ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the epidemic situation of children with respiratory viruses in zhongs-han ,Guangdong to provide evidence for the diagnosis of respiratory virus infections in children .Methods 55 240 cases were collected in a hospital from November 25 ,2011 to September 30 ,2016 ,Influenza virus(IFA , IFB) ,parainfluenza virus (PIV1 ,PIV2 ,PIV3) ,respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and adenovirus (ADV) were detected by direct immunofluorescent ,and analyzed the results .Results The positive rate of virus infection in 55 240 children was 23 .25%,of which RSV 53 .75%,IFA 13 .83%,ADV10 .81%,PIV3 10 .77%,IFB 6 .49%, PIV1 2 .37%,PIV2 1 .14% and mixed infection 0 .84% .There were statistical significance between male and female (P＜0 .05) .The positive rates of virus infection in children 0- ≤1 years and 1- ≤3 years were higher than those in the other age groups ,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0 .05) .The positive rate of RSV was higher in both age groups (71 .92%,46 .23%) The positive rate of these 7 viruses infection in winter and spring was higher than that in summer and autumn ,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0 .05) , and the positive rate of RSV was the highest .The positive rate of these 7 viruses patients with bronchitis was higher than that of the other patients ,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0 .05) and in 108 patients with mixed infections ,the most cases was patients with RSV (90 cases) .Conclusion The main pathogen is RSV .The infection rate of children under 3 years old is the highest .Winter and spring are the high incidence of respiratory virus infection in children in Guangdong zhongshan district .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application of capillary electrophoresis by dried filter blood paper for screening of α-thalassemia in neonates .Methods The hemoglobin (Hb) of 46 718 cases of neonatal dried heel blood spots were analyzed by the capillary electrophoresis and the content of HbA ,HbF ,HbA2 and abnormal Hb were detected ,the phenotype cases which was screened positive were recalled for genetic analysis .Results A total of 2 598 cases of Bart hemoglobin (Hb Bart′s) positive were detected in 46 718 cases of neonatal heel blood dried blood spots .The screening positive rate was 5 .56% (2 598/46 718) .A total of 477 cases of α-thalassemia gene carriers were confirmed by genetic analysis in the 544 cases which were recalled .The coincidence rate of Hb Bart′s screening and genetic diagnosis was 87 .68% (477/544) .By analyzing the relationship between the clinical pheno-types and the content of Hb Bart′s ,we found the Hb Bart′s content gradually increased with the severity of clinical phenotype ,and the difference was statistically significant (P= 0 .000) .Conclusion There is a good consistency between the capillary electrophore-sis of dried filter blood paper and the genetic analysis .It could be determined α-thalassemia clinical type according to the Hb Bart′s content .
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of serum α-L-fucosidase (AFU)in primary hepatic carcinoma(PHC)by using the meta analysis method.Methods The databases of Cochrane Library,PubMed,web of knowledge(Medline,BIOSIS Pre-views),Springer link and Science Direct were retrieved from January 1997 to December 2013.The domestic databases of CBMdisc (Chinese BioMedical Literature on disc),CNKI,Wangfang and VIP(VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals)were retrieved from January 1984 to December 2013.Retrieval languages were limited to Chinese and English.The related literatures on the study of serum AFU diagnostic value for PHC were collected and the included studies meeting the inclusion criteria were performed the quality assessment.The meta-Disc 1 .4 software was adopted to conduct the analysis for comprehensively evaluating serum AFU value in the diagnosis of PHC.Results 20 articles were included (15 articles in Chinese and 5 articles in English).A total of 2 114 cases in the patients groups and 5 718 cases in the control groups were analyzed.The heterogeneity test was carried out on the in-cluded 20 articles,suggesting that the heterogeneity of the included studies was caused by the non-threshold effect,so the random effects model was selected for conducting the meta-analysis.And the pooled sensitivity was 0.77,the pooled specificity was 0.87, the pooled positive likelihood ratio was 5.37,the pooled negative likelihood ratio was 0.28,the pooled diagnostic odds ratio was 20. 47 and the SROC area under the curve(AUC)was 0.87.Conclusion Serum AFU has highly sensitivity and specificity for the diag-nosis of PHC and has reference value for its clinical diagnosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the association between rs1042713 polymorphisms of ADRB2 gene and the susceptibility of asthma in Chinese Population by meta-analysis.Methods: The Pubmed database,Emabase database,Web of Knowledge database, CNKI database,Wanfang database and Weipu database were searched for all publications about the susceptibility of asthma and the rs1042713 polymorphisms of ADRB2 gene in Chinese Population.The article which met the inclusion criteria were assessed by the STA-TA12.0 software.Results:12 studies were included,with 2 193 asthmatic patients and 2 033 controls.All the included articles were satisfied to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.The results of Meta-analysis was showed that the risk of asthma of the mutations G carriers ( GG +GA) on ADRB2 gene rs1042713 loci in Chinese people compared with the wild-type homozygotes( AA) was not significantly in-creased overall(OR=1.08,95% CI=0.82-1.44).However,subgroup analysis showed that the risk of G carriers of children had a relatively higher incidence(OR=1.69,95% CI 0.99-2.87),while the risk of adult-onset have a relatively lower incidence(OR=0.88,95%CI 0.68-1.15).Conclusion:The ADRB2 gene rs1042713 polymorphisms have a certain correlation with the susceptibility of asthma in Chinese children,the mutant gene G carriers may relatively increase the risk of asthma in childhood.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To construct the recombinant eukaryotic expression vector pCDNA3.1-MT2A and to investigate the cellular localization of MT2A protein in 293T and SMCC7721cell lines.Methods: Gene synthesis method was used to synthetic gene MT2A,added a Kozak sequence and His tag sequence at the N-terminus,the amplified target gene was connected to the pcDNA3.1(+) vector which was double digested between the BamH Ⅰ and Not Ⅰ.After transformation to E.coli DH5α, the positive clones were picked for plasmid extraction then Electrophoretic and sequenced.The pCDNA3.1-MT2A plasmids which passed through electrophoretic and sequenced were transfected 293T and SMMC7721 cell lines by liposome method,and then observed their expression and localization in eukaryotic cells by laser confocal microscopy.Results: The recombinant plasmid pCDNA3.1-MT2A was confirmed by restriction analysis and DNA sequencing,the sequence of the target gene MT2A was entirely correct,eukaryotic expression vector was successfully constructed and cell lines which had transfected recombinants could see the expression of green fluorescent protein in the cytoplasm.Conclusion:Successfully constructed fusion gene of pCDNA3.1-MT2A and expressed in eukaryotic cells,we found that the MT2A was mainly localized in the cytoplasm of 293T and SMMC7721 cell lines.The findings can help us to lay the foundation for the functions of MT2A in hepatoma cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the influence of silencing mesothelin(MSLN) gene on the proliferation of ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3 in vitro the growth of human ovarian xenograft in nude mice in vivo.Methods:MSLN-silenced cells (SKOV3-MSLN-shRNA ) and control cells (SKOV3-MSLN-neg) were established after being infected with RNA interference lentivirus and empty vector lentivirus, respectively. SKOV3 cells were used as blank control. Cell proliferation was assayed by clone formation test and cell counting assay. The xenografted model of the three cell lines were established in nude mice. After 2 weeks, the nude mice were sacrificed, and the tumor formation rate, tumor weight, tumor number, and tumor position were recorded. Results:The ability of proliferation of SKOV3-MSLN-shRNA cells was obviously decreased compared with SKOV3-MSLN-neg cells and SKOV3 cells in vitro. The difference was significant (P0.05). The average tumor weight, tumor number, and number of tumor position were all decreased in SKOV3-MSLN-shRNA group compared with the two control groups (P<0.05). Conclusion:Silencing MSLN gene decreased the proliferation of ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells in vitro and inhibited the growth of xenografts of ovarian cancer cells in nude mice.
