Tetrasomy of the short arm of chromosome 9 constitutes a rare condition resulting in a well clinically recognized syndrome. In our case, in addition to the characteristic phenotype at birth, the existence of a hernia-type Bochdalek diaphragmatic defect was found. Cytogenetic analysis revealed a nonmosaic case of an isochromosome of the entire short arm of chromosome 9 with no involvement of the heterochromatic region of the long arm: 47, XX, + i (9p). Because chromosome 9 contains several gene locus for enzymes and receptors of the retinoid pathway, this case potentially contributes to retinoid hypothesis in the etiology of congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

Objective: This study was undertaken to evaluate the occurrence and management of mesh erosions in patients undergoing abdominal sacrocolpopexy. Study design: A retrospective chart review of the abdominal sacrocolpopexy procedure (n = 92)between 1997 and 2003 was performed. Patients with mesh erosion were identified. Incidence by graft type and treatment required for erosion resolution was analyzed with χ 2 and Fisher exact test. Results: Erosions occurred in 7.6 % (7/92). Erosions were identified only in patients with gore-Tex (3/33, 9% ) or silicone-coated mesh (4/21, 19% ) compared with none of 38 patients with polypropylene mesh (n = 24) or fascia (n = 14) grafts (P =. 068.). Partial excision of exposed graft resolved all 3 gore-Tex erosions, compared with none of the siliconecoated mesh erosions (P =. 03). Complete graft removal was required to resolve silicone-coated mesh erosions. Conclusion: we observed a high rate of erosion with gore-Tex and siliconecoated mesh. Partial graft excision was adequate for gore-Tex erosions, but complete graft removal was necessary to resolve erosions associated with silicone-coated mesh.

Background To obtain important expressed sequence tags(ESTs)located on specific chromosomes is currently *** of single-chromosome EST library could be an efficient strategy to isolate important ESTs located on specific *** this research we developed a method to rapidly isolate ESTs from chromosome 1R of rye by combining the techniques of chromosome microdissection with hybrid specific amplification(Hsa).Results Chromosome 1R was isolated by a glass needle and digested with proteinase K(PK).The DnA of chromosome 1R was amplified by two rounds of PCR using a degenerated oligonucleotide 6-Mw sequence with a sau3AI digestion site as the *** PCR product was digested with sau3AI and linked with adaptor Hsa1,then hybridized with the sau3AI digested cDnA with adaptor Hsa2 of rye leaves with and without salicylic acid(sa)treatment,*** hybridized DnA fragments were recovered by the Hsa method and cloned into pMD18-T *** cloned inserts were released by PCR using the partial sequences in Hsa1 and Hsa2 as the primers and then *** the 94 ESTs obtained and analyzed,6 were known sequences located on rye chromosome 1R or on homologous group 1 chromosomes of wheat;all of them were highly homologous with ESTs of wheat,barley and/or other plants in gramineae,some of which were induced by abiotic or biotic *** in this research were 22 ESTs with unknown functions, probably representing some new genes on rye chromosome 1R,Conclusion we developed a new method to rapidly clone chromosome-specific ESTs from chromosome 1R of *** information reported here should be useful for cloning and investigating the new genes found on chromosome 1R.
