Objective The K-ras gene plays a major role in the development , progression, and drug selection for the target treatment of colorectal cancer .The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of detecting K-ras mutation in colorectal cancer by high-resolution melting ( HRM) analysis and to investigate the relationship between K-ras mutation and the clinicopathological parame-ters of colorectal cancer. Methods We collected the tissue samples of colorectal cancer from 179 patients, detected the mutations in codons 12 and 13 of the K-ras gene, and analyzed the relationship between K-ras mutation and the clinicopathological parameters of the patients. Results In the 179 cases of colorectal cancer, K-ras mutation was found in 77 (43.02%), significantly higher in those aged ≥60 years than in those aged <60 years (55.17% vs 33.70%, P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed a significant influence of age on K-ras mutation (OR=1.506, 95%CI:1.028-2.011, P<0.05). Conclusion HRM analysis is a rapid, sensitive, and inexpensive diagnostic tool for the detection of K-ras mutation, and K-ras mutation is associated with the age of colorectal cancer patients .

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) under laparoscope. Methods The gonadotropin was adopted to induce superovulation and the spermatic fluid was managed with the swim-up method. After oviums were dislodged by puncture under laparoscope, gametes were transplanted by intubating the fallopian tube. Results Among a total of 19 patients, 4 were pregnant, the pregnancy rate being 21.1% (4/19). Three women had a delivery at term and 1 had an abortion. No serious complications were seen. Of the 15 unfertilized patients, normal pregnancy was observed within 6 months after surgery in 5 patients, the circle pregnancy rate being 5.6% (5/89). Conclusions GIFT under laparoscope is a practical assisted reproductive technique (ART) that may achieve a relatively high pregnancy rate. Some other pelvic diseases resulting in infertility can be treated simultaneously, which contributes to natural fertilization in the future.

Objective To investigate the efficacy by inoculated with hepatitis B immunoglobulin(HBIG) and hepatitis B vaccine in dif-ferent doses and time points to prevent maternal-infant vertical transmission of hepatitis B virus(HBV).Methods Gravidas positive for HBV were selected and measured HBV DNA,according to difference HBV DNA degrees divided into A,B,C groups.Every group was randomly divided into 4 groups using a variety of combined immunity methods to compare its efficacies.Results There were no significant differences in the positive rate of HBV and HBsAb in A,B groups by statistics analysis.There were significant differences in the positive rate of HBV and HBsAb in group C by statistics analysis.Conclusion According to the different HBV DNA take different combined immunodeficiency approach to prevent maternal-infant vertical transmission.

Objective To evaluate the emergency repair method and its effect for treatment of extensive avulsion injury of the lower extremity in the elderly patients.Methods From May 2008 to February 2015,11 patients aged over 60 years sustaining large avulsion injury (across the knee or ankle joint) of the lower limb in traffic crushes were treated by emergency debridement and one-stage repair with the procedures of autologous skin replantation,arteriovenous anastomosis and vacuum sealing drainage (VSD).Two patients sustained injury to both lower limbs,and nine patients sustained a unilateral injury.Effect of wound repair was evaluated with skin flap survival area.Active and passive motility of the knee and ankle were recorded at postoperative 24 h.Results One patient with multiple fracture and extensive muscular inactivity due to severe crush injury to the lower limbs had poor blood supply after the replantation and was amputated at postoperative 24 h.The remaining ten patients with large skin avulsion showed 90％ of the avulsed skin survived after operation.At the follow-up of 3-24 months,the ten patients showed no obvious pigmentation or scar tissue,were satisfied with the function recovery in knee (106°-110° in flexion and 0°-5°in extension) and ankle joint (15°-20°in dorsiflexion and 30°-35° in plantar flexion),and could walk freely,including excellence outcomes in 3 patients and good outcomes in 6 patients.Conclusion The emergency repair methods including autologous skin replantation,arteriovenous anastomosis and VSD combined with one-stage in situ repair can attain satisfactory clinical effect.

Objective To determine risk factors of environment and lifestyles involved in acute hematology departments of 29 secondary-care and tertiary-care hospitals in Shanghai. There were 206 hospitalized patients with de novo AML during June 2003 to April 2007 meeting the diagnostic criteria for AML by the World Health Organization, excluding those with definite history of radiotherapy or chemotherapy, and 412 age- and gender-matched controls with non-hematological other diseases from the same hospitals. All the participants were interviewed face-to-face using a standard structured questionnaire,including personal medical history, family medical history, history of medications, traditional Chinese herb medicines, exposure to occupational hazards, lifestyle factors, etc. in the past five years prior to onset of the disease. Conditional univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for AML. Results Logistic regression analysis showed that taking traditional Chinese herb medicine might be a protective factor for AML, with an odds ratio (OR) of 0. 39 and its 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0. 16-0. 98. Potential risk factors for AML included history of diabetes and taking hypoglycemic agents ( OR: 1.39, 95% CI: 0.67 -2. 87), occupational exposure to metal ( OR: 1.73, 95% CI: 0. 77 -3. 91 ), glue, paint and other coating materials, etc. ( OR: 1.72, 95% CI: 0. 93 - 3.2), raising animals (OR: 1.33, 95% CI: 0. 79 -2. 24). No association of living within a distance of 100 meters from high voltage power transmission lines, home renovation and decoration in the past year, hair dyeing, smoking,alcohol drinking with AML in adults was found. Conclusions Factors mentioned above such as occupational exposure to metal, glue, paint and other coating materials potentially increase risk for AML in adults,however taking traditional Chinese herb medicine is possibly a protective factor for it.
