【Objective】 To evaluate the effectiveness of random quality control sampling in blood sample detetion by ELISA. 【Methods】 Blood samples of 5 mL specification of blood donors from our blood station from May to July 2022 were selected for routine operation on a fully automated sampler. J standard substances(3 mL specification) as daily samples were added to A1 well, H12 well and random wells of HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV, and -TP, and then placed in a fully automated enzyme immunoassay analyzer for testing. With random well quality control as the internal quality control judgment standard, 20 consecutive tests were conducted and were divided into A1 (well) group, H12 (well) group and random (well) group according to different well positions. Quality control maps were drawn using Levey-Jennings quality control chart with random group as the framework, and were compared with the quality control map of A1 well and H12 well results in the same day. 【Results】 The mean quality control levels of infectious indicators of blood transfusion in blood donors by ELISA were: HBsAg 3.87±0.28, anti-HCV 3.79±0.38, anti-HIV 3.64±0.30 and anti-TP 4.53±0.51. 【Comparison】 of HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV and anti-TP, between random group, A1 group and H12 group were HBsAg 3.87± 0.28 vs 4.09±0.30 vs 3.64±0.26, anti-HCV 3.78±0.37 vs 3.96±0.38 vs 3.63±0.38, anti-HIV 3.63±0.31 vs 3.82±0.32 vs 3.48±0.28 and anti-TP 4.51±0.51 vs 4.71±0.52 vs 4.36±0.51, The S/CO value of each indicator were H12 group0.05) . Using random group as the quality control framework standard, 5 points in group A1 fell outside of +2s, and 1 point in group H12 fell outside of -2s, resulting in a total of 6 alarms. With the quality control substance placed in A1 well of the ELISA plate, the judgment of detection results of the entire ELISA plate could be inevitably affected, especially the last row of low concentration virus marker samples on the ELISA plate. 【Conclusion】 The application of random quality control sampling method in donor blood by ELISA is scientific and reasonable, which can reduce the systematic error caused by artificial setting of ELISA plate fixed well positions and can also discover edge effects that affect the detection results.

Connexin (Cx), a multigene-encoded transmembrane protein family, forms either gap junctions ( GJ) or hemichannels (HC) to mediate intercellular communication in plasma mem¬brane between adjacent cells or interacts with proteins by its car- boxyl terminal in the cytoplasm to participate in the process of tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, necrosis, invasion, metasta¬sis, drug resistance and stem cell characteristics.However, mi- slocalization of Cx in cytoplasm or nucleus often occurs in many tumors, and involved in the occurrence and development of tumors.Subcellular localization of Cx is affected by post-transla- tional modifications, including phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and acetylation.In this paper the classification and function of Cx, the relationship between subcellular localization of Cx and tumorigenesis and the regulation of post-translational modifica¬tion on Cx are reviewed in order to provide new ideas for the study of Cx as a potential target for cancer therapy.

Objective:To observe the effect of tetrahydroxy stilbene glycoside （TSG） on the expression of glycogen synthase kinase 3β （GSK3β）， cyclic adenosine monophosphate-dependent protein kinase （PKA） and Serine/threonine phosphatase 2A（PP2A） in the brain of amyloid precursor protein/presenilin-1/Tau （APP/PS1/Tau） triple-transgenic mice dementia model. Method:A total of forty-five 8-month-old APP/PS1/Tau transgenic mice were randomly divided into model group， positive control group （Huperzine-A， 0.15 mg·kg^-1）， low， medium and high dose TSG groups （TSG， 0.033，0.1，0.3 g·kg^-1）， with 9 mice in each group， and another nine C5B7L/6J mice of the same age were selected as normal control group. After 60 days of intragastric administration， the general structure of hippocampal neurons was observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， immunohistochemical （IHC） was used to detect the expression of PKA protein in the brain of mice in each group， the mRNA expression levels of GSK3β， PKA and PP2A were detected by real time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）， and protein expression levels of GSK3β and PP2A were detected by Western blot. Result:Compared with the normal control group， the apoptosis level of neurons in the model group was significantly increased， the protein and mRNA expression levels of GSK3β and PKA were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the protein and mRNA expression levels of PP2A were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the apoptosis level of neurons in each treatment group was significantly down-regulated， the protein and mRNA expression levels of GSK3β and PKA were significantly down-regulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the protein and mRNA expression levels of PP2A were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Conclusion:The mechanism of TSG in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease （AD） may be related to lowering the transcription and expression of GSK3β and PKA， increasing the transcription and expression of PP2A.

Objective:To study the effect of Ganoderma triterpenoids combined with exogenous monosialoteterahexosyl ganglioside (GM1) on cognitive dysfunction in rats with epilepsy. Methods:A total of 75 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into blank control group, epileptic model group, Ganoderma triterpenoids group, GM1 group and GM1 combined with Ganoderma triterpenoids group (combination group), with 15 rats in each group. All the groups, except the blank control group, were intraperitoneally injected with pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) 35 mg/kg once a day for 28 days. Medication groups were given corresponding administration based on daily intraperitoneal injection of PTZ. They were tested with Morris Water Maze; and were observed with transmission electron microscopy and HE staining for hippocampal neurons. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression of actin-binding protein (Cofilin), synaptophysin (SYN) and growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43) mRNA in hippocampus of rats. Results:Compared with the blank control group, the escape lantency prolonged in the epileptic model group in all the time points (P < 0.05). Compared with the epileptic model group, the escape lantency shortened in the treatment groups somewhen (P < 0.05). Compared with the epileptic model group, the number of crossing the platform increased in the treatment groups (P < 0.01), and the time of staying in the target quadrant prolonged (P < 0.01); while the number of pyramidal cells increased, the nuclear lysis and fragmentation reduced, the structure of neurons and the number of synapses improved， as well as the organelle structure. Compared with the blank control group, the expression of Cofilin mRNA increased (P < 0.05), and the expression of SYN mRNA and GAP-43 mRNA decreased (P < 0.05) in the epileptic model group; compared with the epileptic model group, the expression of Cofilin mRNA decreased (P < 0.05), and the expression of SYN mRNA increased (P < 0.05) in all the treatment groups, while the expression of GAP-43 mRNA increased (P < 0.05) only in the combination group. Conclusion:Ganoderma triterpenoids, GM1 and their combination can improve the learning and memory abilities of epileptic rats, which may be associated with increasing the expression of SYN and GAP-43, decreasing the expression of Cofilin, to promote the synaptic remodeling of hippocampal tissue and protect brain neurons from PTZ-induced epilepsy.

ObjectiveThere are few reports about abnormal oligonucleotide binding fold domain protein genes (OBGs) affecting the initiation of DNA replication in hepatocellular carcinoma through the microchromosome maintenance (MCM) complex. This study aims to explore the roles of reverse-transcription-related genes (RTGs) in Hepatocellular Carcinoma cells (HCC) and the correlation between gene polymorphisms and abnormal gene expression.Methods We created a mouse model by injecting hepatocellular carcinoma cell line H22 (logarithmic growth phase) and dissected the tumor bodies from tumor-forming mice. The control group was treated by isotonic saline without H22. The healthy liver tissue cells were taken from the control mice. The total RNA of the H22 group and control group were extracted, and differentially expressed genes were analyzed. Screening of differentially expressed reverse transcription-related DEGs (RDEGs), GO and KEGG analysis of RDEGs. The interaction analysis of RDEGs encoded proteins, and the correlation analysis of RDEGs polymorphism and gene expression.ResultsThere were 193 differentially expressed RTGs in HCCs, which were involved in two biological procedures, three cell components, one molecular function, three signal pathways, and three functional sites; Its function is mainly concentrated in DNA replication, especially the construction of MCM complex and telomere complex in which OBGs participate in the initiation of replication. Most related genes had OB fold domains. The results also showed that both AS and SNV caused gene polymorphism was positively correlated with gene expression, and most OBGs in HCC had SNV phenomenon, but not occurred in healthy liver tissue.Conclusion Collectively, AS and SNV may be important regulatory factors for gene expression. SNV may particularly affect the function of OBGs in the MCM complex to abnormally initiate DNA replication in HCC.

Objective To study the distribution characteristics of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of miR-107 gene rs2296616 C/T in Guangxi healthy population and comparison with that in different ethnic populations, and further to explore the correlation between rs2296616 C/T SNP and blood lipid level. Methods The polymorphisms of miR-107 gene rs2296616 C/T among 372 Chinese healthy individuals of Guangxi were detected by multiplex SNaPshot and DNA sequencing method, and the blood lipid-related indexes were detected by 7600 biochemical analyzer. The distribution of rs2296616 C/T polymorphism among different ethnic groups and the differences of blood lipid levels among different genotypes were compared by statistical method . Results MiR-107 gene rs2296616 C/T SNP contained TT(91. 1%), CT (8. 9%)genotypes and T(95. 6%), C(4. 4%)alleles in Guangxi healthy population. The frequencies of genotype and allele distribution of rs2296616 C/T were not significantly different among genders in Guangxi population(P>0. 05). However, there were significant differences in the genotype and allele frequency of miR-107 gene rs2296616 C/T in Guangxi healthy population compared with those of Europeans, Japanese, Africans, Mexicans and Indians published in HapMap(P<0. 05), no significant difference compared with HapMap-HGB (P > 0. 05). When compared the blood lipid level among two genotypes in rs2296616 C/T, we found that the level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) with TT genotype was significantly different from that of CT group (P < 0. 05) . Conclusion There are different degrees of variation in the polymorphisms of rs2296616 C / T of miR-107 gene between Guangxi people and other ethnic populations. The polymorphism of rs2296616 C / T locus is related to the level of HDL-C.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs12009, rs1140763 and rs16927997 in the 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) of the glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) gene with the risk of male asthenozoospermia (AZS).

METHODSWe included 400 AZS patients in the AZS group and another 400 fertile men as normal controls. Using the SNaPshot technique, we genotyped the rs12009, rs1140763 and rs16927997 polymorphisms in the 3'UTR of the GRP78 gene in all the male subjects and analyzed the association of the three SNPs with AZS.

RESULTSThe percentage of progressively motile sperm was significantly lower in the AZS group than in the normal controls (［20.09 ± 8.18］ % vs ［57.16 ± 13.45］ %, P <0.01). Three genotypes of CC, CT and TT and 2 alleles of C and T were found in rs12009 and rs1140763 of the GRP78 gene, and another three genotypes of GG, GA and AA and two alleles of G and A were observed in rs16927997. There were no statistically significant differences between the control and AZS groups in the frequencies of the C and T alleles in rs12009 (44.3% vs 47.3% and 55.7% vs 52.7%, P >0.05) or rs1140763 (50.0% vs 52.0% and 50.0% vs 48.0%, P >0.05) or those of the G and A alleles in rs16927997 (6.0% vs 4.4% and 94.0% vs 95.6%, P >0.05), nor in the genotypes and allele frequencies of the 3 polymorphisms (P >0.05). Furthermore, three haplotypes of C-C-A, T-C-G and T-T-A were observed in the male subjects but showed no evident correlation between the AZS and normal control groups.

CONCLUSIONSThe polymorphisms in the 3'UTR of the GRP78 gene are not correlated with the risk of male asthenozoospermia.
