Objective To investigate the clinical features of and gene mutations in a Chinese Han pedigree with piebaldism. Methods Clinical data were collected with informed consent from a pedigree with piebaldism, processed and documented. A clinical genetic analysis was conducted and pedigree chart was drawn. Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of 14 patients and 40 unaffected individuals in the family as well as 50 unrelated human controls, and subjected to the amplification of 21 exons and flanking sequences of the KIT gene by PCR. Sequence analysis was performed by Mutation SurveyorTM. Results There were 73 members in the family, and of them, 14 were diagnosed with piebaldism according to typical clinical features. Piebaldism was inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern in this family. A heterozygous 4-base insertion mutation 1900insATGA in exon 13 of KIT gene was identified in all the 14 affected family members, which resulted in a frame-shift mutation at codon 634 and produced a premature translation termination codon. This mutation was undetected in either the unaffected family members or unrelated controls. Up to the time of this writing, this mutation had not been previously reported. Conclusion The novel mutation 1900insATGA in the KIT gene may be the cause of clinical phenotype of piebaldism in the family.

The design of portable and low power consumption 12-lead ECG is based on the digital signal processor TMS320C5515 and the analog front end ADS1298. The ADS1298 collects the ECG signals and deliver them to TMS320C5515. The preprocessed ECG signals are displayed real-time on a LCD and can be stored without compression for a long time. The ECG signals can also be sent to an up computer by a USB connector so that ECG data can be analyzed offline. The system has small volume, high precision and low power consumption.

ObjectiveTo explore the methods to improve the social support of HIV/AIDS patients in order to improve their quality of life. Methods115 cases of HIV/AIDS patients beginning to receive the anti-viral therapy were given nursing intervention.Social support rating scale (SSRS),quality of lifeKarnofsky scale were adopted to evaluate the social support and quality of life before and 3 months after nursing intervention. ResultsThe social support and quality of life of patients improved after intervention compared with those before intervention,and with improvement of social support,the quality of life was accordingly increased. ConclusionsSocial support under nursing intervention help to improve quality of life of HIV/AIDS patients,and can support evidence for education and strategies implementation of treatment compliance for HIV/AIDS patients receiving antiretroviral therapy.

Aim To investigate the effects of YMⅢ,a derivative of naftopidil, on the vascular contractive activities in rabbit aorta and to explore its vasodilative mechanisms.Methods The isotonic contractions of the thoracic aorta strips from rabbits were recorded, and the effects of YMⅢ on the concentration-response curves of noradrenaline(NA),high potassium and 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)were observed.Intracellular free Ca2+([Ca2+]i)was investigated in the pressence of and the absence of YMⅢ in different conditions.Results YMⅢ(10-8,5?10-8,10-7 mol?L-1)shifted the concentration-response curve of NA with a parallel manner to right, the maximum response was unchanged and the pA2 value was 8.00; YMⅢ (10-5 mol?L-1)also shifted the concentration-response curve induced by high potassium to right but with non-parallel manner,the response was depressed and the pD′2 value was 4.26. However, YMⅢ(10-7,10-6,10-5 mol?L-1)had no statistical influence on the concentration-response curve induced by 5-HT, although it tended to depress the response of the curve at 10-5 mol?L-1.In Ca2+-free medium,YMⅢ (10-8,5?10-8 and 10-7mol?L-1) significantly inhibited the transient contraction induced by NA and the long-lasting one induced by addition of Ca2+ with a concentration-dependent manner.But even at 10-5 mol?L-1,it did not inhibit the contraction induced by caffeine.Conclusions YMⅢ may be ?-adrenergic receptor blocker.Its vasodilative mechanism may be related to:blocking ?-adrenergic receptor on cell membrane resulting in the inhibition on the influx of extracellular Ca2+ and the release of intracellular calcium.

Background and purpose:Selenium is one of the essential trace elements for human activities, and plays an incomparable role in maintaining human health. It was reported that selenium compound 1,4-bis[2-(benzylse-lanyl)ethoxy] (BSEA) anthracene has antiseptic and antiphlogistic effects. However, the mechanisms underlying anti-cancer effects of BSEA are rarely reported. BSEA-induced apoptosis in human laryngeal carcinoma Hep-2 cells and its mechanisms were studied.Methods:Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to determine inhibition ratio of Hep-2 cells 24 hours after Hep-2 cells were treated with different concentrations of BSEA. Fluorescence microscope was used to observe the morphology change of apoptosis in Hep-2 cells. The apoptosis was detected by Annexin Ⅴ-FITC. Mi-tochondrial membrane potential was assayed by JC-1. Microplate reader detected the activity of caspase-3 and caspase-8. The mRNA and protein levels of Bax and XIAP were measured by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) and Western blot.Results:The results showed that BSEA caused a dose-dependent inhibition of the growth of human laryngeal carcinoma cell line Hep-2in vitro, andIC50 was 35.74μmol/L. The apoptotic bodies were distinctly observed at a concentration of 80μmol/L of BSEA by AO fluorescence staining. This study found that the eversion of phosphatidyl serine intensified, and mitochondrial membrane potential also began to decline. The activity of caspase-3 appeared the tendency of dependence on dosage, while the activity of caspase-8 did not change significantly. The mRNA and protein expression level of Bax increased, whereas the mRNA and protein expression level of XIAP de-creased.Conclusion:Therefore, BSEA could obviously inhibit human laryngeal carcinoma Hep-2 cells proliferation and induce apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway.
