【Objective】 To understand the polymorphism of D13S63 1 in Guangdong Han population. 【Method】 Short tandem repeat (STR) locus D13S63 1 was analyzed by means of polymerase chain reaction, following discontinuous el ectrophoresis system. 【Result】 Among 227 unrelated individuals from Guangdong Han population, 6 alleles rang from 197～217 bp could be observed. The most com mon allele with a frequency 0.2907 is allele 201 bp, the rare allele is allele 197 bp with a frequency 0.0903. The heterozygosity, the power of discrimination and the exclusion chance in paternity case were 0.7885，0.9231, 0.5543, respect ively. Segregation studies reveal that D13S631 inherit in Medel's Law. 【Conclus ion】 The result shows that locus D13S631 is highly informative and suitable fo r forensic application.

To investigate haplotype distribution of the Y-chromosome STRs (DYS19, DYS390 and DYS389 locus) in Han population in Guangdong area. The STRs were typed by poplymerase chain reaction followed by discontinuous PAGE system. Among 130 unrelated males, 81 different haplotypes were observed, 52 out of them were found only one time. The haplotype genetic diversity, discrimination power and non-father exclusion chance are 0. 9989, 0. 9824, 0. 9824, respectively. The high informative haplotypes make these STRs useful for the forensic individual identification and paternity testing.

Objective To study the genetic polymorphisms of 11 Y chromosome specific STR loci in Guangzhou Han population. Method The DNA extracted from blood samples of unrelated individuals in Han population living in Guangzhou were amplified by PCR. The PCR products were analyzed by using PAGE. Results 3-5 alleles were detected in 11 Y - STR loci respectively in Han population in Guangzhou. The minimum GD value was 0.3037 (DYS434), while the maximum GD value was 0.8455 (DYS390) . Conclusion The 11 Y - specific STR loci are highly polymorphic and are suitable for personal identification and paternity testing.

Objective To investigate the polymorphism of DXS6854 locus in Guangdong Han population. Methods The DXS6854 locus was analyzed by PCR following polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining. Results Among 189 females and 230 males from Guangdong Han population, 8 alleles were observed with frequencies ranging from 0.0026 to 0.4522. Exact tests demonstrated genotype frequencies in females had no departure from Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium. The discrimination powers for female and male original samples were 0.8633 and 0.7012, respectively. When both mother and her daughter were tested, the probability of excluding a random man as a father was 0.6712. Conclusion The DXS6854 locus is appropriate for individual identification and paternity testing involving a female child.

Objective Disorder of intestinal barrier function is associated with the non-alcohol fatty liver disease ( NAFLD) . The present paper aimed to explore the intestinal barrier function in the rat model of NAFLD . Methods Sixteen SD rats were ran-domly divided into an NAFLD and a normal control group of equal number .The NAFLD models were constructed by high-fat feeding . HE staining was used for pathologic examination of the liver , the levels of TNF-α, IL-1, and endotoxin (ET ) were measured by ELISA and the limulus reagent method , and the expressions of intestinal ZO-1 and Occluding were determined by real time PCR . Resu lts Compared with the normal controls , the NAFLD rats showed typical hepatic lipid deposition , with significantly increased levels of serum TNF-αand IL-1 and plasma ET and decreased expressions of intestinal ZO-1 and Occluding (P<0.05). Conclusion Intestinal barrier function is decreased in NAFLD rats .

Objective To observe the effect of Sijunzi Decoction(SD) and Huangqi Sijunzi Decoction(HSD) on mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase,cytochrome oxidase activity of liver in rats with spleen asthenia,thus to reveal the pathogenesis mechanism of spleen asthenia from energy metabolism,and to clarify the therapeutic mechanism of spleen-invigorating and Qi-tonifying herbs.Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:normal control group,spleen-asthenia model group,SD(10.5 g/kg) group and HSD(18 g/kg) group,10 rats in each group.Except that the normal control group,the rats in the other groups were fed with half-full diet once every other day and with gastic gavage of Xiaochengqi Decoction 60 g/kg every day to establish animal model of spleen asthenia.After 15 days,the model rats were administered the corresponding drugs according to the experimental design for 4 continuous weeks.The changes of mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase,cytochrome oxidase activity of liver were measured,and the general status of the rats were observed.Results Compared with the normal control group,the level of mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase activity in liver of spleen asthenia group were decreased obviously(P

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common risk factor for diabetes mellitus and cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases. The prevalence of NAFLD is increasing rapidly with the improvement in living. Microsome triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is a key enzyme for outward transport of liver lipids, and the increase in MTP promoter methylation is an important factor for liver lipid deposition in NAFLD. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that “spleen Qi transfers essence”, and the lipid transport function of MTP may be one of the manifestations of “spleen Qi transfers essence”. Clinical studies have shown that the spleen-strengthening and dampness-removing principle is of great importance in the treatment of NAFLD. By reviewing related articles, this article points out that the spleen-strengthening and dampness-removing therapy can improve NAFLD by regulating MTP promoter methylation, increasing the level of hepatic MTP, promoting the outflow of liver lipids, and alleviating lipid deposition.

Objective To apply the problem-based learning (PBL) based on the web in the rehabilitation therapy teaching. Methods The 64 students of rehabilitation therapy in grade 2009 and 2010 were taught with selected 3 chapters of physiology, using traditional teaching and PBL based on the web respectively. They were investigated through questionnaire after learning. Results Compared with he traditional teaching, PBL based on the web could improve the interesting of learning, self-study ability, and scope of knowledge. Conclusion PBL based on the web could improve the quality of physiology teaching for students of rehabilitation therapy.

Objective To discuss the utility of lean management in the informationalization of health check-up.Methods A total of 2125 matched adults who received health check-up from April to July 2008 (n =1001) or 2012 (n =1124) were enrolled by using random sampling.Time of health check-up registration and laboratory sheet filling,preparation of final report,consumption of labor force,and integrity of data collection were compared before and after the conduction of lean management.Results Since lean management startup,time of registration was decreased from (250.0 ± 7.7) to (7.8 ± 0.9) min/100persons,time of sheet filling was reduced from (137.0 ± 10.6) to (26.0 ± 2.9) min/100 persons,preparation of final report was less time-consuming ((702.0 ± 11.7) vs.(300.0 ± 12.6) min/100persons).The integrity and accuracy of health check-up reports were significantly improved (67.0％ vs.99.2％).Newer health check-up receivers were increased from 17.8％ to 29.4％ (x2 =461.944,P ＜0.05).Conclusion Lean management may be feasible and effective in the informationalization of health check-up.

Anything in the universe can be explained by Yin-yang theory of Chinese medicine. Synaptic connections in the central nervous system also embody a balance between Yin and Yang. To discover the synaptic processes of gathering,storing and retrieving information in the brain is a hotspot field of modem neuroscience. This paper attempts to analyze the synaptic connection in both structure and function from Yin-Yang theory. The connections of axons and dendrites between neurons arc malleable and constantly changing, showing a Yin-Yang balance anatomically. Remodeling, stabilization and plasticity changes of synaptic processes also embody the relationship of contradictions, conflicts and transformation of Yin-Yang functionally. Therefore, it is possible to achieve an unexpected result to solve some modem medical problems by using the thoughts and methods of Chinese medicine.
