Objective To analyze the prognostic value of vascular endothelial growth factor in acute leukemia .Methods 73 pa-tients with acute leukemia as the leukemia group and 80 patients as the control group were selected .The serum and bone marrow tissue taken by puncture biopsy of posterior superior iliac spine of the leukemia group were collected The serum of the control group was collected and compared .The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor was detected by immunohistochemistry .Results The acute leukemia patients with positive and negative serum VEGF or with positive and negative bone marrow VEGF were fol-lowed .The positive expression of serum VEGF was found in 19 recurrent cases of acute myeloid leukemia (57 .58% ) and the nega-tive expression of serum VEGF was found in 1 recurrent cases (20 .00% ) .The recurrence rate in patients with positive serum VEGF was higher than that in patients with negative serum VEGF ,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05);the positive expression of serum VEGF was found in 16 recurrent cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (51 .62% );the positive expres-sion of bone marrow VEGF was found in 17 recurrent cases of acute myeloid leukemia and 17 recurrent cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia respectively (48 .57% ) .The serum VEGF level and the bone marrow VEGF were measured on follow-up one year after treatment ,which showed the levels of recurrent cases of acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia were all higher than those of Remission patients ,and the difference was statistically significant (P< 0 .01) .Conclusion The levels of VEGF in blood and bone marrow cells can be highly expressed in the initial treatment and recurrence of acute leukemia ,especially in the re-lapsed condition ,the expression level is higher ,but the expression level is significantly decreased in the remission state .Increased expression of VEGF in blood and bone marrow cells may help to predict an increased risk of recurrence .

ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and efficacy of using the hepatoduodenal ligament tension-reduced operation (tension-reduced operation in short) for iatrogenic bile duct injury where the bile duct was severely defective. MethodsBetween March 2006 and May 2009, the authors treated 6 patients with iatrogenic bile duct injury (Bismuth type Ⅱ : 5 patients and type Ⅲ : 1 patient). A no. 7 black silk thread was used to hold the hilar plate tissues and the seromuscular layer of the bulbous part of the duodenum closer together and knots were tied. This method brought the porta hepatis and the duodenal bulb closer together and the hepatoduodenal ligament was shortened. An end to end anastomosis could then be made between the two broken ends of the defective bile duct without tension. ResultsSix patients suffered from bile duct injury and they recovered fully after the tensionreduced operation. There was no complication on follow-up. ConclusionsThe tension-reduced operation was efficacious in the treatment of iatrogenic bile duct injury. This technique should be popularized and more widely used.

OBJECTIVETo assess the application value in prenatal diagnosis using karyotype analysis combined with BACs-on-Beads (BoBs) assay.

METHODSNine hundred sixty five pregnant women were subjected to amniocentesis, chromosomal karyotype analysis and detection of BoBs were employed simultaneously for abnormal number of chromosomes and 9 chromosome microdeletion syndrome in prenatal diagnosis.

RESULTSFifty cases common chromosome aneupoidies were successfully detected by both karyotype analysis and BoBs which included 31 cases of trisomy 21,10 cases of trisomy 18 and 9 cases with sex chromosome abnormality. BoBs in addition detected 1 case of DiGeorge-1 microdeletion syndrome and 1 case of 7q11.23 microduplication syndrome. All 9 fetuses with chromosome abnormalities detected by karyotyping were missed by BoBs, including 2 cases of marker chromosomes,4 cases of chromosomal translocation,1 case of chromosomal inversion, 2 cases of Sex chromosome mosaicism; 2 cases of fetal inherited from the parents,7 cases for novel mutations.

CONCLUSIONKaryotype analysis combined with BoBs dedtection is a rapid, effective and highly accurate prenatal diagnosis model that may should be widely used in clinical diagnosis.

Objective:To evaluate the systemic absorption and safety of multiple doses of topical tazarotene/betamethasone dipropionate cream in healthy subjects and patients with psoriasis.Methods:From September 2008 to April 2009, 12 healthy subjects collected from Hospital for Skin Diseases, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College were randomly and equally divided into tazarotene 0.15%/betamethasone dipropionate 0.15% cream group and tazarotene 0.2%/betamethasone dipropionate 0.2% cream group; these subjects were instructed to apply 0.03 g of the test drug per day on each of the 4 body sites, including the flexor aspects of bilateral forearms, waist and back, for 7 consecutive days, and venous blood samples were obtained before, and 1, 3, 5 and 7 days after the start of drug application. From October 2010 to August 2011, 60 patients with non-cephalic psoriasis collected from the Hospital for Skin Diseases, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College were randomly divided into 3 groups at a ratio of 3∶1∶1, i.e., tazarotene 0.05%/betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% cream group ( n = 36) and tazarotene 0.05% gel group ( n = 12) topically treated with a cream vehicle in the morning and the test drug at night, and betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% cream group ( n = 12) topically treated with the test drug twice a day (once in the morning and again in the evening) ; the treatment lasted 6 consecutive weeks, and venous blood samples were collected before, and 2, 4 and 6 weeks after drug application. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was performed to determine the concentrations of tazarotenic acid and betamethasone in plasma. During the trial, adverse events in the subjects were recorded, routine blood and urine examinations were carried out, and liver and kidney function were evaluated before and after treatment. Results:The plasma concentrations of tazarotenic acid and betamethasone in the 12 healthy subjects were below the lower limit of quantitation (0.04 μg/L) after 1-, 3-, 5- and 7-day treatment. After the consecutive treatment, tazarotenic acid and betamethasone were detected in 2 (5.56%) and 4 (11.11%) patients respectively at week 2, 4 or 6 in the tazarotene 0.05%/betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% cream group, and the highest plasma concentrations of tazarotenic acid and betamethasone were 0.112 and 0.201 μg/L respectively; in the betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% cream group, betamethasone was detected in 2 of 12 patients, and the highest plasma concentration of betamethasone was 0.112 μg/L. No test drug-related systemic adverse reactions or laboratory abnormalities were observed in any of the healthy subjects or patients.Conclusion:Multiple doses of topical tazarotene/betamethasone dipropionate cream has advantages of little systemic absorption, no long-term accumulation and good systemic safety.
