granulocyte dysplasia (60.47 %), 56 cases for megakaryocyte RCMD (65.12 %) in bone marrow biopsy sections. 66 cases in 86 cases of bone marrow biopsy and bone marrow smear of WHO classification were in line with the rate of 76.74 %.Conclusion The biopsy slide and the puncture smear synchronization observation is more advantageous than the conventional puncture smear morphology observation and combining two method may increase the accuracy in the MDS diagnosis.

Objective To explore the inhibitory effect of anti-miRNA-17 oligonucleotide on leukemic K562 cells.Methods K562 cells were transfected with anti-miRNA-17 oligonucleotide,cell viability was analyzed by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetra-zoliunbromide (MTT) assay.Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry,expression of miRNA-17 in K562 cells was measured by real-time PCR.Results MTT results showed transfection of antisense nucleic acid significantly decreased cell proliferation activity,after 24,48,72 h they were respectively 0.8719±0.001,0.7102±0.002,0.5507±0.001,the difference being statistically significant (P < 0.05) when compared to the random control (t =182.575,269.77,660.4) or control group (t =537.98,571.20,1230.51).FCM test results showed that after 48 h of transfecting antisense nucleic acid apoptosis rate was (20.14 ± 0.01) %,and was statistically significant compared to the randomized control or blank control group (t =2347.6,2568.2,P < 0.01).Fluorescence real-time quantitative PCR confirmed antisense nucleic acid significantly decreased the relative expression level of miR-17 in K562 cells (0.07).The difference was statistically significant compared to the random group or blank group (1,1.01) (t =148.63,147.04,P < 0.05).Conclusion Targeted inhibition of miR-17 with oligonucleotide can suppress K562 cell growth and induce apoptosis.
