With the gradual development of reformation,the traditional notion of service that only cares about the state of illness but ignores the state of patients is challenged by different factors violently in the hospital.Nowadays,with more concerns on People First,the situation,neglect of patients,must be accordingly changed in hospitals and more em?phasis should be put on the humane care during treatment in order to cure patients’diseases successfully.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of short tandem repeat(STR) genotyping of cell free DNA in plasma for individual identification and paternity testing. Methods EDTA-Na2 DNA anti-coagulant blood samples were collected from 36 unrelated healthy volunteers,and both DNA in leukocytes and cell free DNA in plasma were extracted respectively using phenol-chloroform method. Target DNA in blood cells and plasma were amplified using regular STR typing and fluorescent multiplex STR assay separately,accordingly,the PCR products were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis. Results Using either normal PCR-STR or fluorescent multiplex STR assay,the consistent STR genotyping results were detected with similar efficiency for cell DNA and plasma DNA samples from the same individual. Conclusion Cell free DNA in plasma samples can be used as useful biological samples for STR genotyping,which can be applied to individual identification and paternity testing in forensic practice.

The reform for the laboratory operational mechanism includes laboratory management system reform and experimental teaching reform.The author made some explorations and research to the operational mechanism and management pattern of university laboratory of forensic biology,then presented some ideas.

To introduce tutorial system for undergraduate in the forensic biology teaching is an important measure of educational reform of forensic medicine.The article presented some schemes and experiences about the practice of tutorial system for undergraduate in the forensic biology department of Kunming Medical College.

Objective To find an ideal animal model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) through investigating the characteristics of three two-hit animal models of ARDS.Methods Forty-eight SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: Control group [2.5 mL/kg normal saline (NS) i.v.given at 0 min and 30 min];OA+OA group [0.5 mL/kg oleic acid (OA) i.v.given at 0 min and 30 min];LPS+LPS group [2.5 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS) i.v.given at 0 min and 30 min];and OA+LPS group [0.5 mL/kg OA i.v.given at 0 min and 2.5 mg/kg LPS,i.v.given at 30 min].The samples were collected at 5 h after the second drug injection.White blood cells count (WBC),polymorphonuclear leukocyte ratio (PMN%),total protein concentration,tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) level in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF),arterial blood gas analysis and lung wet-dry weight ratio (W/D) were measured,respectively.Pathological changes in the lung tissues were observed and histological scores were evaluated.Results Compared with those in the control group,PaCO2,WBC,PMN%,total protein concentration and TNF-α levels in BALF were significantly increased,while PaO2 was dramatically decreased (P<0.01) in the OA+OA,LPS+LPS and OA+LPS groups.The levels of protein concentration in BALF and lung W/D ratio in the OA+LPS group were significantly higher than these in the LPS+LPS group (P<0.05 for all),but had no statistically significant difference compared with these in the OA+OA group.The levels of WBC,PMN% and TNF-α in BALF in the OA+LPS group were significantly higher than those in the OA+OA group (P<0.05),but not significantly different from those in the LPS+LPS group.The most typical pathological changes and the highest pathological scores were found in the OA+LPS group.Conclusions All the three different methods including OA+OA,LPS+LPS,and OA+LPS can be used to establish “two-hit” animal models of acute respiratory distress syndrome.The “two-hit” animal model of acute respiratory distress syndrome induced by OA+LPS is more closer to clinical ARDS and is useful for studies on the pathophysiology of ARDS,and is an ideal “two-hit” animal model of ARDS.

Objective To study the correlation between the polymorphisms of NR3C1 gene and aggressive behavior in Yunnan Han population.Methods Five SNPs of the NR3C1 gene (rs6190,rs6191,rs6198,rs41423247 and rs56149945) were genotyped in 194 unrelated prisoners who committed violent-crimes and 301 healthy controls using improved Multiplex-ligase-detection reaction(iMLDR) method,and the data were statistically analyzed with the SPSS19.0soflware and PHASE2.1platform.Results Single locus analysis showed that the allelic distribution of rs6191and rs41423247did not show significant differencesbetween the control groupand the aggressive-behavior group as well as the robbery sub-group and intentional injury sub-group.However,significant difference was foundin the rs41423247 genotype distribution betweencontrol groupand robbery sub-group (p=0.048).In addition,there were no significant differences for the four haplotypes between the control group,the attack group,the robbery subgroup and the intentional injury subgroup.Conclusion These findings indicate that rs41423247 polymorphism of the NR3C1gene might play a role in susceptibility to aggressive behavior and rs6191 polymorphismmay not be correlated withaggressive behavior.

Forensic biology is a main subject of forensic medicine.With the rapid development of science and technology,the courses should be constantly improved.New teaching mode has come into being application of multimedia technology in theoretical lessons,case teaching,independent completion of experimental lessons,which is thanks to the constant reinforcement of teaching staff and the reform of course content and teaching methods.

The article elaborated the standard of quality control,open service management system and requirements for system construction of forensic biology laboratory,which is to share laboratory recourses and advance the healthy and sustainable development of the laboratory.

Based on the experience of experimental teaching reform of forensic biology,the article made a systematic exposition about the measures and experience of the research and practice of the reform from the following aspects: aim of the reform,priority of the reform and specific measures.By reforming experimental teaching methods,the students' interests and performance record have been significantly improved.

Objective To study the genetic polymorphism of 20 autosomal short tandem repeats(STR)loci in Yunnan Han population. Methods The 20 STR loci(D3S1358,D1S1656,D6S1043,D13S317,Penta E,D16S539,D18S51,D2S1338,CSF1PO,Penta D,TH01,vWA,D21S11,D7S820,D5S818,TPOX, D8S1179,D12S391,D19S433 and FGA)which were included in the PowerPlexR21 System kit were genotyped in 1085 unrelated Han individuals living in Yunnan province using multiplex amplication. PCR products were separated and analyzed by the AB 3130 automatic genetic analyzer and GeneMapper ID v3.2 software. Forensic parameters of each locus were calculated by Modified-Powerstates software. Results All the studied loci except for TH01 and TPOX were highly polymorphic. The observed heterozygosity(Ho)ranged from 0.6130 to 0.8743. Match probability(PM)ranged from 0.0179 to 0.2030. Power of discrimination(DP)ranged from 0.7970 to 0.9821. Probability of exclusion(PE)ranged from 0.3067 to 0.7432. Paternity index(PI)ranged from 1.2919 to 3.9766. Polymorphism information content(PIC)ranged from 0.5598 to 0.8958. No deviation of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was observed. Conclusion The studied 20 STR loci were highly polymorphic in Yunnan Han population and could be used in forensic individual identification and paternity testing practice.
