Objective To study the correlation between the mutation in platelet activating factor (PAF) acetylhydrolase gene mutation(Val279 Phe)and cerebral vascular disease (CVD)in Chinese.Methods Genomic DNA was analysed for the mutation allele in 153 patients with cerebral vascular disease and 100 healthy subjects matched for age and sex without CVD by a specific polymerase-chain reaction. Plasma PAF acetylhydrolase activity was determined by the method of Stafforini et al.Results The prevalence of the mutation and the frequency of the mutation allele are significantly higher in patient with CVD than those in control subjects( P

Our aim in this study was to determine differentially expressed genes of CD34 + cell from bone marrow and G CSF mobilized peripheral blood. CD34 + cells isolated from bone marrow and G CSF mobilized peripheral blood of the same donor were identified for differentially expressed genes in CD34 + cells using the technique of suppression subtractive hybridization. Eleven genes were expressed with higher levels in CD34 + cells from mobilized peripheral blood, as compared with data of GenBank. These genes included nuclear proteins, transcriptional regulatory molecules, zinc finger proteins and interferon induced molecules. These results demonstrate that there are some differences between the two groups of CD34 + cells. Further study would give us more extensive understanding about mobilization and homing of hematopoietic stem cells.

Objective: To investigate the expression of MDR1 and GFP in the human hematopoietic cells mediated by adeno-associated virus. Methods: The GFP gene was transferred into the human hematopoietic cells by AAV vectors and created strong visible fluorescence by purely molecular biological means. Using adeno-associated virus vectors, we have transferred human mdr-1 gene into human hematopoietic cells and investigated the drug resistence of human hematopoietic cells modified with mdr-1 gene. PCR analysis confirmed that mdrl cDNA had been successfully transferred into the human hematopoietic cells. An assay of MTT proved that the human hematopoietic cells modified by mdrl gene had resistance to colchicine. Results: It was about 30% of the hematopoietic cells that expressed the green fluorescent proteins. The resistance of hematopoietic cells was increased parently when the cells were infected by the crude virus stocks. Conclusion: It is conducted that the AAV vector could successfully transfer the foreign gene into the human hematopoietic cells. The cells modified with mdrl gene have increased the resistance to drugs.
