Objective To develop autosomal SNP fluorescent-multiplex PCR system,and investigate the allele frequencies of these 13 SNP loci in Southern Liaoning Han population.Methods After selected 13 autosomal SNP loci,SNP fluorescent-multiplex system was developed based on the principle of fragment length discrepant allele specific PCR,and the allele frequencies of these SNP loci in Southern Liaoning Han population were investigated using the established system.Results For the same SNP locus,the homozygote showed a single product peak,and the heterozygote showed two product peaks with different length.For the different SNP loci,the lengths of their PCR products were different.Therefore,we could genotype the 13 SNP loci simultaneously according to the length of products and the amount of product peaks,and the results were in accordance with that of direct sequencing.In the meanwhile,the allelic frequencies of these 13 SNP loci in Southern Liaoning Han population were obtained.Conclusion The SNP fluorescent-multiplex system based on the fragment length discrepant allele specific PCR strategy is simple and economical,and is of a high application value in forensic medicine.

BACKGROUND:Genetic studies have shown that there may be association between osteoprotegerin gene G1181C polymorphism and bone mineral density in postmenopausal women, but there are some differences in the conclusions.
OBJECTIVE:To study the association between osteoprotegerin gene G1181C polymorphism and bone mineral density in postmenopausal women through Meta-analysis.
METHODS:The PubMed database, Embase database, CNKI database and Wanfang database were searched for the observational studies about the association between osteoprotegerin gene G1181C polymorphism and bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. The standardized mean difference was considered as the effect indicator and calculated with random or fixed effect models according to the significance of heterogeneity.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 9 articles were included with a total of 8 799 and 9 365 participants for which vertebral and spine bone mineral density had been measured, respectively. The analysis results showed that the bone mineral density of the postmenopausal women with the G al ele of G1181C was significantly lower than that of the postmenopausal women with the C al ele. Similar results were obtained in Caucasian population subgroup analysis. The Caucasian population subgroup analysis showed that the bone mineral density of the postmenopausal women with GG genotype of G1181C was lower than that of the postmenopausal women with GC and CC genotype. The results indicate that there is association between osteoprotegerin gene G1181C polymorphism and bone mineral density in postmenopausal women, and G al ele is a risk factor for lower bone mineral density.

Objective:The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical value of CT-guided localization of pulmonary nodules with soft wire hook-wire by trailing technique.Methods:The clinical data of 211 pulmonary nodules of 185 patients from November 2020 to March 2022 in Beijing Aerospace General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The pulmonary nodules were localized with soft wire hook-wire by trailing technique before video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). The success rate, complications, pathological results and localization operations related data were statistically analyzed.Results:The success rate of localization was 97.63% (206/211), and the success rate of VATS removal was 99.53% (210/211). The average operation time was (7.19 ± 2.62) min, and the average time required for resection of lesions was 27 min (10 to 126 min). During the surgery, the soft wire hook-wire of two patient was found to be dislocated and retracted into the chest wall. The pulmonary nodules were successfully located and removed according traces left by puncture points on the lung surface. It was found that the hook-wire was located in the interlobar fissure in 3 patients. The pulmonary nodules were successfully removed by the hook-wire position and appropriately expanding the resection range. A minor pneumothorax occurred in 49 patients, but no closed drainage was needed; 12 patients developed intrapulmonary hematoma; 15 patients with chest pain were treated with analgesia.Conclusions:For small pulmonary nodules requiring thoracoscopic surgery, the computed tomography-guided pulmonary nodule localization with soft wire hook-wire by trailing technique is more convenient, safe and effective, and is worthy of promotion to use.

Objective:To establish an animal model of acute systemic cold injury in mice.Methods:There were 98 C57BL/6 mice, half male and half female, with body weight of 22-27 g and age of 10 weeks. The mice were randomly divided into 7 groups ( n=14) according to the changes of anal temperature in cold environment, namely, group A (38.5 ± 1) ℃, group B (35 ± 1) ℃, group C (30 ± 1) ℃, group D (25 ± 1) ℃, group E (20 ± 1) ℃, group F (15 ± 1) ℃, and group G (10 ± 1) ℃, among which, group A was the blank control group, and the rest groups were the experimental group. The mice in the blank control group were placed in the normal environment (20 ± 5) ℃, and the mice in the experimental group were placed in the low temperature artificial climate box at - 20℃. The anal temperature of the mice was measured intermittently (as the core temperature), and the time required for the core temperature of the mice to drop to groups B, C, D, E, F and G was recorded. The righting reflex was used to evaluate the consciousness state, the action ability and the general state of each organ of mice were observed, and the blood routine and HE staining of each organ were detected. Results:The lower the core temperature of the experimental group, the longer the time required. The consciousness state, action ability, general state of organs, blood routine, and HE staining of organs in groups B, C, and D were basically the same as those in group A, and there was no acute systemic cold injury. Therefore, the blood routine, general observation of organs, and HE staining of organs in groups B, C, and D were no longer displayed compared with those in group A. Compared with group A, mice in group E began to suffer from disturbance of consciousness and action ability. With the decrease of core body temperature, the damage was aggravated, and mice in group G died. Compared with group A, the indices of blood routine test (WBC, RBC, HGB, PLT) of mice in group E began to decrease, and the univariate variance calculation showed that only WBC changes had statistical significance ( P<0.05). Compared with groups A and E, the indices of blood routine test (WBC, RBC, HGB, PLT) of mice in group F were further reduced, and the changes of each index in univariate variance calculation were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The general observation results showed that compared with group A, the lung, liver and spleen surfaces of mice in group E began to darken, and compared with groups A and E, the lung, liver, spleen, kidney and heart of mice in group F were further deepened and darkened, with irregular edges. HE staining results of various organs showed that compared with group A, the mice in group E began to have partial alveolar structure destruction and a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration, the central vein of the liver was slightly congested, and the red and white pulp of the spleen were indistinct. Compared with groups A and E, the pathological structure damage of the lung, liver, spleen, kidney, heart and brain tissues of the mice in group F was further aggravated. Conclusions:Detection of consciousness state, action ability, general state of organs, blood routine and HE staining indices of organs in mice under low temperature can simulate the progress of clinical acute cold injury, and the animal model of acute systemic cold injury was successfully prepared.
