Objective To investigate the 6 short tandem repeats(D2S1338,D8S1179,D16S539,D18S51,D19S433,D21S11) polymorphism in Maonan and Mulao minority and their genetic relationships with other 5 minorities in Guangxi Province and to enrich the genetic database of Maonan and Mulao populations. Methods The allelic frequencies and the genotype of six STR loci were generated from 383 unrelated Maonan and Mulao individuals by PCR_STR and ABI3100. Results Sixty_one and 65 STR alleles were found in the six STR loci of Maonan and Mulao populations,with their frequencies ranging from 0.002 5-0.320 0 and 0.002 7-0.284 2 respectively.Two hundred and sixteen and 218 genotypes were found in Maonan and Mulao populations,with their frequencies ranging from 0.005 0-0.150 0 and 0.005 5-0.158 5 respectively.Their average heterozygosities were above 0.8;polymorphism information content were above 0.8 their accumulative discrimination power were over 0.999 999 98,and the probability of paternity exclusion were over 0.998 3.The results of genetic distance and phylogenetic tree showed that there were closest genetic relationship between Maonan and Mulao minorities,and farthest genetic relationship was existed between Shui and Yi minorities.Seven minorities were clustered to 2 groups on phylogenetic tree.Yi minority was clustered to one group,whereas the other 6 minorities(Maonan,Mulao,Hui,Miao,Shu and Jing nationalities) were clustered to the other group.Conclusion Six STR loci of Maonan and Mulao minorities possesse the characteristic of high genetic diversities which has great practical value.Therefore,the obtained data can be used in human population genetics investigation,individual indentification and paternity test.The genetic variation of STR among 7 populations is basically consistent with their historical culture and geographic distribution.

Objective To test the status of Keap-1/Nrf-2 pathway in cisplatin-resistant Skov3/DDP cells,and the contribution of these molecular in cisplatin (cis-pt) resistance.Methods Skov3/DDP was divided into four groups:blank,cis-pt,Keap-1 up-regulated and Keap-1 plus cis-pt.Keap-1 was up-regulated in Skov3/DDP cells by trans-faction with pFlag-CMV-Keap-1 plasmid which was validated by expression of flag and increase of Keap-1 level using Western blot.The effect of Keap-1 up-regulation on Nrf-2 re-distribution was analyzed by Western blot.FCM was employed to detect apoptosis.ROS level was measured by DHE staining.Results The expression of Keap-1 was decreased obviously in Skov3/DDP cells compared with Skov3 cells (P＜0.05),Nrf-2 in Skov3/DDP cells detected mainly in nucleus.Then,the Keap-1 was successfully up-regulated (3.5 fold) by exogenous expression of pFlag-CMV-Keap-1 plasmid,as a result,nucleus portion of Nrf-2 was significantly reduced (0.2 fold).Next,the FCM results showed significant increase of apoptosis in Keap-1 up-regulated Skov3/DDP cells after cis-pt administration (P＜0.05).Finally,ROS level was significantly raised in Skov3/DDP cells treated with cis-pt plus Keap-1 up-regulation.Conclusions Up-regulation of Keap-1 reduced the nucleus portion of Nrf-2 and reverses cisplatin resistance in Skov3/DDP cells.

Objectve To study director-leading teaching method,raise the students' main body consciousness and innovation spirit and improve the teaching effect of microbiology test.Method 158 students majored in laboratory medicine of Grade 2013 were divided in two groups.80 from class 1 were in test group,and the rest from class 2 were served as control group.The clinical microbiological specimens were collected and identified;the experimental class was designed with the experimental teaching mode,while the control group used the traditional experimental teaching mode.Through the experimental evaluation and questionnaire survey,the difference between new teaching model and the traditional teaching mode were evaluated.SPSS 21.0 software was used in the collected data for processing.Result The theoretical results of the experimental class were (88.65 ± 7.64) and the practical skills were (89.72 ± 7.69) and the control group were (79.88 ± 10.64) and (80.55 ± 9.06).The scores of the experimental class were significantly higher than those of the control class,and there and statistically significant difference between the scores of two classes.T values were 6.851 and 5.938 and P values were 0.000 and 0.000 respectively.Survey results show that:90％ of the students agree with the new teaching methods.Conclusion The teaching result of the new teaching mode is superior to the traditional teaching mode.

Objective　To summarize the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of mitochondrial combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency type 1 (COXPD1), and to improve the clinicians' awareness of this mitochondrial encephalomyopathy. Methods　The clinical characteristics, physical examination, laboratory examination and other data of a child with COXPD1 were analyzed retrospectively. The diagnosis was confirmed by clinical whole exon sequencing and high-precision mitochondrial genome full-length PLUS gene detection, and the phenotype and genotype were analyzed by reviewing relevant literature. Results　A one-year and five-month-old boy mainly presented with hyperlactacidemia and abnormal liver function. Clinical whole exon sequencing showed that the child had homozygous variation of c. 688G>A(p.G230S) in the GFM1 gene. Sanger sequencing verified that the variation was respectively inherited from the parents of the child (both were heterozygous) with the autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. The high-precision mitochondrial genome full-length PLUS detection also did not find pathogenic mutations related to clinical phenotypes. The child was diagnosed with COXPD1. After "cocktail" therapy and liver protection therapy, the patient's condition improved. Conclusions　The phenotype of COXPD1 is complicated and variable, mainly liver type and brain type. The mutation of GFM1 gene affects mitochondrial translation system function, and early gene detection is helpful for definite diagnosis.

?A great number of miRNAs have been shown to play critical roles in pathological angiogenesis, the oxidative stress response, immune response and inflammation, all of which have been shown to have important roles in the pathogenesis and progression of age- related macular degeneration ( AMD) . Here we reviewed the pathological processes involved in AMD and the roles of miRNAs in these processes, and discussed potential miRNAs-based therapeutics for AMD.

Objective To optimize the HP-?-cyclodextrin(HP-?-CD)inclusion process condition for volatile oils from Anti-virus Oral Solution. Methods The process conditions were screened by determining the inclusion rate of volatile oils and the yield of inclusion compound,and by comparing the inclusion effect of supersonic method,saturated water solution method and grinding method.The optimum condition was investigated by the orthogonal test. The inclusion compound was identified by TLC,differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and ultraviolet spectrophotometry (UV). Results The optimum preparation conditions for inclusion were established as follows: the proportion of volatile oils and HP-?-cyclodextrin was 1 ∶12,the inclusion temperature was at 45 ℃and the inclusion time was 3 hours .The inclusion rate of volatile oils was 66.71 %,and the yield of inclusion compound was 90.07 %. Conclusion The complex prepared under the optimized condition is stable and has a highest inclusion rate.

Objective To investigate the incidence of sporadic type of painless thyroiditis (SPT),to analyse its laboratory characteristics, and explore the influence of different treatments on prognosis. Methods 43 patients with SPT, who differentiated from 276 patients with typical thyrotoxicosis, were randomly divided into treatment group (n=22) and control group(n=21).Results the incidence of SPT was 15 58%,the laboratory examinations in SPT differed from those of Graves disease, Plummer's disease and Hoshimotos disease. In treatment group the thyrotoxicosis continued(37 23?4 28) days, the euthyroidism continued(16.43?3.42) days and hypothyroxinemia continued(18.65?6.31)days,only one patients(4.54%) showed that repeated episode and had not left lifelong hypothyroidism; In control group the thyrotoxicosis continued(68 35?8 32) days, the euthyroxinemia continued(31 45?7 23) days and the hypothyroxinemia continued(102 42?21 34) days, 3 patients(14 28%)showed that repeated episodes and two patients(9 52%) left lifelong hypothyroidism in following 1 5 years;Conclusions SPT has less incidence than Grave's disease and more incidence than plummer's disease or Hoshimoto's disease in thyrotoxicosis. The laboratory examination could differentiate each other .The therapy of SPT could control thyrotoxicosis quickly,reduce recurrence rate and lifelong hypothyroidism.
