Melanin is a kind of biopolymer, composed of a complex quinine/indole-quinone derived mixture which is produced in melanocytes from tyrosine. More than 100 genes related to melanin deposition have been found in mouse. Slc24a5 (solute carrier family 24, member 5) is a novel gene first cloned in zebrafish. And it has been confirmed that the Slc24a5 is involved in controlling the melanin deposition in zebrafish. Here the full length of the chicken slc24a5 mRNA sequence, its expression profile and a discussion of its relationship to melanin deposition in chicken were reported. Chicken Slc254a5 has a CDS of 1 269bp, predicting a protein of 423 amino acids which is about 80 amino acids shorter than in human and mouse. It has 9 exons and 8 introns and spans more than 1lkb of genome sequence. The quantitative real-time PCR confirmed that the chicken Slc24a5 was highly expressed in the eye of White Leghorn and Beijing Fatty Chickens, and in the eye, skin and muscle of Silky. The relative expression in Silky eye is more than two times that of White Leghorn. The relative expression in Silky skin is about 70 times that of White Leghorn and about 15 times that of Beijing Fatty Chickens. The relative expression in Silky muscle is about 15 times that of White Leghorn and about 3 times that of Beijing Fatty Chickens. And the expression result is in accordance with the melanocyte and melanin deposition in these tissues.

To study the function of lipoprotein lipase (LPL)with Asn291 Ser and Lys312insC compound mutation in LPL gene knockout heterozygous (LPL~(+/-)) mice. The results showed that triglycerides, free fatty acids, blood glucose and weight of LPL~(+/-) mice were higher than those of c57 mice(P<0. 05). The expressions of LPL Mrna and LPL protein of LPL~(+/-) group were lower than those of c57 group(P<0.05). The injection of Asn291Ser +Lys312insC protein caused little change of the lipid mass and LPL activity,but the injection of normal LPL protein induced obvious decrease of lipid mass and increase of the LPL activity.

Objective To explore the value of DWI combined with dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging (DCE MRI) in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant parotid gland tumors.Methods DWI and DCE-MRI was performed in 90 patients with parotid gland tumors (94 lesions),included 75 benign tumors and 19 malignant tumors.The ADCs were measured,and the type of time-intensity curve (TIC) was assessed.ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of ADC values,TIC types and combination of the two methods in diagnosing benign and malignant tumors.Results The ADC values of malignant tumors ([1.02 ± 0.25] × 10a mm2/s) were significantly smaller than that of benign tumors ([1.38±0.44] × 10-3 mm2/s;t=5.170,P<0.001).The sensitivity was 0.62 and specificity was 0.92,when type A (persistent),B (washout),and D (flat) tumors regarded as benign and type C (plateau) tumors regarded as malignant.Sensitivity and specificity were significantly improved in diagnosis of malignant tumors when combined type C and ADC<1.36× 10-3mm2/s,which were 0.92 and 0.95,respectively.Conclusion Due to an overlap within benign and malignant parotid tumors,the diagnosis should not be addressed on the basis of ADC values alone.The TIC manifestations type A,B or D on DCE-MRI indicates benign parotid tumors,and type C indicates malignant diseases.When the TIC shows type C,combining ADC value can elevate the differential diagnostic efficacy of benign and malignant parotid tumors.

97 cases of jaw bone fractures were treated with rigid internal fixation.16 cases had malocclusion postoperation.The etiology was analyzed and the prevention methods were proposed.Intermaxillary elastic traction or fixation and craniomaxillofacial fixation or craniomentum elastic traction were performed to treat the malocclusion.By this way,14 cases were cured.1 case was operated again to resume the normal occlusion,1 case received occlusal adjustment.Incomplete reduction,incorrect operative performance,deficiency of postoperative intermaxillary fixation and incorrect intermaxillary fixation were the main causes to malocclusion.So anatomic in time reduction,correct operative performance,intermaxillary fixation,application of craniomaxillofacial fixation or craniomentum elastic traction instead of intermaxillary fixation for some special cases are effective methods to correct postoperative malocclusion.

Objective To analyze the influence of different factors and their relating correlation results on platelet transfusion during the bone marrow empty window period on the patients who have undergone allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with retrospective analysis of case-control data.Methods Clinical data of 153 cases were collected by the clinical blood management and evaluation information system with discharge diagnosis of allo-HSCT in the hematology department of The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University within a time frame from January 2014 to December 2016.A total of 90 cases were considered valid for retrospective analysis according to the case exclusion criteria.The average transfusion dose for patients with allo-HSCT during the bone marrow empty window period was defined as the threshold value which divided the 90 cases into the observation group of 38 cases receiving more than 6 Units of platelet transfusion and the control group of 52 cases with less than 6Units of platelet transfusion.The amount of platelets transfused during the bone marrow empty window period,clinical indexes include Hb,ANC,Plt,SF before pretreatment,platelet engraftment time and the number of mononuclear cells implanted were compared and analyzed by Logistic regression.Results (1) There was no significant difference between the two groups in gender,age,primary diagnosis,HLA matching,Hb before pretreatment and the number of mononuclear cells implanted (P>0.05).The ANC(×109/L) (1.24±0.57 vs 3.36±1.33) and Plt(×109/L) (43.55±68.29 vs 126.62±84.73) counts before pretreatment in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).SF(μg/L) (2351.05 ± 1 587.96 vs 1 000.96± 362.97)before pretreatment and P LT recovery time (d) (16.84± 2.47 vs 12.73 ± 1.65)was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Donor-recipient ABO blood group typing incompatibility (15 vs 10) was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05);(2) Single factor Logistic regression analysis showed that ABO blood group matching,clinical indexes include ANC,Plt,SF before pretreatment,PLT recovery time were statistically significant,Only ANC before pretreatment and PLT recovery time had significant effect on the platelet transfusion during bone marrow empty window period in patients with allo-HSCT in multivariate Logistic regression analysis(P<0.05).Condusion The ANC before pretreatment and PLT recovery time are independent factors for platelet transfusion of the bone marrow empty window period in patients with allo-HSCT.The PLT recovery time is an independent risk factor,which indicates that the longer the duration of PLT implantation,the greater the amount of platelet transfusion will be needed.Besides,the ANC before pretreatment is the independent protective factor,which indicates that the greater the ANC,the smaller the amount of platelet transfusion is required.
