Objective To study the biochemical alterations in rat brain under chronic cerebral ischemia by means of 1H and 31 P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) Methods Chronic cerebral ischemia was induced by permanent bilateral commom carotid artery occlusion (2 VO)in the regions of the hippocampal CA1 area and the whole brain. Results In vivo 1H MRS did not reveal any significant change in the concentrations of N acetyl aspartate (NAA) and Lactate (Lac) in the hippocampal CA1 region 31 P MRS in the whole brain showed an elevation of phosphomonoesters (PME). The ratio of PME/(PME+PDE) was 0 54?0 03 in sham group and 0 69?0 02 in 2 VO group ( P

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of Yinaotongluo Capsule on diffuse weighting image and enenery metabolism of ischemia-reperfuing rat.MethodsMagnetic resonance diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI) and 1H and magnetic resonance spectroscopy(MRS) were performed in different brain regions in focal cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury model rats. ResultsYinaotongluo Capsule could significantly reduce the area and the intensity of infarction of rats by DWI 3 h and 5 d after treatment compared with the model group.The result of 1H MRS examination demonstrated Lac peak was lower and NAA peak higher than that of the model group. ConclusionYinaotongluo Capsule can effectually improve enenery metabolism during cerebral ischemia and reperfuing, so that to reduce the neuronal dysfunction and death in infarcts at the late stage.

Objective:To study the polar chemical constituents of Blettila striata(Thunb.) Reichb.f. Methods:The constituents in N-butanol moiety were separated and purified by column chromatography with silica gel and SephadexLH-20, and were identified by spectral analysis. Results:Five compounds were identified as: militarine(1);7-hydroxy-4-methoxy-phenanthrene-2-O-?-D-glucoside(2);4-methoxyphenanthrene-2,7-O-?-D-diglucoside(3);7-hydroxy-2,4-dimethoxyphenanthrene-3-O-glucoside(4);3′-hydroxy-5-methoxybibenzyl-3-O-?-glucopyranoside(5). Conclusion:Compound 1,5 were isolated from this plant for the first time.

KDM5B is a histone H3K4me2/3 demethylase. The PHD1 domain of KDM5B is critical for demethylation, but the mechanism underlying the action of this domain is unclear. In this paper, we observed that PHD1KDM5B interacts with unmethylated H3K4me0. Our NMR structure of PHD1KDM5B in complex with H3K4me0 revealed that the binding mode is slightly different from that of other reported PHD fingers. The disruption of this interaction by double mutations on the residues in the interface (L325A/D328A) decreases the H3K4me2/3 demethylation activity of KDM5B in cells by approximately 50% and increases the transcriptional repression of tumor suppressor genes by approximately twofold. These findings imply that PHD1KDM5B may help maintain KDM5B at target genes to mediate the demethylation activities of KDM5B.

【Objective】 To explore the performance verification of NAT and its procedures for HBV DNA, HCV RNA and HIV RNA-1 using PCR-fluorescence via Cobas s201 automatic NAT system and supporting MPX V2.0 reagents that applied in the laboratories of blood stations, in order to satisfy ISO 15189 accreditation requirements and ensure the accuracy of NAT results. 【Methods】 Samples used in external quality assessment(EQA) of year 2020 were taken to verify the concordance, Performance evaluation panel and sensitivity verification panel of Roche second-generation NAT system were used to verify the sensitivity/ specificity and the lower limit of detection, respectively.And HBV DNA, HCV RNA and HIV RNA-1 quality control products were used to verify the anti-interference ability. 【Results】 The concordance rate of 40 EQA, samples was 100%. The sensitivity and specificity of Cobas s201 automatic NAT system and supporting MPX V2.0 reagents in detecting HBV DNA, HCV RNA and HIV RNA-1 were all 100%. The lower detection limit for HBV DNA, HCV RNA and HIV RNA-1 all met the requirements of reagent instructions. The yielding of HBV DNA, HCV RNA and HIV RNA-1 were affected little with hemolysis at 500 mg/dL but interfered seriously as lipemia reached 3 300 mg/dL. 【Conclusion】 The concordance rate, sensitivity, specificity and lower detection limit of the Cobas s201 fully-automatic NAT system and MPX V2.0 reagents by PCR-fluorescence method all met the requirements of reagent instructions. The verification of anti-interference ability demonstrated the requirements of ISO 15189 and the needs of blood station laboratories could be satisfied, and the detection methods and procedures can ensure the accuracy of NAT results.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the distribution of Colton and Diego rare blood group antigens of blood donors in Chinese Xinjiang minorities.

METHODSA multiplex PCR was applied to screen for alleles antigens Diand Coin 1020 randomly selected healthy donors of Chinese Xinjiang minorities by using each 5 samples mixed detection method. The samples in the positive pools were further tested individually. Furthermore, the positive samples, including Di/Diand Co/ Cogenotypes were tested via 2 PCR-SSP assays for high frequency allele Diand Coto get the rare genotypes Di, Co.

RESULTSAmong 1020 samples 12 cases with Coallele, 45 cases with Diand 1 case with Diwere identified.

CONCLUSIONThe frequencies of Diand Coalleles are 2.30% and 0.59%, respectively. The information of rare blood donors obtained from the screening can provide a reference for matched blood transfusion, and further enrich the National Rare Blood Bank of China.
