Objective To observe the change of serum inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6 before and after blood transfusion, and analyze the possible pathogenesis of transfusion-associated neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Methods One hundred and sixty-two patients who needed blood transfusion in NICU from Janury 2014 to Octorber 2015 were enrolled in this study. Among them, 13 patients had transfusion-ralated neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (TRNEC, test group A), and 149 patients didn′t have TRNEC (test group B). In the mean time, 45 NEC patients without blood transfusion in 1 292 patients was as control group A, 30 patients who didn′t receive blood treatment and had NEC was as control group B. The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 in four groups were compared. Results The rate of TRNEC was 8.02% (13/162). The rate of NEC was 3.48%(45/1 292), and there was significant difference (χ2=7.79, P<0.01). The levels of serum TNF-α, IL-6 at 24 h and 48 h after blood transfusions in test group A and test group B were increased compared with those in control group B (P<0.01 or<0.05). The levels of serum TNF-α, IL-6 at 24 h and 48 h after blood transfusions in test group A were increased compared with those in test group B and control group A (P<0.01 or<0.05). The levels of serum TNF-α, IL-6 at 24 h and 48 h after blood transfusions in test group B were decreased compared with those in test group A (P<0.05). The levels of serum TNF-α, IL-6 at 24 h and 48 h after NEC in control group A were increased compared with those in control group B (P<0.05). Conclusions The pathogenesis of TRNEC may have connection with the inflammatory factors such as TNF-α, IL-6, which are produced in the processing of handling whole blood and the storage of red cell.

Objective To study microsatellite instability(MSI) in multiple primary colorectal carcinoma(MPCC) and solitary colorectal tumor(SCT), and to explore the relationship between the expression of mismatch repair(MMR)、p53、Bax、PCNA and MSI. Methods The expression of MMR、p53、Bax、 PCNAwere detected by immunohistochemical staining, and MSI at five microsatellite loci were examined by PCR-SSLP in 51 tumors from 38 MPCC patients and 35 SCT cases. Results The replication errors positive phenotype was observed in 27 of 51(53%) tumor foci from MPCC cases, and in 6 of 35(17%) SCT cases. There was an inverse correlation between replication errors (RER) positive and expression of p53; the PCNA labeling index of RER positive tumors were significantly lower than of RER negative tumors; RER positive related strongly with poor differentiation, the proclivity for proximal colon. Conclusions MSI may play an important role in the development of MPCC and may be used as a tumor marker of MPCC.

Objective To genotype mixed samples with next generation sequencing and evaluate its prospects in forensic DNA application. Methods Three mixed biological samples from rapes cases and their reference samples were collected. DNA was extracted using the MagAttract M48 DNA Manual Kit(200). The ForenSeqTMDNA Signature Prep Kit was used for library preparation, and next generation sequencing was performed on the MiSeq FGx system. The ForenSeqTMUniversal Analysis v1.2.1 software was used for data analysis. NGS-based STR results were compared with CE-based genotypes. Results A single length polymorphic STR allele in the mixed profile could be recognized as two sequence polymorphic STR alleles from different donors, which would assist mixed profile analysis. Such phenomenon was observed in D3S1358, D9S1122 and D13S317 in this work. Conclusion Our results suggested that precision STR genotyping of mixed samples based on NGS can provide more information and hints for mixed STR profile separation.

NESCA, a newly discovered signaling adapter protein in the NGF-pathway, contains a RUN domain at its N-terminus. Here we report the crystal structure of the NESCA RUN domain determined at 2.0-Å resolution. The overall fold of the NESCA RUN domain comprises nine helices, resembling the RUN domain of RPIPx and the RUN1 domain of Rab6IP1. However, compared to the other RUN domains, the RUN domain of NESCA has significantly different surface electrostatic distributions at the putative GTPase-interacting interface. We demonstrate that the RUN domain of NESCA can bind H-Ras, a downstream signaling molecule of TrkA, with high affinity. Moreover, NESCA RUN can directly interact with TrkA. These results provide new insights into how NESCA participates in the NGF-TrkA signaling pathway.
