1.Surveillance of minimal residual disease in acute B-lineage lymphoblastic leukemia
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2013;22(4):248-250
Minimal residual disease (MRD) is the cause of relapse in leukemia,and its dynamic monitoring has been a hotspot yet proven to be difficult.MRD in acute B-lineage lymphoblastic leukemia has its own characteristics,normal bone marrow produces a large number of B precursor cells,easily mistaken for leukemia cells,and there were no specific gene alterations that can be conveniently detected.This paper summarizes the antibody combinations in flow cytometry,timing for surveillance and polymerase chain reaction for gene detection,and provide a reference for B lymphocytic leukemia MRD monitoring.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of chemotherapy on mitochondria ultrarnicrostructure and stereological characteristic of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (MC) and serous cystadenocarcinoma (SC) and to investigate clinical significance and possible mechanism of chemotherapy on two cystadenocarcinoma.MethodsThe ultramicrostructure changes of mitochondrion were observed with electronic microscope and the stereological changes and its interrelation of volume density (Vv), surface density (Sv) and ratio of surface density(Rsv,μm-1)of mitochondria of the cells in ovarian carcinoma were studied and compared with the normal control. ResultsElectron microscope reveals that the mitochondria swelling and cristae disorganizing were seen in ovarian carcinoma.The Vv(0.072±0.059)and Sv(0.057±0.040)of MC mitochondria were decreased markedly(P =0.004 and P =0.029, respectively), while its Rsv (0.891 ±0.400) μm-1 increased obviously (P =0.015); but the Vv and Sv of mitochondria of the SC cells were increased markedly (0.267±0.12,P =0.001 and 0.122±0.057,P =0.003,respectively).After chemotherapy,cancer cells mitochondrion Sv elevated significantly (0.060±0.037, P = 0.053), showing a similar MC mitochondria of variability. Conclusion Therearedifferentcharacteristicsintheultramicrostructureandstereologicalcharacteristicinthe mitochondria of two types ovarian carcinoma. Effects of chemotherapy may be associated with the ameliorate of construction and function of ovary cells.

To explore the influences of pregnancy and iodine intake on thyroid function and immune functions, 210 pregnant women and 290 fertile women were chosen from iodine excess area, and the average ages of them were (27. 69±4. 73 )and (30. 62±6. 01 )years respectively. Fasting blood and urine were collected in the morning. The urinary iodine level was determined by arsenic-cerium catalytic contact. Serum free triiodothyronine ( FT3 ), free thyroxine ( FT4 ), and sensitive thyroid-stimulating hormone ( sTSH ) levels were measured by chemiluminescence.Thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb)and thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb)were measured by radioimmunoassay. The median urinary iodine in the pregnant and fertile women were I 240. 70 and 949. 21 μg/L, respectively. There were 84. 3% pregnant women and 81.0% fertile women admitting excess iodine intake. The prevalence of overall thyroid diseases was 22. 9% in the pregnant women and 30. 3% in the fertile women. The prevalence of hyperthyroidism,subclinical hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and subclinical hypothyroidism was0. 5%, 1.9%, 0. 5%, and 20. 0% in the former group, and 2. 8%, 0. 3%, 0. 3%, and 26. 9% in the latter. Both FT3 and FT4 levels of the pregnant women were lower than those of fertile women [(4. 03±0. 59 vs 4. 71 ± 1.04)pmol/L, ( 13. 35 ± 1.59 vs 14. 27 ±3.63 )pmol/L,both P<0. 01], and the positive rate of TGAb of pregnant women was also lower than that of fertile women (7. 1% vs14. 1%, P=0. 014). The prevalence of thyroid diseases and positive rate of thyroid autoantibodies is high in women with excess iodine intake. Compared with fertile women, pregnancy may lead to decreas~s in level of thyroid hormones and positive rate of TGAb. Their iodine intake should be controlled, and the thyroid function and autoimmunity antibodies should be monitored.

Objective To study the feasibility, safety and clinical application value of LRH, comparing with abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) . Methods A total of 80 patients' clinical data were collected to analyze the development of LRH in Yunnan Tumor Hospital while compared with another 40 patients between June 2012 to June 2013 of ARH for some associative indexes. Results The patients were divided into group A and B equally.Compared with Grope A, the time of operation decreased 26.9%, 37.2% has been augment for lymph gland sweeping, the amount of bleeding and intraoperative complication reduced 37.3% and 7.5% in Grope D, respectively, with distinctive difference ( >0.05) .Hospitalization expenses had a small degree reduced but no distinctive difference.The learning curve of LRH was 40 approximately.Comparison between LRH and ARH in the same period showed that LRH was more splendid than ARH in several index.1 case relapsed in 2-48 months follow-up in ARH while no relapse in the other group. Conclusion LRH is safe and feasible and has good prospects in clinical application and deserves clinical generalization because of its advantages such as less trauma,less pains, quick recovery,less scars and aesthetical appearance.
