To evaluate the forensic validation of D20S161 and D8S384 loci.Two typing kits for D20S161 and D8S384 had been home made.The samples had been analyzed by using both kits,which including human blood,human semen,human saliva,animal blood,mixture of human blood and animal blood;human bloodstain,human semen stain,human saliva stain,animal bloodstain, mixture stain of human blood and animal blood; old bloodstains.The sequences of primers for both loci had been compared with 606364 sequences in data base in GeneBank,USA.There are positive results for human blood,human semen,human saliva,mixture of human blood and animal blood by using both kits for D20S161 and D8S384 loci.But animal bloods have not any PCR-productyet.Genotyping of human bloodstain,human semen stain,human saliva stain,mixture stain of human blood and animal blood by using both kits for D20S161 and D8S384 loci were correct.But animal bloodstains had not any PCR productyet.Also, all of fifty old bloodstains had positive results of typing for D20S161 and D8S384.No product was obtained by PCR technigue when primers for both D20S161 and D8S384 loci were tested against 606364 known sequences in the data base in GeneBank.The results demonstrated that both loci have species specificity.Both D20S161 and D8S384 loci are useful marker for forensic casework and paternity analysis.

Objective To study the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)and carotid atherosclerosis in ischemic stroke patients.Methods 43 subjects with ischemic stroke were enrolled and divided into carotid atherosclerosis group and carotid normal group according to the intima-media thickness(IMT)and plaque of carotid arteries,which determined with high-resolution ultrasound.Polysomnography(PSG)was performed for all the patients and record the apnea-hypopnea index(AHI),oxygen desaturation index,deep duration with SaO2

AIM:Although there are many evidences showing positive effects of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate(DHEA-S) in bone metabolism,the reasonable and thorough experiments are still needed to clear the mechanism of DHEA-S on bone metabolism by excluding the biological effect of its derivative hormone.This experiment is to study the efficacy and safety of DHEA-S in treatment of osteoporosis in elderly males.METHODS:①From October 2005 to October 2006,120 out-and in-patients with primary osteoporosis who were admitted in Shanghai 6th People's Hospital were selected.The diagnosis of primary osteoporosis referred to the new standard from WHO:without the application of sexual hormone,and over 2.5 standard deviation value of bone mineral density lower than the peak value of the same gender subject.All the cases were randomly divided into treatment group and control group(60 cases in every group).② DHEA-S 100 mg and Caltrate-D 600 mg were orally given to the treatment group;Caltrate-D 600 mg was orally given to the control group.③After 6 months,the bone density,serum biochemical markers,markers of bone resorption and formation as well as side effects were measured.RESULTS:120 osteoporosis patients entered into analysis.①Compared to the pretreatment and control group,the bone mineral density in lumbar spine 1,lumbar spine 2-4,femoral neck,and upper part of femoral bone were increased significantly in the treatment group(P 0.05).CONCLUSION:Treatment of osteoporosis in elderly males with DHEA-S is safe and effective without obvious side effects.

Purpose:To observe the response and tolerance to the regimen of etoposide,folinic acid and fluorouracil (ELF) in advanced gastric cancer. Methods:Thirty two patients with advanced gastric cancer received chemotherapy of ELF regimen(VP 16 100 mg iv d 1—3 ,CF 100—300 mg iv d 1—3,5 FU 750 1 000 mg iv d 1—3 Results:The overall response rate was 37.5% (12/32) and complete response rate was 3.1% (1/31), the partial response rate was 33.4% (11/32). The main toxicity was myelosuppression and alopecia. Leukopenia was observed in 81.6% of the patients, but grade 3 and 4 in only 12.5%. Anemia and throbopenia was observed in 21.8% and 35.1% of the patients respectively, alopecia in 100%. Other side effects were uncommon. Conclusions:This study shows that the regimen of ELF is effective and tolerable for treatment of advanced gastric cancer. [

The medical records of stroke patients at Zhenjiang Emergency Medical Center from January 1 to December 31,2011 were analyzed.A total of 797 stroke patients were managed,accounting for 10.42 percent of the emergency number over the same period.The average ages of males and females were (67 ± 14)and (72± 14)years old respectively (P ＜ 0.01).The incidence rate increased with age (P ＜0.05).The highest incidence occurred from 9:00 to 10:00 (n =61,7.7％),while the lowest incidence at 4:00 to 5:00 (n =9,1.1％).A total of 552 (69.3％) cases were sent to class 3A hospitals; the number of patients who independently option hospital were 626 cases (78.5％).Emergency response time (from call to arrival) was an average of 13.49 minutes.A total of 318 cases (39.9％) took no more than 10 minutes and first aid an average of 38.11 minutes.

AIM: To investigate the regulatory effects of nuclear factor-κB ( NF-κB) and activator protein-1 (AP-1) on the expression of ectopic trypsin and proinflammatory cytokines in influenza A virus (IAV)-induced myocardi-tis.METHODS:Male BALB/c mice of 8 weeks old ( n=40) were randomly divided into 4 groups:normal control group ( NC) , infection control group ( IC) , NF-κB inhibitor group ( NI) and AP-1 inhibitor group ( AI) .The mice in NC group and IC group were instilled intranasally with 15μL saline and 40 plaque forming units ( PFU) IAV, respectively.The mice in NI group and AI group were infected intranasally with 40 PFU IAV and injected intraperitoneally with 10 mg/kg NF-κB inhibitor pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate ( PDTC) or 2.5 mg/kg AP-1 inhibitor nordihydroguaiaretic acid ( NDGA) once daily. The mice were euthanized at day 9 after instillation, and the hearts were removed for pathological and biochemical analysis. RESULTS:IAV infection induced significant up-regulation of ectopic trypsin, and proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-1βand tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in the myocardium, and triggered acute myocarditis.PDTC signifi-cantly inhibited NF-κB activation and up-regulation of ectopic trypsin and proinflammatory cytokines, and effectively sup-pressed IAV replication and myocardial inflammatory response (P<0.01).NDGA effectively inhibited AP-1 activity (P<0.01) and mildly suppressed up-regulation of proinflammatory cytokines ( P<0.05) , but had no effects on the expression of ectopic trypsin, IAV replication and the extent of myocarditis ( P>0.05) .CONCLUSION:IAV infection induces up-regulation of ectopic trypsin and proinflammatory cytokines in myocardium predominantly by the activation of NF-κB.AP-1 signaling pathway might be only partially involved in the regulation of proinflammatory cytokines.

A method for determination of 6 plant growth regulators by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry ( HPLC-MS/MS ) coupled with isotope-coded derivatization was developed. d0-10-Methyl-acridone-2-sulfonyl piperazine ( d0-MASPz, light form) and d3-10-methyl-acridone-2-sulfonyl piperazine ( d3-MASPz, heavy form ) were prepared as isotope-coded derivatization reagents for carboxyl compound. The carboxyl plant growth regulator standards and real samples were derivatized by d0-MASPz and d3-MASPz, respectively. The obtained solutions were mixed at a certain ratio, and then injected for HPLC-MS/MS analysis. The light and heavy derivatives were monitored with transitions of [M+H]+m/z 208. 2 and [M+H]+ m/z 211. 2,respectively. With heavy derivative as internal standard for corresponding light derivative, the global isotope internal standard quantification for 6 plant growth regulators was achieved. The results indicated that the proposed isotope-coded derivatization method could provide relative quantitative data with adequate linearity in a 10-fold dynamic range ( R=0 . 9991 ) . The detection and quantitation limits were 0. 19-0. 34 μmol/L and 0. 53-0. 96 μmol/L, respectively. The relative standard deviations were ≤3 . 8%, and the accuracies ranged from 97 . 5% to 103 . 8%.
