Objective To investigating the application of serum carbohydrate antigen 199(CA199) level increase in the patients with different characters of obstructive jaundice .Methods 21 patients with benign obstructive jaundice (benign group) and 24 pa‐tients with malignant obstructive jaundice (malignant group) were selected .The CA199 level in these two groups was higher than the reference value .Serum CA199 level was all higher than average value .The changes of serum CA199 level and direct bilirubin (DBIL) before and after treatment were dynamically monitored and their correlation was analyzed .Results There was no statisti‐cally significant difference in serum CA199 and DBIL levels before treatment between the benign group and the malignant group (P> 0 .05) .The serum CA199 and DBIL levels after treatment in the benign group were obviously decreased compared with before treatment ,the difference was statistically significant (P< 0 .05) ,however ,which in the malignant group had no statistical difference between before and after treatment (P > 0 .05) .Conclusion CA199 is not a marker of very high tumor specificity ,and could not serve as the sole marker for judging benign and malignant diseases .Dynamically monitoring the change of serum CA199 before and after treatment and its correlation with DBIL is conducive to differentiate between benign with malignant diseases .

To investigate haplotype distribution of the Y-chromosome STRs (DYS19, DYS390 and DYS389 locus) in Han population in Guangdong area. The STRs were typed by poplymerase chain reaction followed by discontinuous PAGE system. Among 130 unrelated males, 81 different haplotypes were observed, 52 out of them were found only one time. The haplotype genetic diversity, discrimination power and non-father exclusion chance are 0. 9989, 0. 9824, 0. 9824, respectively. The high informative haplotypes make these STRs useful for the forensic individual identification and paternity testing.

Objective To investigate the polymorphism of DXS6854 locus in Guangdong Han population. Methods The DXS6854 locus was analyzed by PCR following polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining. Results Among 189 females and 230 males from Guangdong Han population, 8 alleles were observed with frequencies ranging from 0.0026 to 0.4522. Exact tests demonstrated genotype frequencies in females had no departure from Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium. The discrimination powers for female and male original samples were 0.8633 and 0.7012, respectively. When both mother and her daughter were tested, the probability of excluding a random man as a father was 0.6712. Conclusion The DXS6854 locus is appropriate for individual identification and paternity testing involving a female child.

Objective Estimate the paternity exclusion probability for 15 short tandem repeats (CODIS set plus Penta D and Penta E) in duo paternity tests. Methods 644 random individuals were paired to con-struct 207046 fictitious duo families. Cases of non-exclusion or with only one exclusionarylocus were count-ed. Results 27 cases could not be excluded by the 15 STR loci. The combined probability of exclusion was 0.999869. Number of cases showing only one exclusionary locus was 384 (0.185%). Conclusion To con-firm relationship in duo cases with only 15 STRs should be careful. Extensive genetic markers is needed to discriminate one locus exclusion or mutation.

AIM: To observe the effect of Tongjingning Capsule (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Rhizoma Cyperi, etc.) on reproductive organs of female immature mice and anti inflammatry analgesia. METHODS: Mouse uterus and ovaries were weighted. Mouse twisting numbers induced by acetic acid and mouse pain thresholds after heat stimulation were recorded. Swelling of mouse external ears, swelling of rat toes and rat granuloma were used for experiment models. RESULTS: Tongjingning Capsule significantly increased the weight of mouse uterus and ovaries. It could reduce mouse twisting numbers and prolong mouse pain thresholds after heat stimulation. It had inhibitory effects on swelling of mice's external ears resulted by dimethylbenzene, rat granuloma and swelling of rat toes resulted by egg white. CONCLUSION: Tongjingning Capsule can promote the growth of reproductive organs of female immature mice and ease pain and diminish inflammation.

Objective To establish the rat model of collagen-induced arthritis and study the diagnostic value of MRI for early RA by comparing to pathological changes. Methods Thirty Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal groups and experimental groups.Fifteen rats of the experimental groups were immunized with type Ⅱ collagen and Freund's Adjuvant Incomplete. At the scheduled days, the selected rats of both experimental and normal groups underwent X-ray, 1.5T MR scan plus enhancement and histological analysis. Results Arthritis Index increased on the 14th day after immunization and reached the peak on the 28th day in the experimental group, the positivity of Anti-CⅡ antibody was significantly different from the normal group.The experiemental model was established in 93.33% of all rats. The enhanced MRI showed that 12 (12/15) rats presented with abnormal signs . The sensitivity of MRI was 85.71% and the specificity was 100%. There was no significant correlation could be found between MRI and histological changes X-ray revealed soft tissue swollen in 4 (4/15) rats, which showed that MRI had higher sensitivity in detecting abnormal signs of arthritis than X-ray. Conclusion MRI may be used in the early diagnosis of early RA.

[Objective] To learn about the genetic diversity,we studied the five X-chromosomal STR (X-STR) loci in Guangdong Han Nationality Groups.[Methods] The five Loci (DXS6803,DXS981,DXS6809,DXS6789,and DXS7132) were amplified in a pentaplex PCR reaction.PCR products were analyzed using capillary electrophoresis and ABI prism 3100 Genetic Analyzer,with GeneMapper ID 3.1 Analysis Software.[Results] A total of 363 individuals (181 unrelated male and 182 unrelated female) from Guangdong Han population were tested,54 alleles were observed for these loci.Polymorphism information content is 0.6935 ～ 0.8177.Power of discrimination in females was 0.8976 ～ 0.9562.Mean exclusion chance for X-STR in standard trios with daughters was 0.7805 ～ 0.8467.[Conclusion] The five loci in the multiplex system provide high polymorphism information for forensic identification and paternity testing,particularly for difficult paternity deficiency cases.

Objective To establish animal models of functional dyspepsia with spleen deficiency and to compare the efficacy of different methods.Methods Rat models were established by iodoacetamide(IA)-treatment or combined with swimming.Appearance,body weight,food intake of the rats were observed,and serum motilin,cholecystokinin,lactate,gastrin content and urinary D-xylose excretion rates were detected to confirm whether the model of functional dyspepsia with spleen deficiency was established.Results The IA-treated rats had less food intake and a slower body weight gain.The IA-treated combined with swimming rats presented spleen-hypofunction symptoms,such as emaciation,hair dry and loose stools,their urinary D-xylose excretion rate,serum motilin,gastrin content were decreased,and serum cholecystokinin and lactate contents were increased significantly (P<0.05 for all).Conclusions All the three methods used in this study can result in symptoms of functional dyspepsia with spleen deficiency.However,IA-treatment combined with swimming models appear more close to spleen deficiency-like presentation,and the best model is the IA-treated combined with platform standing.

Objective To establish a method to simultaneously determine syringing and isofraxidin by HPLC;To investigate the features of percutaneous absorption in vitro of Jiegugao blended and pasted by white vinegar, honey and vaseline; To discuss the mechanism of commonly used ointment matrices in Tujia Minority. Methods Rat abdomen skin in vitro was as transdermal barrier;the modified Franz diffusion pool was used to simulate human skin medication; the content of syringin and isoprofen was determined by HPLC; the percutaneous absorption equation was established and the related parameters, such as cumulative permeation rate and permeation rate, were calculated. Results When using Syncronis C18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) as chromatographic column, acetonitrile-0.1%phosphoric acid as mobile phase, 1.0 mL/min as perfusion speed and 265 nm as determine wavelength, regression equation of syringingwas A=10 686.454 6C+1565.778 8 (r=1.000 0), regression equation of isofraxidin was A=12 297.305 4C-5913.729 9 (r=0.999 9). Cumulative permeation quantity of syringing in Jiegugao blended and pasted by white vinegar, honey, vaseline and blank were 7.549 2, 4.580 3, 3.890 8 and 5.378 4 μg?cm-2?h-1 respectively and permeation rate were 25.66%, 16.11%, 13.73% and 18.78%. Meanwhile, cumulative permeation quantity of isofraxidin were 2.536 9, 1.941 8, 1.178 2 and 2.293 6 μg?cm-2?h-1 respectively and permeation rate were 47.04%, 35.06%, 22.11%and 41.11%. Conclusion Using white vinegar as the ointment matrix can promote the percutaneous absorption of effective composition in Jiegugao blended. However, it will retard the percutaneous absorption of effective composition in Jiegugao when using honey and vaseline as the ointment matrices, but honey and vaseline can be used as a slow-release matrix.
