Over the last two decades,we have seen many advances in the biological underpinnings of many kinds of cancers that have had a significant impact either directly or indirectly on the management and ultimately on the prognostic outcome of this disease.Next-generation sequencing studies have provided further evidence to support the notion4 that cancer is a disease characterized by Darwinian evolution.However,Ones often fail to obtain the information in different stages of the tumor before making treatment decision.This may be the major reason for treatment failures.Currently,circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is considered as aliquid biopsy.By detecting CTCs at different stages of tumor and obtaining the biological characteristics of CTCs,ones can get information about tumor evolution at different stages.It might provide effective basis for individual therapy to tumors,and promote the accuracy of tumor treatment.

The species of bromine and iodine in aerosol samples were extracted using ultra-pure water-ultrasonic method with different time in-length and pressurizing decomposition with dilute ammonia, respectively. The efficiency of extraction and the stability of bromine and iodine species were compared under different extraction) conditions. Results showed that(1) the efficiency of extraction using pressurizing decomposition, which might destroy some unknown form of organic iodine, was relatively higher than the one by ultrasonic method;(2) I~- was unstable in added standard cellular blank filter during ultrasonic assisted extraction for long time;(3) The optimum condition was ultra-pure water-ultrasonic assisted extraction for 5 min. Moreover), the suitability of glass microfiber filter(GF) and cellular filter(CF) during extraction for bromine and iodine) species in aerosol was also compared, which indicated that GF is favorable for species analysis than CF under different kinds of extraction conditions. Based upon the extraction results, HPLC-ICP-MS approach was developed to analyze bromine and iodine) species in atmospheric aerosol. The total iodine, bromine and species in the aerosol samples collected in Hefei were then determined accordingly. The levels of total bromine and iodine) in Hefei aerosols were 883 and 231 pmol/m~3, respectively. Br~- was found to be dominant species with 68%, while BrO_3~- was undetectable. 70% of total iodine occurred as unidentified forms including soluble organic) iodine and insoluble iodine.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the molecular basis for a Chinese pedigree affected with hereditary coagulation factor VII (FVII) deficiency. METHODS: The coding regions of F7 gene were amplified by PCR and sequenced. Suspected variants were confirmed by reverse sequencing and validated in other members from the pedigree. Pathogenicity of the variants was analyzed with multiple bioinformatic tools. RESULTS: Genetic analysis revealed that the proband has carried compound heterozygous c.985T>C (p.Ser329Pro) and c.1091G>A (p.Arg364Gln) variants in exon 8 of the F7 gene. Her mother, brother and son were heterozygous for c.985T>C (p.Ser329Pro), while her father was heterozygous for c.1091G>A (p.Arg364Gln). Phylogenetic analysis suggested that both p.Ser329 and p.Arg364 are highly conserved among homologous species. Online bioinformatic software predicted both variants to be deleterious. Protein model analysis suggested that the Pro329 side chain may form a new hydrogen bond with Leu333. The Pro benzene ring may clash with Glu325 in the p.Ser329Pro variant model. The p.Arg364Gln variant have two additional hydrogen bonds compared with wild type Arg364. Both variants may lead to alteration of the protein structure. CONCLUSION The p.Ser329Pro and p.Arg364Gln variants in exon 8 of the F7 gene probably account for the reduced FVII in this pedigree.

Objective:To study the clinical characteristics and gene mutations in a family with combined inherited antithrombin (AT) and factor Ⅶ (FⅦ) deficiency, and explore the relationship between AT gene, F7 gene mutations and diseases. Methods:Pedigree investigation. Blood samplesand clinical dataswere collected fromthe proband and her family members (a total of 16 people in 3 generations) who admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in November 2018. The prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (FIB), antithrombin activity (AT: A), antithrombin antigen (AT: Ag), protein C activity (PC: A), protein S activity (PS: A), FⅦ activity (FⅦ: C), FⅦ antigen (FⅦ: Ag) and other indicators were detectedto confirm the diagnosis. DNA direct sequencing analysis of all exons, flanking sequences, 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions of AT genes and F7 genes, and the mutation sites were confirmed by clone sequencingor reverse sequencing. Results:The AT: A and AT: Ag of the proband were 46% and 135 mg/L, respectively (reference range: 250-360 mg/L), some of her family members′ s (father, aunt, two cousins, younger brother and nephew) AT: A and AT: Ag were reduced to 50% of normal range. Her father (Ⅰ 2), aunt (Ⅰ 4), elder brother (Ⅱ 7), younger brother (Ⅱ 8), and nephew (Ⅲ 3)′s FⅦ: C were 45%, 50%, 48%, 47% and 48%, respectively; and their FⅦ:Ag was within the normal range. Genetic analysis revealed that the proband(Ⅱ 6) and some of her family members (father, aunt, two cousins, younger brother and nephew) took rs3138521 polymorphism in the 5′ untranslated region of AT gene. Her father (Ⅰ 2), aunt (Ⅰ 4), elder brother (Ⅱ 7), younger brother (Ⅱ 8), nephew (Ⅲ 3) took c.1091G>A heterozygous missense mutationin exon 8 of F7 gene, resulting in p.Arg304Gln. Conclusion:The rs3138521 in AT gene and c.1091G>A in F7 gene, which may be the molecular mechanism leading to combined inherited AT and FⅦ deficiency in this family.

The rapid advancement of biomarker research in Alzheimer′s disease (AD) has improved the accuracy of AD diagnosis, facilitated its early diagnosis and intervention, and has significant implications for disease-modifying therapy research and evaluation. Since its introduction, the AT(N) system has grown in importance in both the clinical and research aspects of AD. However, the fluid biomarkers in the AT(N) system do not yet adequately reflect the complex pathophysiology of AD. Other fluid biomarkers associated with neuroinflammation, synaptic dysfunction, and vascular dysfunction should be a valuable addition to the AT(N). In recent years, the development and application of peripheral blood biomarkers have greatly enriched the fluid biomarker system for AD and are expected to greatly facilitate early screening and diagnosis of the disease. Here, a brief overview of current research on AT(N) and other pathogenesis-related fluid biomarkers is presented, and the article proposes that fluid biomarkers for AD should be studied from a variety of pathophysiological perspectives in order to improve their role in disease diagnosis. This article also discusses the role and limitations of fluid biomarkers in the diagnosis of AD, as well as the future development and application of fluid biomarkers in AD.

Bowel sounds is an important indicator to monitor and reflect intestinal motor function, and traditional manual auscultation requires high professional knowledge and rich clinical experience of doctors. In addition, long-time auscultation is time-consuming and laborious， which may lead to misjudgment caused by subjective error. To solve the problem, firstly, the wavelet transform is used to preprocess the bowel sounds signal for noise reduction and enhancement. Secondly, three typical features of intestinal sound were extracted. According to the combination of these features, a three-stage decision was designed to carry out multi-parameter and multi-feature joint threshold detection. This algorithm realized the detection of bowel sound signal and the location of its start and end points, making it possible that the complete bowel sound signal was extracted effectively. In this study, a large number of clinical data and label of bowel sounds were collected, and a new effective evaluation method was proposed to verify the proposed method. The accuracy rate is 83.51%. Results of this study will provide systematic support and theoretical guarantee for the diagnosis of intestinal diseases and the monitoring of postoperative intestinal function recovery of patients.
