OBJECTIVE:
To study the genetic polymorphisms of 7 Y chromosome single nucleotide polymorphisms (Y-SNPs) among unrelated Mongolian males from Inner Mongolia Region.
METHODS:
Seven Y-SNPs with expected allelic frequencies close to 0.50:0.50 in Mongolian population were selected from databases including HapMap and relevant literature. The Y-SNPs were then analyzed among 95 unrelated male Mongolian DNA samples with ligase detection reaction (LDR) technique. Statistical analysis was carried out with Arlequin 3.5.
RESULTS:
All of the 7 Y-SNPs had 2 alleles. Seven haplotypes were identified among the 95 samples, with the haplotype diversity (HD) being 0.7990. Except for rs17316007, whose allelic frequencies was 0.832:0.168, each of the remaining Y-SNPs had a allelic frequency close to 0.50:0.50. The gene diversity (GD) for rs17316007 was 0.2825, while those of the remaining Y-SNPs were all greater than 0.4375.
CONCLUSION
Except for rs17316007, the other 6 Y-SNPs showed good diversity and genetic polymorphism, and may be used for individual identification and paternity testing for the Inner Mongolia region.

【Objective】 To evaluate the efficacy and safety of human coagulation factor Ⅷ developed by Shenzhen Weiguang Biological products Co, Ltd in the treatment of patients with hemophilia A. 【Methods】 A prospective, multi-center, open, single-group clinical study was conducted. A total of 65 subjects with hemophilia A were enrolled, and human coagulation factor Ⅷ(FⅧ) was injected according to the patients’ bleeding severity. The improvement score of bleeding symptoms and signs after the first infusion of the first bleeding event and the transfusion efficiency of FⅧ activity at 10 min and 1 hour after infusion were taken as the main efficacy indexes. The improvement scores of bleeding symptoms and signs after the first infusion and the increase of FⅧ activity at 10 min and 1 hour after infusion were the secondary efficacy indexes. 【Results】 The 65 subjects were enrolled in safety analysis set (SS) and full analysis set (FAS), and 58 of them were enrolled in protocol analysis set (PPS). Ten minutes and one hour after the first infusion, the level of factor Ⅷ activity in the subjects increased significantly, and the FⅧ activity increased by 100% or more in more than 79% of the subjects. The average infusion efficiency of FⅧ activity in all subjects was more than 100%. In 70% of the subjects, the pain was relieved rapidly and /or the bleeding symptoms were significantly improved 8 hours after each bleeding infusion, and the improvement rate of bleeding symptoms and signs reached 100% 72 hours after infusion. 【Conclusion】 After infusion of human coagulation factor Ⅷ, the activity level of factor Ⅷ in patients with hemophilia A significantly increased. The infusion efficiency can reach a optimal level, and the bleeding symptoms can be significantly improved.

Tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 is a promising drug target in cancer immunotherapy due to its bidirectional role in both tumor growth promotion and T-cell inactivation. Its allosteric inhibitor SHP099 is known to inhibit cancer cell growth both and . However, whether SHP099-mediated SHP2 inhibition retards tumor growth anti-tumor immunity remains elusive. To address this, a CT-26 colon cancer xenograft model was established in mice since this cell line is insensitive to SHP099. Consequently, SHP099 minimally affected CT-26 tumor growth in immuno-deficient nude mice, but significantly decreased the tumor burden in CT-26 tumor-bearing mice with intact immune system. SHP099 augmented anti-tumor immunity, as shown by the elevated proportion of CD8IFN- T cells and the upregulation of cytotoxic T-cell related genes including , which decreased the tumor load. In addition, tumor growth in mice with SHP2-deficient T-cells was markedly slowed down because of enhanced anti-tumor responses. Finally, the combination of SHP099 and anti-PD-1 antibody showed a higher therapeutic efficacy than either monotherapy in controlling tumor growth in two colon cancer xenograft models, indicating that these agents complement each other. Our study suggests that SHP2 inhibitor SHP099 is a promising candidate drug for cancer immunotherapy.
