Objective To detect diatoms in tissues and water samples from drowning cases by gene array,and explore the application value of DNA microarray.Methods Diatoms in the lung,liver,kidney samples,and on-site water samples from 19 drowned corpses that appeared in the rivers of Zhongshan City between July 2021 and April 2022,were detected by gene arrays.Moreover,diatom detection was also performed on 28 samples from 7 corpses by microscope.Then the testing results were compared and analyzed.Results For those 28 samples,diatom types in both tissue and water samples by gene detection were more than those detected by microscopy,the detection was statistically significant(P<0.05).However,there was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05)in the detection of diatom types between tissue samples and water samples both using gene arrays.In terms of tissue samples,diatoms were easier to be detected in lung than liver or kidney,and there were also more types of diatoms detected in lung.Diatom detection by gene arrays showed that the diatom types showed a decreasing trend as the tissue was further away from the entrance of body,and the difference of diatom types increased among tissues.Conclusion The gene array can effectively detect the diatom types and distribution characteristics in drowned corpses,and has great potential in the research of the traceability analysis of corpses found in water and the causes of death.

OBJECTIVE To explore the color and odor changes of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge.slices from different origins,and com-bine modern machine learning technology to achieve rapid differentiation of origins.METHODS Intelligent sensory technology was used to quantify the color and represent the odor of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge.slices from different geographical origins.Various data a-nalysis methods including principal component analysis(PCA),discriminant analysis,discriminant factor analysis(DFA),component heat maps,correlation analysis,machine learning and so on,were employed to establish a discrimination function for distinguishing the origin of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge.slices based on color data.RESULTS Classification and screening of odor information led to the i-dentification of 10 differential markers:ethanol,carbon disulfide,cyclopentane,3-methylfuran,propylene glycol,nonane,phenol,1,5-octadienone,1,8-cineole,and sotolon.It was also found that there was a significant correlation between the color and odor of the slices.Furthermore,based on the concept of data fusion,the study established classification models such as subspace clustering,and compared to single-color discriminant analysis,the classification accuracy was improved to 94.4%.CONCLUSION The feasibility and superiority of intelligent sensory technology in classifying the geographical origin of TCM is confirmed,providing new methods and insights for quality control of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge.slices.

Exosome is a specific subset of vesicles from intracellular origin vesicles containing varies of microRNAs, mRNAs, proteins and lipids. It has been demonstrated that contents of exosomes could be altered due to different physiological and pathological stress, which could be used as clinical biomarker to reveal the disease state. In addition, according to previous studies, exosomes could exert protective roles for cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction and ischemia/reperfusion injury, etc. The aim of this review is to summarize current research progress on exosomes, related implications in diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases and corresponding mechanisms.

Objective: To observe the related factors of premature infants with different gestational age. Methods: In the premature infants who were followed up after discharge, 114 cases with complete data were selected, and grouped at birth by gestational age.The possible impact variables were collected, single factor analysis was used to screen possible factors, then multiple linear regression analysis was conducted. Results: Of 114 premature infants, the incidence rate of pregnancy induced hypertension in pregnancy complications was 38.60%.Secondly, the incidence rate of premature rupture of membranes was 30.70%.The incidence of preterm birth in pregnancy complications was 2.111 times greater than that in non pregnancy complications, its confidence interval was (0.846, 5.269). The level of education of parents above college was preterm, and the severity was 0.627 times higher than that in non universities, its confidence interval was (0.311, 1.266). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that preconception complications and parents' degree of culture were the related factors of premature infants. Conclusion Reducing pregnancy complications and raising the level of parent culture can reduce preterm birth.

Objective To reduce the misdiagnosis of the inpatients admitted to digest department with abdominal pain through analyzing the consultation undertaken by surgeon.Method The causes and the constituent ratio according to the case records of those inpatients admitted to digest department because of abdominal pain were analyzed.Results The obstruction of hollow viscus was the first cauge(51.07%),and the tumor of digestive tract(17.78%)was the second cause for invitation for consultation to surgeon of the inpatients with abdominal pain in digest department wards.The ultrasound 32.78%,CT 26.67% and gastroenterological endoscope 13.89% were definite diagnosis,and should shorten the time of consultation.Conclusion Whether inpatient or outpatient with abdominal pain should be planned to be examined by ultrasound,CT or gastroenterological endoscope,obgerve the changes of the symptom and sign so that the misdiagnosis can be avoided.

AIM: To investigate the survival, migration and differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) in the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MACO) model and to observe the influence on motor function in the animal model. METHODS: hMSC with Hoeschst 33342 were injected into the animal model of MACO after Shenqiye induced for half an hour and their survival, migration, differentiation and the behavior changes in MACO rats were examined. RESULTS: hMSC had good homogeneousness and immunological reaction after implantation. The results showed that hMSC survived in rat brain for a long time over six weeks. As time going, hMSC were found in much more areas in the rat brain. Immunofluorescence staining suggested that implanted hMSC expressed human neuron specific enolase, neurofilament, and glial fibrillary acid protein. At the same time, improvements in abnormal behavior of MACO rats were observed. CONCLUSION: hMSC differentiate into neurons in the brain of rats, which means that hMSC is an ideal seed cells for the therapy of cerebral infarction.

The aim was to determine the antimicrobial activities of peptide antibiotics hPAB ? and construct the recombinant baculovirus of its mutants. Four mutants of hPAB ? were designed based on molecular autosyndetic modeling and its genes were cloned by PCR. The transfer plasmid and recombinant baculovirus were constructed. The results showed that the hPAB ? cloned previously, is a good peptide antibiotics. Four mutant genes of hPAB ? were inserted into pFAST HTa plasmid and the recombinant pFAST hPAB ? were screened by restriction enzymes analysis and DNA sequencing. The recombinant baculovirus was obtained after transforming pFAST hPAB ? into Escherichia coli DH10Bac. Our work lays a good foundation for further research.
