OBJECTIVE:
To explore the mutation of Y-STR loci in meiotic allelic transmission in a large pedigree.
METHODS:
The oral swabs of 163 male individuals were collected from a Lin pedigree. Twenty-two Y-STR genetic markers were typed with AGCU Y24 fluorescent detection kit (AGCU Y24 system), which also contained 16 Y-STR markers included in Yfiler multiple amplification kit (Yfiler system). The genotyping results of Y-STR loci were compared between each two males in the pedigree.
RESULTS:
There were 20 and 30 kinds of haplotypes obtained with Yfiler and AGCU Y24 systems in 163 male individuals from the Lin pedigree, respectively. The rates referred to haplotype differences (RRHD) of these two typing systems between male pairs were 0.910 5 and 0.922 7, respectively. The average number of marker differences were 6.582 1 and 9.824 8, respectively. The RRHD increased along with the incidents of meiosis.
CONCLUSION
Y-STR mutation leads to different Y-STR haplotypes among the male members in a paternal pedigree and the rate of difference increases along with the incidents of meiosis.

Objective To investigated the effects of combined arsenic trioxide(ATO) and resveratrol(Res)on the viability of NB4 human leukemia cells. Methods NB4 human leukemia cell was used in this experiment.Cells were cultured in ATO (0,0.1875,0.3750,0.7500, 1.1250, 1.5000,2.2500,3.0000,5.0000 μmol/L) and Res (0, 1.5625,3.1250,6.2500, 12.5000, 18.7500,25.0000,37.5000,50.0000 μmol/L). Cell viabilities were measured by MTT in different treatment groups. Half inhibitory concentration(IC50) was calculated. The ratio of concentration of ATO and Res 1.5∶ 18,1.5∶ 25,1.5∶ 35 was added to cells, and the combination index(CI) was calculated. The level of ROS in control, ATO( 1.5000 μmol/L), Res(25.0000 μmol/L) and ATO(0.9000 μmol/L) + Res( 12.5000μmol/L) groups was measured by chemiluminescence assay. Results ①ATO( ≥0.7500 μmol/L) reduced the viability of NB4 cells in a concentration-dependent manner(P < 0.05 ), and IC50 was (1.78 ± 0.11 )μmol/L. ②)Res (≥18.7500 μ mol/L) dose-dependently decreased the viability of NB4 cells (P < 0.05 ), and IC50 was ( 18.71 ±0.18)μ mol/L. ③Combination of ATO and Res showed an antagonistic effect on NB4 cells viability. ④The ROS in Res group( 1670.55 ± 13.97) was significantly lower than that in control group(2345.88 ± 14.48,P < 0.05). The ROS in ATO group (3092.42 ± 94.84) was significantly higher than that in control group(P < 0.05). The ROS in ATO + Res group (1860.27 ± 15.99) was significantly lower than that in ATO group(P < 0.05). Conclusions NB4 cell survival rate can be decreased by ATO and Res. The combination of arsenic trioxide and Res presents an antagonistic effect on NB4 cell viability, in part by reducing intracellular ROS formation.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the role of excretory/secretory antigens from Clonorchis sinensis (CsESAs) in hepatic fibrosis induced by C. sinensis infection in rats and explore the possible mechanism.
METHODSCsESAs was collected from adult C. sinensis cultured in sterile condition for 12 h and injected intraperitoneally in Wistar rats. Masson staining was used to observe the changes in the hepatic collagen fiber after the injection. HE staining and immunofluorescence staining were performed to detect the expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) to examine the proliferation and the activity of hepatic stellate cells. The specific antibody titer of CsESAs was determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to investigate the role of the antigen-antibody complex in the development of hepatic fibrosis.
RESULTSAfter intraperitoneal injection of CsESAs, obvious hepatic fibrosis and hepatic stellate cell proliferation and activation were observed in the rat livers. The severity of the hepatic fibrosis was associated with the dose of CsESAs injected, whereas the titer of the specific antibody against CsESAs showed no direct relation to the hepatic fibrosis.
CONCLUSIONIntraperitoneal injection of CsESAs can cause hepatic stellate cell activation and hepatic fibrosis in rats, but the antigen-antibody complex does not seem to play the key role in the activation of the hepatic stellate cells.

Objective To measure nurses' work time distribution in direct nursing, indirect nursing, non-nursing activity and personal activity and effective work hour and walk miles. Methods Observers recorded nurses' work time cost on each activity and walk miles by one-to-one following-up at Department of Gastroenterology and General Surgery in a Grade-A hospital. Results Direct nursing time made up 35. 75 % , indirect time 53. 19 % , non-nursing activity 0. 49 % ; personal activity 10. 56 %. The effective working time among day work nurses was 6.80 and 6.28 in the two Department respectively, while 6. 10 and 5.36 among shift nurses. An average walk miles were about 4. 36 km/d/nurse, 4. 64 km among day work nurses and 3. 67 km among night work nurses. Conclusions Indirect nursing cost too much time while some very important direct nursing items cost too little time. Nurses' actual effective work-hour is higher than the standard one. Nurses' walk miles are positively correlated with workload. Hospital should dynamically deploy nursing human resource according to all kinds of criterion and nosocomial practice. In the meantime, long effective mechanism should be established to ensure that patients can obtain suitable nursing without waste of manpower.
