Changes of Alternative Splice Variant of the SRSF12 by Cisplatin in Multiple Cells / 昆明医科大学学报

Objective To detect the changes of mRNA isoforms in multiple cancer cell lines with dose of cisplatin. Methods Total RNA of the cells treated by cisplatin were abstracted 24 h after the treatment. mRNA isoforms of SRSF12 gene were detected by semiquantitative RT-PCR. The ratios of mRNA isoforms were analyzed by gel image software and statistical analysis. Results Under the cisplatin treatment, 2 mRNA isoforms of SRSF12 were detected in five cells except Caski cells,their ratios and relative mRNA levels were changed. With the increase of dose of cisplatin, the ratio of isoform-a was slightly increased; but the ratio of isoform-b was different, the changes were not obvious in the A549 and 293FT cells, the weaker expression was expressed in the H1299 and C33A cells, and the two isoforms were gradually weakening in the Siha cells. Conclution Under the cisplatin treatment in multiple cancer cells, the expression of SRSF12 shows tissue-specific and cell type-specific patterns .

Effect of troxerutin and cerebroproptein hydrolysate injection on platelet aggregation and thrombosis / 中国实验血液学杂志

This study was purposed to explore the effect of troxerotin and cerebroproptein hydrolysate injection (TCHI) on platelet aggregation in vitro and thrombosis in vivo. The inhibitory rate of TCHI at different concentrations on platelet aggregation was determined by platelet aggregometer. The relationship between dose and effect was established. The effect of troxerutin and cerebroproptein hydrolysate injection on thrombosis was determined by the carotid thrombosis model of rats. The results showed that the TCHI could inhibit thrombosis and platelet aggregation in a concentration-dependent way. When the concentration of TCHI total nitrogen was 5 µg/ml, the inhibition rate of platelet aggregation reached to the highest value of 28.61 ± 22.07%, which is 2.5 times as much as that with 100 µg/ml aspirin. It is concluded that the TCHI has antiaggregative and antithrombotic activity effects against platelet aggregation and thrombosis.

Sala, Tuzu, and Tajik, regarded as Central Asia by origin in history and linguistics, also have a high YAP + frequency. Mulao and Maonan, which origin from "Baiyue" ancient ethnic groups, also have a considerable YAP + frequency.</p>

Collection of a Chinese pedigree with Parkinson's disease and linkage analysis of nine susceptibility genes / 中国医学科学院学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the susceptibility genes of a Parkinson's Disease (PD) family.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The blood samples of a four-generation classic idiopathic PD family were collected. Two-point LOD score method was applied to analyze the linkage disequilibrium between the disease locus and microsatellite markers.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>We studied 13 markers near the 9 genes that had been reported to be associated with PD. No obvious evidence showed that the selected markers had anything correlation with PD locus.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>These 9 genes are not the susceptibility genes of PD in this family.</p>

Gene frequencies and haplotypes of nine Y-short tandem repeat loci in four minority populations of China / 中华医学遗传学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the polymorphism of nine Y-short tandem repeat loci in 117 male individuals from four minority populations of China, and to obtain the polymorphism information in these populations.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Nine loci in all samples were amplified by PCR. Products were electrophoresed on ABI PRISM 377 DNA sequencer. The electrophoresis result was analyzed by Genotyper 2.0 software. Allele frequencies, diversities and genetic distance were calculated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Forty-three alleles and 32 haplotypes were found in Manchu population, 43 alleles and 33 haplotypes in Uygur population, 31 alleles and 15 haplotypes in Kirgiz population and 34 alleles and 23 haplotypes in Zhuang population. The closest genetic distance is 0.02530 between Manchu and Uygur, the highest genetic distance is 0.34590 between Kirgiz and Zhuang.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>High haplotype diversities were found in four populations. The study of genetic diversity among different populations is useful in research of their origins, migrations and their relationships.</p>

Immunogenecity of combined hepatitis A and B vaccine / 中国医学科学院学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the immunogenicity of combined hepatitis A and B vaccine (HAB).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The combined HAB vaccine was prepared and different concentrations of HAB were administered on mice in week 0, 4 and 24, and then we tested the antibodies to both hepatitis A virus and B virus. After the first injection, we tested the hepatitis A antigen-induced and hepatitis B surface antigen-induced stimulation indices in spleen monocyte as well as changes of CD4+ and CD8+ cell numbers.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The serum antibody positive rates were 100% in all three groups, and the antibody induced by HAB vaccine were earlier than by monovalent vaccine. The hepatitis A antibody and hepatitis B surface antibody titers after the combined vaccine inoculation were not significantly higher than those after the monovalent vaccine inoculation. On the other hand, after the first injection of the combined vaccine, the hepatitis A antigen-induced and hepatitis B surface antigen-induced stimulation indices in spleen monocyte were detected. The numbers of CD4+ and CD8+ cells increased.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>HAB vaccine has reliable immunogenicity.</p>

Genetic analysis of 17 biallelic markers on Y chromosome in 3 Chinese ethnic group populations / 中国医学科学院学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the genetic polymorphism of Y chromosome in different Chinese ethnic group populations.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Genotypes of 17 biallelic markers located in the nonrecombining portion of the Y chromosome in 76 men from 3 Chinese ethnic group populations (Han in Shandong, Bai in Yunnan, and Tu in Qinghai) were examined with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and allelic-specific PCR (ASPCR). Their haplotypes made of these 17 binary markers were constructed. The principle component (PC) analysis was conducted based on the haplotype frequency distribution among these 3 and other 15 published Chinese ethnic group populations.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The diversities of M50, M110, M103, M88, M3, and M7 were not found in these 3 populations. The frequencies of YAP+ were 23.8%, 6.7%, and 4% respectively in Tu, Bai, and Shandong Han. Eleven haplotypes were found in 3 populations--7 haplotypes (H1, H3, H5, H6, H8, H9, and H11) in Shandong Han (Han.SD), 8 haplotypes (H1, H2, H3, H5, H6, H8, H11, and H16) in Tu, and 9 haplotypes (H1, H3, H4, H5, H6, H8, H9, H11, and H13) in Bai. The predominant haplotypes were H1, H3, H5, H6, H8, and H11. According to PC analysis, Bai was close to Northern Han; Shandong Han, Southern Han (Han.S), Bai and Yunnan Tibetan clustered together; and Tu was close to Yi, Hui and Manchurian.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Shandong Han may have had genetic exchanges with southern populations in China. It has been confirmed that some gene components of Han had flowed into Bai's gene pool. Gene flowed from Central Asia had impacted Chinese western populations.</p>
