Objective To establish a single nucleotide polymorphisms genotyping (SNP) method for a convenient, accurate, and routine analysis of clinical samples. Methods Based on the design of oligonucleotide probe, the assay was performed through three steps:the conjunction of the detection probe, universal amplification, labeling and ELISA reaction. The genotype of each SNP was revealed by reading signals of each set of reaction tubes. This assay was applied to detect sixty-two plasma samples of lung cancer for circulating DNA for three SNPs of EGFR, c.2573T＞G(L858R), EGFR, c.2582T＞G＞T(G719C). Results were compared with those obtained by direct sequencing. Results The heterozygote mutation was identified for L858R by both methods, although no mutation was detected for L861Q and G719C. Six samples were identified as heterozygotes with the new method, and only two samples were unambiguously identified as heterozygotes by the direct sequencing. Two additional samples could not be identified as heterozygotes because the peak of mutant allele was very low compared with that of wild allele. Conclusion The developed method enabled accurate identification of SNP in a convenient manner, and which is adapted to routine analysis from heterogeneous samples unambiguously.

Successive pathogenic bacteria were examined from liver,spleen, kidney and contents of intestine of diseased stone flounder (Kareius bicoloratus L.) occurring bacterial septicaemia infection caused by Aeromonas salmonicida. Identification of extensive phenotypic information to 6 pure cultures and detection of the mol% G+C ratio of the DNA to representative strains,showed that the examined bacteria belonged to a new morphovar of Acinetobacter junii, and was designated as Acinetobacter junii morphovar I. In addition, serotype, antibiotic sensitivity and pathogenicity of isolates were studied, the results showed that the 6 strains have the same K-antigen and O-antigen, there are no obvious differences in sensitivity and resistance to used 37 antimicrobial agents between strains, and have strong pathogenicity to experimental stone flounder and Bastard halibut.

Objective To establish the optimal extracted method for content dete rmination of naringin in Citrus grandis. Methods RP-HPLC was used to determinat e the content of naringin extracted with the above two methods from different ye ar samples of Citrus grandis. Results The average content extracted with ultraso nic extraction was 13.53 %,and the average content extracted with soxhlet extr action was 11.98 %,there being insignificant difference between the two method s. Conclusion The content of naringin extracted with ultrasonic extraction is mo re than that with the soxhlet extraction,which be receipted in Chinese pharmeco pia. And ultrasonic extraction method is more convenient and can save time.

Objective To observe the effect of using Ambroxol hydrochloride(AM)to wash respiratory way to treat neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS) in ventilator,to explore dynamic changes of respiratory mechanics after using AM to wash respiratory way.Methods Thirty premature infants were chosen according with diagnosis criterion,which were randomly divided into 2 groups: NS group(n=15);AM group(n=15).Both NS and AM groups were treated with Babylog 8 000 ventilator,and routine treating and nursing,NS group was given for washing respiratory way in NS group,whereas AM was done in AM group.Pulmonary compliance(C),time constant(Tc),respiratory resis-tance(R),C20/C and minute volume(MV)were observed in both groups.Blood gas was routinely checked after 1 h ventilation treatment,and X ray was shot after 24 h.Results Pulmonary C significantly increased in weaning than that of beginning ventilation(P0.05),MV significantly increased in group AM than NS,respectively[(0.56?0.12) L/min and(0.35?0.11) L/min(P0.05).But ventilator-treating-time was markedly shorter in group AM than NS,respectively(60.52?6.23) h and(98.21?5.82) h(P

OBJECTIVETo observe the characteristics of sperm single-stranded DNA breaks (SSB) and double-stranded DNA breaks (DSB) in infertile men, explore the association of DSB with male infertility, and provide a new observation index and idea for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

METHODSThis study involved 60 infertile men (infertility group) and 30 normal healthy males with infertile wives (control group). We comparatively analyzed the seminal parameters of the two groups, determined sperm concentration and viability using the computer aided sperm analysis system, measured the sperm survival rate by hypoosmotic swelling (HOS) test, examined sperm morphology by Diff-Quick staining, and detected sperm DNA damage by two-tail comet assay.

RESULTSNine two-tail comet models were established for detecting sperm DNA integrity. Comparisons between the fertility and control groups showed that the sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) was (33.8 ± 13.1) vs (16.3 ± 7.9)% (P < 0.01), the SSB-DFI was (19.2 ± 11.4) vs (14.9 ± 7.6)% (P > 0.05), the SSB-DFI/DFI was (56.8 ± 32.4) vs (91.4 ± 27.8)% (P < 0.01), the DSB-DFI was (23.9 +13.4) vs (6.1 ± 2.7)% (P < 0.01), and the DSB-DFI/DFI was (70.8 ± 19.5) vs (37.4 ± 11.3)% (P < 0.01). The optimal cut-off value of DSB-DFI/DFI in the diagnosis of male infertility was 39.5%, with the AUG, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.969, 98.3%, and 90%; that of DSB-DFI was 15.85%, with the AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.912, 86.7%, and 80%; and that of DFI was 18.65%; with the AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.861, 90%, 70%, respectively. In the infertile men, neither SSB-DFI nor SSB-DFI/DFI exhibited any correlation with semen parameters (P > 0.05); DFI was correlated negatively with the percentage of progressively motile sperm, sperm survival rate, and the percentage of morphologically normal sperm (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), but not correlated with sperm concentration (P > 0.05); both DSB-DFI and DSB-DFI/DFI showed a negative correlation with sperm concentration, sperm survival rate, and the percentages of progressively motile sperm and morphologically normal sperm (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONDouble-stranded, rather than single-stranded DNA breaks, may be a factor inducing male infertility. The type of sperm DNA strand damage is of much reference value for the assessment of male fertility.

Objective To explore the therapeutic efficacy and operation experience of Prolene Hernia System (PHS) in the tension-free repair operation of inguinal saddle hernia. Methods All 41 cases using PHS were selected as the subjects of this study and the results were analyzed. Results All patients were performed operation under the local anesthesia, and lasted from 25 min to 60 min. They had been keeping in ward for observation from 24 h to 72 h. No serotal swelling, hematoma, and incisional wound infection hap-pened after the operation. The follow-up time had been lasting from 6 months to 42 months, and none of pa-tients catehed a relapse or had the sensation of the foreign bodies. Conclusions Using PHS is safe and ef-fective in the tension-free repair operation, and it is more suited to inguinal saddle hernia. The key of opera-tion success is attaching importance to operation skills.

Objective:To establish a synthetic cyclic citrullinated peptide induced arthritis model in mice, explore immunogenicity and arthritogenicity of this peptide. Methods: 36 DBA/1 mice were randomly divided into three groups, which were injected the type Ⅱ collagen ( CⅡ, CIA ) emulsion, cyclic citrullinated vimentin peptide ( CCit-Vim, CCV-IA ) emulsion, cyclic citrullinated vimentin peptide conjugated KLH ( CCit-Vim+KLH,CCV+K-IA) emulsion on day 0 and 21,respectively. Using arthritis index( AI) ,paw swelling to evaluate the incidence of arthritis;ELISA tested serum anti-CCit-Vim antibody,anti-CⅡantibody,anti-CCP antibody and TNF-α, IIF detected AKA;Histopathology of the ankle joint was obsearved. Results: There were three mice appeared arthritis in CCV+K-IA,the incidence rate of 25%,but arthritis occurs later time,short duration,and the incidence and extent of arthritis were lower than the CIA. CCV-IA no arthritis performance. CCV+K-IA produce anti-CCit-Vim antibody were significantly higher than those in CIA (1. 32±0. 59 vs 0. 78±0. 27,P=0. 031). While Anti-CCP antibody of CCV+K-IA were significantly lower than CIA (54. 73±7. 33 vs 64. 37±9. 91,P=0. 007). The anti-CⅡ antibody in CCV+K-IA and CCV-IA were lower than the CIA(15. 73±2. 10, 16. 71±3. 03 vs 19. 50±2. 36,P<0. 05). The TNF-α produced by CCV+K-IA and CIA were both significantly higher than the CCV-IA (645. 61±35. 26,618. 98±53. 32 vs 533. 63±79. 49,P<0. 05). The AKA positive rate of CCV+K-IA is 50% (6/12),significantly higher than CCV-IA 25% ( 3/12 ) and CIA 16. 67% ( 2/12 ) . Histopathology of the ankle showed that the CCV-IA and CCV+K-IA have a mild synovial hyperplasia,no obvious synovial pannus formation and inflammatory cell infiltration. Conclusion:The cyclic citrul-linated peptide conjugated KLH not only has stronger immunogenicity but also has arthritogenicity. It induced a higher positive rate of AKA than CⅡ.
