OBJECTIVE:
To establish a 29 Y-STR loci multiplex PCR system for investigating the genetic polymorphisms and to assess its application value in forensic science.
METHODS:
A multiplex PCR system was established using a five color fluorescence labeling 29 Y-STR loci (DYS456, DYS389 I , DYS437, DYS447, DYS389 11, DYS438, DYS522, DYS460, DYS458, DYS622, DYS390, DYS392, DYS448, DYS449, DYS391, Y-GA TA-H4, DYS388, DYS19, DYS385a/b, DYS527a/b, DYS393, DYS459a/b, DYS635, DYS439, DYS570 and DYS627) for multiple amplification and capillary electrophoresis. And its applicability was validated with genetic polymorphism data of 29 Y-STR of unrelated 2,000 male samples in Shandong Han population.
RESULTS:
A total of 1,981 different haplotypes of 2,000 individuals showed genotype diver- sity between 0.370 0 and 0.965 4. The system provided stable and accurate typing with high sensitivity of 0.05 ng. It satisfied the needs of variety of routine biological samples.
CONCLUSION
The 29 Y-STR loci multiplex PCR system could be applied for actual cases and establishment of Y-STR database. In addition, it has great significance in forensic science practices and related research.

4.Inhibitory effects on the myoelectric activities of genioglossus during stimulating ventral medial area of nucleus facialis in rabbits
Basic & Clinical Medicine 2001;21(1):81-84
The effects of electrical and chemical stimulation of the vertral medial area of nucleus facialis (vMNF) on the myoelectric activities of genioglossus were observed in 26 urethane-anaesthetized and vagotomized rabbits. The results are as follows: (1) Long train electrical stimulation at the vMNF inhibitited the myoelectric activities of genioglossus markedly. (2) Microinjection of glutamate into the vMNF caused inhibitory response of the myoelectric activities of genioglossus. (3) When single pulse electrical stimulation on vMNF, measurement latency of genioglossus myoelectric activities was (20.6±0.4)ms. These results suggested that the excitation of vMNF could decrease the myoelectric activities of genioglossus so that the resistance of upper airway might be enhanced.
5.Role of placental growth factor in neovascularage-related macular degeneration
International Eye Science 2015;(5):796-798
? Choroidal neovascularization is the primary pathogenesis of neovascularage - related macular degeneration ( nAMD ) , and the role of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ) in neovascularization has been widely recognized. Currently, drugs target different targets of VEGF have been widely used in the treatment of nAMD. As a subtype of VEGF, placental growth factor ( PlGF) has synergistic effects with VEGF-A on promoting angiogenesis, stimulating the migration of endothelial cell proliferation and mediating immune inflammatory response. There is no expression of PlGF in mature blood vessels so PlGF hashigh specificity. ln this paper, the role of PlGF in the pathogenesis and treatment of nAMD is reviewed.

Objective To investigate the expression of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2)in breast cancers, and understand its clinical significance.Methods The immunohistochemistry was used to determine the ex- pression of COX-2 in the 40 tissues of breast cancer and 18 adjacent noncancerous mammary tissues.Results The positive expression of COX-2 was detected in 52.5% of breast cancer tissues and in 11.1% of adjacent noncancerous mammary tissues.There was a significant difference in the expression of COX-2 between breast cancer tissues and adjacent noncancerous mammary tissues(P0.05).Conclusion COX-2 was over expressed in breast cancer and correlated with metastatic lymph nodes and HER-2/neu.The expression of COX-2 may play an important role in carcinogen- esis,progression and prognosis of breast cancer.
7.COX-2 induced angiogenesis and peritoneal adhesion
International Journal of Surgery 2008;35(8):524-528
Postoperative peritoneal adhesion represents a major complication of surgery. Recently, the angiogenesis which cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme induced was found to play an important role in the adhesion synthesis. This review summarized the relationship between COX-2 induced angiogenesis and peritoneal ad- hesion.

Objective:The pathogenesis of placental vascular disease(PVD) was further investigated. Methode:PVD group (study group) and normal pregnancy (control group) were recruited. Two-channel mi-croarray technique was applied to screen the most differently expressive genes of human genome, and veri-fied the different expressions in mRNA and protein levels by quantitative PCR and Westem-blot, also local-ized the expression of different genes in placental tissue by immunohistochemistry. Reeults:HspA6 and Hs-pA1A had extremely higher expression in placentas with PVD than normal pregnancy. These genes both en-coded Hsp70. Hsp70 was mostly expressed in endothelial and smooth muscle cells of placental microves-ssls. The expression of Hsp70 mRNA and protein were up-regulated in placental tissue and microvascular endothelial cells from PVD group compared with normal pregnancy ( P <0.05) ;The expression of Hsp70 mR-NA and protein had negative correlation with infant birth weight ( P < 0.05). Conclueione:Hsp70 was associ-ated with endothelial activation in the pathogenesis of PVD by initiating an innate immune response and in-flammatory reaction.

Objective To assess the value of fiberoptic ductoscopy (FDS) in the diagnosis of nipple discharge.Methods Clinical records of 800 patients with nipple discharge undergoing FDS from October 1998 to July 2003 were retrospectively reviewed. Results Diagnoses established by FDS were pathologically confirmed in 92 2% of patients with papilloma (202/219), in 86 7% of patients with papillomatosis (13/15), and in 95 2% of patients with breast cancer (40/42). The total diagnostic accordance rate was 92 0% (266/289). Conclusions FDS in the diagnosis of nipple discharge is sensitive and of great clinical significance.

The mechanism and interaction among Rb/p16, Rb/E2F1 and HDAC1 proteins in gallbladder carcinoma were investigated. By using the immunoprecipitation method, the interactions among Rb, p16, E2F1, HDAC1 proteins in gallbladder carcinoma cell line (Mz-ChA-1) were studied. It was found that there were Rb and E2F1 proteins in the precipitates with anti-HDAC1, and there were HDAC1 and E2F1 proteins in the precipitate with anti-Rb. It was concluded that there are specific interactions among Rb, HDAC1 and E2F1 proteins in gallbladder carcinoma, indicating the existence of the direct Rb/E2F1/HDAC1 signal transduction pathway. There is no direct relationship between p16 proteins with Rb, HDAC1, and E2F1 proteins.
