Objective To investigate the expression of calumenin(CALU)in gastric cancer and its effect on metastasis and invasion of gastric cancer,and analyze its relationship with the prognosis of gastric cancer patients.Methods The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database was used to analyze the expression level of CALU in gastric cancer and its impact on patient prognosis.A total of 102 pairs of gastric cancer and paracancerous tissue samples were collected from 189 gastric cancer patients who underwent partial gastrectomy in First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from January 2018 to December 2022.The expression of CALU in gastric cancer and paracancerous tissues was detected by immunohistochemical assay,and the relationship of its expression with clinicopathological parameters was statistically analyzed.After gastric cancer cells with CALU knockdown and overexpression were constructed,and the efficiencies of knockdown and overexpression were evaluated by Western blotting as well as RT-qPCR.Transwell assay was applied to determine the effect of CALU on the migration and invasion abilities of gastric cancer cells.Results Bioinformation analysis found that CALU was significantly highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues(P<0.05),and its expression level was negatively correlated with the prognosis of patients(P<0.05).Immunohistochemical results showed that the expression level of CALU was obviously highly in gastric cancer tissues than the paracancerous tissues(P<0.01),and its level was positively correlated with the depth of infiltration(P<0.01),lymph node metastasis(P<0.01),and TNM stage(P<0.05).Statistical analysis revealed that the clinical data of 102 patients showed that CALU expression was positively correlated with the TNM stage(P=0.021)and T stage(P<0.001)and N stage(P=0.028).CALU knockdown significantly inhibited the migration and invasion abilities of gastric cancer cells(P<0.01),while over-expression obtained the opposite results.Conclusion CALU is highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and promotes metastasis and invasion of gastric cancer and thus leads to poor prognosis in patients.

Objective:To disclose the genome characteristics and mutations of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) strains from the imported cases of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Gansu province, thereby to provide scientific reference for the prevention and control of COVID-19 in Gansu province. Methods:The respiratory tract specimens of imported COVID-19 cases from seven countries in Gansu province in 2020 were collected. The virus genome was sequenced by the second-generation sequencing technology, the whole genome sequences were compared and analyzed, and the MEGA software was used to construct a phylogenetic tree based on the neighbor-joining method.Results:A total of 46 2019-nCoV genome sequences with a length of 29 605~29 903 bp were obtained. Compared with the Wuhan reference strain (GenBank ID: NC_045512.2), it was found that the median (minimum to maximum) number of the nucleotide mutations of the 2019-nCoV genome sequence of the imported cases was 10 (7-24). A total of 134 nucleotide mutation sites were found in all 2019-nCoV genome sequences from 7 entry countries in Gansu province, distributed in 11 open reading frames (ORFs). The top three nucleotide mutations in different proteins: ORF1ab (78), S(20), N(12). Among the 134 nucleotide mutations, 82 caused amino acid mutations, and all of them were missense mutations. No insertions or deletions were seen. Types of deletion mutations, the top three amino acid mutations in different proteins: ORF1ab (46), S(11), N(10); the key sites of the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the S protein have not been mutated.Conclusions:No imported cases in Gansu province have been found to carry the reported mutations that can clearly lead to changes in the spread and pathogenicity of 2019-nCoV.

Objective To explore the distribution of genetic structure of Y-SNP and Y-STR genetic markers in different ethnic groups and its application in forensic science. Methods SNaPshot minisequencing was used to detect the polymorphisms of 12 Y-SNP loci in 439 males from 6 ethnic groups, including Guangxi Han, Guangxi Jing, Guangxi Miao, Guangxi Yao, Guangxi Zhuang and Guangxi Dong. DNATyperTM Y26 kit was used to multiplex-amplify 26 Y-STR loci. The PCR products were analyzed by 3130xl genetic analyzer. The network analysis of Y-STR haplotype under the same Y-SNP haplogroup was analyzed by Network 5.0 software. Results Six haplogroups defined by 12 Y-SNP loci were detected in 6 ethnic groups, and 362 haplotypes were detected in 26 Y-STR loci. The haplotype diversity was 0.996 6. In the C haplogroup, the samples from Guangxi Yao, Guangxi Zhuang and Guangxi Dong were clustered on different branches; in the O1 haplogroup, those from Guangxi Zhuang, Guangxi Miao and Guangxi Jing were relatively independent and clustered separately; in the O2 haplogroup, some samples from Guangxi Miao and Guangxi Yao were gathered in a cluster. Conclusion Based on the Y-STR network analysis of samples with identical haplogroup of Y-SNP, some ethnic groups can be preliminarily distinguished, which could be used to infer male suspects' ethnic group through detecting their genetic markers left in the crime scene.

A new method for detection of Escherichia coli exist in licorice decoction was developed by using DNA-based electrochemical biosensor. The thiolated capture probe was immobilized on a gold electrode at first. Then the aptamer for Escherichia coli was combined with the capture probe by hybridization. Due to the stronger interaction between the aptamer and the E. coli, the aptamer can dissociate from the capture probe in the presence of E. coli in licorice decoction. The biotinylated detection probe was hybridized with the single-strand capture probe. As a result, the electrochemical response to Escherichia coli can be measured by using differential pulse voltammetric in the presence of α-naphthyl phosphate. The plot of peak current vs. the logarithm of concentration in the range from 2.7×10² to 2.7×10⁸ CFU·mL⁻¹ displayed a linear relationship with a detection limit of 50 CFU·mL⁻¹. The relative standard deviation of 3 successive scans was 2.5%，2.1%，4.6% for 2×10²，2×10⁴，2×106：⁶ CFU·mL⁻¹ E. coli, respectively. The proposed procedure showed better specificity to E. coli in comparison to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. In the detection of the real extractum glycyrrhizae, the results between the proposed strategy and the GB assay showed high degree of agreement, demonstrating the designed biosensor could be utilized as a powerful tool for microbial examination for traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective: To study the expression status and clinical significance of PTEN and NDRG1 in colorectal carcinoma. Methods: Tissue samples of 91 colorectal cancers, 30 colorectal adenomas and 21 colorectal normal mucosa tissues were collected. Postoperative specimens were examined by immunohistochemistry for PTEN and NDRG1 expression. The expression of PTEN and NDRG1 was correlated with clinicopathological feature. Results: The expression of PTEN and NDRG1 in the studied cases was detected in 55.0%(50/91) and 76.9%(70/91), respectively. Their expression was significantly different from that of colorectal adenomas and normal colorectal mucosa tissues(P<0.05). Decreased expression of PTEN and over expression of NDRG1 were significantly related to the lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The expression of PTEN was negatively related to that of NDRG1 in colorectal carcinoma(r_s′=-0.251, P=0.016). The patients with negative expression of PTEN showed a lower disease free survival and overall survival(P<0.05). Conclusions Loss of expression of PTEN protein may be an important molecular marker in predicting the occurrence and PTEN may be useful as a prognostic marker of colorectal carcinoma. NDRG1 plays a role in the development of colorectal carcinoma, although not a prognostic indicator.The ancillary study with combined detection of PTEN and NDRG1 may be useful in difficult cases.
