1.Clinical and genetic analysis in two families with huntington disease
Acta Universitatis Medicinalis Anhui 2015;(1):33-36
Objective To investigate the relation between CAG expansion length and clinical symptoms in hunting-ton′s disease ( HD) ,and to evaluate the value of CAG age product ( CAP score) in the clinical practice. Methods Two Han Chinese HD family members’ clinical data, including clinical symptoms and signs, the Cambridge cog-nitive examination-Chinese version ( CAMCOG-C) and Hamilton depression rating scale were collected, and these two families pedigree trees were drawn. Volunteers peripheral venous blood was extracted to pursue IT15 genetic test. CAP scores among members whose CAG repeat number was more than 35 were calculated. Results The pedi-gree trees indicated that HD was autosomal dominant inheritance. Among 6 participants who had pursued genetic test,1 was normal and 5 were carring expanded allele; according to fomal clinical diagnosis criteria,2 participants were in manifest period and 3 were in pre-manifest period. Individuals in manifest period had clinical triad,and in-divudals in premanifest period,though hadn’ t been clinically diagnoseded, were characterized by subtle motor,cog-nitive,behavioural or personality changes. Conclusion HD prior to clinical diagnosis may have mild clinical symptoms;the more CAG repeats indicate earlier onset, the heavier the symptoms. CAP score as a parameter, combined with the CAG repeat number and the age, is of great significance for predicting the onset age, clinical tri-al subjects grouping, and give a better understanding of the natural history of HD.

Cancer stem cells are a new field with the gradual deep understanding of the stem cell research. Although its history is not long, the rapid development showed a good potential prospect. The existence of cancer stem cells and its use as tumor formation, growth and metastasis-based approach has been widely recognized. In theory, cancer stem cells derived from normal stem cells can transform. Cancer-causing factors can also be derived-from the dedifferentiation induced cells. Because it contains all-round, multi-and single stem cell, with the proliferation and differentiation potential of different directions, it is possible to explain the heterogeneity of tumor cells, and reasons for hypoxic environment, anti-cancer drugs and radiation resilience. In this area, it has been made a lot of progress in recent years. However, there are still some problems to be solved. Such as the identification of cancer stem cells, biological function and mechanism.

BACKGROUND:General y considered bone marrow cells obtained by adherent method are mesenchymal stem cells, and they can differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes and chondrocytes.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the differentiation capacity of bone marrow adherent cells into osteoclasts.
METHODS:Primary mouse mesenchymal stem cells were obtained using adherent method, and bone marrow cells were obtained through adherence 1-5 days. Both of them were cultured with normal medium and inducing medium containing m-csf and RANKL. After 9 days, cells were stained by alkaline phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase. The passage 2 mesenchymal stem cells were divided into four groups, which were induced by mock, m-csf, RANKL and m-csf+RANKL, respectively. After 9 days of culture, the cells were stained by alkaline phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Primary culture of adhered cells was uniform. Alkaline phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining of primary and passaged bone marrow adherent cells induced with m-csf+RANKL were positive. This result showed that there were cells that could be induced into osteoclasts in the primary and passaged bone marrow adherent cells. Alkaline phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining showed differences of adherent cells at different times after the induction, indicating that adherent cells at different times had different differentiation capacity.
