An RT-PCR assay detected the t(4;11) translocation in two infants with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Case P76 was a 10-month-old, female infant, who presented with a WBC of 137.4 x 10(9)/l and a pre-pre-B ALL immunophenotype. Case P120 was a 6-month-old female infant, with a WBC > 615 x 10(9)/l and a pre-pre-B ALL immunophenotype. RT-PCR of cDNA from both these cases generated a 656 bp and a 542 bp respectively, which sequencing confirmed as t(4;11) fusion transcripts. The primers and conditions selected for this assay are compatible with a one-step multiplex PCR for the main translocations in childhood ALL.

Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF) is currently used in the clinical treatment of thoracic spine disorders and has achieved desirable results. In this study, we selected CT images of the thoracic spine from 54 patients and divided the intervertebral spaces into six regions (A, I, II, III, IV, P) using the Moro method. We observed the adjacent relationships between the thoracic spine and surrounding tissues such as the scapula, esophagus, thoracic aorta, and superior vena cava.
