Objective:To better understand the karyotype distribution ofthe patients with Down's syndrome(DS)who have been finally diagnosed in our hospital.To compare the strengths of G-banding karyotype analysis and FISH(Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization, FISH)in diagnosing the DS patients with the Chromosome mosaicism and Calculating the percentage of abnormal karyotypes.Methods:Blood of the patients who were likely to suffer from DS was selected for G-banding karyotype analysis to describe the karyotype distribution.5 of the finally diagnosed patients with the chromosome mosaicism were randomly selected for FISH to compare the percentage of abnormal karyotypes of the two methods.Results:287 DS patients were diagnosed,91.29%of whom had the simple karyotype.Among the patients with the translocation karyotype, 11 D/G translocation karyotype were detected,accounting for 73.33%,while 4 G/G translocation karyotype were diagnosed, constituting 26.67%.One patient with both of the translocation karyotype and the mosaicism karyotype was detected in our research,which was uncommon in recent report.The results of FISH and G-banding karyotype analysis were consistent.There was no significant difference of the abnormal karyotype rates for DS patients with the chromosome mosaicism by G-banding karyotype analysis and FISH.Conclusion:The simple karyotype is the main karyotype of the DS patients in our research.Among the translocation karyotype,the D/G kind is common.DS patients can be diagnosed efficiently by G-banding karyotype analysis,but we still suggest to use FISH to get the proportion of the abnormal cell for the patients who have less triploid cell and slighter clinical manifestation.

With the development of antibody manufacturing technology and improvement of new drug research in domestic industry, more innovative monoclonal antibody products submitted investigational new drug (IND) application. At the same time, monoclonal antibody products from abroad which have been approved marketing authorization and/or conducted clinical trials submitted IND applications in China. The National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) issued the "Guideline of Investigational New Drug Application" (No. 16, 2018) which emphasized the chemical, manufacturing, and control (CMC) regulatory, and dossier requirements in IND application, greatly promoted the application quality of innovative biological products. However, compared to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA), our particular guidelines are insufficient, such as guideline on virus safety evaluation of biotechnological investigational medicinal products. This review investigated the questions raised by sponsors from 2018 to 2020, including the end of production cell (EOPC) and/or unprocessed bulk (UPB) testing and virus removal or inactivation validation. Meanwhile, sponsors submitted different dossiers due to differences in understanding of stage requirements of guidelines from domestic and abroad. Based on the guidelines of virus safety from NMPA, FDA, and EMA, and the technical considerations, this review puts forward personal suggestions on the adventitious agents testing and virus removal or inactivation validation in manufacturing process, aim to ensure virus safety of innovative monoclonal antibody products in clinical trials.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the circadian distribution of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) in patients with viral myocarditis (VM) according to the theory of chronomedicine in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in order to find out the scientific evidence for a reasonable administration time. METHODS: Two hundred and forty patients with VM were enrolled and electrocardiograms were examined for all by Holter monitor. The circadian distribution of PVCs was evaluated according to the theory of chronomedicine of TCM about time periods corresponding to five zang viscera. RESULTS: PVCs mostly happened in periods of 3:00-5:00, 5:00-7:00, 7:00-9:00 and 9:00-11:00, in which 5:00-7:00 was the most serious time. Less PVCs happened in periods of 17:00-19:00, 19:00-21:00 and 21:00-23:00. The frequency of PVCs in midnight also increased with aging. The time periods of the frequency peak of PVCs in patients with different syndromes were also different. In patients with syndrome of pathogenic heat invading heart (PHIH), the PVCs mostly appeared in midday. In patients with syndrome of flaring of fire due to yin-deficiency (FFYD), the PVCs were most serious in daytime and aggravated at noon. And in patients with syndrome of insufficiency of heart-qi and yang (IHQY), the PVCs mostly happened in early morning or midnight. CONCLUSION: There was a manifest regulation of the pathological circadian rhythm of PVCs in patients with VM. The circadian distributions of PVCs were variable in patients with different syndromes. Therefore the theory of chronomedicine of TCM may be used to guide the treatment based on syndrome differentiation.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors with the highest cause of death and increasing incidence worldwide, and the annual incidence rate is rising. The early diagnosis of HCC is very essential to its prognosis. At present, AFP has been widely used in the survey of HCC diagnosis, therapeutic effect and predict recurrence. However, the sensitivity and specificity of AFP is not satisfactory. In recent years a variety of new serum tumor markers have emerged one after another. A new serum marker-Golgi glycoprotein-73(GP-73) in early diagnosis of HCC is expected to become the new target maker,its sensitivity and specificity are better than AFP.

Objecfive To study T cell subsets distribution in peripheral blood from patients with ankylosing spondylitis(AS)and the role of cell immunity in AS.Methods 30 patients with untreated active phase AS and 30 healthy volunteers were enrolled.The expression of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subsets were evaluated by flow eytome try.The correlation among T cell subsets and Bath AS function index(BASFI).Bath AS measurement index(BASMI),course of disease,age,ESR,hyper-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were analyzed.Results The level of CD4+ T cell and CD4/CD8+ratio were significantly lower than that of healthy volunteers[(29.24±9.22)% vs.(40.09±6.86) %,(0.96±0.49 ) vs.(1.70±0.67 ),P ＜ 0.01 ],and CD8+ T cell were significantly higher than that of healthy volunteers [(32.91±6.86) % vs.(25.60± 5.97 ) %,P ＜ 0.01 ].The level of CD4+ T cell subsets in peripheral blood of AS patients was negatively correlated with BASMI (r =-0.479,P ＜ 0.01 ),and CD8+ T cell subsets were positively correlated with ESR,hs-CRP,BASFI and BASMI ( r = 0.373,0.430,0.462,0.530,P ＜0.05 ).The ratio of CD4+/CD8+ was negatively correlated with hs-CRP,BASFI and BASMI (r = -0.465,- 0.473,- 0.426,P ＜ 0.05 ).CD4+,CD8+,ratio of CD4/CD8 were not significantly correlated with age and course of disease in patients with AS.Conclusion T cell subsets are significantly abnormal in peripheral blood of patients with AS,and the imbalance degree of T cell is correlated with severity and activity of AS,suggesting that T cell subsets imbalance plays an important role in the pathologensis of AS.

Conclusion This method provided basic data for establishing an evaluation method for purification effectiveness of photocatalytic nanocomposite coating for indoor air pollutants. Further approach was needed for exploring the effects of various environmental influential factors on the purification effectiveness of TiO2 nanocomposite coating.

Objective To investigate the effects of rutaecarpine on the cerebral injury and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) level during focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Methods Rats were intravenously given three doses of rutaecarpine (50, 100 and 300?g/kg) or vehicle 30 minutes before experiment. Then the rats subjected middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 2 hours, and neurological deficits scores were performed at 6, 12 and 24 hours after reperfusion. After the last test the animals were sacrificed, the infarct volumes were determined by TTC staining, and CGRP levels were measured by radioimmuoassay. Results Rutaecarpine significantly reduced infarct volume, and improved cerebral function in dose-dependent manner compared with vehicle. Rutaecarpine significantly inecreased brain CGRP levels after reperfusion as well. Conclusion Rutaecarpine has marked protective effects on ischemic brain damage in rats possibly by increasing CGRP release in the brain.
