Detection of TP53 gene mutation and IGHV gene mutation status in chronic lymphocytic leukemia at Blood transfusion hematology hospital
The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics and the factors associated with external ventricular drainage (EVD) - related ventriculitis in patients with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) undergoing EVD.
We did a retrospective observational study of patients with IVH undergoing EVD admitted to the Center for Emergency Medicine of Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam between January 2015 and February 2021.
Of 124 patients, 24.2% had EVD - related ventriculitis.
On admission, the median Glasgow Coma Score was 7 (IQR: 6.00 - 8.75), and the mean serum glucose level was 9.61 (SD: 2.80) mmol / L.
Hospital - acquired pneumonia occurred in 41.5% (51/123) of patients.
In a multivariate analysis, hospital - acquired pneumonia (odds ratio, OR: 2.641; 95% confidence interval, CI: 1.056 - 6.602) was independently associated with an increased risk of EVD - related ventriculitis.
Additionally, serum glucose level ≥11.10 mmol / L (OR: 2.618; 95% CI: 0.969 - 7.069) also tended to be related to patients with EVD - related ventriculitis.
Thus, to decrease the rate of EVD - related ventriculitis, the prevention of EVD - related ventriculitis needs to be enhanced through improving both prevention and treatment of hospital - acquired pneumonia and treating hyperglycemia more optimally in patients with IVH undergoing EVD.
Characteristics and in-vitro resistance to bacteria causing community- acquired pneumonia at Ho Chi Minh city university medical center 2020
We initially investigated TP53 gene mutation and IGHV gene mutation status in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) diagnosed at the Blood Transfusion and Hematology Hospital (BTH).
Method: A case series.
We used PCR techniques, Sanger sequencing and analyse TP53 and IGHV gene sequences by SeqScape and IMGT software to identify TP53 gene mutations and IGHV gene mutation status in patients diagnosed with CLL at BTH.
Results: From December 2021 to June 2022, peripheral blood samples from 7 cases of CLL were collected and performed DNA sequencing to identify mutations in the TP53 gene, but no cases of TP53 gene mutations were found.
Next, we determined the mutation status of IGHV gene on these patients, there were 3 cases without IGHV gene mutation (≥ 98% identity to the germline sequence) and 4 cases with IGHV gene mutation (< 98% identity to the germline sequence).
Conclusions: Thus, the TP53 gene mutation and the IGHV gene mutation status are useful markers for prognostic classification more accurately and guide for an appropriate treatment decision for each CLL patient.
