Objective:To explore the clinical application value of rapid next-generation sequencing (NGS) strategy based on targeted amplicon sequencing in the diagnosis of myeloid neoplasms.Methods:In this observational study, both rapid NGS and conventional NGS on the bone marrow or peripheral blood samples of 682 patients were prospectively performed from February 2021 to August 2022 in First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. The sequencing results were analyzed using the local Ion Reporter software and our lab′s self-built bioinformatics platform, respectively. The timeliness of the two sequencing platforms was compared, and the Kappa consistency test was used to evaluate the consistency between the two sequencing platforms. Patients aged between 18 and 59 years with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) underwent screening by rapid NGS combining multiplex RT-PCR and in situ fluorescence hybridization technique within 72 hours, from whom high-risk patients according to European LeukemiaNet (ELN) 2017 were screened for individualized induction therapy.Results:In terms of timeliness, the median time from sample receipt to report issuance were 3 (2, 4) days and 13 (11, 15) days under rapid NGS and conventional NGS testing, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( Z=?22.636, P<0.001). Among 682 specimens with a total of 1 507 variants, rapid NGS detected a total of 1 499 variants, with a detection rate of 99.5% and 674 cases were accurate, with an accuracy rate of 98.8%; the conventional NGS detected 1 506 variants, with a detection rate of 99.9% and 681 cases were accurate, with an accuracy rate of 99.9%. In 682 specimens, there were 181 negative and 501 positive, in which 8 cases were missed under rapid NGS, and 1 case was missed under conventional NGS. The kappa value was 0.967 by Kappa consistency test, and P<0.001, suggesting good consistency and consistency between the two NGS platforms. From February 2021 to July 2022, 286 patients who were rapidly diagnosed of AML contained 78 patients screened as the ELN 2017 adverse-risk category, including 42 patients enrolled, with age 39 (33, 52) years old. After one cycle of venetoclax combined with decitabine induction therapy, 78.6%(38/42) of the patients achieved composite complete remission. Among the rest 104 additional myeloid neoplasms, rapid NGS detected mutations in 80 patients, with a detection rate of 76.9%, among which 89.0%(215/242) of the variants could serve as the basis for the diagnostic classification, prognostic evaluation, and target therapy of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN). Conclusion:The rapid NGS based on targeted amplicon sequencing is in good consistency with conventional NGS, and shorters the diagnostic time, whose sensitivity and detection range meets the need for diagnostic classification, prognostic stratification, and target therapy of myeloid neoplasms.

Objective:To investigate the application value of laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplantation.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 9 pairs of donors and recipients who underwent laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplanta-tion in People′s Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from January to April 2024 were collected. Of the donors, there were 8 males and 1 female, aged (39±18)years and with body mass index (BMI) of (20±4)kg/m 2. Of the recipients, there were 7 males and 2 females, aged (41±13)years and with BMI of (24±4)kg/m 2. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD. Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical conditions. Of the 9 recipients, 7 recipients underwent laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplantation successfully, 1 recipient with severe portal hypertension converted to open surgery with reverse L-shaped incision due to the hemorrhage during the dissection of the first hepatic portal after completing liver mobilization under laparoscopy, and 1 recipient underwent trans-umbilical extension incision through the middle of the epigastric region due to the limited space for operation in the implantation of the donor liver. The total operation time for 7 recipients who successfully underwent laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplantation was (648±31)minutes, with a time of anhepatic phase of (57±5)minutes, the volume of intraoperative blood loss of (1 322±627)mL, the donor liver mass of (1 195±232)g, and the ratio of donor liver mass to recipient body mass of 1.86%±0.42%. The operation time for laparoscopic liver dissection and porta hepatis dissection in 8 recipients during surgery was (212±35)minutes. (2) Postoperative conditions. All 9 recipients recovered smoothly after surgery, without any vascular or biliary related complications, and the surgical incision recovered well. The duration of postoperative hospital stay of 7 recipients who successfully underwent laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplantation was (14.2±2.0)days. (3) Follow-up. All 9 recipients were followed up for 3 months after surgery. During the follow-up period, there was no vascular or bile duct related complication.Conclusion:Laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplantation can be applied to recipients who meet surgical conditions and achieve good short-term clinical efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the combination of internal fixation for periprosthetic fractures of the proximal femur (PFFF) after hip arthroplasty.Methods:The data of 58 patients with periprosthetic fractures after hip arthroplasty from May 2008 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 31 males and 27 females. The average age was 75.5±18.2 years (range, 35-95 years). There were 39 total hip arthroplasty and 19 hemiarthroplasty; 37 biological prosthesis and 21 cemented prosthesis. Intraoperative periprosthetic fractures occurred in 6 cases and 52 cases postoperatively. Unified classification system (UCS): UCS IV.3A1 type 2 cases, 3A2 type 1 case, 3B1.1 type 19 cases, 3B2.1 type 25 cases, 3B3 type 2 cases, 3C type 9 cases. Fracture site: 3 cases in zone A (greater trochanter), 46 cases in zone B (around the femoral stem), and 9 cases in zone C (distal to the tip of the femoral stem. Internal fixation is composed of primary and secondary fixation, the main fixation method was the cerclage of steel wire or titanium cable, locking compression plate, and locking attachment plate fixation. The secondary fixation method was the cerclage of titanium cable, which was required to cover three zones A, B and C to form an overall balanced fixation. The modified Harris hip scores (mHHS), plate length, working length and screw number of different internal fixation combinations were compared.Results:The follow-up time was 54.2±21.6 months (range, 11-86 months). All patients showed signs of fracture healing at 10.2±1.5 weeks (range, 7-13 weeks) after operation, and bony union was observed at 19.6±1.3 weeks (range, 17-22 weeks) after operation. No delayed union or nonunion was observed. After operation, one case had a stress fracture and was revised with double-plate internal fixation; one case had a failed internal fixation and was revised with double-plate internal fixation and a large allograft bone graft. The mHHS score of UCSIV.3B2.1 group (80.3±4.6) was the lowest at 6 months after operation, and the difference between the groups of different types was statistically significant ( F=256.72, P<0.001). The score of simple internal fixation group (91.6±4.2) was higher than that of revision combined with internal fixation group (81.9±4.1), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=8.32, P<0.001). The plate length and working length were 24.9±2.5 cm and 12.6±1.7 cm for UCS IV.3B1.1, 25.4±2.6 cm and 13.6±1.8 cm for 3B2.1 and 28.1±2.5 cm and 4.9±1.9 cm for 3C, respectively ( F=5.33, P=0.005; F=6.78, P<0.001). The number of screws in zone A was significant difference among different UCS types ( F=52.67, P<0.001); UCS IV.3B1.1 (6.5±2.3) and 3B2.1 (6.7±2.2) were more than 3B3 (3.5±1.5) and 3C (3.7±1.6). The number of screws in zone B was significant difference among different UCS types ( F=42.15, P<0.001); The number of UCS IV.3B1.1 (2.3±1.6) and 3B2.1 (2.8±1.9) were significantly more than that of 3B3 (1.0±0.5) and 3C (1.2±0.6). The number of screws in zone C was significant differences among different UCS types ( F=39.62, P<0.001); The number of UCS IV.3B1.1 (3.8±1.9) and 3B2.1 (3.9±1.7) were more than that of 3B3 (2.0±0.5), the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The function of hip after simple internal fixation of proximal femoral periprosthetic fractures was better than that of those who underwent revision at the same time; the number of screws of UCSIV.B1 and B2 is more than that of B3.

Objective To explore the value of different surgical methods in the treatment of the displaced femoral neck fracture of the elderly. Methods An follow up study was done on 89 cases older than 65 years who were treated with internal fixation, femoral head arthroplasty and total hip joint replacement between 1998 and 2003 to compare the difference upon operation time, blood loss, duration of hospitalization, joint function evaluation one and two years after operation, complications and reversion rate. Results The internal fixation group had the shortest operation time and hospitalization and the least blood loss but the longest immobilization time, highest complication rate and reversion rate as well as the worst joint function. While the total hip joint replacement group had the least immobilization time, the lowest complication rate and reversion rate, best joint function but required better health condition. The femoral head arthroplasty group had the least operation injury but had relative higher reversion rate and worse joint function compared to the total hip joint replacement group. Conclusion Total hip joint replacement is suitable for the displaced femoral neck fractures of the elderly, especially those who are active have relative longer life expectancy and good general condition.
