Objective To investigate the common chromosome abnormalities in the patients with multiple myeloma and the relationships of cytogenetic abnormalities and clinical features. Methods The interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (I-FISH) analysis method was designed to detect RB1-/13q14-and 14q32 rearrangements in 49 MM patients. The statistic value of its effect on clinical features were determined. Results FISH disclosed 14q32 translocations in 26 of the 40 (53.1%) patients. 25 out of the 49 (51.02 %) cases were found with deletion of chromosome 13q14 included del(RB1) in 9 (18.4 %) and del(13q14.3) in 18 (36.7 %). 13q14 deletion and 14q32 translocation were simultaneously observed in 18 (36.7 %) cases. Spearman correlation analysis were found associated of 14q32 rearrangement with the percentage of plasma cells in bone marrow (r=0.316, P=0.27). Conclusion The frequency of 13q14 deletion and 14q32 gene translocation in multiple myeloma are high. There is a significant correlation between the presence of 14q32 translocations and chromosome 13 abnormalities in MM patients. The percentage of 14q32 translocation in plasma cells was increased significantly. The 14q32 translocation is an independent prognostic factor.

Objective To observe the changes of serum potassium concentration in rectal cancer patients from the admission to before the operation,to provide clinical evidence for preventing serum potassium disorder during and after their operation.Methods Monitoring of the changes of serum potassium concentration of 40 cases of rectal cancer patients according to three time points including the first day of admission,before taking of cathartics and the morning before operation.They were divided into different groups according to their age(young,middle age and elderly group),gender(male and female group),diet(normal,decreased slightly and serious decline group) and course(long,middle and short course group) of disease.The serum potassium concentration was observed between each time point of each group and SPSS13.0 statistical software was used to analyze the changes above.Results The mean of all patients' serum potassium concentration was (4.09 ± 0.62) mmol/L on the first day of admission,was (3.83 ± 0.46) mmoL/L before taking of cathartics that was decreased compared to the former and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.01),it was (3.36 ±0.40) mmol/L on the morning of operation and had significant difference with the above two groups (P ＜ 0.01).It hadn't significant difference between different gender and age groups at different time points (P ＞ 0.05) except between the young group and the elderly group in the morning of the operation (P ＜ 0.05).There were statistically significant differences between the different diet condition and different course at anytime point (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The rectal cancer patients were possiblely in hypokalemia before operation,the causes might be relative to the long course of disease,the decreased diet,the aged and infirm,the diet structure change after admission and taking cathartics cleaning intestinal tract.

Objective To investigate aberrations of bcl-6,p53,c-myc genes in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and its clinical significance.Methods Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (I-FISH) was detected in 59 DLBCL patients in vivo tissue bcl-6,p53 protein,c-myc gene status.The patients were treated with CHOP or R-CHOP chemotheralpy,and the survival rates and treatment efficiency were compared.Results The p53 deletion was detected in 18 of the 59 cases (30.5 ％),bcl-6 rearrangement in 11 cases (18.6 ％),5 cases with c-myc rearrangement (8.5 ％).In the aspects of remission rate,p53 deletion positive group contained less advantage than negative ones (33.3 ％ vs 75.6 ％,x2 =9.560,P =0.002).The prognosis of bcl-6 gene rearrangement positive group different from negative group,but the difference was not statistically significant (OS,P =0.107; PFS,P =0.094),p53 deletion positive patients was in significantly worse prognosis than the negative group (OS,P =0.031; PFS,P =0.028),c-myc rearrangement positive group difference in gene rearrangement negative group,but the difference was not statistically significant (OS,P =0.163; PFS,P =0.167).In the CHOP group,prognosis of p53 deletion,c-myc rearrangement positive group were significantly worse than the negative group,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).In R-CHOP group,the prognostic significance of bcl-6 gene rearrangement positive group were worse (OS,P =0.003; PFS,P =0.007).Conclusion DLBCL patients with bcl-6,p53,c-myc genes aberrations are related with poor prognosis,and they can be used as prognostic factors for predicting DLBCL and guiding therapy.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of electronic flexible ureteroscope Holmium laser lithotripsy in the treatment of kidney stones larger than 2. 0 cm. Methods From October 2012 to December 2013,43 cases of kidney stones larger than 2. 0 cm in diam-eter were treated with holmium laser lithotripsy under electronic flexible ureteroscope. A double-J stent was indwelled in ureter for 1~2 weeks before operation in each patient. Ureteral catheter guide wire was firstly put into the ureter with F8. 0/9. 8 semi-rigid ureteroscope,and the ac-cess sheath was put along the wire. Then,the electronic flexible ureteroscope(Olympus V5) was introduced into the pelvis. Stones were frag-mented with holmium laser,and greater than 3 mm crushed stones were removed with a set of stone basket. Results The diameter of the stones of the 43 patients ranged from 2~3. 2 cm,with an average of 2. 4 cm. The operation time ranged from 35~120 min,with an average of 68 min. Three patients complicated with chills,fever and other symptoms of infection,who were improved by active anti-infective treatment. No serious complications occurred. Postoperative hospital stay was 2~4 d,with an average of 3. 2 d. After 12 weeks of follow-up,stone clearance rate was 86% (37/43). Conclusion It is safe and efficacy to treat kidney stones larger than 2. 0 cm with electronic flexible ureteroscope, especially for the elderly,solitary kidney,and patients with a previous incision or percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of thrombus removal of external hemorrhoid combined with procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids(PPH) in the treatment of circumferential mixed hemorrhoid with incarceration.Methods A total of 118 cases of circumferential mixed hemorrhoid with incarceration were divided into two groups:experimental group of 60 cases was treated by thrombus removal combined with PPH;control group of 58 cases was treated by Milligan-Morgan.We observed the differences of postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS)score,edema,bleeding,residual skin tag,wound healing time,anal stenosis,fecal incontinence,anorectal manometry and satisfaction in the two groups.Results There was significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in postoperative edema,bleeding and residual skin tag(χ2=6.63,4.19,6.64,P<0.05),but postoperative anal stenosis and fecal incontinence weren′t statistically significant different(χ2=0.38,1.11,P>0.05).Postoperative VAS score,wound healing time,satisfaction,anal resting and anal maximal squeeze pressure between the two groups were all statistically different(P<0.01).Conclusion The operation of thrombus removal of external hemorrhoid combined with PPH can effectively reduce the postoperative complications and promote recovery.

Objective To observe the Lactulose Oral Solution's influence in PPH postoperative complications and patients′ satisfactory rate for constipation and to find more intervention measures for reducing the complications. Methods A hundred and twenty cases of hemorrhoids with constipation were randomly divided into the two groups: the experimental group, the control group in 60 cases in each group. All patients’ postoperative bleeding, anal edema, stool impaction and satisfaction were observed and compared within 30 days. Results In the control group, the postoperative bleeding’ cases were of 23, anal edema’s were of 20 and stool impaction‘s were of 8. The incidence was 38.3%, 33.3% and 13.3% severally. The satisfactory patients were of 49 and the degree of satisfaction was of 81.7%. In the experimental group, the postoperative bleeding’ cases were of 12, anal edema’s were of 8 and stool impaction's was of 1. The incidence was 20%, 13.3% and 1.7% respectively. The cases who were satisfactory were of 58 and the degree of satisfaction was 96.7%. The postoperative bleeding , anal edema , stool impaction and satisfaction were different statistically in the two groups above (P < 0.05). Conclusion It can reduce PPH postoperative complications and increase patients′satisfaction by using Lactulose Oral Solution in patients with constipation and it will have a certain clinical value if these patients take this oral solution routinely.

Objective To investigate the effect of simvastatin (SV) in combination with cytosine arabinoside (ARA-C) on the proliferation and apoptosis of K562 cells. Methods Human K562 cells were incubated with SV and cytosine arabinoside alone or in combination and K562 cells without any treatment were taken as normal control. Cells in different groups were collected at 24, 48 and 72 h after incubation for further detections. Morphological changes by Wright stain were performed. MTT method was used to assay the growth inhibition rate and cytoflowmetry was used to detect the early stage apoptosis ratio and cell necrosis ratio. Results Compared with Ara-C group and SV group, cells in the group treated with SV combined with Ara-C showed obvious karyopyknosis,apoptosis bodies formation and significant cell growth inhibition, which were positively correlated with culture time. Combination of 15 μmol/L SV and Ara-C showed the most significant cell growth inhibition with a inhibition rate of (72±1) % at 72 h of culture, as was significantly higher than that of 15 μmol/L SV group (45±2) % and 20 μmol/L Ara-C group (44±0) % (P ＜0.01),furthermore, combination of 15 μmol/L simvastatin and Ara-C showed synergistic inhibition with Q value of 1.24 and 1.19 at 24 h and 48 h in each. The apoptosis rates at early stage (AnnexinV) detected by flow cytometry in 20 μmol/L, 15 μmol/L and 10 μmol/L SV treated K562 cells were significantly higher than that in normal K562 cells (P ＜0.01), as were positively correlated with culture time and SV dose (P ＜0.05). There were no significant difference of early apoptosis rate between the 20 μmol/L SV and 15 μmol/L SV groups (P ＞0.05), yet the very two were both higher than that of 10 μmol/L SV group (P ＜0.05). There were no statistic differences of late apoptosis rate (PI) amongdifferent treated groups (P ＞0.05). Conclusion SV inhibited K562 cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis in vitro, and combination of SV and Ara-C exhibited obvious synergistic inhibition and apoptosis, which may increase the sensitivity of K562 cell to chemotherapy. SV at 15 μmol/L may be the best concentration for K562 cells in vitro.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy ( FURL) using holmium laser for medullary sponge kidney stones. Methods A flexible ureteroscope was placed into renal calyx via a ureteral access sheath ( UAS) . The stones underlying the mucosa were found,and then broken by holmium laser following incision of renal papillary mucosa. The stone fragments were washed or clamped out. The remission of clinical symptoms and incidence of perioperative complications were observed,and a KUB plain film was rechecked postoperatively. Results Stones underlying mucosa were found and broken successfully in all 14 patients and there was no serious bleeding. Back pain symptoms of patients were relieved in 3 to 7 days postoperatively or after the removal of double J stent. The stone fragments were mainly discharged spontaneously. The rechecking KUB showed the amount of stones of most patients was significantly re-duced three months after operation. Conclusion FURL using holmium laser is effective for the treatment of medullary sponge kidney stones as it can significantly reduce the loads of stones without serious complications. It’ s a minimally invasive,effective,safe and suitable way which is suitable for further spread of clinical application.

OBJECTIVETo determine the expressions of miR-155, miR-34a and miR-30a in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and to explore their potential correlation with clinicopathological characteristics.

METHODSThe expression level of miR-155, miR-34a and miR-30a in 46 DLBCL samples were determined with TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (I-FISH) was performed to detect MYC and p53 genes' status, and immunohistochemistry (Envision method) was used to evaluate the expression of CD3, CD10, CD20, BCL-6 and MUM-1 in DLBCL. The DLBCLs were classified into germinal center B cell-like (GCB) and non germinal center B cell-like (non-GCB) subtypes according to Hans' criteria.

RESULTSCompared with normal controls, miR-155 expression level was significantly higher in DLBCL. The expression level of miR-155 in non-GCB type was higher than that in GCB type. It was shown that the patients with MYC rearrangement had lower expression level of miR-155 than the negative controls. Compared with p53 normal group, the expression level of miR-34a was significantly lower in p53 deletion group. It was also shown that the patients with BCL-6 protein expression had lower expression of miR-30a compared with the negative group.

CONCLUSIONmiR-155 expression level is different in normal controls, DLBCL and patients with subtype DLBCL. It therefore has a diagnosis value for DLBCL. miR-34a is of great prognostic significance. miR-155, miR-34a and miR-30a may be potential therapy targets for DLBCL.
