1.Congenital chloride diarrhea:one case report
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2015;(4):309-311
ObjectiveTo discuss the clinical diagnosis, treatment and genetic diagnosis of congenital chloride diarrhea (CCD), a rare autosomal recessive disease.Methods One month old boy with persistent diarrhea, hypochloremia, hyponatremia, hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis, his stool electrolyte testing, clinical treatment and follow-up, as well as his and his parents’ SLC26A3 gene mutation analysis were retrospectively analyzed.Results The fecal electrolyte testing showed that the levels of Cl- and K+ were increased and the level of Cl- was much higher than the sum of Na+ and K+. After replacement therapy with NaCl and KCl, the blood electrolyte recovered to normal. Follow-up 4 years, the boy had a normal growth and development. Mutation analysis onSLC26A3 gene showed there was a homozygous mutation of 239G>A and both his father and mother carried the same heterozygous mutation. This mutation was ifrst discovered in China.Conclusions The sequencing analysis ofSLC26A3 mutation may help to diagnosis CCD.

3.Advance in the study of ?1,3 fucosyltransferase Ⅶ and glycoprotein CD24 in tumor metastasis
China Oncology 2006;0(10):-
Tumor recurrence and metastasis are the major cause for cancer patient death. Aberrant glycosylation is one of the important mechanisms of malignant tumor metastasis. The glycoprotein CD24, which could be a ligand for P-selectin on the surface of activated endothelial cells and platelets, appears to be a new diagnostic marker of tumors and possibly participates in tumor metastasis with unknown pathway. ?1,3 Fucosyltransferase Ⅶ (FucT-Ⅶ) is one of the fucosyltransferases which catalyze the transfer of a fucosyl residue from GDP-?-L-fucose to a sugar acceptor, usually galactose in the sugar chains of glycoproteins or glycolipids. The elevated expression of sialyl Lewis (SLeX), the only carbohydrate product of ?1,3 FucT-Ⅶ , predicts an ominous prognosis and high risk of recurrence and regulates the function of CD24. It is possible that ?1,3 FucT-Ⅶ may enhance the glycosylation of CD24 and thus promote the tumor metastasis.
4.New developments in gastrointestinal stromal tumor
China Oncology 2000;0(06):-
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST) is the most common mesenchymal malignancy of the GI tract. The mainstay of treatment is surgery. For patients in whom complete resection is not possible, or in patients with metastatic or recurrent disease, they are unresponsive to standard chemotherapy and to radiotherapy. There has been no effective systemic treatment for unresectable GIST or metastatic disease. Gain-of-function mutations of the KIT proto-oncogene occur in up to 90% of GIST, allowing constitutive activation of tyrosine kinase (i.e. auto-phosphorylation of tyrosine residues independent of ligand-receptor binding), leading to aberrant cell division and tumour growth. Imatinib selectively inhibits the tyrosine kinase activity associated with KIT, which forms the rationale for evaluating its effects in GIST. Herein, we review recent developments in treatment for GIST and implication for optimal treatment in these patients.

6.Construction and identification of recombinant vaccine Bifidobacterium bifidum pGEX-Sj14-3-3 of Schistosoma japonicum
Chinese Journal of Endemiology 2011;30(4):357-360
Objective To construct and identify recombinant vaccine Bifwlobacterium bifidum(Bb)pGEX-Sj14-3-3 of Schistosoma japonicum(Sj). Methods Total RNA was extracted from adult Sj, antigen encoding gene Sj14-3-3 was amplified by RT-PCR and cloned into Escherichia coli (E. coli)-Bb shuttle expression vector pGEX-1λT to construct recombinant plasmid pGEX-Sj14-3-3. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3).The plasmid was extracted and identified by using BamH I and EcoR I. Then pGEX-Sjl4-3-3 was electroporated into Bb to construct recombinant Bb (pGEX-Sj14-3-3) vaccine. The extracted plasmid of the recombinant Bb (pGEX-Sj14-3-3) vaccine was identified by PCR, and the size of the products was compared with Sj14-3-3 gene of adult worms.Results Sj14-3-3 of 399 bp in length was amplified by RT-PCR. The products were digested by BamH I and EcoR I , and the fragments length of plasmid pGEX-Sj14-3-3 vector was 4947 bp, and of Sj 14-3-3 gene was 399 bp.The product of 399 bp Sj14-3-3 gene was also amplified by PCR from template of the extracted plasmid of the recombinant Bb(pGEX-Sj14-3-3 ) vaccine. The size of the product obtained was just the same as expected.Conclusion The recombinant Bb(pGEX-Sj14-3-3) vaccine of Sj is successfully constructed.
7.Dynamic observation of splenocyte apoptosis in mice immunized with recombinant vaccine Bifidobacterium bifidum pGEX-Sj14-3-3 of Schistosoma japonicum
Chinese Journal of Endemiology 2012;31(6):604-607
Objective To investigate the effects of recombinant vaccine Bifidobacterium bifidum (Bb) pGEX-Sj14-3-3 on splenocyte apoptosis in BALB/c mice.Methods Ninety-six BALB/c mice were randomly divided into two groups according to their body mass:per os group (PO) and intranasal immunization group (IN),with 48 mice in each group.All mice were orally and intranasally immunized with recombinant vaccine Bb(pGEX-Sj14-3-3).Four mice in each group were sacrificed on weeks 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20 and 22,respectively,after immunization,and splenocytes were separated and cultured with or without ConA stimulation.The apoptotic rates of splenocytes were detected by flow cytometry.Results It showed that apoptotic level of splenocytes in both groups remarkably increased after 2-4 weeks without ConA stimulation (PO:0.069 ± 0.005,0.076 ± 0.010; IN:0.037 ± 0.002,0.075 ± 0.002),and the value reached the peak on the 4th week,and the differences were statistically significant compared with that of week 0(all P < 0.05).Apoptotic level of splenocytes in both groups with ConA stimulation increased after 2-6 weeks(PO:0.089± 0.006,0.098 ± 0.010,0.060±0.007; IN:0.054 ± 0.001,0.093 ± 0.003,0.058 ± 0.012),and the value also reached the peak after 4 week,respectively.The differences were statistically significant compared with that of week 0 (all P < 0.05).Apoptotic level of splenocytes in each group with ConA stimulation was significantly higher than that without ConA stimulation.Conclusion It is suspected that the recombinant vaccine Bb(pGEX-Sj14-3-3) may inhibit apoptosis of splenocytes in mice immunized orally or intranasally.
