Progress of exosomes in drug resistance of hematologic malignancies / 白血病·淋巴瘤

The incidence of hematologic malignancies is increasing, and although new drugs and treatments have made great progress, relapse and drug resistance are still urgent problems to be solved. Exosomes are tiny membrane vesicles secreted in cells that carry lipid bilayer membrane structures including mRNA, microRNA and proteins. It carries and transmits important signaling molecules, forming an entirely new intercellular information transfer system that exhibits a wide range of biological properties and functions in organisms. Tumor cell exosomes are confirmed to contribute to cancer cell proliferation, angiogenesis, invasiveness, distant metastasis and drug resistance. Multiple studies have shown that exosomes from some malignant hematological tumor cells are closely related to tumor resistance. This review summarizes the research progress of exosomes in the mechanism of drug resistance of hematologic malignancies, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of hematologic malignancies.

Association between semen collection time and semen parameters: an observational study / 亚洲男科学杂志(英文版)

The process of semen collection plays a key role in the quality of semen specimens. However, the association between semen collection time and semen quality is still unclear. In this study, ejaculates by masturbation from 746 subfertile men or healthy men who underwent semen analysis were examined. The median (interquartile range) semen collection time for all participants was 7.0 (5.0-11.0) min, and the median time taken for semen collection was lower in healthy men than that in subfertile men (6.0 min vs 7.0 min). An increase in the time required to produce semen samples was associated with poorer semen quality. Among those undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART), the miscarriage rate was positively correlated with the semen collection time. After adjusting for confounders, the highest quartile (Q4) of collection time was negatively associated with semen volume and sperm concentration. A longer time to produce semen samples (Q3 and Q4) was negatively correlated with progressive and total sperm motility. In addition, there was a significant negative linear association between the semen collection time and the sperm morphology. Higher risks of asthenozoospermia (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 2.06, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.31-3.25, P = 0.002) and teratozoospermia (adjusted OR = 1.98, 95% CI: 1.10-3.55, P = 0.02) were observed in Q3 than those in Q1. Our results indicate that a higher risk of abnormal semen parameter values was associated with an increase in time for semen collection, which may be related to male fertility through its association with semen quality.

Analysis of the association of CYP450 gene polymorphisms with ischemic stroke / 中华医学遗传学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To assess the association of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) gene polymorphisms with the occurrence of ischemic stroke (IS).@*METHODS@#From January 2020 to August 2022, 390 IS patients treated at the Zhengzhou Seventh People's Hospital were enrolled as the study group, and 410 healthy individuals undergoing physical examination during the same period were enrolled as the control group. Clinical data of all subjects were collected, which included age, sex, body mass index (BMI), smoking history and results of laboratory tests. Chi-square test and independent sample t test were used for comparing the clinical data. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the non-hereditary independent risk factors for IS. Fasting blood samples of the subjects were collected, and the genotypes of rs4244285, rs4986893, rs12248560 of the CYP2C19 gene and rs776746 of the CYP3A5 gene were determined by Sanger sequencing. The frequency of each genotype was calculated by using SNPStats online software. The association between the genotype and IS under the dominant, recessive and additive models was analyzed.@*RESULTS@#The levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B (Apo-B) and homocysteine (Hcy) of the case group were significantly higher than those of the control group, whilst the levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and Apo-A1 (APO-A1) were significantly lower (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that TC (95%CI = 1.13-1.92, P = 0.02), LD-C (95%CI = 1.03-2.25, P = 0.03), Apo-A1 (95%CI = 1.05-2.08, P = 0.04), Apo-B (95%CI = 1.7-4.22, P < 0.01) and Hcy (95%CI = 1.12-1.83, P = 0.04) were non-genetic independent risk factors for the occurrence of IS. Analysis of the association between the genetic polymorphisms and the risk of IS showed that the AA genotype at rs4244285 of the CYP2C19 gene, the AG genotype and A allele at rs4986893 of the CYP2C19 gene, and the GG genotype and G allele at rs776746 of the CYP3A5 gene were significantly associated with IS. Under the recessive/additive model, dominant model and dominant/additive model, polymorphisms of the rs4244285, rs4986893 and rs776746 loci were also significantly associated with the IS.@*CONCLUSION@#TC, LDL-C, Apo-A1, Apo-B and Hcy can all affect the occurrence of IS, and CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms are closely associated with the IS. Above finding has confirmed that the CYP450 gene polymorphisms can increase the risk of IS, which may provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis.

Network Meta-analysis of efficacy of Chinese patent medicine in treatment of inflammatory response in diabetic nephropathy / 中国中药杂志

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of various Chinese patent medicines in the treatment of inflammatory response in diabetic nephropathy(DN) based on network Meta-analysis. Randomized controlled trial(RCT) of oral Chinese patent medicines for improving inflammatory response in patients with DN was retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMbase, Web of Science, and other databases from database inception to October 2022. All investigators independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the quality. Stata 16.0 software and RevMan 5.4.1 were used to analyze the data of the literature that met the quality standards. Finally, 53 RCTs were included, involving 6 Chinese patent medicines. The total sample size was 4 891 cases, including 2 449 cases in the test group and 2 442 cases in the control group. The network Meta-analysis showed that(1) in terms of reducing TNF-α, the top 3 optimal interventions according to the surface under the cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA) were Shenshuaining Capsules/Granules/Tablets + conventional western medicine, Jinshuibao Capsules + conventional western medicine, and Niaoduqing Granules + conventional western medicine.(2) In terms of reducing hs-CRP, the top 3 optimal interventions according to SUCRA were Bailing Capsules + conventional western medicine, Tripterygium Glycosides Tablets + conventional western medicine, and Shenshuaining Capsules/Granules/Tablets + conventional western medicine.(3) In terms of reducing IL-6, the top 3 optimal interventions according to SUCRA were Bailing Capsules + conventional western medicine, Tripterygium Glycosides Tablets + conventional western medicine, and Jinshuibao Capsules + conventional western medicine.(4) In terms of reducing UAER, the top 3 optimal interventions according to SUCRA were Shenshuaining Capsules/Granules/Tablets + conventional western medicine, Huangkui Capsules + conventional western medicine, and Jinshuibao Capsules + conventional western medicine.(5) In terms of reducing Scr, the top 3 optimal interventions according to SUCRA were Jinshuibao Capsules + conventional western medicine, Niaoduqing Granules + conventional wes-tern medicine, and Tripterygium Glycosides Tablets + conventional western medicine.(6) In terms of reducing BUN, the first 3 optimal interventions according to SUCRA were Niaoduqing Granules + conventional western medicine, Tripterygium Glycosides Tablets + conventional western medicine, and Huangkui Capsules + conventional western medicine.(7) In terms of improving the clinical total effective rate, the first 3 optimal interventions according to SUCRA were Jinshuibao Capsules + conventional western medicine, Niaoduqing Granu-les + conventional western medicine, and Huangkui Capsules + conventional western medicine. The results showed that the combination of western medicine and Chinese patent medicine could reduce the expression of serum inflammatory factors TNF-α, hs-CRP, and IL-6 and inhibit the inflammatory response. The combination of western medicine and Chinese patent medicine was superior to western medicine alone in reducing Scr, BUN, and UAER, and improving the total effective rate of treatment. Due to the limitation of the quantity and quality of literature included, the above conclusions need to be validated by more high-quality studies.

Three fixation methods in the revision of medial defective intertrochanteric fractures with failed treatment: a finite element analysis / 中华骨科杂志

Objective:To compare the biomechanical differences of dynamic condylar screw (DCS), locking compression plate (LCP) combined with DCS and medial anatomic buttress plate (MABP) combined with DCS in the revision of medial defective intertrochanteric fractures by finite element analysis.Methods:The femoral CT imaging data provided by a healthy adult volunteer were used to reconstruct the solid three-dimensional model of femur by Mimics 21.0 and Geomagics Studio 12. Evans-Jensen II B intertrochanteric fracture was established by Ansys Workbench18.0. The three-dimensional models of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA), DCS, LCP and MABP were reconstructed in Solidworks 2015. The PFNA was assembled with the fracture model, and then the PFNA was removed to establish the postoperative failure model of femoral intertrochanteric fracture and then simulated the fixation in the hip-preserving revision surgery of femoral intertrochanteric fractures: non-medial support reconstruction group (DCS); indirect medial support reconstruction group (DCS+LCP) and partial direct medial support reconstruction group (DCS+MABP). Finally, the forces on the hip joint of 70 kg normal people during standing (700 N), slow walking (1,400 N), brisk walking (1,750 N) and going up and down stairs (2,100 N) were simulated in Abaqus 6.14, the relative displacement and stress peak value of fracture end and stress distribution and stress peak value of internal fixation in different models were recorded.Results:At 700 N axial load, the relative displacement of fracture end fixed by DCS, DCS+LCP and DCS+MABP was 0.28, 0.13 and 0.09 mm; the peak stress of the fracture end was 49.01, 15.29 and 1.35 MPa; the peak stress of internal fixation was 230, 220 and 174 MPa, respectively. At 1,400 N axial load, the relative displacement of the fracture end of the three internal fixation methods was 0.56, 0.24 and 0.16 mm; the peak stress of fracture end was 108.49, 28.96 and 3.12 MPa; the peak stress of internal fixation was 469, 352 and 324 MPa, respectively. At 1,750 N axial load, the relative displacement of the fracture end of the three group was 0.70, 0.30 and 0.20 mm; the peak stress of the fracture end was 139.59, 37.57 and 4.17 MPa; the peak stress of internal fixation was 594, 421 and 393 MPa, respectively. At 2,100 N axial load, the relative displacement of the fracture end of the three internal fixation methods was 0.85, 0.35 and 0.23 mm; the peak stress of the fracture end was 170.05, 46.36 and 5.24 MPa; the peak stress of internal fixation was 724, 504 and 460 MPa, respectively.Conclusion:The partial direct reconstruction of medial support under the neck by DCS+MABP may have better biomechanical properties in the revision of medial defective intertrochanteric fractures.

Effect of Rapamycin on Exosomes and PD-1/PD-L1 in Human Erythroleukemia HEL Cells / 肿瘤防治研究

Objective To determine the effect of rapamycin(Rapa) on JAK2, ABCA3, and the immune checkpoint PD-1/PD-L1 in exosomes derived from JAK2 V617F positive HEL cells. Methods Human erythroleukemia HEL cells (JAK2 V617F mutation-positive) were cultured in vitro, and rapamycin was added at concentrations of 10, 50, and 100 nmol/L. The control group was established and cell proliferation inhibition rate was detected by CCK-8. Based on the inhibition rate of cell proliferation, cells intervened with 10 and 50 nmol/L Rapa were selected. Exosomes were extracted using a kit and identified by Western blot and flow cytometry. JAK2, ABCA3, and PD-1/PD-L1 mRNA changes in exosomes were detected by fluorescent quantitative PCR. The expression of exosome PD-1/PD-L1 protein was determined by flow cytometry. Results The exosomes extracted with the exosome kit all expressed characteristic CD9, CD63, and CD81 proteins, which were consistent with the general characteristics of exosomes. JAK2 mRNA can be detected in exosomes from HEL cells; Rapa reduced exosome production by HEL cells, and dose-dependently decreased gene expression of JAK2, ABCA3, and PD-L1 in exosomes. In addition, Rapa inhibited exosomal PD-L1 protein expression and had no significant effect on PD-1 protein expression. Conclusion HEL cells may transmit JAK2 mutant gene signals via exosomes. Rapa can reduce the production of exosomes and inhibits JAK2 mutated signals delivered by exosomes and suppresses PD-L1 protein expression.

Analysis of clinical phenotype and genotype of Chinese children with disorders of sex development / 中华儿科杂志

Objective: To explore the heterogeneity and correlation of clinical phenotypes and genotypes in children with disorders of sex development (DSD). Methods: A retrospective study of 1 235 patients with clinically proposed DSD in 36 pediatric medical institutions across the country from January 2017 to May 2021. After capturing 277 DSD-related candidate genes, second-generation sequencing was performed to analyzed the heterogeneity and correlation combined with clinical phenotypes. Results: Among 1 235 children with clinically proposed DSD, 980 were males and 255 were females of social gender at the time of initial diagnosis with the age ranged from 1 day of age to 17.92 years. A total of 443 children with pathogenic variants were detected through molecular genetic studies, with a positive detection rate of 35.9%. The most common clinical phenotypes were micropenis (455 cases), hypospadias (321 cases), and cryptorchidism (172 cases) and common mutations detected were in SRD5A2 gene (80 cases), AR gene (53 cases) and CYP21A2 gene (44 cases). Among them, the SRD5A2 mutation is the most common in children with simple micropenis and simple hypospadias, while the AMH mutation is the most common in children with simple cryptorchidism. Conclusions: The SRD5A2 mutation is the most common genetic variant in Chinese children with DSD, and micropenis, cryptorchidism, and hypospadias are the most common clinical phenotypes. Molecular diagnosis can provide clues about the biological basis of DSD, and can also guide clinicians to perform specific clinical examinations. Target sequence capture probes and next-generation sequencing technology can provide effective and economical genetic diagnosis for children with DSD.

PRKCDBP Methylation is a Potential and Promising Candidate Biomarker for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer / 中国肺癌杂志

BACKGROUND@#The occurrence and development of lung cancer are closely linked to epigenetic modification. Abnormal DNA methylation in the CpG island region of genes has been found in many cancers. Protein kinase C delta binding protein (PRKCDBP) is a potential tumor suppressor and its epigenetic changes are found in many human malignancies. This study investigated the possibility of PRKCDBP methylation as a potential biomarker for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).@*METHODS@#We measured the methylation levels of PRKCDBP in the three groups of NSCLC tissues. Promoter activity was measured by the dual luciferase assay, with 5'-aza-deoxycytidine to examine the effect of demethylation on the expression level of PRKCDBP.@*RESULTS@#The methylation levels of PRKCDBP in tumor tissues and 3 cm para-tumor were higher than those of distant (>10 cm) non-tumor tissues. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis between tumor tissues and distant non-tumor tissues showed that the area under the line (AUC) was 0.717. Dual luciferase experiment confirmed that the promoter region was able to promote gene expression. Meanwhile, in vitro methylation of the fragment (PRKCDBP_Me) could significantly reduce the promoter activity of the fragment. Demethylation of 5'-aza-deoxycytidine in lung cancer cell lines A549 and H1299 showed a significant up-regulation of PRKCDBP mRNA levels.@*CONCLUSIONS@#PRKCDBP methylation is a potential and promising candidate biomarker for non-small cell lung cancer.

Efficacy of triangular mechanical reconstruction for treatment of failed fixation of intertrochanteric factures / 中华创伤杂志

Objective:To investigate the curative effect of triangular mechanical reconstruction in revision of failed fixation of intertrochanteric factures.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted for data of 11 patients with failed treatment of intertrochanteric fractures treated at First Medical Centre, Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2017 to December 2019, including 7 males and 4 females, aged 41-75 years [(57.9±11.4)years]. The patients underwent revision surgery to achieve mechanical reconstruction of the proximal femoral triangular structure by two different implants. Among them, 6 patients were fixed using the dynamic condylar screw (DCS) combined with anteromedial plate and 5 patients were fixed using the cephalomedullary nail combined with anteromedial plate. The fracture healing rate and time, neck-shaft angle, neck anteversion angle and complications were detected. The lower extremity functional scale (LEFS), short form 12 health survey questionnaire (SF-12) and pain visual analogue scale (VAS) were measured at postoperative 6 and 12 months to evaluate functional recovery and quality of life.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-45 months [(19.1±10.8)months]. The fracture healing rate was 100%, with the healing time of 3-8 months [(4.7±1.8)months]. Compared with the unaffected limb, the neck-shaft angle and neck anteversion angle of the affected side were reduced ( P>0.05), and no secondary fracture reduction loss occurred before healing ( P>0.05). There were no postoperative complications such as femoral head avascular necrosis and implant failure. The LEFS score was (44.7±8.2)points at postoperative 12 months, significantly improved compared with that at postoperative 6 months [(61.6±10.4)points] ( P<0.05). The VAS was 1.5 (0, 2)points at postoperative 12 months, significantly decreased compared with that at postoperative 6 months [3.5(2, 4)points] ( P<0.05). The SF-12 score in physical state [(42.5±9.0)points] and mental state [(55.7±5.7)points] were also significantly improved compared with those at postoperative 6 months [(30.0±6.4)points, (43.6±6.2)points] ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Based on the characteristics of structural mechanics of the proximal femur, the DCS or cephalomedullary nail combined with anteromedial plate used to construct a triangular stable structure can achieve stable fracture reduction and maintenance reduction, relieve pain and improve function recovery as well as quality of life. This may provide an optimized revision strategy for failed fixation of intertrochanteric fractures.

Comparative analysis of chemical compositions of fruits of Perilla frutescens var. arguta and P. frutescens var. frutescens by pre-column derivatization with GC-MS / 中国中药杂志

The present study compared the appearance and chemical composition of fruits of Perilla frutescens var. arguta(PFA) and P. frutescens var. frutescens(PFF). VHX-6000 3 D depth of field synthesis technology was applied for the appearance observation. The metabolites were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by pre-column derivatization combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS). Finally, cluster analysis(CA), principal component analysis(PCA), and orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) were applied for exploring the differences in their chemical compositions. The results indicated that the size and color of PFA and PFF fruits were different. PFF fruits were significantly larger than PFA fruits. The surface color of PFA fruits was brown, while PFF fruits were in multiple colors, such as white, grayish-white, and brown. Amino acids, saccharides, organic acids, fatty acids, and phenolic acids were identified in PFA and PFF fruits. The results of CA, PCA, and OPLS-DA indicated significant differences in the content of components between PFA and PFF fruits. Three metabolites, including D-glucose, rosmarinic acid, and D-fructose, which were significantly higher in PFA fruits than in PFF fruits, were screened out as differential metabolites. Considering the regulation on the content of rosmarinic acid in Perillae Fructus in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2020 edition), the medicinal value of PFA fruits is higher than that of PFF. In conclusion, there are differences in appearance and chemical composition between PFA fruits and PFF fruits. These results are expected to provide fundamental data for specifying plant source and quality control of Perillae Fructus.

Mechanism of microRAN-145 on proliferation and apoptosis of breast cancer cell line MCF-7 / 解剖学报

Objective To explore the mechanism of microRNA-145 (miR-145) involved in proliferation and apoptosis of breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Methods The immortalized breast cancer cell line MCF-7 cells were cultured in vitro and transfected with miR-145. Real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to detect mRNA and protein levels, respectively. The proliferation level of each group was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method , and the apoptosis level of MCF-7 cells in different treatment groups was detected by flow cytometer. Results Real-time PCR result showed that miR-145 did not affect Caspase-3, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and B cell lymphoma factor 2 (Bcl-2) mRNA levels in MCF-7 cells. Western blotting analysis showed that compared with the control group, transfection of miR-145 for 96 hours significantly increased the expression of Caspase-3 and inhibited the expression of PCNA and Bcl-2. The result of CCK-8 assay showed that the proliferation rate of MCF-7 cells was decreased after overexpression of miR-145 for 72 hours and 96 hours (P<0. 05). The result of flow cytometer showed that the apoptosis rate of MCF-7 cells in overexpression group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusion MiR-145 can inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of MCF-7 cells by down-regulating PCNA and Bcl-2 and up-regulating the expression of Caspase-3, which may be a new target for breast cancer treatment.

Design mentality of establishing performance distribution system based on homogeneous subsidy base / 医学研究生学报

Performance management is a key direction of the reform of the national medical and health system, and it is also an important starting point for promoting the development of hospital connotation. In view of the contradiction among the current hospital performance distribution system, this paper proposes a design mentality of performance distribution system based on homogenization subsidy base, and expounds the basic connotation and cognitive basis of homogenization subsidy base. The key elements of the design of the performance distribution system are discussed from four aspects: pre-adjusted total control, coefficientized personnel attendance, same performance appraisal, and homogenization subsidy base. At the same time, this paper also analyzes the characteristics of the performance distribution system based on the homogenization subsidy base. The application prospects of the performance distribution system are prospected from three aspects: the national medical reform requirements, the discipline development discipline and the system's own characteristics.

METHODS: The correlations between D-dimer level and important clinical indicators of DM patients were analyzed by assessing the plasma D-dimer level in 46 patients with DM(among which 17 cases were amyopathic dermatomyositis)and 22 cases of PM. The clinical significance of D-dimer level in DM patients with interstitial lung disease(ILD)was also analyzed. RESULTS: The D-dimer level(1.18±1.17μg/L)in DM group was significantly higher than that(0.61±0.43μg/L)in PM group(P=0.03).In DM group, D-dimer level was positively correlated with lactate dehydrogenase(R=0.402,P=0.01),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(R=0.337,P=0.03)and C-reactive protein level(R=0.404,P=0.01).Our results also showed that the D-D level in DM group was negatively correlated with peripheral blood lymphocyte count(R=-0.392,P=0.01), peripheral blood CD3+T(R=-0.360,P=0.03)and CD3+CD8+Tlymphocyte count(R=-0.342,P=0.04).There was no significant difference in D-dimer levels between patients with ILD and those without ILD. Conclution Increased plasma of D-D may be an important indicator of disease activity in DM.

B cell activating factor profiles in cerebrospinal fluid in patients with lupus encephalopathy / 中国实用内科杂志

OBJECTIVE: To detect the levels of B cell activating factor(BAFF) in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) in patients with lupus encephalopathy(LE). METHODS: CSF from 15 patients with LE and 11 controls with headache were collected. The controls with headache were excluded diseases at last and used to be controls. The levels of BAFF were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Clinical features and laboratory data were collected from the patients with LE. RESULTS: The levels of BAFF in the CSF of patients with LE were significantly higher than that of controls [(1421.3±670.31) pg/mL vs.(21.9±21.44) pg/mL, P<0.01]. The levels were also increased significantly when compared with paired sera[(1011.4±356.43) ng/L, P<0.05]. CONCLUSION: was not found between the levels of BAFF and serum BAFF as well as the other clinical items. CONCLUSION: Brain immunity may contribute the increased BAFF in CSF in patients with LE.

Screening of MYH7 gene mutation sites in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and its significance / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

BACKGROUND@#There have been few reports of mutations in the beta-myosin heavy chain (MYH7) gene in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which is associated with sudden cardiac death caused by HCM. This study aimed to screen the mutation sites in the sarcomeric gene MYH7 in Chinese patients with HCM. We also planned to analyze the pathogenicity of the mutation site as well as its significance in clinical and forensic medicine.@*METHODS@#From January 2006 to June 2017, autopsy cases were collected from the Department of Pathology, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. The experiment was to detect MYH7 gene status in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from 18 independent autopsy cases who suffered HCM related sudden death (fatal HCM) and 20 cases without cardiomyopathy. Common mutation exon fragments of MYH7 gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction. The end-of-deoxygenation method and gene cloning method were further performed to analyze the mutation sites. Homologous comparison among mutant sites was conducted using BLAST online database.@*RESULTS@#The 1336th nucleotide of MYH7 gene at exon 14 was converted from T to G in one HCM case, resulting in the conversion of threonine (Thr) at position 446 to proline (Pro). In another case, the 1402th nucleotide at exon 14 was converted from T to C, resulting in the conversion of phenylalanine (Phe) at position 468 to leucine (Leu). Homologous comparison results showed that the two amino acid residues of Thr446 and Phe468 are highly conserved among different species.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Our results showed fatal HCM harbored mutations of Thr446Pro and Phe468Leu in the MYH7 gene. It is significant for clinical and forensic medicine to further explore the functions and detailed mechanisms of these mutations.
