Bone marrow cell morphology is the important part of the course of clinical hema-tology and laboratory and is the difficult and key part in the practice teaching of this course. In order to let students better grasp the basic skills, teachers should flexibly use multiple teaching methods of comparison type, communication type, heuristic type, medical record type and PBL type, which will greatly improve the teaching quality of hematology practice teaching.

Objective: To study the clinical features of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) in order to facilitate cognition of the disease. Methods: Clinical data of 42 patients clinically and/or histologically diagnosed with PBC were reviewed. Anti mitochondrial antibody (AMA) negative/positive patients as well as the patients who were/were not associated with Sj?gren Syndrome (SS) were compared in terms of clinical, biochemical and immunological features. Results: Among the 42 patients, 78.6%(33/42) of the cases were females; the mean age at diagnosis was (61.1?10.8) years. The most frequent symptoms were fatigue. Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), ?-glutamyltranspeptidase (?-GT) and total bile acid (TBA) levels were markedly elevated in the majority of the patients, whereas ALT and AST levels were mildly to moderately elevated. Thirty-one patients had a total bilirubin (TBil) level above normal. The levels of TBil and prothrombin time had positive correlationship with years of the course (P=0.000, r=0.696; P=0.005, r=0.424), whereas serum albumin level had negative correlationship with years of the course (P=0.002, r=-0.462). Thirty-seven patients had elevated serum IgM and 34 patients were AMA/AMA-M2 positive. AMA negative and AMA positive patients were similar in terms of clinical manifestations and liver biochemistries findings. Serum IgM and IgA levels were significantly lower, whereas total cholesterol level was higher in AMA negative patients when compared with AMA positive cases. Fifteen cases were associated with SS, which were similar in terms of clinical, biochemical and immunological features when compared with the PBC patients were not associated with SS. Conclusion: PBC is mostly found in middle aged and old women. Elevated serum ALP, TBA and ?-GT levels together with positive AMA/AMA-M2 can help to diagnose PBC. AMA negative PBC patients are characterized by relatively lower serum IgM and IgA levels and higher total cholesterol level. PBC patients who are associated with SS have not substantial differences in the clinical, biochemical and immunological spectra of the disease.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of NSR siRNA on nerve regeneration following spinal cord hemi-transsection injury in rats. Methods Rats with T8 spinal cord hemi-trans-section were didded into 3 groups, ie, siRNA group, NS group and control group. SiRNA or NS was in-jected into lateral cerebral ventricle just after spinal cord injury. The therapeutic effect of NgR siRNA was evaluated by using BBB locomotor rating scale, retrograde horseradish peroxidase(HRP)tracing and HE staining. Results BBB locomotor rating scale showed that the recovery of the locomotor function of siRNA group seemed to be better than that of the other two groups from the 4th week, but there was no statistical difference. Retrograde HRP tracing showed a large number of positive cells in the anterior horn of spinal cord, with statistical difference compared with NS group and control group(P<0. 05). Eight weeks after spinal injury, HE staining showed disorderly distribution of the fibres in NS group and control group but serial fibres in the injury region in siRNA group. Conclusion NSR siRNA may promote the nerve regeneration following spinal cord injury.

Objective To study the cytogenetic features of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and analyze the association with cytogenetic features and early responses after induction therapy.Methods The karyotypes of 395 patients who had been newly diagnosed with AML were analyzed.These patients were divided into three groups (low-risk,intermediate-risk and high-risk),according to the AML NCCN guidelines.The incidence of different karyotypes in these three groups and the complete remission (CR) rate after the first cycle of induction therapy were analyzed.Results The incidence rates of karyotypes in high-risk,intermediate-risk and low-risk groups were 50.56 ％ (180/356),39.89 ％ (142/356),9.55 ％ (34/356),respectively.All patients with t(15;17) who completed induction therapy reached CR.There was significant difference in the CR rates of t(8;21) groups with or without additional karyotypes [92.00 ％(23/25) vs 50.00 ％(11/22)] (x2 =10.317,P =0.001).There was no significant difference in the CR rates between normal and-Y karyotype group [61.90 ％ (39/63) vs 58.82 ％ (10/17)] (x2 =0.054,P =0.817).Complex cytogenetics ascribed to the low-risk group,of which monosomal karyotype was common,nine of ten patients with monosomal karyotype were associated with an inferior CR rate.Conclusion The cytogenetic features of AML are different from previous reports by other centers.The cytogenetic features of AML patients not only influence the long-term survival,but also the CR rates of induction therapy.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and relationship of cognitive function and resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF)in childhood and adolescence-first-onset obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD).Methods Twenty-four childhood and adolescence-first-onset OCD patients (patient group) and thirty-three age/gender/education-matched healthy controls (healthy control group) were enrolled in this study.The participants' cognitive function was tested with trail making test (TMT),symbol coding,Hopkins verbal learning test-revised (HVLT-R),brief visuospatial memory test-revised (BVMT-R),verbal fluency test (VF),digital span test,maze test and Stroop test.Then a resting-state fMRI scan was conducted for each participant.Amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation approach was used to explore the differences of resting-state brain function between patients and controls,and analyze the significant brain regions by adopting t test.The cognitive functions of patients and healthy control group in the significant brain regions were compared by using Pearson correlation analysis.Results The patient group had lower scores than healthy control group in symbol coding,BVMT-R and digital span test,and the differences were statistically significant [(45.24 ± 10.32)scores vs.(56.85 ± 9.57) scores,(21.94 ± 6.99) scores vs.(30.58 ± 3.92) scores,(64.06 ± 20.00) scores vs.(78.03 ±18.08) scores;t =3.96,4.90,2.50;all P ＜ 0.05].Corrected by Alphasim,patient group showed significantly increased ALFF in the left and fight temporal lobe,left and fight posterior lobe of cerebellum,right middle temporal gyrus,but ALFF decreased in the area of left and right lenticula,left putamen compared with the healthy control group (all P ＜ 0.05).The patients group showed that TMT scores were positively correlated with the value of ALFF in the right temporal lobe (r =0.67),and color scores were positively correlated with the value of ALFF in the right middle temporal gyrus (r =0.53),but colour scores were negatively correlated with the value of ALFF in the right tcmporal lobe (r =-0.54);the healthy control group showed that BVMT-R and digital span test scores were positively correlated with the value of ALFF in the left temporal lobe (r =0.47,0.41),but digital span test scores were negatively correlated with the value of ALFF in the right temporal lobe (r =-0.49),and colour scores were negatively correlated with the value of ALFF in the left temporal lobe (r =-0.35),while word and color-word scores were negatively correlated with the value of ALFF in the right middle temporal gyrus (r =-0.39,-0.36);the correlation coefficient above had statistical significance (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The childhood and adolescence-first-onset OCD patients had cognitive impairment,including speed of processing,visual learning and memory,working memory;and the patients showed abnormal spontaneous neural activity at some brain regions.The cognitive dysfunction may be associated with abnormal spontaneous neuronal activity in childhood and adolescence-first-onset OCD.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of capsule endoscopy (CE) and CT virtual endoscopy (CTVE) for small intestinal diseases.Methods The data of 31 patients with suspected small bowel diseases who were examined by both CTVE and CE were collected.The diagnostic rates of CE and CTVE was compared by paired data McNemar test,using the diagnosis confirmed by surgery or follow-up as the golden standard.Results The confirmed diagnosis of 31 patients were small intestinal tumor in 16,nontumorous lesion in 10 and no abnormal lesion in 5.CE identified positive findings in 24 patients,including 14 cases of tumorous lesion (with mis-location in 2 and failure in definite diagnosis in 7) and 10 cases of non-tumorous lesion.CTVE identified positive findings in 17 patients,including 14 cases of tumorous lesion (with mis-location in 1 and failure in definite diagnosis in 4) and 3 cases of non-tumorous lesion.The combination of CE and CTVE could identified positive findings in 26 patients,including 16 tumorous and 10 nontumorous lesions.The diagnostic rates of CE and CTVE for tumorous lesions were both 87.5％ (14/16).The overall diagnostic rate of combined CE and CTVE was 83.9％ (26/31),which was significantly higher than that of CTVE alone (54.8％,17/31) but similar to that of CE alone (77.4％,24/31).Conclusion Both CE and CTVE are effective in diagnosis of small intestinal lesions and the combined use of 2 methods can increase diagnosis yield.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical benefits of early right median nerve electrical stimulation on coma patients following craniocerebral trauma. MethodsCraniocerebral trauma patients with up to two weeks of coma in the years 2005-2011 were involved in the study and were randomly divided into control group (received routine management ) and treatment group (routine management plus right median nerve electrical stimulation).The treatment lasted for a period of more than two weeks.The clinical efficacy of the right median nerve electric stimulation and the conscious status of the patients within six months after craniocerebral trauma were observed.ResultsA total of 456 patients were enrolled in the study,of whom 437 patients completed the treatment course,including 221 patients in the treatment group and 216 in the control group.There was no complication related to electric stimulation during the treatment.Cerebral blood flow (CBF) imaging and brain stem evoked potential (BEP) examination demonstrated significant improvement in the treatment group.A total of 386 patients were followed up for six months postoperatively,which showed that there were 122 patients with regained consciousness,46 in minimally conscious state and 36 in vegetative state in the treatment group (204 patients) and there were 84 patients with regained consciousness,40 in minimally conscious state and 58 in vegetative state in the control group ( 182 patients).The patients in the treatment group showed a higher ratio of regained consciousness and a lower ratio of vegetative state compared with the control group,but the ratio of minimally conscious state showed no statistical difference between two groups. ConclusionsRight median nerve electrical stimulation is a suitable coma awaking means at early stage after craniocerebral trauma.

Objective To screen the altered gene expression profile of hippocampus after traumatic brain injury(TBI)in rats. Methods Rats(n=3)in experimental group underwent moderate fluid-percussion(F-P)brain injury and the hippoeampus sample in the injured hemisphere was removed and conserved in liquid nitrogen three hours later.The rats(n=5)of the control group underwent the same procedure except for injury.Mfymetrix rat genome 230 2.0 array was used to detect the gene expression profile of hippocampus in two groups and find the altered gene expression profile. Results A total of 159 genes in the experimental group changed significantly(≥2 folds)compared with the control group,of which 136 genes were up-regulated and 23 genes down-regulated. Conclusions The significant gene expression changes of hippocampus,especially a large mount of up-regulated genes,are detected after moderate TBI in rats,suggesting that the secondary injury following TBI is a procedure involving multiple factors.
