To identify adulterants from medicinal plants of Bletilla H. G. Reichenbach, the suitable candidate DNA barcoding of Bletilla was evaluated. In this study, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA, the LFY homologous gene intron 2 and chloroplast ycfl gene were amplified and sequenced from forty-one samples. The intra-specific and inter-specific divergences of Bletilla were calculated, and the identification efficiency was assessed using Barcoding Gap, NJ tree by K2P distance and BLAST1 method. The result showed the intra-specific divergence of nrDNA ITS and ycJfl (0.022-0.106 and 0.017-0.106) were obviously higher than the inter-specific divergence (0-0.012 and 0-0.015), and four species of Bletilla were also accurately distinguished in NJ trees. Whereas, there was no Barcoding Gap on LFY homologous gene intron 2, thus it cannot effectively identify species of Bletilla. Using NJ tree of nrDNA ITS and ycfl gene, powdery medicine and the adulterants of Bletilla were successfully unidentified. In conclusion, nrDNA ITS and ycfl can be used as a potential DNA barcoding to identify the medicinal plants in Bletilla and its adulterants. There were only three basic differences on nrDNA ITS between "Jujing baiji" and Bletilla striata of Lu'an in Anhui province, and two basic differences in ycfl. Based on morphological and molecular data, "Jujing baiji" could be recognized as the species of Bletilla striata.

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease(PTLD) results from the uncontrolled proliferation of lymphocytes after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and solid organ transplantation.PTLD greatly reduces the survival of both patients and grafts.The treatments for PTLD include reducing the use of immunosuppressive agents, chemotherapy, EB virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), B lymphocyte depletion therapy, targeted inhibitors, etc.However, all of them have shortages.Specific biological target drugs aiming at a certain link in the pathogenesis of PTLD show a good curative effect and small adverse reactions, and thus serve as new options for its prevention and treatment.Because of the limited data, clinical studies are still needed to confirm these drugs.In this article, the application of targeted therapy in the treatment of PTLD was summarized.

Objective: To analyze the clinical , immunological and genetic features of a child with BCL11B mutation induced neurodevelopmental disorder. Methods: The clinical data and genetic test of a child with BCL11B mutation hospitalized in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology in Children′s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University in December 2018 were extracted and analyzed. The literature was searched with "BCL11B mutation" and "immunodeficiency 49" as key words in Chinese databases and Pubmed until January 2019 was reviewed. Results: A male patient aged 3 years and 11 months with facial dysmorphisms and delayed language and motor development was admitted due to neurodevelopmental retardation over two years. Laboratory tests showed normal human immunoglobulin (IgG 12.90 g/L, IgA 1.02 g/L, IgM 1.15 g/L, IgE 532 000 U/L), Trec (228) and proliferation of T and B cells. The lymphocyte subsets revealeda reduced percentage of B cells (0.108) but normal absolute numbers (0.574×10^-3/L), and an increased percentage (0.828) as well as absolute numbers (4.415×10^-3/L) of T cells. A heterozygous BCL11B mutation was detected by sanger sequencing, showing a de novo frameshift mutation c.1887_c.1893delCGGCGGG in exon 4. Two papers were found which were all in English, with total of 14 patients(13 patients with complete information). Thirteen mutations were reposed, including 7 frameshift, 2 nonsense, 2 missense, and 2 chromosomal rearrangements; Thirteen patients had heterozygous mutations. All patients had delayed language and motor development and facial dysplasia which were mainly hypertelorism, thin eyebrows and small palpebral fissures. Some patients had dental anomalies, ametropia and allergy, and a few were combined with immune impairment, but without overt signs of immunodeficiency. Only one patient had multisystem anomalies and profound immune deficiency. Conclusions BCL11B is essential for development of the nervous and the immune system. In this study, the de novo mutation of BCL11B gene resulted in neurodevelopmental and immunological disorders.

Oral diseases concern almost every individual and are a serious health risk to the popula-tion.The restorative treatment of tooth and jaw defects is an important means to achieve oral function and support the appearance of the contour.Based on the principle of"learning from the nature",Deng Xu-liang's group of Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology has proposed a new concept of"microstructural biomimetic design and tissue adaptation of tooth/jaw materials"to address the worldwide problems of difficulty in treating dentine hypersensitivity,poor prognosis of restoration of tooth defects,and vertical bone augmentation of alveolar bone after tooth loss.The group has broken through the bottle-neck of multi-stage biomimetic technology from the design of microscopic features to the enhancement of macroscopic effects,and invented key technologies such as crystalline/amorphous multi-level assembly,ion-transportation blocking,and multi-physical properties of the micro-environment reconstruction,etc.The group also pioneered the cationic-hydrogel desensitizer,digital stump and core integrated restora-tions,and developed new crown and bridge restorative materials,gradient functionalisation guided tissue regeneration membrane,and electrically responsive alveolar bone augmentation restorative membranes,etc.These products have established new clinical strategies for tooth/jaw defect repair and achieved inno-vative results.In conclusion,the research results of our group have strongly supported the theoretical im-provement of stomatology,developed the technical system of oral hard tissue restoration,innovated the clinical treatment strategy,and led the progress of the stomatology industry.

The concept of "ntigen"is a relative one. The narrow concept of it condenses the process of activation of adaptive immune response and re-recognition of the same antigen, revealing the protective mechanism of vaccines with great significance for research and development of vaccines. However, the narrow concept involves adaptive immune system members: B cells, T cells and their effector products, which is difficult for beginners to understand the inherent meaning. Meanwhile, antigen classification fully summarizes the immune response process, so a variety of classification approach increases the difficulty in learning. Our teaching team analyzes the difficulties of this chapter in depth, and we implements the strategy that takes antibody structure and function as the breakthrough point and simplified adaptive immune response process as the core in teaching. A mind map that includes the main contents of this chapter is made during the process, which promotes the effectiveness of classroom teaching greatly.
