人参茎叶皂甙对高胆固醇饮食大鼠再灌注性心律失常和脂质过氧化的影响(英文)

研究人参茎叶皂甙(GSL)对高胆固醇饮食大鼠心肌再灌注性心律失常(RPA_r)和脂质过氧化的影响。方法:将胆固醇乳剂用灌胃法饲养大鼠14d,建立高脂血症模型,各组大鼠进行心肌缺血再灌注实验,观察高脂血症和GSL对大鼠心肌缺血再灌注2h后血丙二醇(MDA),超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和一氧化氮(NO)水平的影响和对再灌注性心律失常发生率的影响。结果显示:(1)用胆固醇乳剂饲养大鼠14d,成功建立高脂血症模型。同时给予GSL14d有明显降脂作用。(2)高脂血症状态下,心肌缺血再灌注2h后,血MDA升高(p<0.01),SOD降低(p<0.01)和NO(p<0.05)降低,再灌注10min内RPAr的发生率增高。(3)GSL组再灌注后2h的血MDA降低,而SOD和NO水平显著升高;使RPAr发生率大为降低,无VF发生。实验显示高脂血症加重心肌缺血再灌注损伤和提高RPAr发生率及动物死亡率,GSL可减少高脂饮食大鼠脂质过氧化和诱导体内NO生成而减轻缺血再灌注心肌损伤,降低缺血再灌注性心律失常发生率。     

Short tandem repeat polymorphism in the flanking region of the human phosphoglycerate kinase gene in a Japanese population

The human phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK1) gene is located within Xqll-Xql3 and is closely linked to the androgen receptor gene within a region implicated in a number of X-chromosome-linked urologic disorders. A polymorphism of a TATC short tandem repeat (STR) is present downstream from the PGK1 3' nuclease-sensitive site. We present the PGK1 flanking STR sequence and population genetic data for 190 Japanese males and 83 Japanese females. Ten STR alleles and 29 genotypes were identified in the population. Five alleles--*10, *11, *12, *13, and *14--were common in the Japanese with frequencies greater than 10%. No significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were established. The power of discrimination was 0.993 for females and 0.819 for males; heterozygosity was 0.759 for females; and the polymorphic information content was 0.936. These data indicate that this STR locus shows a high degree of polymorphism in this Japanese population and may prove to be a useful genetic marker in forensic medicine, in determining the clonality of neoplasms, and potentially in studying predisposition to prostate cancer and other urologic diseases.     

通过和玉米杂交诱导硬粒小麦单倍体

硬粒小麦（Ｔｒｉｔｉｃｕｍ ｄｕｒｕｍ Ｄｅｓｆ．）ＤＲ１４７授以超甜玉米（Ｚｅａ ｍ ａｙｓ Ｌ．） ｓｓ ７７００的花粉后,在８３．４％ 的柱头上观察到花粉萌发及花粉管长入胚囊,有９．９％ 的子房发生了卵细胞的单受精,１．９％ 的子房发生了中央细胞的单受精,３２．７％ 的子房发生了双受精。尽管双受精后可同时形成胚和胚乳,但胚乳往往发育迟缓,甚至败育。硬粒小麦×玉米形成的杂合子核型高度不稳定,在最初的几次细胞分裂中,来自父本玉米的染色体逐步被排除,最后形成硬粒小麦单倍体胚。在授以玉米花粉４ ｈ 后用１００ ｐｐｍ ２,４－Ｄ溶液浸蘸硬粒小麦穗部,可以有效地促进幼胚在缺乏胚乳或胚乳败育情况下的生长和发育。授粉９—１３ ｄ 后由５３３个硬粒小麦子房解剖出２５个胚,得胚率为４．７％ 。通过幼胚拯救获得１１棵正常植株,植株获得率为２．１％ 。根尖细胞染色体计数表明,它们为单倍体（２ｎ＝ ２ｘ＝ １４）。

Identification of cancer hallmark‐associated gene and lncRNA cooperative regulation pairs and dictate lncRNA roles in oral squamous cell carcinoma

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignant tumour in the oral and maxillofacial region. Numerous cancers share ten common traits (“hallmarks”) that govern the transformation of normal cells into cancer cells. Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important factors that contribute to tumorigenesis. However, very little is known about the cooperative relationships between lncRNAs and cancer hallmark‐associated genes in OSCC. Through integrative analysis of cancer hallmarks, somatic mutations, copy number variants (CNVs) and expression, some OSCC‐specific cancer hallmark‐associated genes and lncRNAs are identified. A computational framework to identify gene and lncRNA cooperative regulation pairs (GLCRPs) associated with different cancer hallmarks is developed based on the co‐expression and co‐occurrence of mutations. The distinct and common features of ten cancer hallmarks based on GLCRPs are characterized in OSCC. Cancer hallmark insensitivity to antigrowth signals and self‐sufficiency in growth signals are shared by most GLCRPs in OSCC. Some key GLCRPs participate in many cancer hallmarks in OSCC. Cancer hallmark‐associated GLCRP networks have complex patterns and specific functions in OSCC. Specially, some key GLCRPs are associated with the prognosis of OSCC patients. In summary, we generate a comprehensive landscape of cancer hallmark‐associated GLCRPs that can act as a starting point for future functional explorations, the identification of biomarkers and lncRNA‐based targeted therapy in OSCC.     

The Systematic Classification of Gallbladder Stones

Background

To develop a method for systematic classification of gallbladder stones, analyze the clinical characteristics of each type of stone and provide a theoretical basis for the study of the formation mechanism of different types of gallbladder stones.

Methodology

A total of 807 consecutive patients with gallbladder stones were enrolled and their gallstones were studied. The material composition of gallbladder stones was analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and the distribution and microstructure of material components was observed with Scanning Electron Microscopy. The composition and distribution of elements were analyzed by an X-ray energy spectrometer. Gallbladder stones were classified accordingly, and then, gender, age, medical history and BMI of patients with each type of stone were analyzed.

Principal Findings

Gallbladder stones were classified into 8 types and more than ten subtypes, including cholesterol stones (297), pigment stones (217), calcium carbonate stones (139), phosphate stones (12), calcium stearate stones (9), protein stones (3), cystine stones (1) and mixed stones (129). Mixed stones were those stones with two or more than two kinds of material components and the content of each component was similar. A total of 11 subtypes of mixed stones were found in this study. Patients with cholesterol stones were mainly female between the ages of 30 and 50, with higher BMI and shorter medical history than patients with pigment stones (P<0.05), however, patients with pigment, calcium carbonate, phosphate stones were mainly male between the ages of 40 and 60.

Conclusion

The systematic classification of gallbladder stones indicates that different types of stones have different characteristics in terms of the microstructure, elemental composition and distribution, providing an important basis for the mechanistic study of gallbladder stones.
