Objective To investigate the polysaccharides constituents from the transgenic crown gall cultures of Panax quinquefolium. Methods The crude polysaccharides PPQ50 and PPQ70 were extracted by water-ethanol method from the crown gall of P. quinquefolium. Four polysaccharides, named PPQ50-1, PPQ50-2, PPQ70-1, and PQ70-2, were isolated and purified by DEAE Sepharose and Sephacry S-100 column chromatography. Results The homogeneity of four polysaccharides was examined by gel chromatography and polarimetry. Their molecular weights were determined by gel filtration chromatography. They were 4.7?104, 2.9?105, 7.5?104, and 1.3?105, respectively. The sugar composition was analyzed by HPLC. The polysaccharides are mainly composed of neutral sugar particularly of D-glucose. The structure elucidation of PPQ50-2 was also supported by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Conclusion All of the four polysaccharides are first isolated and purified from the transgenic crown gall cultures of P. quinquefolium.The result shows the PPQ50-2 and PPQ70-2 are both glucans.

Objective:To explore the combination of high risk screening and family screening for potential patients with Fabry disease in adult hemodialysis population, and to improve the diagnostic efficiency of the disease.Methods:It was a cross-sectional investigation study. High-risk screening for Fabry disease was performed on adult hemodialysis patients with end-stage kidney disease who were admitted to Yongkang First People's Hospital of Zhejiang Province between November 2022 and February 2023. Dry blood paper α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) detection assay was performed in males, or glycosphingolipids (Lyso-GL-3) detection assay was performed in females. GLA genetic assay was performed for further diagnosis after abnormal screening results. Family screening was carried out on the family members of the confirmed Fabry disease patients, and α-Gal A activity and Lyso-GL-3 of peripheral blood were measured. Additionally, urine routine, blood biochemistry, eye examination, hearing test, cranial magnetic resonance imaging, and electrocardiogram were performed to assess organ damage. Results:Among 244 hemodialysis patients, 139 (56.97%) were males and 105 (43.03%) were females. The age ranged from 25 to 81 years (with median age of 61 years). One female patient with Fabry disease was identified GLA IVS4+919G>A mutation, resulting in a total prevalence of 0.41%. Pedigree screening was conducted on 41 family members of the patient, leading to the confirmation of 12 patients (including the proband), including 3 males and 9 females. Among them, 9 patients were abnormal in enzyme examination, 10 patients were abnormal in substrate, and 11 patients were abnormal in gene sequencing. None of the 12 patients exhibited limb pain, hypohidrosis, angiokeratoma, corneal opacity, and hearing impairment. Eight patients had heart abnormalities. Nine patients had abnormal urine routine (albuminuria or hematuria) and one patient had abnormal renal function. Four patients had abnormal cranial magnetic resonance imaging findings. Conclusions:One GLA IVS4+919G>A mutation family is successfully identified through the combination of high-risk screening and family screening in adult hemodialysis patients, with a total of 12 cases of Fabry disease. The combination of high-risk screening and family screening proves to be effective in detecting potential patients with Fabry disease, and improve the screening efficiency of Fabry disease.
