The model of vaginal candidiasis in Kunming mice was constructed in order to search for the optima construction conditions and provide an economic animal model of Candida albicans (C. albicans) vaginitis. Estrogen benzoate (E2) was given to mice at different concentrations ranging from 0.0 to 0.05 mg/mouse (4 levels) beginning 72 h prior to vaginal inoculation, then mice were inoculated intravaginally with various concentrations of stationary-phase C. albicans blastoconidia (ATCC90028) (5 levels) in 20 microL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) in each E2 level. General state, scores of genital pathology, the hyphae and vaginal fungal burden (CFU) in vaginal lavage fluid, the hydrops rate of uterus and vaginal tissues for pathological section in mice were observed and obtained at day 2, 4, 7, 14 and 21 after inoculation. The results showed the infection rate in mice was related to the dosage of E2 and concentration of C. albicans blastoconidia. Additionally there was better cross-effect between the two treated factors. The infection rate was about 80% on the day 4, and could reach 100% on the day 7 until the end of experiment after inoculated intravaginally in groups of E2I3, E2 0.025 mg/mouse injected hypodermically and inoculated intravaginally with 5 x 10(4) C. albicans blastoconidia, and large amount of hyphae and blastoconidia could be observe in superficial layer tissue and canal of vaginal by PAS. From the results in our experiment it was concluded that E2I3 was the optima construction condition in kunming mice.

Objective:To analyze the applicability and feasibility of a cell-free DNA barcode-enabled single-molecule test (cfBEST) in non-invasive prenatal diagnosis of phenylketonuria.Methods:This study recruited four pregnant women who were prenatally diagnosed as heterozygous carriers of hot spot mutations in the PAH gene from pedigrees with phenylketonuria at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July to September 2019. The frequency of mutations in maternal plasma cell-free DNA and the fetuses' genotypes were analyzed by cfBEST. Nested polymerase chain reaction primers were designed to amplify the mutation sites in each pedigree. The results of cfBEST were compared with those of invasive prenatal diagnosis. Descriptive analysis was used for data analysis. Results:In pedigree 1, the frequency of c.603T>G and c.842+2T>A mutations in maternal plasma cell-free DNA were 48.40% (291/601) and 9.70% (61/628), which was detected by cfBEST. The fetus was diagnosed with phenylketonuria with two heterozygous mutations. In pedigree 2, the frequency of c.1238G>C and c.842+2T>A mutations in maternal plasma cell-free DNA was 43.70% (786/1 798) and 0% (0/1 550), respectively. Both mutations were wild-type, and the fetus was neither phenylketonuria nor a carrier. In pedigree 3, the frequency of c.1045T>G and c.728G>A mutations in maternal plasma cell-free DNA was 44.00% (930/2 112) and 0% (0/705), respectively, suggesting that both mutations in the fetus were wild-type, and the fetus was neither phenylketonuria nor a carrier. In pedigree 4, the frequency of c.755G>A and c.728G>A mutations were 45.40% (743/1 637) and 4.50% (28/849), respectively, which indicated that the former was wild-type, and the latter was heterozygous; namely the fetus was a carrier of phenylketonuria. The results of cfBEST were consistent with those of invasive prenatal diagnosis. Three pedigrees (Pedigree 2, 3 and 4) continued the pregnancy to full-term, and the phenylalanine levels in the neonates were all below 120 μmol/L. No abnormalities were reported in those three infants during follow-ups at one, three, and six months after birth.Conclusions:The cfBEST could be used for non-invasive prenatal diagnosis of phenylketonuria caused by PAH gene mutation, but further studies with a larger sample size are needed.
