With dramatic decline of genome sequencing cost,high-throughput sequencing technologies have been applied in clinical laboratory field,and play an increasingly important role in clinical diagnosis and treatment in complex diseases.Based on omics techniques,clinical laboratory data recording patient's diagnosis information has become the important independent medical research resources of the major health industry.Because these data include the patient's identity information,there are a series of ethical issues to be solved,such as protection of patients' informed consent right,patient privacy protection,information security protection,when carrying out the medical health big data research.Based on these problems,it proposed clinical laboratory data should be standard extraction,establishment of clinical laboratory data base for teaching,training,in order to improve the utilization of medical resources.Moreover,it is best to implement the written informed consent during the process of sample collection,informing the patient the data collected in diagnosis and treatment process may be used in related research in future.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the changes in lung injury and oxidative stress of sprague-Dawleyy (SD) rats at different times after single intratracheal instillation of potassium dichromate.

METHODSA total of 50 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into control group and potassium dichromate group. The potassium dichromate group and the control group received 3 ml/kg intratracheal instillation of K2Cr2O7 (1.5 mg/kg) and normal saline, respectively. Rats in these two groups were sacrificed in batches at 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days after exposure. The changes in the following indices were observed and analyzed: body weight, lung coefficient, alkaline phosphatase (AKP) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in lung homogenate, and reduced glutathione (GSH) in serum.

RESULTSThe rats in the potassium dichromate group had significantly decreased body weight on day 1 and day 3 after exposure than the control group (P<0.05). Lung coefficient increased significantly on day 7 (P<0.05) and kept increasing until the end of the experiment. The potassium dichromate group had a significantly higher activity of AKP than the control group on day 1 and day 7 after exposure (P<0.05). However, the potassium dichromate group had a significantly lower activity of GSH-Px than the control group on day 1 and day 3 after exposure (P<0.05). And the potassium dichromate group had a lower activity of reduced GSH than the control group on day 3 and day 7 after exposure.

CONCLUSIONSingle intratracheal instillation of 1.5 mg/kg potassium dichromate could result in lung inflammatory injury. of SD rats, and the injury is more severe on day 7 after exposure. Body injury is related to antioxidant activity, and the antioxidant.activity cannot recover completely on day 28 after exposure.

Objective:To investigate the effects of interleukin-17 on tumor,we transfected interleukin-17 gene into mouse colon cancer cells(C26)and set up an animal model in tumor.Methods:By plasmid vector,IL-17 gene was transfected into C26.Meanwhile, empty plasmid vector(pcDNA3.1)and C26 cells were transfected as control groups.C26/pcDNA3.1-IL-17,C26/pcDNA3.1,and C26 cells were subcutaneously inoculated into mice respectively and the tumor volume and the survival time were observed.Proliferation of splenocyte and NK activity were detected.Detect the characteristic cytokines and transcriptional factors of Th1,Th2,Th17 and Treg cells in splenic lymphocyte.Proliferation of TIL was detected.The characteristic cytokines IL-10 of M1 and the characteristic cytokines IL-12 of M2 in tumor infiltrating macrophages were detected.Results: The growth of tumor in mice inoculated with C26/pcDNA3.1-IL-17 cells was significantly retarded ( P<0.05 ) , and the growth of tumor in male mice inoculated with C26/pcDNA3.1-IL-17 cells was significantly retarded than female mice ( P<0.05 ).The mice survival time of C26/pcDNA3.1-IL-17 group was similar with C26/pcDNA3.1 and C26 groups(P>0.05).The proliferation of the splenocytes from C26/pcDNA3.1-IL-17 inoculated mice was higher than those of C26/pcDNA3.1,C26 groups(P<0.05),but was similar with the normal group(P>0.05),the proliferation of the splenocytes from C26/pcDNA3.1 and C26 inoculated mice was slow than those of normal groups(P<0.05).The NK(separate from spleen) activity of C26/pcDNA3.1-IL-17,C26/pcDNA3.1 and C26 inoculated mice was lower than those of normal groups when the ratios of effector cells and target cells were 40∶1,20∶1(P<0.05),the NK(separate from spleen) activity of C26/pcDNA3.1-IL-17 inoculated mice was higher than those of C26/pcDNA3.1 and C26 groups when the ratios of effector cells and target cells were 40∶1(P<0.05),there′s no difference among every groups when the ratio of effector cells and target cells were 10∶1 ( P>0.05 ).The splenocytes from the mice inoculated with C26/pcDNA3.1-IL-17 cells secreted more IFN-γ( the characteristic cytokines of Th1 ) , IL-4 ( the characteristic cytokines of Th2),GATA-3,ROR-γt,IL-10(the characteristic cytokines of Treg)mRNA(P<0.05).The proliferation of TIL from C26/pcDNA3.1-IL-17 inoculated mice was higher than those of C26/pcDNA3.1,C26 groups(P<0.05),the proliferation of TIL from C26/pcDNA3.1-IL-17,C26/pcDNA3.1 and C26 inoculated mice was lower than those of normal groups( P<0.05).And there′s no differences among every groups of the express of cytokines IL-10 and IL-12 mRNA in tumor infiltrating macrophages(P<0.05).Conclusion: The transfection of IL-17 gene inhibited tumor growth in the mice,inoculated with enhancing the immune function.

Lycophytes and seed plants constitute the typical vascular plants. Lycophytes have been thought to have no paleo-polyploidization although the event is known to be critical for the fast expansion of seed plants. Here, genomic analyses including the homologous gene dot plot analysis detected multiple paleo-polyploidization events, with one occurring approximately 13-15 million years ago (MYA) and another about 125-142 MYA, during the evolution of the genome of Selaginella moellendorffii, a model lycophyte. In addition, comparative analysis of reconstructed ancestral genomes of lycophytes and angiosperms suggested that lycophytes were affected by more paleo-polyploidization events than seed plants. Results from the present genomic analyses indicate that paleo-polyploidization has contributed to the successful establishment of both lineages-lycophytes and seed plants-of vascular plants.
