Minimal residual disease (MRD) is one of the important variables to evaluate the outcomes of patients with leukemia, which is related to the relapse and survival of patients after treatment. This article summarizes the new progress on diagnosis and treatment of leukemia from the perspective of MRD in combination with some representative studies on MRD-based prognostic assessment and guidance on treatment options that were reported at the 62nd American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting.

60 yrs) were associated with a higher prevalence of malnutrition (47 6%) than those of 60 yrs and younger (31 5%) Malnutrition was more frequently encountered in cancer patients than other patients (64 5% vs 22 4%) Patients with digestive tract disease had higher rates of malnutrition than those without (52 6% vs 30 0%) FFM, FM, BCM, TBW and ICF was significantly lower in malnourished male and female patients than well nourished patients Conclusion The prevalence of malnutrition in hospitalized surgical patients is high

Objective To explore the application value of hemi-hepatic blood flow occlusion through descending hilar plate in laparoscopic anatomic hepatectomy.Methods The clinical data of 15 patients who underwent laparoscopic anatomic hepatectomy by hemi-hepatic blood flow occlusion using descending hilar plate technique at the First People's hospital of Foshan between August 2012 and May 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.The hilar plate was bluntly dissected to expose the left and right Glissonean pedicles.Either side of Glissonean pedicle was tied up with a turnable aspirator with a cotton rope or shoelace and then bypassed the back of hilar plate.Anatomic hepatectomy was performed when hemi-hepatic blood flow was occluded.The follow-up by telephone interview and outpatient examination was done till October 2014.Results Among the 15 patients,the conversion to open surgery was done in 1 patient,Pringle maneuver in 1 patient,and hemi-hepatic blood flow occlusion by descending the hilar plate in 14 patients.Thirteen patients received succesfully laparoscopic anatomic hepatectomy by hemi-hepatic blood flow occlusion using descending hilar plate technique,including 4 of left hemihepatectomy,4 of left lateral lobectomy,2 of right hemihepatectomy,1 of right posterior lobectomy,1 of segment Ⅳ hepatectomy and 1 of segment Ⅵ hepatectomy.Bile duct exploration was applied to 4 patients with left hepatic duct stones and T-tube was placed in 2 patients.Nine and 4 patients received left and right hemi-hepatic blood flow occlusion,respectively.The operation time,mean volume of intraoperative blood loss and time of hemi-hepatic blood flow occlusion in 13 patients were (196 ±63)minutes,320 mL (range,50-1 200 mL) and (51 ± 20)minutes,respectively.The time of descending the hilar plate in 14 patients was (10 ±4)minutes.Among the 13 patients,bile leakage was detected in 1 patient with a maximum volume of drainage of 120 mL/day,liver wound bleeding in 1 patient with a volume of abdominal bloodstained drainage of 400 mL at postoperative day 2.Two patients were cured by conservative treatment,and no liver failure and perioperative death were occurred.The duration of hospital stay was (6.9 ± 2.4)days.Among the 15 patients,2 patients were loss to follow-up and other patients were followed up for 5-26 months with good survival,1 patient died.Conclusion Hemi-hepatic blood flow occlusion through descending hilar plate in laparoscopic anatomic hepatectomy is safe and feasible.

Objective To understnad the defense mechanisms of patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and to explore its relationship with childhood abuses.Methods One hundred and forty-two outpatients with BPD (group A),63 outpatients with other personality disorders (group B) and 20 outpatients without any Axis Ⅱ diagnoses (group C) were enrolled and completed Chinese versions of the Childhood Experience of Care and Abuse Questionnaire (CECA.Q) and the Defensive Style of Questionnaire (DSQ).Multivariate analysis of variance and Pearson correlation analysis were used for data analysis.Results Compared to group B and C,the score of defense mechanisms reported by group A were significantly increased in all eight premature defense mechanisms,such as projection(F =26.5,P ＜ 0.05),passive aggression (F =18.1,P ＜ 0.05),acting out (F =28.3,P ＜ 0.05),complaint (F =16.7,P ＜0.05),fantasy(F =16.3,P ＜ 0.05),splitting (F =28.8,P ＜ 0.05),withdrawal (F =8.3,P ＜ 0.05),somatization(F=7.6,P ＜ 0.05),and part of the middle defense mechanisms,such as omnipotence-devaluation(F =9.2,P ＜ 0.05),isolation(F =4.7,P ＜ 0.05) and identification (F =10.0,P ＜ 0.05).At the same time,the BPD patients got lower scores in the mature defense mechanisms,such as sublimation (F =4.1,P ＜ 0.05) and repression(F =3.9,P ＜ 0.05).Those who experienced physical abuse use more complaint (F =6.9,P ＜ 0.05),denial mechanisms (F =5.2,P ＜ 0.05) and less anticipation one (F =4.6,P ＜ 0.05).Those who experienced sexual abuse use more somatization (F =4.4,P ＜ 0.05) and isolation mechanism (F =3.6,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions BPD patients would like to use more immature and middle defense mechanisms and less mature ones.Emotional,physical and sexual abuse from parents and other adult care takers have a correlation with immature defense mechanisms,which indicates the importance of care about parental rearing patterns and mental health of children.

Objective To explore the characteristics of nosocomial infection and its related factors among those very low birth weight infant(VLBWI)for coming up with appropriate preventive measures.Methods Fifty-eight infants with birth weight of 1500 g or below in the hospital from January to June in 2012 were studied actively and retrospectively about their nosocomial infection and related risk factors.Results Thirty-five cases of nosocomial infection occurred among the 58 infants with a prevalence of 60.34%. The mainly pathogenic bacteria was Gram-positive bacteria(88.47%)and mostly,infections presented with lung infections(82.90%) within 21 days after birth.The risk factors included mechanical ventilation,PICC,Apga score<7,fluconazole administration and premature rupture of membranes of VLBWI.Conclusion VLBWI are prone to nosocomial infections,mostly lung infection on day 21 after birth.Management should be strengthened within 3 weeks after birth of VLBWI to minimize infections.Reduction of invasive procedures on children and antibiotic use is particularly important.On the other hand,strengthening the health care in the perinatal period and reducing the incidence of preterm birth cannot be ignored.

Objective: To investigate the immune response induced by Cysticercus cellulosae protective antigen cC1 DNA vaccine in mice and the protective immunity induced by immunized newborn pigs. Methods: Recombined plasmid p3 cC1 was constructed by inserting full length cC1 cDNA into an eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3. Mice were injected intramuscularly with the recombined construct. Anti cC1 antibody and IgG 2a in serum were screened by ELISA. Then the protective immunization in pigs was done. Results: The immune response of specific antibody was induced during the 3r week. The highest level was during the 8th week. IgG 2a response was detected during the 2nd week. The higher duration of IgG 2a response induced by DNA vaccine was longlived. The protective rate induced in immunized newborn pigs was 73%. Conclusion: The cC1 DNA vaccine can effectively induce protective immunity in newborn pigs.

Objective: To clone porcine IL-4 cDNA and observe its adjuvanticity of vaccine against T. solium cysticerco-sis. Methods:The cDNA of porcine IL-4 was amplified by RT-PCR, which had 5' AUG initiatory codon with optimized trans-lational initiation. After sequencing,the cDNA was intergrated into expression vector pcDNA and transient expression was performed. Then newborn pigs were immunized with IL-4 expression vector and protective antigen DNA vaccine against T. solium cysticercosis. Results:The obtained sequence of porcine IL-4 cDNA was the same as reported. IL-4 and protective antigen could effectively promote the humoral response. Conclusion:An efficient expression plasmid containing porcine IL-4 cDNA is constructed. Its adjuvanticity of DNA vaccine against T. solium cysticercosis is preliminarily conformed.

Objective To investigate the application value of continuous irrigation and vacuum suction by subcutaneous drainage tube for prevention of abdominal type Ⅳ incision infection.Methods A prospective,single-blind, randomized, controlled study was conducted based on the clinical data of 123 patients with abdominal type Ⅳ incision infection who were admitted to the First People's Hospital of Foshan between January 2008 and July 2014.Patients were divided into the experimental group and the control group based on the random number table and received open surgery.Patients in the experimental group were placed subcutaneous drainage tube with postoperative continuous irrigation and vacuum suction, while patients in the control group adopted the method of traditional abdominal closure without subcutaneous drainage tube.The levels of preoperative hemoglobin (Hb) and albumin (Alb), severity grading according to the American Society of Anesthetheologists (ASA), levels of Hb and Alb at postoperative day 1, 3, 7 were recorded and postoperative incision infection and bacteria culture were observed.Patients received bi-weekly regular return visit by outpatient evamination after discharged up to 3 months after suture removal.Measurement data with normal distribution were presented as x-± s and comparison between groups was analyzed by t test.Measurement data with skew distribution were presented as M (Qn) and comparison between groups were analyzed by rank sum test.Repeated measures data were analyzed by the repeated measures ANOVA.Count data were analyzed by the chi-square test.Results One hundred and twenty-three patients were screened for eligibility, and 65 were allocated into the experimental group and 58 into the control group.The levels of Hb and Alb at postoperative day 1, 3, 7 were (111 ± 15) g/L, (107 ± 18) g/L, (108 ± 13) g/L and 30 g/L (26 g/L,32 g/L), 31 g/L(28 g/L,33 g/L), 35 g/L(32 g/L,37 g/L) in the experimental group and (112 ± 13)g/L, (106 ±16)g/L, (106 ± 12)g/L and 30 g/L(25 g/L,32 g/L), 32 g/L(29 g/L,33 g/L), 37 g/L (32 g/L,38 g/L) in the control group, with no significant difference in the changing trends of the above indexes between the 2 groups (F =0.124, 0.007, P ＞ 0.05).There were 4 patients with incision infection in the experimental group and 12 patients in the control group, showing a significant difference (x2=2.723, P ＜ 0.05).The infections occurred at postoperative 4-6 days confined to subcutaneous tissues and unreached to muscular and below layers, and then were cured by incision open drainage without recurrence.Patients without incision infection were removed the stitches at postoperative 7-9 days.Incision bacteria cultures showed that Escherichia coli was detected in 8 cases (including 1 complicated with Enterococcus faecalis and 1 complicated with Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 1 case, Klebsiella pneumonia in 2 cases, Acinetobacter baumanii in 1 case, Enterobacter cloacae in 1 case and no bacteria in 3 cases.All the patients were followed up for 3 months after incision healing and survived well without recurrence and complications such as incision split and incision fistula.Conclusion Continuous irrigation and vacuum suction by subcutaneous drainage tube can be operated easily and effectively reduce the postoperative infection rate in abdominal type Ⅳ incision.

Objective To investigate the incidence and the related factors of the depression in Parkinson's disease. Methods 52 cases with idiopathic Parkinson's disease were included in this study. Such scales as Hamilton depression scale-24 item (HAMD-24), Non Motor Symptoms Scale for Parkinson's disease (NMSS), 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39), unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS), revised Hoehn-Yahr rating scale (H-Y), revised Schwab and English daily life event scale (S-E), Minimum Mental State Examination (MMSE), etc. were applied and underwent Spearman correlation analysis. Results Thirty-six patients with Parkinson's disease (69.23%) met the criteria for depression. The spearman rank correlation analysis showed that MMSE (r=-0.294, P=0.036) and S-E (r=-0.506, P<0.001) had negative correlation with depression in Parkinson's disease, and the course of the disease (r=0.274, P=0.049), UPDRS (r=0.485, P<0.001), H-Y (r = 0.459, P = 0.001), NMSE (r = 0.729, P < 0.001) and PDQ-39 (r = 0.619, P < 0.001) had positive correlation with depression in Parkinson's disease. Conclusions The patients with Parkinson's disease had high incidence of depression. The depression in Parkinson's disease is associated with many factors and affected the quality of life of the patients.
