Next generation sequencing (NGS),also known as massively parallel sequencing (MPS),with significant advantages such as high throughput,rapidness,integration and low cost,has been widely used in research and clinical diagnosis fields and promises bright future for forensic applications.Compared with traditional DNA sequencing methods,NGS technologies allow the simultaneous detection of various forensic genetic markers.The classical CE-based STR genotyping method only can differentiate alleles with length polymorphism.However,there are occasions like DNA base substitution and repeat sequence variations,which give different alleles with the same size of amplicons.These alleles are heritable from parents to off-springs,and could be of great importance for solving criminal cases.NGS-based STR genotyping can be compatible with current STR data output mode,and allows for the full resolution of STR loci by providing additional sequencing polymorphism information.In this article,the authors focused on the forensic STR genetic markers and next generation sequencing,and reviewed recent progresses on NGS-based STR genotyping.Perspectives of NGS-based full resolution STR genotyping were presented and possible challenges were discussed in the hope of providing a reference for related studies and applications.

Most pelvic fractures were commonly seen in polytrauma caused by violent forces,and often complicated with hemorrhagic shock,with mortality being 25%～39%.Anti-shock and control of bleeding are th e philosophy of treatment of this critical condition.Since 1985,hundred s of pelvic fracture victims have bee n sal-vaged in my hospital by VIP procedure which means ventilation(V),infusion(I),and pulsation(P).First,V was to establish an airway,then I was to manage hypovolumic shock,and fin ally,P was to improve the impaired heart function to maintain normal hemodynamics and tissue perfusion.It was necessary for antishock therapy to infuse rapidly and sufficiently in o rder to gain diluted blood.Pneumatic antishock garment,angiography an d em-bolism,and retroperitoneal tampon aded bleeding could control most hem orrhage associated with pelvic fractures.[

Objective To investigate the expression of MMP-9 genes in primary hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods RT-PCR was used to detect MMP-9 mRNA in surgically extracted specimens from 28 patients with HCC.Results The expression of MMP-9 mRNA was significantly higher in tumor than in corresponding nontumoral tissue(P0.05).Meanwhile,the expression of MMP-9 mRNA in HCC was significantly correlated to the existence of portal vein tumor thrombus(P

A method of LC-QTOF/MS combining with chemical synthesis has been used to determine the structures of three novel bile acids from bear bile powder. Reference substances of tauroursodeoxycholic acid and taurochenodeoxycholic acid were oxidized by pyridinium chlorochromate. The products were analyzed by LC-QTOF/MS. Total 4 products including 3 isomers were predicted and identified according to the PCC oxidation theory and LC-QTOF/MS results. Bear bile powder samples were dissolved by methanol and analyzed by LC-QTOF/MS. Three unknown peaks were found and identified as 2-[[(3beta, 5beta)-3-hydroxy-7, 24-dioxocholan-24-yl]amino]-ethanesulfonic acid, 2-[[(5beta)-3, 7, 24-trioxocholan-24-yl]amino]-ethanesulfonic acid and 2-[[(5beta, 7beta)-7-hydroxy-3, 24-dioxocholan-24-yl]amino]-ethanesulfonic acid, separately, by matching their results with that of oxidation products above.

Objective To explore the effect of low frequency vibration (LFV) on osteogenesis of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and OPG mRNA,RANKL mRNA expression.MethodsBMSCs from 10-week-old female SD rats were cultured and randomly divided into 2 groups:control group and vibration group.The BMSCs of vibration group was given LVF with 20 Hz,0.25 g,2 times/d,10 min/time for 7 days.The LFV was given from the eleventh day after BMSCs cultured.The osteogenesis and OPG mRNA,RANKL mRNA of all BMSCs in two group were tested at the end of LFV.ResultsCompared to the control groups,the BMSCs growth and proliferation improved in vibration group,but the alkaline phosphatase (ALP)activity and the number of mineral nodule did not changed significantly.The OPG mRNA elevated in vibration group,while the RANKL mRNA showed no change.ConclusionThe LFV may increase the growth and proliferation of BMSCs,which is attributed to the elevated OPG gene expression.The osteogenesis improved no significance,which may be associated with the too short vibration time.

Objective To evaluate the microscopic characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) invasion,and to provide the reference for GTV-to-CTV expansion. Methods From January 2002 to January 2006,149 HCC patients treated by surgical resection were included. The pathologic slices and clinical data were reviewed, including the tumor size, capsule status, tumor edge, portal vein invasion, TNM stage, histology grade, serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), platelet count and the degree of liver cirrhosis. The distance between the tumor capsule and the invasion was measured by 2 senior pathologists. Results of the 149 patients evaluated,79(53.0%) patients presented micro-invasion ranged between 0.5-4.0 mm. The recurrence rate was higher in patients with micro-invasion than those without (44% vs 29%, P=0.047). The invasion extent was positively relative to the tumor size, capsule status, tumor edge, portal vein invasion, TNM stage,histology grade and AFP,while negatively relative to the platelet count. A score system was established according to five predictors of tumor size, capsule status, portal vein invasion, AFP and platelet count. The invasion distance below 2 mm was in 96.6% patients who had≤2 points and only 83.3% for those with 2 points. Conclusions For HCC patients,the invasion extent is relative to the tumor size,cap sule status,portal vein invasion, AFP and platelet count. These 5 predictors could be potentially used as a score system for GTV-to-CTV expansion.

Objective To evaluate the value of cholangiography for early diagnosis of ischemic-type biliary lasions(ITBL) after liver transplantation. Methods Two hundred and fifty-three patients with liver transplantaion between Jan 2004 and Oct 2006 were recruited. Initial cholangiography was compared with terminal cholangiography to evaluate the value of initial cholangiography of ITBL. The t test, Chi-square test, sum rank test were used for statistics. Results Based on initial cholangiography, 189 patients were diagnosed with normal appearance, while 64 patients were diagnosed with abnormal appearance. The abnormal initial cholangiography appearances included poor filling in 33 patients and irregularity in 31 patients. Based on terminal cholangiogruphy, 199 patients were diagnosed with normal appearance and 54 patients with ITBL In patients with abnormal initial cholangiography, ITBL was occurred in 39 of 64 patients including 10 of 33 poor frlling patients and 29 of 31 irregularity patients. In patients with normal initial appearance, ITBL was only occurred in 15 of 189 patients. The abnormal initial cholangiography was associated with ITBL significantly (X2 = 79.999, P = 0.000, r = 0.490). Initial cholangiography had an overall sensitivity of 72.22%, and specificity of 87.44%, with positive and negative predictive values of 60.94% and 92.06%, respectively. The abnormal initial cholangiogruphy was a risk factor of ITBL by logistic regression analyses(OR=15.193, P=0.000). Conclusion The abnormal initial cholangiography is associated with ITBL Initial cholangiography, especially minimal irregular of intrabepatic biliary tract, is a sensitive and specific method for the detection of ITBL after liver transplantation.
