<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Serine hydroxymethyltransferase 1 (SHMT1) is a key enzyme in the folate metabolic pathway that plays an important role in biosynthesis by providing one carbon unit. SHMT1 C1420T may lead to the abnormal biosynthesis involved in DNA synthesis and methylation, and it may eventually increase cancer susceptibility. Many epidemiologic studies have explored the association between C1420T polymorphism and the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), but the results have been contradictory. Therefore, we performed this meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The meta-analyses were conducted to evaluate the effect of SHMT1 C1420T polymorphism on NHL risk. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to measure the strength of the association.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Eight studies encompassing 3232 cases and 4077 controls were included. A statistically significant association was found between SHMT1 C1420T polymorphism and NHL risk under the allelic comparison (T vs. C: OR = 1.09, 95% CI 1.01-1.17); a borderline association was found between SHMT1 C1420T polymorphism and NHL risk under the homozygote model (TT vs. CC: OR = 1.18, 95% CI 1.00-1.39) and the dominant model (CT+TT vs. CC: OR = 1.10, 95% CI 1.00-1.21).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>SHMT1 C1420T polymorphism may be associated with NHL risk, which needs to be validated in large, prospective studies.</p>

The evaluation of permeability in biopharmaceutics classification system of Chinese materia medica (CMMBCS) requires multicomponent as a whole in order to conduct research, even in the study of a specific component, should also be put in the multicomponent environment. Based on this principle, the high content components in Gegen Qinlian decoction were used as multicomponent environmental impact factors in the experiment, and the relevant parameters of intestinal permeability about puerarin were measured with using in situ single-pass intestinal perfusion model, to investigate and evaluate the intestinal permeability of puerarin with other high content components. The experimental results showed that different proportions of baicalin, glycyrrhizic acid and berberine had certain influence on intestinal permeability of puerarin, and glycyrrhizic acid could significantly inhibit the intestinal absorption of puerarin, moreover, high concentration of berberine could promote the absorption of puerarin. The research results indicated that the important research ideas of permeability evaluation in biopharmaceutics classification system of Chinese materia medica with fully considering the effects of other ingredients in multicomponent environment.

The study is a paticular embodiment of Chinese patent medicine based on biopharmaceutics classification system of Chinese materia medica (CMMBCS) , focusing on assessment of synchronization issues of dissolution that may affect the timing of the multicomponent absorption. The accumulative dissolution percentages of nine components in Gengen Qinlian tablets in different dissolution solvents and times were determined by HPLC. The dissolution curve was drew and its similarity was evaluated by similarity factors (f2) and cluster method. Results in this experiment showed that the components that peak 7 and peak 8 (baicalin) represented had poor similarity with the reference peak 2 (puerarin). Their similarity factors were both 43 in water dissolution media and 31 and 45 in pH 7.4 dissolution media, respectively. Components that peaks represented had better similarity with the reference peak 2 (puerarin) in other medium. It illustrated that components that peak 3,4,5,6 (berberine) represented had fully synchronous dissolution characteristics with the reference peak 2 (puerarin), components peak 1 and 9 represented had nearly fully synchronous dissolution characteristics with the reference peak 2 (puerarin), while components that peak 7 and 8 (baicalin) represented had no synchronous dissolution characteristics with the reference peak 2 (puerarin).

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>It is demonstrated that KRAS2, functioning as an oncogene, plays a critical role in carcinogenesis. However, some studies suggest that the wild type KRAS2, located in the region of 12p12.1, takes its effect as a tumor suppressor gene. This study, therefore, is aimed to investigate the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 12p12-13 region in 10 human colon carcinomas.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>LOH analysis of the 12p12-13 region was performed by PCR, using 11 microsatellite markers in 12p12-13 region. The relationships between LOH for each marker and clinical pathologic factors were evaluated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>LOH in at least one of the loci in 12p12-13 region was detected in 30% (3/10) of adjacent tissues; the highest frequency of LOH was identified at the locus of D12S1034 in 28.57% (2/7) of adjacent tissues. 60% (6/10) carcinoma tissues were found to have LOH in at least one locus in the same region; the most frequent LOH was found at the loci of D12S1034 and D12S1591, both about 42.86% (3/7). Among all samples, 3 cases were noted to have LOH in both adjacent and tumor tissues, and 3 cases were shown to have LOH only in tumor tissues. Occurrence of LOH was not correlated with sex, age, tumor size and lymph node metastasis.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Allelic loss on 12p12-13 region would influence the KRAS2 expression by reducing the gene-dosage in colon carcinogenesis.</p>

To investigate effects of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMMSC) on hematopoiesis after allo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), allogeneic BMT model from Fischer 344 rats (RT-1Al) to Wistar rats (RT-1Au) was established; effects of MSCs on hematopoietic reconstitution were studied by survival rate, peripheral blood counts, histological analysis and FACS at day 30 after transplantation. The results showed that (1) MSCs from donor Fisher344 could survive in recipient irradiated by lethal dose and could be found in the thymus, spleen and bone marrow of the recipient at 30 days after cotransplantation with BM by measuring EGFP gene. (2) Cotransplanation of MSCs and BM improved hematopoietic reconstitution. Lymphocyte and platelet counts of peripheral blood in cotransplantation group were higher than those in the control group. Active hematopoiesis and increase of bone marrow nucleated cells were observed in cotransplantation group. MSCs significantly enhanced hematopoiesis of B lymphocyte and megakaryocytopoietic lineages by FACS analysis. It is concluded that (1) MSCs of Fisher344 can be found in the thymus, spleen, bone marrow of the recipients at 30 days after cotransplantion by measuring EGFP gene. (2) hematopoietic reconstitution is significantly enhanced by MSCs cotransplanted with BM.

To study the pathogens incidences in cord blood and the efficiency of different detective methods, 60 samples were drawn and reserved from collected and processed cord blood, respectively. The BACTEC 9050 system, improved Martin/thioglycollate broth (22 degrees C) and thioglycollate broth (35 degrees C) were employed to detected bacteria (including fungus) at the same time. Two hundred and six cord blood serum samples were used to detect the HBV DNA and HCV RNA by molecular biology technique, HBsAg, Anti-HBC, Anti-HCV, Anti-HCMV-IgM, HTLV-1, HTLV-2, HIV-1 and HIV-2 by ELISA and RBC agglutination test were used to detect the TPHA. Results showed that using BACTEC 9050 system, the incidence of bacteria and fungus was 3.33% and 0% respectively in collected cord blood; in processed cord blood, the rates increased to 6.67% and 1.67%, respectively. The sensitivity of BACTEC 9050 was higher than that of Martin/thioglycollate broth (22 degrees C/35 degrees C) culture. In 206 serum samples, the positive rate of HBV DNA was 5.8%, HCV RNA was 2.4%, HBsAg was 2.4%, HCMV-IgM was 1.89%, HCV was 2.4% and Anti-HBC was 29.4%. In those samples that Anti-HBC was positive, the positive rate of HBV DNA was 6.7%. It was concluded that the incidences of microbiological contamination in cord blood were high. The routine culture system would lead to false negative results of obligate anaerobes. It was necessary to replace the current culture system with improved system, such as BACTEC 9050 system. The molecular biology technique would make up for the default of ELISA.

AIM: To purify human yolk sac mesenchymal ste m cells (hYS-MSC) and investigate its osteogenic and neurogenic differentiation potentials. METHODS: hYS-MSC were separated from yolk sac and purified via p assage culture. The karyotype of hYS-MSCs was analyzed via G-banded characterist ics. Flow cytometric analysis was used to determine the cell cycle and phenotype of hYS-MSC. The AKP expression of hYS-MSC was also tested. Osteogenic different iation of hYS-MSCs was induced by 10 -8mol/L dexamethasone, 10 mmol/L ?-gl ycerophosphate and 50 mg/L vitamin C. Alizarin red S stain was used for identifi cation of mineralization. ?-mecaptoethanol or salviae miltiorrhizae were used t o induce neurogenic differentiation of hYS-MSCs. The expressions of NSE, NF and GFAP were identified by immunohistochemical method. RESULTS: hYS-MSCs could be purified at passages 2 or 3. The cell cycle analysis suggested that hYS-MSCs showed strong proliferational potentials by which the cells kept normal diploid karyotype during the in vitro cultur e. Flow cytometry showed the phenotype of purified hYS-MSCs was uniformly positi ve for CD29, CD44, CD105, and CD166, and negative for reactivity to antigens CD3 4, CD45, or CD86. hYS-MSCs were weakly but clearly positive in AKP. Osteogenic d ifferentiation was appeared after induction of osteogenic differentiation. hYS-M SCs, which were of spindle shape, uniform in size, were induced to pleomorphism osteoblast-like cells which expressed high level of AKP. Aggregates or nodules w ere formed at day 7 and calcium accumulation was detected by alizarin red S stai ning on day 10 or day 14. Neurogenic differentiation of hYS-MSCs was induced by ?-mecaptoethanol or salviae miltiorrhizae. NSE, NF or GFAP positive cells were detected by immunohistochemical staining. CONCLUSIONS: hYS-MSCs have strong proliferation potential and th e normal diploid karyotype is kept during the in vitro culture. The phenoty pe of hYS-MSCs is coincident with adult hMSCs. hYS-MSCs could be induced to dif ferent iate into osteogenic or neurogenic cells.
