Objective To resolve the problem of the accuracy and standardization of short tandem repeat-polymerase chain reaction(STR-PCR) typing in forensic practice,the molecular clone technology has been used in producing the standard allelic ladders of DXS6799 locus.And the standard allelic ladder was applied in studying the Lisu,Pumi and De-ang populations in Yunnan Province,China.Methods Polymorphism of DXS6799 was analyzed by PCR and PAGE.Molecular cloning technology was employed to construct standard DXS6799 allelic ladder used for DXS6799 genotyping.Results The large quantities of standard allelic ladder of the locus were harvested,and the genetic polymorphisms of DXS6799 locus in three populations were studied.Conclusion The method is of high value for forensic DNA typing to construct standard ladders.DXS6799 is robust for genetic research and forensic application.

The polymorphisms of VNTR loci D1S80 (pMCT 118), D17S30 (pYNZ-22 ) and ApoB3' in blood and tissues were detected by amplified fragment length polymorphism (Amp-FLP) technique,and was applied in the paternity testing cases. The discriminating power (DP) of D1S80,D17S30 and ApoB3'were 0. 962, 0. 956 and 0. 960 respectively. The cumulative probability of paternity exclusion (EPP) of the three VNTR loci was 94. 51 %,higher than that of conventional blood typings.

Objective To study the genetic relationship between Kirgiz individuals living in Sinkiang China and analyze the difference among Kirgiz and the other population with STR polymorphisms. Methods PCR amplification was performed using PE9700, the PCR products were typed by automated sequencer and genescan. Results A database of nine STR loci of Kirgiz was established. It shows there are at least 73 STR alleles and 191 genotypes in Kirgiz. Genotype frequencies distribution showed no deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium by χ2-test. Kirgiz was compared with the other Chinese ethnic groups, then the American Black and the White. Conclusion These results suggested that the nine STR loci and Amelogenin locus were very useful in human identification, biological archaeology and gene resource studies.

Objective To investigate HLA-A,-B and -DRB1 allele and HLA-A-B-DRB1 haplotype frequencies in Mongolia ethnic group. Methods HLA-A, -B, -DRB1 allele and haplotype in the Mongolia ethnic group were investigated based on 93 individuals by PCR- sequence-based typing (SBT) method. Results Twenty-one alleles were detected for HLA-A, 44 for HLA-B, and 26 for HLA-DRB1. The most frequent alleles were HLA-A*2402(0.2097), HLA-B*1302(0.0699), and HLA-DRB1*0701(0.1237). The most common HLA-A-B-DRB1 haplotype were A*3001-B*1302-DRB1*0701, A*0101-B*3701-DRB1*1001, followed by the A*0201-B*4601-DRB1*0901, A*2402-B*4801-DRB1*1101, A*2402-B*5201-DRB1*1501, A*3201-B*3503-DRB1*1301, and A*3303-B*5801-DRB1*0301, which were also presented in Chinese populations. Conclusion The data can be used in forensic and paternity tests to estimate the frequency of a DNA profile or anthropologic research. The characteristics of the distribution of HLA alleles revealed that Mongolia ethnic group is characterized by northern Mongolian Chinese.

Objective To investigate the mitochondrial DNA sequence polymorphisms in the Sala population from northwest China and to provide basic data for forensic purpose. Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from the whole blood of 100 unrelated individuals of the Sala population. The sequence polymorphic locus was determined by direct sequencing. Results 83 loci were observed in mtDNA np16 091-16 418 region, and 75 haplotypes were confirmed. The genetic diversity was estimated to be 0.991 2, and the random match probability was calculated to be 0.018 9. Conclusion There are some particular polymorphic loci in the Sala population. The results suggest that there are different genetic structures between Chinese and other Asian population in mitochondrial DNA D-loop region; mitochondrial DNA sequence polymorphism np16 091-16 418 can be used as a genetic marker for forensic individual identification.

Objective To study the influenc e of several experimental factors on morphine dependence in rats. Methods The 130 SD health rats were randomly assigned to control groups and dependence groups. The withdrawal syndromes between control groups and dependen ce groups in different dosage, different time, constant dose administration and increased dose administration were evaluated. Results The differences between control groups and dependen ce groups were significant (P

Paternity testing has to be cautiously practiced,since it involves issues coming from all aspects including ethics,legislation,family and society.If the educational backgrounds of the litigants prevent them from fully understanding the ethical and legal issues involved in paternal testing,it would thus be impossible to achieve a real "informed consent" for the litigants.It is our point of view that in these cases,and when no alternative solutions are available,it is the responsibility of those who perform paternity testing to advise the litigants give up the application for paternity test.Besides,it is time for judicial departments to place on the agenda the establishing of a technique standard for paternity testing and relevant judicial procedures,in order to protect the basic rights of informal consent and autonomy of litigants in paternity testing practices.It is in this article that some ethical and legal issues commonly involved in paternity testing are discussed.

There is an increasing interest in single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing in the forensic field.SNPs are very useful for deftning Y chromosome or mtDNA haplotypes and DNA phenotyping.We focus on comparative advantages of SNP typing over length variations and expected number of loci required to gain probabilities equal to sTR loci in use.This review also offers to the reader a state of the art of SNP genotyping technologies with the advantages and disadvantages of the different techniques and platforms for different forensic requirements.

In recent years,with the development of molecular biology,people gradually realize the tumor is composed of a series of development of the molecular mechanisms that trigger.The progress of targeted therapy for cancer patients brings new hope.Cetuximab through competitive combination with growth factor receptor blocking selective the growth of tumor cells,and achieved significant results.This is cetuximab in colo rectal cancer research progress of targeted therapy are reviewed in this paper.

Objective To observe the ventilation effect of I-gel laryngeal mask in endoscopic thyroid surgery under general anesthesia. Methods A total of 60 cases of endoscopic thyroid surgery under general anesthesia, were randomly di?vided into 3 groups (n=20):the group that patients used endotracheal intubation (Group Q);the group that patients employed Supreme laryngeal mask (Group S);the group that patients wore I-gel laryngeal mask (Group I). Success rate of insertion, du?ration of insertion, endotracheal pressure of Group S and Group I worerecored, and fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed in Group S and I to evaluate the position of laryngeal mask. Mean arterial pressure(MAP), heart rate(HR), pulse oxygen satura?tion (SpO2) at time points of before insertion (T0), 1 min after insertion (T1), 3 min after insertion (T2), before the establishment of CO2 operating space (T3), 30 min after the establishment of CO2 operating space (T4), 10 min after the resection of speci?mens (T5), 1 min before removal of laryngeal mask (T6) and 1 min after the removal of laryngeal mask (T7) were recorded and the end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure [ p(CO2) ]and peak airway pressure (Ppeak) form T1 to T5. were also recorded. Occur?rence of nausea and vomiting, sore throat and other adverse reactions after removal of laryngeal mask were also noted. Re?sults The successful rate of insertion was not significant different among all three groups. Compared with Group Q, inser?tion time was significantly shorter in Group I and S (P<0.05). Endotracheal pressure and fiberoptic bronchoscopy score are not statistically different between Group S and I. Compared with Group Q, MAP and HR in T1, T6 and T7 were significantly lower in Group S and I (P<0.05). SpO2,p(CO2) and Ppeak show no statistical difference between three groups. Compared with Group S and Q, the occurrence of sore throat, painful swallowing and bleeding which is indicated by the appearance of blood in laryngeal were all significantly lower in Group I (P<0.05). Conclusion Both I-gel laryngeal mask and Supreme laryngeal mask can be used safely and effectively in airway management of endoscopic thyroid surgery patients while I-gel laryngeal mask is less hurting and more comfortable than Supreme laryngeal mask.
