【Objective】 To understand the polymorphism of D13S63 1 in Guangdong Han population. 【Method】 Short tandem repeat (STR) locus D13S63 1 was analyzed by means of polymerase chain reaction, following discontinuous el ectrophoresis system. 【Result】 Among 227 unrelated individuals from Guangdong Han population, 6 alleles rang from 197~217 bp could be observed. The most com mon allele with a frequency 0.2907 is allele 201 bp, the rare allele is allele 197 bp with a frequency 0.0903. The heterozygosity, the power of discrimination and the exclusion chance in paternity case were 0.7885,0.9231, 0.5543, respect ively. Segregation studies reveal that D13S631 inherit in Medel's Law. 【Conclus ion】 The result shows that locus D13S631 is highly informative and suitable fo r forensic application.

Objective To evaluate the clinical usefulness of determining the liver reserve function by estimating the retention rate of indocyanine green at fifteen minutes(ICGR15) before interventional chemoembolization in treating patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods Forty-three patients with HCC were enrolled in this study.Before interventional chemoembolization ICGR15 and Child-Pugh classification were estimated in all patients.Based on the ICGR15,the patients were divided into three groups.After chemoembolization,all the patients were divided into two groups according to liver function condition: group M(showing mild hepatic dysfunction) and group S(developing severe hepatic dysfunction).The occurrence of postoperative hepatic dysfunction and the difference in the hepatic function changes between three groups were analyzed.Results After interventional chemoembolization the occurrence of hepatic dysfunction were significantly different between three groups divided by ICGR15 test(P

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that targets motor neurons without efficient treatment. Stem cell receives the enormous attention because it from specific tissues can differentiate into motor neuron. Stem cells from specific tissues could be used for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, such as embryonic stem cells, neural stem cells, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells. The mechanism of stem-cell therapy includes cell-replacement, delivery neurotrophic factors and immunomodulation. Animal researches and some clinical trails have confirmed that stem cells have great potential to treat neurodegenerative diseases. Till now, people are still unknown some aspects of stem cells, and many problems still need to be resolved.

Objective To analyze the difference of frontal-cingulate functional connection between patients with major depression and healthy controls in recognization of sad facial expression, and discuss the neutral basis of emotional bias in preliminary. Methods 12 female patients with major depression and 12 matched healthy controls were scanned. The intensities of brain activation in the process of sad and neutral facial expression recognition were analyzed, and the strengths of frontal-cingulate functional connection were compared between the two groups based on dynamic causal modeling. Results Comparing the stimulus adjusting connection models with Bayesian model indicated that model Ⅱ matched with the observation data better. In the comparison between model Ⅱ and model I ,the average Bayes factor was more than 7.38. In the comparison between model Ⅱ and model Ⅲ,the average Bayes factor was more than 2.71. Calculating the intrinsic connection parameters and stimulus adjusting connection parameters based on intrinsic connection model and stimulus adjusting connection model( model Ⅱ ), the result showed that connection strength between anterior cingulate and right inferior frontal gyrus in depression was greater than that in healthy controls. Conclusion The frontal-cingulate functional connection of patients with major depression is increased abnormally ,which may be the neural basis of negative emotional bias.

Objective To study the relationship of expression of metastasis suppressor gene nin23-H1 protein in gastric carcinoma tissue and tumor infiltration and metastasis.Methods The expression of metastasis suppressor gene nm23-H1 protein in 50 gastric carcinoma tissues was detected by SP immunohistocbemistry tech-nology.Results Correlations were presented among expression of nm23-H1 protein, infiltrate grade of gastric carcinoma, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage.Conclusions Expression of nm23-H1 may suppress infiltra-tion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma, Low expression of nm23-H1 protein may be of great reference value in judgement of tumor progression, metastasis and reeidivation.

Objective To Study the expression and clinical meaning of nm23-H1,c-Met and survivin protein in gastric carcinoma tissue.Methods Expression of nm23-H1,c-Met and survivin protein in 50 paraffin block samples of gastric carcinoma were detected by S-P immunohistochemistry technology.The relationship of expression to tumor differentiation degree,infiltration depth,lymph node metastasis,TNM stage,tumor metastasis and reeidivation were analyzed.Results The positive expression rates of nm23-H1,c-Met and survivin protein were 46%,72% and 80%,low nm23-H1 protein expression and high c-Met protein expression correlated tightly with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis of gastric carcinoma,high survivin protein expression correlated tightly with differentiation degree,TNM stage and lymph node metastasis of gastric carcinoma,there was a inverse correlation between nm23-H1 protein expression and survivin,but a direct correlation between c-Met and survivin.Conclusions Low nm23-H1 protein expression and high c-Met and survivin expression has important guidance significance of making a early diagnosis and judging prognosis.Selective gene therapy guided by these may be helpful.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and Ki-67 in breast can-cer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and explore the association of chemotherapy regimens and cycles with the outcome of NAC. Methods:Clinical data of cancer patients receiving NAC were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were admit-ted in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from January 2015 to December 2015. All statistical analyses were per-formed using SPSS version 19.0. The relationship among the outcome of NAC, molecular subtype, expression levels of ER, PR, and Ki-67, and chemotherapy regimens and cycles was investigated. Results:Only five HER-2(+) patients accepted the addition of trastuzum-ab in treatment, and few cases were excluded from the statistical analysis based on the effect of chemotherapy regimens. The effec-tiveness of NAC was positively correlated with the expression of Ki-67 whereas negatively correlated with the expression levels of ER and PR (P<0.05). In patients receiving NAC, the patients with Luminal subtype had worse outcome than those with non-Luminal sub-type (P=0.033). The invalid efficacy of pathologic evaluations of Luminal and non-Luminal NAC were 10.1%and 1.3%, respectively. No significant difference was found in the outcome among patients receiving TE, TEC, or EC-T;however, patients who received more than four cycles of NAC had better outcome than others (P=0.016). The outcome was statistically significant when the cut-off value of Ki-67 was 25%. Conclusion:Ki-67 proliferative index could be used as a prognostic marker to NAC in breast cancer patients. The cut-off value of Ki-67 should be determined on the basis of the data of each cancer patient. The curative effect of NAC was poor, and Luminal pa-tients with chemotherapy were insensitive and could be considered for surgical treatment. Patients who received less than four cycles of NAC had worse outcome than others, and prompt NAC foot treatment could improve the efficiency.
