232 mice were utilized in this study. ( 1 ) After administration of nitroquine 570mg/kg?1 po, the mice were given with normal saline(NS)and folic acid(NF,8 nag/kg x l im)in two subgroups respectively. 96h later, decrease in number and shorter in length of intestinal villi, and necrosis of epithelial cells, especially the crypt cells showed markedly in NS group, but much mild in NF group. ( 2 ) The DNA contents in the tissue of the small intestine showed decrease after nitroquine administration, & markedly in the larger dose and as the time going on. The values of cpm after the[3H] TdR incorporation into DNA wete much higher in NF group than in the NS group. The results suggest that the DNA synthesis in small intestine is promoted by folic acid, so that it is advantage for the repairing of damaged intestinal mucosa.

RNA-seq is a transcriptome analysis method using deep sequencing technology, which uses high-throughput next-generation sequencing technology to investigate, characterize and quantify transcriptome.It can quickly and comprehensively detect almost all transcripts and gene sequences of specific cells in specific tissue of a species, and has been widely used in basic research, clinical diagnosis and drug development and other fields.Its measurement accuracy has been confirmed comparable to microarray and quantitative polymerase chain reaction by several studies.RNA-seq technology can accurately detect mRNA and non-coding RNA which play important roles in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Using this technology to investigate the gene regulation and molecular mechanism of DR is helpful to find biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis of DR, to comprehensively and systematically study and analyze the molecular mechanism of specific biological process, and to find new therapeutic targets.The application of RNA-seq will be of great significance for the basic research and clinical treatment of DR.In this article, RNA-seq technology was comprehensively and systematically expounded from three aspects, which were the advantages of RNA-seq technology, the selection of sequencing platform as well as library preparation and data analysis.The progress of this technology in DR research was summarized and analyzed.

Objective To report the experience in managing complex posterior urethral obliteration with dartos island skin flap. Methods 32 patients with complex posterior urethral obliteration were treated with dartos island skin flap substitution urethroplasty.Partial resection of the inferior pubic synphysis was needed to facilitate high proximal placement of the flap. Results The outcome was excellent in 31 (97%).Including subsequent procedures,the over all 3 months～7 years fllowup investigations were carried out in 27 patients.Urinary flow rates of more than 15 ml/s (for adults) and 8 ml (for children) could be achieved in 25 of 27 patients.Two patients with urinary flow decreased required further reconstruction.The hairy pouch formed within scrotal skin flap was noted in two patients. Conclusions Dartos island skin flap urethroplasty is a highly effective 1-stage method of reconstructing complex posterior urethral obliteration.

METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was taken to analyse the GSTP1 genotypes and identify the gene frequencies. RESULTS: The proportion of AA(Ile/Ile),AG(Ile/Val) and GG(Val/Val) genotypes were 57 4%,35 9% and 6 7%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The frequencies of individuals carrying homozygous of the GSTP1 variant allele were 6.7% among the Han nationality in Guangdong province.

Objective To explore the rule of etiopathogenisis disposition and tendency.Methods Bronchoscopic test was performed in these 899 patients.The differences among different periods,age groups and smoking status groups were compared.Results In recent 15 years,the ratio of old patients raised obviously.The causes were unspecialized inflammation(76.6%),tumor(12.9%),and tuberculosis(8.2%).Unspecialized inflammation cause was significantly more in young group than middle age group and old age group(P400 cigarette-years group than non-smoker group(P400 cigarette-years,should be alert for tumor,and take bronchoscopic test timely.Young patients should pay more attention to tuberculosis cause.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the number of eosinophil(Eos)and level of eosinophil cationic protein(ECP)in induced sputum and asthma severity and their value of differential diagnosis.Methods From July 2002 to June 2004,59 asthmatic patients were selected in the People Hospital of Wuhan University.The number of eosinophil and level of ECP were measured by Wrights' stain and Immuno-CAP System.The lung function was also evaluated.The same index was measured in 20 patients with COPD and 10 healthy subjects as control.Results The number of eosinophil in induced sputum in asthmatic patients negatively correlated with FEV_1%(r=-0.65,P

Glutathione S-transferases(GSTs) are a family of soluble detoxification enzymes which use reduced glutathione(GSH) in conjugation and reduction reactions.Toxic electrophiles,including a variety of carcinogens,are substrates for the GSTs and are more easily excreted into bile or urine after conjugation or reduction .The three-dimensional structures of GSTs from several species,including humans,have been determined.GST activity has been found to present in all human tissues,and expression of the various GST isoenzymes differs in degree in the various tissues. Glutathione S-transferases may play a role in the protection of cells against toxic electrophiles and in the resistance to cancer chemotherapeutic agants.The polymorphisms of GSTs genes are one of the important factors that exercise influence on individual susceptibility to cancer.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of splenectomy on hepatic fibrosis and on the expression of PDGF-B in the liver and PDGF-BB in the serum of rats with hepatic fibrosis. MethodsBy hypodermic injection CCl4, we established 65 rat models with hepatic fibrosis, splenectomies were performed in the three groups at different phases: before hypodermic injection CCl4 (A group), five weeks after hypodermic injection CCl4 (B group), and ten weeks hypodermic injection CCl4 (C group). The control groups were established at the same time, with samples of the livers and serum of the rats taken in different phases. The expressions of PDGF in the liver were detected by immunohistochemistry technique and the degree of hepatic fibrosis was detected by HE staining. The serum levels of PDGF-BB were analyzed by ELISA technique. ResultsAbsorbance values of PDGF-B in the experimental group were significantly lower than the control groups (P＜0. 05). Serum levels of PDGF-BB of the rats after splenectomy were significantly lower than those in the control groups (P＜0.05). HE and Masson's staining showed that the progression of Hepatic fibrosis was slow in the A group. Hepatic pathologic state was significantly relieved in the B group and the inflammation and fibrosis was relieved in the C group. Conclusion Earlier period splenectomy could delay the proceeding of experimental hepatic fibrosis. After splenectomy the decline in the level of PDGF may be one of the mechanisms causing the delay.

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression other than the changes in the underlying DNA sequence. Such changes include DNA methylation,genomic imprinting,X chromosome inactivation and non-coding RNA regulation. Recent progresses on epigenetics offer new ideas to tackling these problems in forensic science,including determination of the necessary allele in paternity,identification of fetal paternity testing in embryonic period,discrimination of identical twins,origination analysis of tissue,and individual age estimation. This review focuses on the main concept of epigenetics and its application in the field of forensic science.

Objective To study the correlation between the polymorphisms of NR3C1 gene and aggressive behavior in Yunnan Han population.Methods Five SNPs of the NR3C1 gene (rs6190,rs6191,rs6198,rs41423247 and rs56149945) were genotyped in 194 unrelated prisoners who committed violent-crimes and 301 healthy controls using improved Multiplex-ligase-detection reaction(iMLDR) method,and the data were statistically analyzed with the SPSS19.0soflware and PHASE2.1platform.Results Single locus analysis showed that the allelic distribution of rs6191and rs41423247did not show significant differencesbetween the control groupand the aggressive-behavior group as well as the robbery sub-group and intentional injury sub-group.However,significant difference was foundin the rs41423247 genotype distribution betweencontrol groupand robbery sub-group (p=0.048).In addition,there were no significant differences for the four haplotypes between the control group,the attack group,the robbery subgroup and the intentional injury subgroup.Conclusion These findings indicate that rs41423247 polymorphism of the NR3C1gene might play a role in susceptibility to aggressive behavior and rs6191 polymorphismmay not be correlated withaggressive behavior.
