Objective To study the double restriction fluorescent labeling (DRFL) method for fluorescent labeling of trace DNA samples and its effect in enhancing the pathogen detection sensitivity of microarray assays. Method SARS-CoV RNA samples were reversely transcribed and then further amplified with the restriction display (RD)-PCR and fluorescently labeled by conventional restriction labeling directly with Cy-universal primer and the novel double labeling with Cy-universal primer and CydNTP. The labeled samples were applied to the microarray with the viral probes, processed and analyzed. Results Compared with the conventional method, DRFL labeling resulted in 3. 5835 times higher fluorescent intensity of all the SARS probes on average, even though increased fluorescent intensities for different probes varied considerably. Conclusion Signal to noise ratio can be enhanced by the DRFL method which improves the sensitivity of microarray technology in trace pathogen detections.

Objective Based on the age of big data, the treatment mechanisms of Qishen-Yiqi(QSYQ) for myocardial infarction was focused. Methods All the data stemmed from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). For ensuring the efficacy genetic molecular, differentially expressed genes were discobered by Qlucore Omics Explorer (QOE). And then gene set enrichment analysis was performed by Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery online Gene Annotation system(DAVID) for showing the genes functions during bioprocess. In the end, the predicted genes and proteins interactions networks were demonstrated by Gene/protein interaction database (STRING). Results The main biological process involved up regulating the expression of some specil genes such as NFIL3, ARNTL, DBP, FGD4 and nuclear receptor genes like NR1D1, NR1D2 while using QSYQ treatment. In such case, BHLHE40/41 was regulated. Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine, QSYQ, could influence the expression of genes of cytothesis, inflammatory and enzymatic activity as its effect of the molecular mechanism, in order to treat and cure the myocarditis infarction.

Objective To prepare the microarrays for joint detection of HBV and HDV. Methods The specific primers of PCR were designed with Primer Premier 5.0 program according to the conserved regions of HBV and HDV. The PCR fragments were purified and cloned into the pMD18-T vectors. The recombinant plasmids were extracted from positive clones and the target gene fragments were sequenced. The DNA microarray was obtained by spotting PCR products onto the surface of glass slides by robotics. Restriction display PCR (RD-PCR) was used to label the samples. Results After the sequences were aligned, we found that the products of PCR amplification were the specific gene fragments of HBV and HDV. The hybridized signals on gene chips indicated that the specificity and sensitivity of DNA microarray for joint detecting the HBV and HDV were satisfactory. Conclusion Using PCR amplification products to construct gene chips is a quick, simple and effective method for clinical diagnosis of HBV and HDV. Further application of restriction display PCR technique in labeling the sample may expedite and raise the sensitivity in multi-virus detection by microarray technology.

Objective To investigate the applieation of restriction display (RD) technique in the preparation of HCV probes of clinical genotyping microarray. Methods Restriction enzyme Sau3A Ⅰwas chosen to digest the full-length HCV cDNAs of three distinct subtypes, i.e.1a, 1b and 2a. The resultant restrictive fragments were then ligated with universal adapters. PCR primers were designed to match the universal adapters but with one "nesting" base overhanging at the 3′- end. The PCR reactions were performed by ten pairs of different primer combinations. The differential genes were separated through polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining. The second-round PCR was performed using the isolated bands as PCR templates. The purified PCR products were then cloned into T-vectors. The recombinant plasmids were extracted from positive recombinant clones and the target gene fragments were sequenced. Results The target HCV gene fragments ranging from 200 to 900bp were isolated and sequenced, which were correlated precisely with the RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) prediction. A total of 66 different fragments were obtained, averaging about 22 for each subtypes. These fragments could be further used as probes in HCV microarray preparations. Conclusion RD technique is of great value in obtaining a large number of equal sized gene probes, which provide a swift protocol in generating DNA probes for the preparation of microarrays.

10.Open surgical approach for two coincidental splenic artery aneurysms: a case report
World Journal of Emergency Medicine 2023;14(5):419-420
Several factors can contribute to the formation of aneurysms, including hemodynamic changes, polyarteritis nodosa, bacterial endocarditis, vasculitis, fibromuscular dysplasia, vascular malformation, and cystic medial necrosis.[1,2] Surgery is recommended for splenic artery aneurysms (SAAs) greater than 25 mm in diameter, and several surgical approaches are used, including open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and percutaneous embolization. Laparoscopic surgery might be associated with an increased risk of pancreatic leakage compared to the open surgery approach. Open surgery without complete aneurysm resection should be preferred for patients with large SAAs in close contact with the pancreas. Here, we report a patient with two splenic artery aneurysms.
