Objective To study the effects of several factors on bud proliferation and rooting of Dioscorea bulbifera stem with a bud.Methods Single factor test and plant tissue culture methods were applied.Results The combination of 6-BA or KT and NAA helped the proliferation of stem with a bud in D.bulbifera;high concentration sucrose led to callus growth of stem with a bud in D.bulbifera which didn′t help the proliferation of stem with a bud in D.bulbifera;Liquid culture also helped the proliferation of stem with a bud in D.bulbifera;In a certain range,the increase of NAA concentration helped the rooting of stem with a bud in D.bulbifera.But it will inhibit the rooting with concentration in a higher level.Conclusion The best proliferation culture medium of D.bulbifera,stem with a bud is MS + KT 2 mg/L +NAA 0.5 mg/L or MS + 6-BA 2 mg/L + NAA 0.5 mg/L;For proliferation of D.bulbifera stem with a bud,the best sucrose concentration is 30 g/L sucrose,the best culture mode is liquid culture;The best rooting culture medium of D.bulbifera stem with a bud is MS + NAA 2 mg/L.

Objective The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between postoperative aromatase inhibitor(AIs) -based bone metabolism and ERα gene rs9340799,rs2234693 single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)in breast cancer.Methods One hundred and sixty-six breast cancer patients who underwent AIs treatment(≤2 years)were enrolled and hospitalized in our hospital from October 2015 to April 2017.The ERα gene rs9340799 and rs2234693 sites were sequenced and compared subtype of lumbar spine and femur,bone mineral density BMD value and the relationship between BMD value and T value.Results The BMD of lumbar spine in patients with ERα gene rs9340799 was significantly different when compared to those of A/A,A/G and G/G(P<0.01).The BMD of lumbar spine in patients with A/A and A/G genotypes were significantly higher than those in G/G genotypes(P<0.05).The BMD of lumbar spine in patients with ERα gene rs2234693 was significantly different when compared to those of T/T,T/C and C/C(P<0.01). The BMD of lumbar spine in patients with T/T and C/T genotypes were significantly higher than those in C/C genotypes(P<0.05). However,there was no difference in femoral BMD,lumbar spine,and femur T between the 2 subtypes of patients with genotypes(P>0.05).Conclusion Aromatase inhibitor-related bone loss(AIBL)may be related to ERα gene phenotype.In ERα gene rs9340799 and rs2234693 loci,C and G alleles may be susceptible genes for aromatase inhibitor-related bone loss(AIBL).

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic etiology and clinical outcome of a child with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome and diffuse mesangial sclerosis.
METHODS:
Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes of the proband and his parents. Targeted capture - next generation sequencing and Sanger sequencing were carried out. Candidate variant was verified by segregation analysis in his family.
RESULTS:
A heterozygous missense variant of the TRPC6 gene, namely c.325G>A (p.Gly109Ser), was detected in the proband. The same variant was not detected in either parent. According to the guidelines for the interpretation of sequence variants developed by American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, the variant was predicted as pathogenic.
CONCLUSION
The missense variant of the TRPC6 gene probably underlay the diffuse mesangial sclerosis in this patient. Above finding has expanded the phenotypic spectrum of the TRPC6 gene.
