RESUMO
Objective To investigate the genotype of M.tuberculosis in He'nan Province.Methods A total of 668 M.tuberculosis clinical strains collected in difference regions of He'nan Province during 2015 were genotyped by two standard methods,including classical 24-locus mycobacterium interspersed repetitive unit variable-number tandem-repeat (MIRU-VNTR) typing and spoligotyping.Results The 668 isolates were divided into 11 clusters and 35 patterns by spoligotyping.Among the 558 Beijing strains,546 were typical Beijing strains and the other 12 were atypical Beijing strains.Among the 110 non-Beijing strains,eight were new strains and the remaining 102 non-Beijing strains were divided into 10 families.There were 76 isolates belonging to T family,including 59 of T1 families,7 of T2 families,and 10 of T3 families.The 668 strains were divided into 550 gene patterns by standard 24-locus VNTR,including 508 un-clustered patterns and 160 clustered into 42 clusters.The largest cluster contained 21 strains,the other clusters contained 2-20 strains.Conclusion Beijing strain is still the most prevalent M.tuberculosis in He'nan Province.
RESUMO
In recent years, cancer stem cells have become a hotspot for global researchers. Cancer stem cell theory deems that cells with self-renewal and differentiation potential play a key role in tumor resistance and relapse. These cells are named cancer stem cells. At present, the sorting methods include the side population cell sorting technique, screening techniques based on cell surface special markers, tumor sphere cultures, label retaining cell, ALDEFLUOR assays and so on. Side population cells are a small part of cells with the capacity of efflux DNA fluorescent dye Hoechst 33342 and present a low staining intensity in flow cytometry plot. Side population cells are rich in cancer stem cells, and its sorting method has been considered simple and effective in cancer stem cell research.
