Synthesis and biological evaluation of 18F-labled 2-phenylindole derivatives as PET imaging probes for β-amyloid plaques

A novel series of fluorinated 2-phenylindole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as β-amyloid imaging probes for PET. The in vitro inhibition assay demonstrated that their binding affinities for Aβ_1–42 aggregates ranged from 28.4 to 1097.8 nM. One ligand was labeled with ¹⁸F ([¹⁸F]1a) for its high affinity (K_i = 28.4 nM), which was also confirmed by in vitro autoradiography experiments on brain sections of transgenic mouse (C57BL6, APPswe/PSEN1, 11 months old, male). In vivo biodistribution experiments in normal mice showed that this radiotracer displayed high initial uptake (5.82 ± 0.51% ID/g at 2 min) into and moderate washout (2.77 ± 0.31% ID/g at 60 min) from the brain. [¹⁸F]1a could be developed as a promising new PET imaging probe for Aβ plaques although necessary modifications are still needed.     

RET mutational spectrum in Hirschsprung disease: evaluation of 601 Chinese patients

Rare (RVs) and common variants of the RET gene contribute to Hirschsprung disease (HSCR; congenital aganglionosis). While RET common variants are strongly associated with the commonest manifestation of the disease (males; short-segment aganglionosis; sporadic), rare coding sequence (CDS) variants are more frequently found in the lesser common and more severe forms of the disease (females; long/total colonic aganglionosis; familial).Here we present the screening for RVs in the RET CDS and intron/exon boundaries of 601 Chinese HSCR patients, the largest number of patients ever reported. We identified 61 different heterozygous RVs (50 novel) distributed among 100 patients (16.64%). Those include 14 silent, 29 missense, 5 nonsense, 4 frame-shifts, and one in-frame amino-acid deletion in the CDS, two splice-site deletions, 4 nucleotide substitutions and a 22-bp deletion in the intron/exon boundaries and 1 single-nucleotide substitution in the 5' untranslated region. Exonic variants were mainly clustered in RET the extracellular domain. RET RVs were more frequent among patients with the most severe phenotype (24% vs. 15% in short-HSCR). Phasing RVs with the RET HSCR-associated haplotype suggests that RVs do not underlie the undisputable association of RET common variants with HSCR. None of the variants were found in 250 Chinese controls.     

Selection of 29 highly informative InDel markers for human identification and paternity analysis in Chinese Han population by the SNPlex genotyping system

The interest of forensic researchers in single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has been attracted because of its potential advantages, such as low mutation rates, amenable to high-throughput automated platform and the improved application in the analysis of degraded samples. In this paper, 29 highly informative insertion/deletion (InDel, a special kind of SNP) markers were selected from the dbSNP () according to the given criteria. 109 unrelated Chinese Han subjects were genotyped for the 29 InDels with SNPlex genotyping system. The allele frequency data revealed that the combined power of discrimination for the 29 InDel markers was 0.999999999990867 and the combined probability of paternity exclusion (PE) was 0.9930. Sensitivity studies were performed to evaluate the flexibility of the SNPlex genotyping system on the set of 29 InDels. Highly reproducible results could be obtained with 40–100 ng genomic DNA and the proportion of total allele drop-in was significantly increased when the amount of DNA added to PCR was lower than 35 ng. These results suggested that the set of 29 InDels was useful in paternity analysis or human identification in the future.     

Laparoscope resection of ectopic corticosteroid-secreting adrenal adenoma

Tumors originating from ectopic adrenal tissue are relatively rare. In this article, we describe a case with Cushing's syndrome caused by an ectopic adrenal adenoma. A 38 year-old male patient presenting with cushingoid appearance for 2 years was diagnosed to have ACTH-independent Cushing's syndrome based on endocrinological evaluation. Mutiple radiological examinations detected bilateral adrenal atrophy. When the images were investigated in a more expanded scope, a 3.0×3.5×5.3?cm mass was detected in the anterior of left renal hilum and left renal vein. The mass was successfully resected with intraoperative endoscopy and pathological evaluation revealed an ectopic adrenal tumor. It is suggested that when the endocrinlogically confirmed adrenal neoplasm could not be well and definitely localized, the possibility of ectopic adrenal should be presumed and further radiography examinations should extend to the field where ectopic adrenal usually presents.

辣椒果色相关研究进展

辣椒是全球广泛种植的高经济价值茄科作物之一。在辣椒的各个经济性状中果色是最直观的重要性状之一。由于辣椒果色丰富多彩,目前已经成为研究果色遗传的一种模式植物。辣椒青熟果色与老熟果色存在差异且遗传、分子调控机制不同,本文将就辣椒这两个时期果色的遗传及分子调控机制研究做一个综述。     

A Modified Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for Tumor Marker Gene Selection

Microarray data are often extremely asymmetric in dimensionality,such as thousands or even tens of thousands of genes but only a few hundreds of samples or less.Such extreme asymmetry between the dimensionality of genes and samples can lead to inaccurate diagnosis of disease in clinic.Therefore,it has been shown that selecting a small set of marker genes can lead to improved classification accuracy.In this paper,a simple modified ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm is proposed to select tumor-related ma...     

江西省山茶科富油植物的开发利用评价

山茶科许多种类既是重要的食用油脂原料,也是重要的工业用油脂以及化妆品或医药原料。通过野外考察、文献查阅以及山茶科种子含油量的实际测定,结果表明:江西省山茶科植物有10属75种;其中含油率在50%以上的有9种,如油茶、浙江红山茶、短柱茶、细叶短柱茶、钝叶短柱茶、糙果茶、全缘红山茶、粗毛石笔木和石笔木;含油率为30%~50%的有13种,含油率为10%~30%的约16种。本文对江西省山茶科含油植物及其生态习性、潜在的开发利用价值进行了研究,并对富油种进行了重点评价,认为油茶、浙江红山茶、粗毛石笔木、全缘红山茶、短柱茶可作为重点开发对象。
