HBV DNA load detected by two domestic fluorescent quantitative PCR reagents: a comparative analysis / 中国输血杂志

【Objective】 To compare the quantitative detection results of two domestic quantitative real-time PCR reagents in HBV-DNA detection. 【Methods】 A total of 306 serum samples form hepatitis B patients were selected for quantitative parallel detection of high-sensitiveity HBV-DNA using domestic reagent A and B, and the difference and consistency of the results were analyzed. 【Results】 1) The yielding rate of reagent A and B was 86.92% and 84.64%, respectively. The regression linear equation was Y=0.984 9x+ 0.154 9, R2=0.945 7, the correlation coefficient r=0.972 5, indicating the results by the two reagents had good correlation. 2) When the concentration was in the range of(20~1 000) IU/mL, the yielding rates of reagent A and B were 39.9% and 37.6%, respectively. 【Conclusion】 Reagent A is more suitable for post-treatment monitoring in patients with OBI and HBeAg(-), but also can be used to detect HBV pathogens in patients before operations or blood transfusions.

Cloning of AP1 Gene from Lonicera macranthoides "Xianglei" and analysis on its Bioinformatics and Space-time expression / 中草药

Objective: To clone the AP1 (Lm-XL-AP1) gene from a Special Variant Varieties of Lonicera macranthoides "Xianglei", and to analyze its bioinformatics and spatio-temporal expression. Methods: Amplifing the full length of Lm-XL-AP1 gene by RACE technique, using bioinformatics method to analyze homology and similarity of the gene, predicting the coding protein and analyzing the various physical and chemical properties. The expression of the gene in different parts of Lonicera macranthoides Special Variant Varieties was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). Results: The AP1 gene, containing a 729 bp ORF that encoding 242 amino acids, was cloned. And the similarity of the gene compared with the AP1 gene from the MADS-box gene family of Chrysanthemum lavandulifolium up to 80% (Containing a conserved sequence of MADS and K-box). Without transmembrane domain, AP1 was located in cell nucleus. It is expressed in various organs of Lonicera macranthoides Special Variant Varieties. Conclusion: For the first time, the AP1 gene which may be involved in the control of the expression of floral organ was cloned from the total RNA of Lonicera macranthoides Special Variant Varieties.

Quantification and Genotyping of Trace Samples / 法医学杂志

Objective To introduce real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) into the initial sample screening, to improve the effectiveness of traditional trace sample extraction method.Methods Serial diluted 9947A was quantified using a Rotor-Gene Q real-time RT-PCR, and the genotype was determined with AmpF?STRTMIdentifilerTMPlus PCR kit.Thus a quantitative threshold model was built to obtain complete STR typing from the trace samples.In addition, 903 trace samples were used to verify the reliability.Results When the samples quality concentration was＞0.03 ng/μL, the effective STR typing could be directly obtained;when the concentration was＞0.01 and≤0.03 ng/μL, the effective STR typing could be directly obtained by optimizing the PCR thermal cycle parameters (30 cycles);and when the concentration was≤0.01 ng/μL, no effective map could be obtained even if PCR was optimized.Conclusion The real-time PCR quantitative threshold model is effective for the screening of trace samples.

Analysis on screening results of phenylketonuria among 567 691 neonates in Gansu Province / 国际检验医学杂志

Objective To retrospectively analyze the screening results of phenylketonuria(PKU ) among 567 691 neonates in Gansu Province to understand the prevalence situation of PKU and provide the basic data for preventing and treating PKU in Gansu Province .Methods 567 691 samples of neonatal dried heel blood spots were collected by Gansu Province Newborn Screening Cen‐ter from 2009 to 2014 and the phenylalanine (Phe) level was quantitatively determined by the fluorescence quantification method . The identification was performed by using the urine pterine profile analysis and phenylalanine hydroxylase(PAH) gene mutation de‐tection .Results Among 567 691 neonates ,166 neonates were diagnosed as PKU ,the total detection rate was 1/3 420 ,in which 119 cases (71 .7% ) were classic PKU ,33 cases (19 .9% ) were moderate PKU and 14 cases (8 .4% ) were mild PKU .Conclusion The morbidity rate of PKU in Gansu Province is much higher than the national average incidence level ,which is dominated by classic PKU .Therefore Gansu Province should become the major area of PKU prevention and treatment .
