Objective To prepare the standard molecular weight fragment mixtures. Methods Primers were designed to prepare clones which contained different sizes of standard molecular weight fragments. The template used for amplification of insert fragments was the pMD18-T vector. Bacteria culture and plasmid extraction were used to obtain abundant target fragment. Unlabeled DNA fragments were prepared by double digestion of the recombinant plasmids, and the fluorescent adaptor was prepared by annealing with two partial reverse complimentary DNA fragments. The unlabeled fragments and fluorescent adaptor were connected by DNA ligation reaction assisted with T4 DNA ligase. In this way, different sizes of standard molecular weight fragments were prepared. Standard molecular weight fragment mixture was finally prepared by mixing all the fragments together before purification. Results Ten standard molecular weight fragments of different sizes were prepared. The sizes of each fragment are 80bp, 124bp, 194bp, 224bp, 254bp, 304bp, 349bp, 399bp, 424bp and 454bp. The internal standard could accurately determine the size of PCR products amplified with the DNATyper15 kit. Conclusion Using this method, the standard molecular weight fragment mixture which meet the requirements of research and laboratory use was prepared, perfectly providing a new method for preparation of the DNA molecular weight standards. The peaks and the size of the prepared DNA internal lane standard are correct, which can be used to calculate the DNA fragments size in capillary electrophoresis.

Cancer Research and Clinic 2019;31(6):425-428
The pathogenesis of colorectal cancer is related to genetic and environmental factors. Chronic inflammation of the intestinal mucosa is one of the most important factors in environmental factors. In inflammation factors, Intestinal flora plays a role in bridging and inducing intervention. Environmental changes disrupt the homeostasis of intestinal flora, intestinal flora maladjustment occurred, bacteria induces intestinal mucosal inflammation. The pathogenic bacterium adheres to the surface of the intestinal mucosa, it produces cytotoxic and genotoxic products, intestinal epithelial cells undergo genetic damage. The synthesis and metabolites of bacteria also control the occurrence of colorectal tumor process. This process leads to the progression of inflammation to cancer. This article reviews the process of intestinal flora mediated from inflammation to carcinogenesis, and the latest progress in related pathogenic bacteria, and proposes that the intestinal flora can be adjusted and targeted removal of the conditional pathogenic bacteria, and achieve the goal of cancer prevention. The relationship between intestinal flora, intestinal inflammation and colorectal cancer is reviewed.

Objective:To serologically and genotypically analyze the pedigree of a case with a new allele c.175_176insGA of B el subtype and preliminarily explore the molecular mechanism of weak expression of glycosyltransferase B. Method:In the descriptive study,a 23-year-old male voluntary blood donor and his family members were selected for the study. The ABO and Le blood types of the proband and his family members was identified by the test tube method. The agglutination inhibition test was applied to detect the B and H antigens in saliva, and the Sanger sequencing and PacBio (Pacific Bioscience) third-generation haplotype sequencing were performed on the study subjects to identify genotypes. Finally, Expasy software were applied to amino acid translation of DNA sequences and prediction of protein length after gene alteration. ORF finder was applied to predict alternative start codons as well as open reading frames of mRNA, and protein expression mechanisms were analyzed.Results:The proband and her sister were B el subtype, her mother was AB el subtype, her father was normal O type, and all members of the family were Le(a+b+) phenotype. Sanger sequencing results showed that a new allele of c.175_176insGA was found in exon 4 of the proband, her mother, and her sister. Third-generation haplotype sequencing detected the haplotypes of the family members, which revealed that the proband was ABO*O.01.02/ABO*BEL.NEW (c.175_176insGA), the father was ABO*O.01.02/ABO*O.01.02, the mother was ABO*A1.02/ABO*BEL.NEW (c.175_176insGA), and the sister was ABO*O.01.02/ABO*BEL.NEW (c.175_176insGA). Analysis of the protein expression mechanism indicated that although the new allele of ABO*BEL.NEW was presumed to cause a frameshift mutation and result in a premature stop codon p.Asp59Glu*fs20 in exon 5, encoding an inactive glycosyltransferase, an alternative start codon could be utilized to initiate translation of B el subtype functional glycosyltransferase. Conclusion:Expression of the new allele of B el subtype is associated with the translation of B el subtype glycosyltransferase initiated by alternative start codons.
