Objective To study the expression of BMI-l gene in children with acute leukemia and its clinical significance.Methods The clinical specimens of 46 children with acute leukemia who were diagnosed lately in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and other hospitals in Zhengzhou from Jul.1,2008 to Apr.30,2009 were collected,while peripheral blood specimens of 30 healthy children were collected as control group.With the guardians′ informed consent,the experiment was approved through the hospital ethics committee.The level of BMI-1 mRNA′s expression was tested using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR),while data were analyzed through the application of SPSS 12.0 statistical software.Results 1.The level of BMI-l gene′s expression in children with acute leukemia was significantly higher than that in control group(P0.05),after complete remission,BMI-1 mRNA was not detected in the 2 groups;4.Compared with the complete remission group,expression of BMI-1 mRNA in the untreated group and the recurrence group was significantly higher(P0.05).Conclusions BMI-1 gene was highly expressed in children with acute leukemia,and the level of the gene expression in patients of complete remission normalized,which suggests that the gene may be involved in the occurrence and the development process of leukemia;therefore,it is possible to regard the gene as a molecular marker to evaluate the development,relapse and prognosis of the patients with acute leukemia.

Lipases have catalytic active in both aqueous phase and the non-aqueous phase and have a wide range of application in various industrial areas.However,the high cost of lipase production has restricted its extensive use in industry.Solid state fermentation possesses many advantages,such as low requirement for devices,low energy consumption,low production cost,little pollution to environment and easily being popularized,which have made it an important means in microbial production of lipases.Owing to the rapidly increased energy cost and the people's awareness of environmental protection,the solid state fermentation technique,which was regarded as low-tech in the past,has regained attention and developed rapidly since the 1990s.The production of lipase by SSF technique was reviewed.Mainly contents describe its characteristics,including physical and chemical factors and bioreactors.

Objective To investigate the transactivating effect of hepatitis C virus(HCV)core protein on inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS)gene promoter and the molecular biological mecha- nisms of HCV pathogenesis.Methods Polymerase chain reaction(PCR)technique was employed to amplify the sequence of iNOS promoter by using HepG2 genomic DNA as template,and the product was cloned into pGEM-T vector.The iNOSp gene was cut from T-iNOSp by KpnⅠand XhoⅠ,and then was cloned into pCAT3-Basic,the constructed vector was named as pCAT3-iNOSp,pCAT3-iN- OSp was transfected into the LO_2 cell line.LO_2 cell was also cotransfected with pcDNA3.1(-)-core and pCAT3-iNOSp by FuGENE 6 transfection reagents.The LO_2 cells transfected with pCAT3-Basic was used as negative control.The activity of CAT in LO_2 cells was detected by an ELISA kit after 48 hours,which reflected the transactivating function of HCV core protein to iNOS gene promoter.Re- sults The expressive vector pcDNA3.1(-)-core and report vector pCAT3-iNOSp had been construc- ted and confirmed by restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing.The expression of CAT in LO_2 cells transfected with pCAT3-iNOSp and peDNA3,1(-)-core was 11 times as higher as that of pCAT3-bas- ic,and 6 times as higher as that of pCAT3-iNOSp.Conclusion It is suggested that HCV core protein can transactivate iNOS gene promoter.

Background:The incidence of duodenal Brunner’s gland hyperplasia is low and the etiology and pathogenesis has not yet been clarified. Aims:To investigate the relationship between duodenal Brunner’s gland hyperplasia and Helicobacter pylori( Hp ) infection. Methods:A total of 96 patients with duodenal Brunner ’s gland hyperplasia diagnosed by pathological examination from October 2005 to December 2013 at People’s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were enrolled in this study,and 270 cases without duodenal Brunner’s gland hyperplasia were served as controls. Hp infection was detected by 14 C-urea breath test( 14 C-UBT). The relationship between duodenal Brunner’s gland hyperplasia and Hp infection was analyzed. Results:In the duodenal Brunner ’s gland hyperplasia group,75 patients were Hp positive,the proportion of Hp infection was 3. 57( 75/21 ). In the control group,110 cases were Hp positive,the proportion of Hp infection was 1. 45(160/110). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(χ2 =10. 97,P=0. 001). Hp infection was a risk factor of the genesis of duodenal Brunner’s gland hyperplasia( OR=2. 46, 95% CI:1. 44-4. 19). Conclusions:Hp infection may be related with the genesis of duodenal Brunner’s gland hyperplasia.
