Objective:To construct a bait vector for HSPC238, and to screen the target proteins which interact with the HSPC238.Methods:Gene synthesis method was used to synthetic gene HSPC238, then connected with the pGBKT7 vector after digesting by the sfiIA and sfiIB,to obtain the bait plasmid pGBKT7-HSPC238,then transferred into the yeast strains AH109 with the empty plasmid pGBKT7after sequencing,to observe its self-activating effect in the nutrient deficiencies medium,and further to screen the target proteins which interact with HSPC238 from the human fetal liver cDNA library.Results:The bait vector pGBKT7-HSPC238 was successfully constructed,and it had no self-activating effect through the phenotypic screening,after the yeast two-hybrid technology with literature analysis,we preliminary screened and found that the ribosomal protein L5(RPL5) may be the one of the target proteins which interacted with HSPC238 from the human fetal liver cDNA library.Conclusion: We successfully constructed the bait plasmid vector PGBKT7-HSPC238,and after the yeast two-hybrid technology with literature analysis,we preliminary screened and found that the ribosomal protein L5( RPL5) may be the one of the target proteins which interacted with HSPC238.

Objective To explore the clinical signiifcance of combined detection of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxin (FT4) in dried blood spots in screening for congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in neonates. Methods The TSH and FT4 levels in dried blood spot were measured by time-resolved lfuorescence immunity in live born neonates from June to December 2013. If the screening was positive, the blood was drawn and the serum TSH and FT4 were measured and compared with the results from dried blood spots. Results In a total of 31 199 neonates screened, 12 cases were diagnosed with CH and the prevalence rate of CH was 1/2 600;4 cases were hyperthyropinemia and no pituitary CH was detected. There was no signiifcant difference between TSH or FT4 levels in dried blood spot and those in serum in neonates diagnosed with CH (P>0.05). Conclusions Combined detection of TSH and FT4 in dried blood spot can be used for neonatal screening of CH. It can be applied for early distinguishing CH from hyperthyropinemia, and also helpful for early diagnosis and treatment of central CH.

Objective:To construct the recombinant eukaryotic expression vector pCDNA3.1-MT2A and to investigate the cellular localization of MT2A protein in 293T and SMCC7721cell lines.Methods: Gene synthesis method was used to synthetic gene MT2A,added a Kozak sequence and His tag sequence at the N-terminus,the amplified target gene was connected to the pcDNA3.1(+) vector which was double digested between the BamH Ⅰ and Not Ⅰ.After transformation to E.coli DH5α, the positive clones were picked for plasmid extraction then Electrophoretic and sequenced.The pCDNA3.1-MT2A plasmids which passed through electrophoretic and sequenced were transfected 293T and SMMC7721 cell lines by liposome method,and then observed their expression and localization in eukaryotic cells by laser confocal microscopy.Results: The recombinant plasmid pCDNA3.1-MT2A was confirmed by restriction analysis and DNA sequencing,the sequence of the target gene MT2A was entirely correct,eukaryotic expression vector was successfully constructed and cell lines which had transfected recombinants could see the expression of green fluorescent protein in the cytoplasm.Conclusion:Successfully constructed fusion gene of pCDNA3.1-MT2A and expressed in eukaryotic cells,we found that the MT2A was mainly localized in the cytoplasm of 293T and SMMC7721 cell lines.The findings can help us to lay the foundation for the functions of MT2A in hepatoma cells.

Objective:To investigate the association between rs1042713 polymorphisms of ADRB2 gene and the susceptibility of asthma in Chinese Population by meta-analysis.Methods: The Pubmed database,Emabase database,Web of Knowledge database, CNKI database,Wanfang database and Weipu database were searched for all publications about the susceptibility of asthma and the rs1042713 polymorphisms of ADRB2 gene in Chinese Population.The article which met the inclusion criteria were assessed by the STA-TA12.0 software.Results:12 studies were included,with 2 193 asthmatic patients and 2 033 controls.All the included articles were satisfied to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.The results of Meta-analysis was showed that the risk of asthma of the mutations G carriers ( GG +GA) on ADRB2 gene rs1042713 loci in Chinese people compared with the wild-type homozygotes( AA) was not significantly in-creased overall(OR=1.08,95% CI=0.82-1.44).However,subgroup analysis showed that the risk of G carriers of children had a relatively higher incidence(OR=1.69,95% CI 0.99-2.87),while the risk of adult-onset have a relatively lower incidence(OR=0.88,95%CI 0.68-1.15).Conclusion:The ADRB2 gene rs1042713 polymorphisms have a certain correlation with the susceptibility of asthma in Chinese children,the mutant gene G carriers may relatively increase the risk of asthma in childhood.

Objective To investigate the application of capillary electrophoresis by dried filter blood paper for screening of α-thalassemia in neonates .Methods The hemoglobin (Hb) of 46 718 cases of neonatal dried heel blood spots were analyzed by the capillary electrophoresis and the content of HbA ,HbF ,HbA2 and abnormal Hb were detected ,the phenotype cases which was screened positive were recalled for genetic analysis .Results A total of 2 598 cases of Bart hemoglobin (Hb Bart′s) positive were detected in 46 718 cases of neonatal heel blood dried blood spots .The screening positive rate was 5 .56% (2 598/46 718) .A total of 477 cases of α-thalassemia gene carriers were confirmed by genetic analysis in the 544 cases which were recalled .The coincidence rate of Hb Bart′s screening and genetic diagnosis was 87 .68% (477/544) .By analyzing the relationship between the clinical pheno-types and the content of Hb Bart′s ,we found the Hb Bart′s content gradually increased with the severity of clinical phenotype ,and the difference was statistically significant (P= 0 .000) .Conclusion There is a good consistency between the capillary electrophore-sis of dried filter blood paper and the genetic analysis .It could be determined α-thalassemia clinical type according to the Hb Bart′s content .
