Objective Explore the feasibility of minute cells STR typing.Methods Minute cells which were obtained by micromanipulation method were amplified with MiniFiler kit,and detected by ABI 3130 genetic analyzer.Results Ten cells can be successfully genotyped.Complete genotyping results can be obtained for one,three or five cells but with stochastic effect.Conclusion Instability is observed in minute cells genotyping,so it can not be used in actual case work.Maybe increase the quantity of DNA template can improve the success rate.

Objective:This study investigated 376 adolescents' interpretations to peer rejection events. Methods:Measuring 376 adolescents' degrees of peer acceptance and their interpretations to peer rejection events by means of pen and paper questionnaires.Results:Peer-rejected adolescents presented a similar way of general interpretation to rejected events happened in other peers,however they interpret their own rejected events in a completely different way compared with popular adolescents:The main effects of peer acceptance types were significant on objective and subjective question scores(F(3,344)=3.212,P=0.023;F(3,344)=4.059,P=0.007, respectively);and there was a significant interaction effect of sex?age?peer acceptance types (F(9,344)=3.447, P

BACKGROUND: Gene therapy is a popular topic in domestic and overseas studies on biological therapy for brain tumor.OBJECTIVE: By using a newly constructed eukaryotic expression vector of pCR3-TK, the effect of the HSV-TK/ACV system on the proliferative activity of human glioma cells was investigated.DESIGN: Experimental study based on cells.SETTING: Department of neurosurgery and department of oncology in a university hospital.MATERIALS: The study was conducted at the National Key Laboratory of Veterinary Biotechnology of Harbin Veterinary Research Institute from January to April in 2004. The eukaryotic expression vector of pCR3-TK was constructed by the author. The TJ905 strain was a gift from professor Pu Pei-yu, who worked in the Neurology Institute of Tianjin city. The nontransfected cells and the cells transfected with pCR3-Uni vector were set as controls.METHODS: By using Lipofectamine(a cationic liposome), the pCR3-Uni vector and the recombinant pCR3-TK plasmid(inserted with HSV-TK gene)were transfected into the human glioma cell strain-TJ905. Then the positive clones were picked out and were given ACV(50 mg/L) . Totally 72 hours later, the cover slips were collected and silver staining for nucleolus organizer regions(AgNORs) was performed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: After the ACV treatment and AgNORs staining, the numbers of silver-stained granules in TJ905 cells with or without transfections were counted respectively.RESULTS: In those cells transfected with HSV-TK gene, after ACV treatment, a significant decreasing in proliferative activity could be observed, and the average numbers of the silver-stained granules in cells transfected with pCR3-Uni or pCR3-TK were 14.33 and 6.67 respectively( P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: As an easy-to-operate method, AgNOR counting is helpful for the studies on the proliferative activity of cells and the investigations into the potential anti-tumor mechanism of the HSV-TK/ACV system.

Objective To explore the risk factors for intracranial hemorrhage caused by late vitamin K deficiency bleeding(VKDB),in order to prevent and reduce the incidence of intracranial hemorrhage caused by late VKDB.Methods A retrospective analysis of the risk factors of late VKDB and intracranial hemorrhage was applied to 2 groups of patients in PICU and department of neurology of Beijing children's Hospital from Jan.2002 to Dec.2007.In group Ⅰ,there were 90 patients suffering from intracranial hemorrhage caused by late VKDB;while in group Ⅱ,there were 23 patients of late VKDB without intracranial hemorrhage.Within 12 hours of hospitalization,the following 9 items were checked:the cranial CT,blood calcium concentration,liver function,serum sodium,blood glucose,prothrombin time,partial thromboplastin time,fibrinogen concentration,and platelet.Ten possible relevant risk factors of gender,age,birth situation,feeding patterns,recent diarrhea,cytomegalovirus(CMV)infection,hypocalcemia,dysglycemia,hyponatremia,and abnormal liver function were analyzed by the method of non-conditional Logistic regression analysis.Results Statistically significant difference had been found in the 3 factors of hypocalcaemia,recent diarrhea,abnormal liver function(Pa

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of L-arginine on fetal growth restriction by observing the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in placenta.Methods Sixty patients with FGR were chosen,among which 30 cases who were treated with conventional ways were as convention group,and the other 30 cases who were treated with L-arginine were as L-arginine group.The birth weight and perinatal fetus outcome were detected.The central tissue of placenta got within 10 min after delivery were fixed by 100 g/L formaldehyde and embed by pa-raffin wax to observe the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax using immunohistochemistry.SPSS 11.5 software was used to analyze the data.Results Compared with convention group,the birth weight of L-arginine group was higher(P
