Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is a group of malignant clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders. With the application of molecular biology techniques in a wide range of scientific research and clinical practice, studies have shown that gene mutation is one of the key factors in the occurrence and progression of MDS. Great clinical heterogeneity of MDS is associated with diversity of genes mutation, and genes research will play an increasingly important role in the diagnosis, classification and prognosis of MDS. In this review, the recent advances on these common genes will be summarized.

Objective The aim of this research was to study the biological and clinical features of cervical cancer and precursor lesions Methods Nuclear DNA was analyzed by image cytometry (ICM) in 125 embedded tissue 5 ?m sections stained with Feulgen stain Samples included normal cervical squamous epithelium ( n =11), cervical intraepithelial neoplasiaⅠ (CINⅠ) ( n =22), CINⅡ ( n =17) and CINⅢ ( n =13), cervical neoplasm ( n =62) Results The mean DNA content, nuclear area increased progressively from normal cervical epithelium, CINⅠ , CINⅡ , CINⅢ to invasive squamous carcinoma Statistical analysis revealed significant difference ( P

Objective To analyze the clinical information of a family with one patient who have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Fabry disease,as well as the enzymatic activity and gene mutation in these family members.Methods Clinical characteristics were collected from the proband and her family members.Peripheral blood samples from three members of this family were collected and the enzymatic activity was measured by fluorimetrie substrate assay.Genomic DNA was extracted from one male member with significantly decreased enzyme activity,the 7 exons and their flanking introns of GLA gene were amplified by PCR and directly sequenced.Results The enzyme activity of two family members was significantly decreased,the genetic analysis of the male member revealed a missense mutation in exon 2:c.334C＞T (CGC＞TGC)( p.R112C ).Family members except the proband had no definite evidence to support the presence of SLE.Conclusion The coexistence of SLE and Fabry disease is extremely rare.Immunological test,enzymatic activity and gene mutation analysis seem to be helpful for the differential diagnosis.

Standardized Residency Training (SRT) in China is gradually maturing. To standardize the training quality in each training base, corresponding standards have been published with regular revisions to various indicators. However, some training bases and professional bases still face challenges such as inadequate awareness of qualified teaching resources, lack of precise regulations, and absence of standardized process assessment. Through years of cumulative in-depth interpretation of various assessment indicators and innovations based on the characteristics of laboratory medicine residents, the clinical laboratory base in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences is continuously improving the quality of teaching staff through a multi-level teacher qualification training mode and a strict assessment mechanism. Meanwhile, a comprehensive and effective training system has been established to ensure the smooth implementation of SRT tasks. In addition, a diversified lecture system and a standardized progressive assessment process have been established to enhance the overall clinical abilities of residents.
