Objective To develop real-time quantitative PCR method for measuring the amount of fetal DNA in maternal plasma and the changing patterns of fetal and maternal DNA with the pregnant progress. Methods Fifty-eight women were recruited at 7~42 weeks of gestation with singleton pregnancy determined by ultrasound scan. QIAGEN DNA kits was used to extract fetal DNA from maternal plasma. Fluorescent quantitative PCR(FQ-PCR) were applied to determine the concentration of ?-actin and SRY gene in extracted DNA. Results Thirty-seven male fetus were all identified among the 58 pregnant women (100%) and no Y signal was detected in the other 21 pregnancies with female foetus. The median level of fetal DNA in those pregnancies with male foetus was 9.08 copies/ml (3.5~12.8) in early pregnancy,45.41 copies/ml (14.38~76.5) in mid-pregnancy and 300.95 copies/ml (84~840) in late pregnancy. Conclusions The concentration of fetal DNA increases with the progress of pregnancy. Maternal plasma may be valuable in noninvasive prenatal diagnosis.

Objective To explore the role of ppk1 gene in E.coli CFT073 strain during urinary tract infection (UTI). Methods C57BL/6 mouse models of acute UTI with the wild-type(CFT073) and ppk1 mutant (△pk1) infected, were used to compare the bacteria colonization and inflammation induction abilities of bladder tissues. Results In the mouse models, the △pk1 strain showed a significantly lower infection rate (73.3% vs 93.3%) and lower adhesion frequency of bladder (0.01%vs 0.5%) than those of the CFT073 strain. The expression of IL-6 and TNF-αwere reduced in the bladder of △pk1 infected group (P<0.05). Hematoxylin-Eosin tissue staining showed that the damage degree of bladders in △pk1 infected mice were less serious than the CFT073 infected mice. Conclusion ppk1 gene plays an important role in E.coli colonization to bladder and the inflammation induction ability.

Objective Using chemically synthesized small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfected HepG2.2.15 cells to construct a cell model in interfering hepatitis B virus (HBV) X gene, studying the inhibi-tion of HBV replication and antigen expression in vitro. Methods After transfection of HepG2.2.15 cell for 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, detecting the cell supernatant of HBsAg and HBeAg by chemiluminescence immunoassay, the cell supernatant HBxAg protein by ELISA , the HBx mRNA relative expression of transfected cell was detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the ability of cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay. Results After HBx-siRNA transfected HepG2.2.15 cells, cell proliferation ability was inhibited. The cell of HBx mRNA and the cell supernatant of HBxAg expression decreased (P < 0.05); at the same time it in-hibited the expression of HBsAg and HBeAg. The suppressed peak and the inhibition rate were 66% and 58%respectively at 72 h. The fluorescence quantitative PCR confirmed that expression of HBV DNA in the super-natant was decreased. Conclusion The HepG2.2.15 cell interference model of HBV X gene has been success-fully constructed, which has an effect of inhibiting proliferation of HepG2.2.15 cells and replication and expres-sion of HBV gene in vitro.

Objective To detect the distribution of H.pylori ureA, vacA s1 gene and cagA subtype(ABC, ABD, ABAB, AAD, et al) in patients with digestive diseases in Guangzhou and investigate the relationship with the pathological findings of gastric mucosa.Methods A total of 227 randomly selected gastric mucosa from patients with digestive diseases were enrolled in the research, including 46 without pathological changes, 130 with chronic gastritis, 29 with peptic ulcer, 15 with atrophic gastritis and 7 with gastric cancer.Real-time PCR assay were used to detect Helicobacter pylori ureA gene and vacA s1 gene.EPIYA motifs in the 3′ region of cagA were amplified by conventional PCR followed by subtype sequencing. The conserved gene ureA was used to detect H.pylori infection.Results Among the 227 patients with digestive diseases, 50.7% (115/227) patients were H.pylori positive, in which 91.3%(105/115) carried vacA s1 and 78.3% (90/115) carried cagA. Four types of cagA-EPIYA subtype were detected, including ABC 17.8%(16/90), ABD 78.9%(71/90), AAD 2.2%(2/90) and ABAB 1.1%(1/90).In the non-pathological change group, 32.6% (15/46) were H.pylori positive, in which 28.3% (13/46) carried vacA s1 and 26.1% (12/46) carried cagA;in chronic gastritis group, it was 48.5% (63/130), 43.8% (57/130) and 36.2% (47/130), respectively;in ulcer group, it was 72.4% (21/29), 65.5% (19/29) and 55.2% (16/29), respectively;in atrophic gastritis group, it was 66.7% (10/15), 66.7% (10/15) and 66.7% (10/15), respectively;in gastric cancer group, it was 85.7% (6/7), 85.7% (6/7) and 71.4% (5/7), respectively.The distribution of H.pylori among the 4 groups had statistical significance (χ2=16.72;P<0.01). H.pylori was more prevalent in ulcer, atrophic gastritis and cancer group than in inflammation group and non-pathological change group (χ2=16.02;P<0.01).In patients infected by H.pylori, there was no significant difference in the distribution of vacA s1 gene as high virulence factors among non-pathological change, inflammation, ulcer, atrophic gastritis and cancer group (χ2=2.00;P=0.74), as well as cagA (χ2=3.44;P=0.49) and EPIYA subtypes (χ2=3.66;P=0.45).Conclusions H.pylori infection is significantly associated with the pathological change of gastric mucosa for patients with digestive diseases in Guangzhou, while the relationship with the pathogenicity of H.pylori with high virulence genotype is not significant.More samples and diseases reclassification are needed to make an advanced analysis of the effect of H.pylori with high virulence in gastrointestinal diseases development.
