Objective To knock out p21 gene in human malignant rhab doid tumor(MRT)cell line G401 by using CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering technology. Methods The expression of p21 was detected by reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot assay in several MRT cell lines. The guide RNA was designed by targeting the third exon of p21 gene,which encoded its home domains, and then subcloned into lentiCRISPR v2 vector and validated sequencing. The validated plasmids were further used to package and produce the lentivirus in 293T cells, and the G401 cells were infected, then puromycin was used to screen positive cells, and the clusters of G401 monoclonal cells, were obtained by selecting monoclonal cells and culturing under the microscope. The RNA and protein of new clonal cell line were extracted, and RT-qPCR and Western blot assay were applied to confirm whether p21 was successfully knocked out. Results The p21 was highly expressed in MRT tumor cells. The CRISPR/Cas9 lentivirus plasmids, targeted p21 gene were successfully constructed. Compared with negative control group,the expression of p21 was not detected in G401 monoclonal cells, which were successfully screened. Conclusion In view of the difficult transfection of cells such as G401, p21 knockout stable cell line has been successfully constructed by using CRISPR/Cas9 system, which lays the foundation for further study of the mechanism of p21 in MRT tumors .

OBJECTIVETo summarize the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of chest trauma.
METHODSA retrospective analysis was conducted among 336 cases of chest trauma admitted to our hospital from January 2009 to May 2011.
RESULTSOut of all cases, 325 were cured, accounting for 96.7%; 11 died, accounting for 3.3%. Among the dead cases, one died of hemorrhagic shock, three of acute respiratory distress syndrome, three of multiple organ failure, and four of severe multiple traumas.
CONCLUSIONS(1) For patients with severe chest trauma, early emergency treatment is crucial to save life. (2) Open thoracic surgery is needed for acute cardiac tamponade, intrapulmonary vascular injuries, progressive intrathoracic bleeding, lung laceration, tracheal breakage, and diaphragmatic injury. In addition, operative timing and method should be well chosen. (3) Pulmonary contusion is one of common complications in chest trauma, for which the combination of strong anti-infection therapy and mechanical ventilation is an effective treatment strategy.

【Objective】 To screen individuals with rare blood type of Kidd, Diego, Duffy blood group system among the voluntary blood donor in Shaanxi province and to establish on-line and physical database of rare blood type. 【Methods】 Jk(a-b-)phenotype donors were screened by 2 mol/L urea hemolysis test. Blood donors with Di(a+ b-) phenotype were screened by genotyping; Fy(a-) and D-- phenotype donors were screened by modified antiglobulin assay. 【Results】 Three cases of Jk(a-b-) phenotype were detected out of 158 484 voluntary blood donors. The distribution frequency of Jk(a-b-) phenotype was 0.019‰. Di(a+ b-) phenotype was detected in 2(0.436‰) cases out of 4 586 voluntary blood donor. Fy(a-) phenotype was detected in 8(4.034‰) cases out of 1 983 voluntary blood donors. D-- phenotype was not detected in 29 430 voluntary blood donors. 【Conclusion】 The on-line database of Kidd, Diego, Duffy blood group system had been established by large-size screening of blood donor samples, which can conclude the region′s population distribution and genetic characteristics of RBC blood group. And physical database could further be established using the technology of red blood cells cryopreservation when the conditionspermit, so as to provide the most compatible blood for the clinical effectively improve blood transfusion safety, and provide data support for blood early warning.

【Objective】 To observe the distribution of the unexpected antibodies in order to study the safety and strategies in 1 779 cases of clinical blood transfusion. 【Methods】 A total of 1 779 patients with unexpected antibodies were enrolled from transfusion candidates in various hospitals in Xi′an during a 10-year period(from 2012 to 2022.5). 【Results】 The unexpected antibodies were detected in 926(52.05%) of 1779 samples. The detected antibodies were mainly from 8 blood group systems and their distributions were as follows: Rh antibodies in 69.76%(646/926), Kidd in 2.59%(24/926), Lewis in 4.21%(39/926), MNS in 12.53%(116/926), P in 0.43%(4/926), Diego in 0.65%(6/926), Duffy in 0.54%(5/926), I in 0.97%(9/926), Rh+ MNS in 1.30%(12/926), Rh+ Lewis in 0.65%(6/926), Rh+ Kidd in 3.24%(30/926), Rh+ Diego in 1.51%(14/926), Rh+ Duffy in 0.86%(8/926), MNS+ Diego in 0.11%(1/926), Rh+ MNS+ Kidd in 0.22%(2/926), Rh+ Lewis+ Kidd in 0.22%(2/926), Rh+ Kidd+ P in 0.11%(1/926), Rh+ Kidd+ Diego in 0.11%(1/926). 【Conclusion】 According to the distribution of unexpected antibodies in Xi′an, antibodies from Rh system, were the most common ones.First, the production of unexpected antibodies can be effectively reduced by establishing Rh compatible blood transfusion. Secondly, antibody screen cells containing low-frequency antigens, such as Mur, Dia and Wra, should be reasonably selected to prevent missing detection of anti-low frequency antigen antibodies in Xi′an. Furthermore, the genotyping technology of rare blood group should be promoted and a rare blood group red blood cell bank be established to optimize the blood inventory and ensure the safety of blood transfusion.

【Objective】 To identify one blood sample with ambiguous antibody screening result, explore the identification strategy of complex antibodies and provide blood transfusion plan. 【Methods】 Blood typing and antibody screening were performed by serological test. The genotyping of Diego blood group was carried out by gene detection. Absorption and elution test were designed to identify the complex antibodies. 【Results】 Serological test showed that the patient′s blood type was B, ccDEE, Jk(a-b+ ), Le(a-b+ ), Fy(a+ b-), Di(a+ b-). The results of genotyping showed that the Diego genotype of the patient was Di (a+ b-). Based on the above results, absorption and elution tests were designed and IgG anti-Dib, IgG anti-Ce, and IgG anti-Jka antibodies were detected in serum of the patient. Combined with the use of immunoglobulin and targeted blood transfusion measures, successful treatment was provided for the patient. 【Conclusion】 For the identification of antibodies against high frequency antigen combined with multiple antibodies, a variety of experimental techniques and methods should be combined, and the experimental scheme should be designed flexibly.

OBJECTIVETo observe effect and mechanism of n-Butanol lysate of alcohol extracts from Actinidia rufa root (monomer of R6,R8).
METHODTunel, Wright's stain with Giemsa's stain dyeing, and Hoechst 33258-PI double dyeing assay were used to detect the apoptosis of SGC7901 tumor cells treated with R6, R8. The SGC7901 tumor cells were randomly divided into control group and two treatment groups administered 0.05 g x L(-1) R6, R8, respectively, for 72 h). FCM assay was used to detect the apoptosis. Agarose electrophoresis assay was used to detect DNA strand break of tumor cells and reveal anti-tumor action mechanism.
RESULTThe apoptosis percentage of the tumor cell in 24 h, 48 h, 72 h was (17.08 +/- 2.78)% , (29.68 +/- 2.96)%, (52.46 +/- 3.81)%; (14.75 +/- 2.14)%, (27.35 +/- 3.79)%, (45.64 +/- 5.24)%, respectively, for the treatment group, significantly higher than that in the control group (1.94 +/- 1.55)%, (2.78 +/- 1.84)%, (11.8 +/- 2.79)% (P < 0.01) by tunnel assay. Wright's stain with Giemsa's stain dyeing assay, Hoechst 33258-PI and FCM double dyeing assay showed same action. R6 and R8 had the effect of inducing the DNA histogram of tumor cells (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONThe anti-tumor mechanisms may be associated with inducing the injury of DNA and stimulating apoptosis.
