The biggest highlight in the 55th ASH annual meeting is a series of revolutionary progress in the field of diagnosis,pathogenesis,prediction,prognosis and minimal residue disease (MRD) of malignant blood diseases guiding with next generation of sequencing (NGS) techniques.This article will share the major contents of 7 papers using NGS techniques in the ASH annual meeting with domestic readers here.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of hypertrophic scar formation in different age periods.Methods:The expression of type I and type Ⅲ collagen of hypertrophic scar in different age periods was measured with immunohistochemistry which was divided into two groups 1～19 years old and 20～50 years old,and the same measure was adopted in normal skin divided into four groups-fetal,1～19,20～50,and more than 60 years old .The quantities of type I and type Ⅲ collagen and the ratios were analyzed.Results:①The ratio of type Ⅰ/type Ⅲcollagen of normal skin had a guadually increasing tendency.②The ratio of type Ⅰ/type Ⅲ collagen of HTS was increasing compared with normal skin(NS),and relative quantities of type I collagen of HTS was significantly increasing.The ratio of type Ⅰ/type Ⅲcollagen of HTS in group of 1～19 year old was highter than that in the group of 20～50 year old .Conclusion:Normal structure of the skin is decided by quantities and ratio of type I and type Ⅲ collagen.The formation of hypertrophic scar in different age periods relates to maladjustment of the ratio of type I and type Ⅲ collagen.Collagen synthesis and regulation of its constitute are finished after about six months.They keep relatively stable within 6 month to 2～3 years.

Objective: To find out a better technique of auricular reconstruction with Medpor framework for children to obtain better appearance of the reconstructed ear.Methods: The reconstructed ear was implanted by Medpor framework,which was covered by temporal superfacial fascia flap with superfacial temporal arteria.Skin flap of leftover ear covered rear of reconstructed ear,full thick skin graft covered one of obverse side,and infra-leftover ear was modified as auricularlobule.Results: Postoperative follow-up was as long as 24 months.All 12 patients obtained better appearance of the reconstructed ears than those of the operation in earlier period.Conclusion: The modified auricular reconstruction would be a better choice for the children with congenital lack of auricle or hypoplasia of auricle.

Objective:To construct the pEGFP-C2-hKGF vector,a neukaryotic expression plasmid of hKGF gene in order to provide experimental material for the studies of hKGF gene function and hKGF gene therapy afterward.Methods:The hKGF gene was amplified by reverse transcriptage polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Total RNA was extracted from human embryo lung fibroblast(HLF)and then cloned into pMD18-T vector.The recombinant plasmid were screened and extracted.The pEGFP-C2-hKGF vector,an eukaryotic expression plasmid of hKGF gene was constructed after the object hKGF cDNA fragment was inserted into pEGFP-C2 vector and the recombinant were screened,cloned and extracted.The recombinant plasmid vector was transferred into AEC II,and expression of hKGF was assayed by immunohistochemistry.The effect of AEC II proliferation was analyzed by cell count.Results:609bp DNA fragment containing hKGF gene and restriction sites were obtained by RT-PCR.After cloned by pMD18-T vector and certified by restriction analysis and sequencing,pEGFP-C2-hKGF vector was successfully constructed by means of recombinant DNA technology.pEGFP-C2-hKGF encoding the green fluorescent protein(GFP),capable of directing the expression of functional hKGF successfully.Furthermore,hKGF had the effect on AEC II proliferation.Conclusion:The efficient expression vector of hKGF gene is constructed,which can be used to establish the hKGF gene therapy vector.

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA), which affects 1% to 5% of women of reproductive age, is difficult to treat in the clinical setting. In the investigations of iramunopathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of RSA since the late 1980s, it was found that RSA was associated with abnormal maternal local or systemic immune response, the pathogenesis of autoimmune RSA was mainly associated with antiphosphlipid antibody (APA), while that of alloimmune RSA was due to the disturbance of maternofetal immunological tolerance. Systemic etiological screening process and diagnosis systems of RSA with immune type were developed, and anticardiolipin (ACL) + β_2-GP1 combining multiple assay for effective diagnosis of RSA with immune type was initially established. According to dynamic monitoring clinical parameters before and during gestation, low-dose, short-course and individual immunosuppressive therapy and lymphocyte immunotherapy for RSA. With immune type were initiated. The outcomes of the offsprings of patients with RSA were followed up, and the safety and validity of the therapies were confirmed. The research achievement leads to great progress in the diagnosis and treatment of RSA in China.

In this year,ASH annual meeting reported several new targeting therapeutic drugs for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and a part of lymphoma.Those drugs focus on some key targets in the signal transductional pathway of B cells.Although these targeting drugs individually did not improve the complete remission rate of CLL,but several clinical trial results showed that the combination therapy of those drugs with other drugs significantly improved the efficacy of CLL,and prolonged the progression-free survival of CLL patients.Therefore,experts believe that combination therapy and sequential therapy will start a new era in the treatment of CLL.This paper will share only the latest advances in the treatment of CLL and parts of lymphoma with domestic readers.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the major topic in American Society Hematology (ASH)Annual Meeting and Exposition. There were 887 scientific articles on AML in the 53rd ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition in 2011,in which many studies focused on clinics.Here is introduction of o.ptimized regimens for AML and elderly AML,as well as targeted therapy for AML presented in the meeting.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most commom hematologic malignancy in adults.There are so many highlights in the 54th ASH annual meeting in the field of mechanism,diagnosis and treatment of AML.Especially many studies have identified genes close related to AML development,clones related to relapse and molecular marker for prognosis using next-generation sequencing (NGS).Minimal residual disease (MRD) assay has been used for evaluation of therapy efficacy and posttherapy prognostication in AML treatment.The tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting FLT3-ITD in this meeting is the best highlight in the treatment of refractory and relapsed AML.

Objective To analyze causes of complication of long bone fracture of inferior extremity treated with interlocking intramedullary nail,and put forward prophylaxis and treatment measures.Methods Retrospective research on 140 patients of long bone fracture of inferior extremity treated with interlocking intramedullary nail from Oct.2002 to Oct.2005,to find out post-operative complications and put forward prophylaxis and treatment measures.Results All fractures were bone union,and complications occurd in 25 patients.Conclusion Interlocking intramedullary nail is preferred surgery to long bone fracture of inferior extremity.
