Objective To screen and identify differentially expressed genes in colorectal carcinoma and explore the possible molecular pathogenesis of colorectal carcinoma.Methods The differentially expressed cDNA bands in colorectal carcinoma specimens and matched adjacent normal tissues were isolated by fluorescent mRNA differential display.Following differential display PCR (DD-PCR),all cDNA fragments were sequenced.By using BLAST software,the sequencing results were compared with Genebank database for homologue analysis.RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of one of the differentially expressed genes in colorectal carcinoma samples were identified by semi-RT-PCR.Results BLAST analysis revealed that the cDNA band was homologous to DDX32 (99%) and its up-regulated expression in colorectal carcinoma tissues was confirmed by RT-PCR (P

Objective To investigate the proliferation inhibition of chlorpromazine combined with taxol on Hep-2 cells (human laryngeal carcinoma cell line) and the effects on cell cycle progression. Methods Hep-2 cells at logarithmic growth phase were divided into taxol groups(3.0,6.0 and 12.0 mg?L-1),chlorpromazine(12.0 mg?L-1) comined with taxol (4 mg?L-1)group and control group (100 mL culture fluid).MTT and flow cytometry were used to detect the proliferation inhibition rates of Hep-2 cells in various groups.Flow cytometry was also used to analyze the cell cycle progression of Hep-2 cells and apoptotic rate after administration.Results The proliferation inhibition rates in 3.0,6.0 and 12.0 mg?L-1 taxol groups were 14.0%,23.9% and 36.7%,respectively,there were significant differences between three groups(P

Objective: In order to improve the technology of Chinese medicine extraction, experiments were made with large pore size ultrafiltration (LPS UF) membranes in the process of Chinese medicine production, and the feasibility of replacing traditional alcohol sedimentation with LPS UF method in the production of compound Chinese medicine was also explored. Methods: The water extraction liquid of Shenbao Mixture with alcohol percolation extract was ultrafiltered. Icariin as index component was determined. Results: Component of Icariin was reserved as 90%, this technology was similar to alcohol extraction. Conclusion: The experiments on the extraction of “Shengbao” mixture show that the LPS UF membranes with MWCO above 100,000 were more effective in retaining the effective ingredients and removing the precipitates.

Objective:
To construct a prediction model for preeclampsia (PE) risk in twin-pregnant women, so as to provide the basis for early screening and prevention of PE.
Methods:
A total of 467 twin-pregnant women who underwent prenatal examination and delivered at Huzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital were selected. Sixty cases with preeclampsia (PE) were included in the case group, and 60 women without PE were included in the control group. General information, blood biochemical indicators and uterine artery resistance index (UtA-RI) were collected. A logistic regression model was used to screen predictive factors and establish a nomogram. The Bootstrap method was performed for the internal validation; the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve and decision curve analysis were employed to evaluate the discrimination, calibration and clinical utility of the nomogram, respectively.
Results:
In the case group, there were 47 individuals (78.33%) aged younger than 35 years, 21 individuals (35.00%) with pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m2 and above, and 33 individuals (55.00%) with in vitro fertilization. In the control group, there were 57 individuals (95.00%) aged younger than 35 years, 8 individuals (13.33%) with pre-pregnancy BMI of 25 kg/m2 and above, and 39 individuals (65.00%) with natural pregnancy. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified age, pre-pregnancy BMI, method of conception, placental growth factor (PLGF) and UtA-RI as risk prediction factors for PE in twin-pregnant women. The established nomogram had an area under the ROC curve of 0.827 (95%CI: 0.755-0.899), a sensitivity of 0.767, a specificity of 0.733, a good discrimination and calibration, and a relatively high clinical net benefit.
Conclusion
The nomogram established by age, pre-pregnancy BMI, method of conception, PLGF and UtA-RI has a good predictive value for the risk of PE in twin-pregnant women.

Objective To investigate the distribution of methyleneterahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T gene polymorphisms and serum homocysteine (Hcy) levels in pregnant women. Method A total of 2 066 women with singleton pregnancies undergoing prenatal examinations in the Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital of Huzhou from January 2017 to October 2017 were recruited for the study.The MTHFR C677T genotype was detected by PCR-fluorescence probing, and the serum Hcy levels were detected by the cyclic enzyme method. According to the MTHFR C677T genotype detection analysis, the results were divided into the CC-type, CT-type, and TT-type groups. Statistical analyses were performed using the Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium test, chi-square test, variance analysis, and t test. Result Among the 2066 pregnant women, the CC, CT, and TT genotype frequencies for the MTHFR C677T gene were 39.35%,46.52%,and 14.13%,respectively.The Cand T allele frequencies were 62.61% and 37.39%, respectively. The statistical significance values for the Shanxi, Zibo, Shanghai, Suzhou, Shangzhi, Xi'an, Huizhou, and Nanning areas were as follows: χ2=161.999, 166.083; 111.005, 112.517; 416.146, 441.245;14.262,14.23;36.368,35.871;199.498,204.771;19.641,16.377;and 66.79,61.593,respectively;P<0.05. The level of serum Hcy was(7.48±2.20)μmol/L,and the abnormal rate was 3.53%.The level of serum Hcy and the abnormal rate among the 3 genotypes were distributed as follows: TT>CT>CC. The difference was statistically significant(F=120.968, χ2=52.572, P=0.000). Conclusion The distribution of genotype frequencies for MTHFR C667T in 2 066 pregnant women was different in various geographical regions.The level of serum Hcy was associated with the MTHFR C677T gene. Observing MTHFR C677T gene polymorphisms and serum Hcy levels is helpful for monitoring and guiding folic acid supplementation during pregnancy,and establishing reasonable individual health preventive measures.It is an important method to improve the quality of life of the offspring and the family happiness index.
