Analysis of ADAR gene variant in a Chinese pedigree affected with dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria / 中华医学遗传学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the clinical features and genetic basis for a Chinese pedigree affected with hereditary dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH).@*METHODS@#Peripheral blood samples of the proband and his mother were collected and subjected to PCR and Sanger sequencing.@*RESULTS@#The patient has conformed to the typical pattern of DSH and manifested with hyperpigmentation, hypo- and hyperpigmentation spots on the back of hands, feet and face. Sanger sequencing confirmed that the proband and his mother have both harbored heterozygous splicing variant c.2762+1G>T in exon 9 of the ADAR gene, which was unreported previously. The same variant was not detected among 100 healthy controls. According to the guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, the variant was predicted to be pathogenic (PVS1+PM2+PP4).@*CONCLUSION@#The c.2762+1G>T variant of the ADAR gene probably underlay the DSH in this pedigree. Above finding has enriched the spectrum of ADAR gene mutations.

The 2-year overall survival (OS) rate of first-generation and second-generation TKI group was 34.9% and 64.0% (χ2=4.743, P=0.029) , the 2-year relapse free survival (RFS) rate was 17.2% and 55.0% (χ2=8.801, P=0.003) , respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that complete molecular remission (HR=0.281, 95%CI 0.151-0.523, P<0.001) was independent favorable prognostic factor for overall survival (OS) , complete molecular remission (HR=0.209, 95%CI 0.112-0.390, P<0.001) and second-generation TKI (HR=0.318, 95%CI 0.158-0.641, P=0.001) were independent favorable prognostic factors for RFS.@*Conclusion@#For TKI-based regimen of BCR-ABL positive ALL, second-generation TKI is superior to first-generation TKI in OS and RFS time.

Estimation of 137Cs source term from Fukushima nuclear accident / 中华放射医学与防护杂志

Objective To study the 137Cs source term from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant,based on inverse modeling,so as to provide reference for accident assessment and radiation protection.Methods The 137Cs source term was estimated by means of inverse modeling of nuclear accidents based on variational data assimilation combined with truncated total least squares (TTLS-VAR).The environmental monitoring data was balanced,and the dispersion model operator and monitoring data vector were corrected,in order to reduce the influence from atmospheric dispersion model error,and then improve the accuracy of inverse modeling of source term.Results The total amount of 137Cs released was estimated to be 1.74× 1016-3.73× 1016 Bq,with the highest peak of release rates estimated appearing on March 18,2011 and the average release rate in exceed of 1.00× 1012 Bq/s.The estimated total amount of 137 Cs was close to the data published by IAEA and UNSCEAR.Also,the estimated release sequences were in good consistent with Japanese analytical results of source terms and sequence of events.The highest peak of the estimated release rate curve corresponds to the leakage incident of unit 3.Conclusions In this study,the 137Cs source term from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is estimated by using TTLS-VAR inverse modeling,which could provide the basis for accident assessment and radiation protection.

Progress of diagnosis and treatment of fetal and newborn lower urinary tract obstruction / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Congenital lower urinary tract obstruction in the fetus and is rare in neonates,but it is identified in-creasingly in the era of prenatal sonography and resulted in substantial perinatal mortality with lifelong morbidity. Poste-rior urethral valves,urethral atresia,and prune - belly syndrome are the frequently reported causes of lower urinary tract obstruction. Despite the completion of a randomized trial,the benefit of prenatal intervention with vesicoamniotic shunt placement remains unclear. The management of these disease in fetus and newborns requires appropriate urinary tract decompression,subspecially support,and definitive diagnosis with endoscopy and radiography. Now,the recent progress of diagnosis and treatment of congenital lower urinary tract obstruction were reviewed.

Changes in intracellular Ca2 + in the ureter smooth muscle cells of rats with neuropathic urinary tract dysfunction and its significance / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Objective To investigate the changes in intracellular Ca2+ in the ureter smooth muscle cells (USMC) of rats with neuropathic urinary tract dysfunction (NUTD) and their significance.Methods Forty-five rats were randomly and averagely divided into NUTD group,experimental control (EC) group and blank control (BC) group.The NUTD group was operated with a spinal cord transection at the first lumbar level and the sacral cord was destroyed;in EC group the spinal process was partly bitten at the same position,but the spinal cord was not transected;BC group was given no operations.One week later,the video-urodynamic was performed to observe the acontractile detrusor (ACD),vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and urinary tract dysfunction in rats among the NUTD group,EC group and the BC group.Video-urodynamic assessment was performed at the sixth week after operation.Ureter smooth muscle cells (USMC) were obtained by collagenase digestion.Intracellular Ca2 + in the USMC were observed by laser scanning confocal microscope.Then the effects of Bay K8644(10-8 mol/L,10-7 mol/L,10-6 mol/L) on cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations([Ca2+] i) in NUTD group were studied by calculating the fluorescence intensity.Results ACD and no detrusor overactivity were found in all rats in NUTD group and without vesicoureteral reflux.Immunofluorescence method confirmed that the cells were USMC.Compared with BC group (31.44 ± 2.82) and EC group (32.06 ± 3.67),the fluorescence intensity (FI) of intracellular Ca2 + in USMC was much lower in the NUTD group (9.80 ± 1.11),and there was significant difference(P ＜ 0.05).Bay K8644 (10-8 mol/L,10-7 mol/L,10-6 mol/L) increased the FI of [Ca2 +] i in a concentration-dependent manner,which were 3.80 ± 1.30,10.04 ± 2.15,19.89 ± 2.06,respectively,and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The decrease in Ca2 + concentration in the ureter smooth muscle cells may be one of the important factors for the primary ureteral dysfunction of NUTD.And calcium channel agonist can be meaningful for adjusting abnormal Ca2+ concentration in USMC of NUTD.

Clinical analysis of 18 adult patients with hemophagocytic syndrome / 肿瘤研究与临床

Objective To analyze the adult hemophagocytic syndrome' s pathogeny,clinical features,prognostic factors and therapeutic options.Methods 18 cases of adult hemophagocytic syndrome were analyzed,the Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to investigate the total survival rate,and 17 clinical pathological factors and clinical treatment methods which may influence survival were analyzed by Log-rank test in the univariate analysis.Results In this group of patients,EBV infection and malignant lymphoma were the most common initiating diseases.The most common clinical features were peripheral cytopenia in two or three lineages (100 ％),fever (83 ％),splenomegaly (78 ％),swollen lymph nodes (56 ％).The mortality rates as high as 66.7 ％.The median survival time was 7.4 weeks.One-way ANOVA results showed that the initial symptoms as fever (P =0.039),age ＞ 30 years old (P =0.031),enlargement of the liver (P =0.041),Hb ＜ 100 g/L and Ph ＜ 50 g/L (P =0.039) were relevant prognostic factors.Conclusion Adult hemophagocytic syndrome patients with fever as the initial symptoms,age ＞ 30 years old,liver enlargement,Hb ＜ 100 g/L,Plt ＜ 50 g/L indicates poor prognosis,thus these patients having HPS risk factors should be given active chemotherapy and supportive therapy.

The effect of cobalt chloride on adenovirus gene expression / 肿瘤

Objective: To investigate the effect of cobalt chloride (CoCl2) on transgene expression and viral particle titers in tumor cells infected by conditionally replicating adenovirus expression vector with hypoxia response elements(HRE)-regulated E1AE1B expression (Ad-5HRE-E1AE1B-RFP) and non-HRE regulated replication-deficient adenovirus expression vector (Ad-EGFP, Ad-Luc) in vitro and in vivo. Methods: Ad-5HRE-E1AE1B-RFP had five duplicated HRE and mini CMV acted as a promoter to drive E1AE1B expression and constitutive expression of RFP as reporter. The hypoxia model was optimized by exposing tumor cells to different concentrations of CoCl2. The hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) protein expression was determined by Western blotting. Under the optimized hypoxia model, the positive expression of exogenous gene and virus replication of Ad-5HRE-E1AE1B-RFP or Ad-EGFP-infected tumor cells were examined by conversed microscopic observation, FACS analysis and plaques formation test. Furthermore, transgene expression induced by combined application of hypoxia-inducible replicative adenovirus and replication deficient adenovirus (Ad-Luc) was also evaluated by examining the lucifererse activity in xenografted tumor models in nude mice by micro PET. Results: Western blotting results showed that CoCl2 at 0.4 and 0.08 μg/mL could stabilize and acumulate HIF-1α protein in gastric cancer SGC7901 cells, which could better mimic hypoxia condition. The microscopic observation and FACS analysis showed that CoCl2 at 0.4 μg/mL could remarkably increase the transduction efficacy of Ad-5HRE-E1AE1B-RFP, which was verified by significant increase in the percentage of positive expression of exogenous gene RFP and fluorescence intensity. But plaques formation test showed that Ad-5HRE-E1AE1B-RFP had no replication. CoCl2 0.4 μg/mL augmented the tranduction efficacy and expression levels of non-HRE regulated replication deficient adenovirus Ad-EGFP and Ad-Luc. Combined intratumoral injection of Ad-5HRE-E1AE1B-RFP and Ad-Luc significantly increased the expression of Ad-Luc in nude mice.Conclusion: CoCl2 markedly enhances transgene expression of recombinant adenovirus. However, the underlying mechanism is not only related to the CoCl2-induced hypoxia, but also probably related to regulation of gene transcription.

BACKGROUND: Genetically engineered cells have been used in the replacement therapy and gene therapy. However, how to select proper donor cells, target cells, and corresponding viral vectors is the most difficult in the therapy.OBJECTIVE: To compare the transduction efficiency of recombinant adenovirus Ad5 and AdSF35, adeno-associated virus rAAV1/2 and rAAV2, and lentivirus LV in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and exogenous gene expression level so as to select the vectors, which can efficiently transduce BMSCs.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Gene engineering controlled observation, performed in the Central Laboratory, Shanghai First People's Hospital between October 2006 and March 2007.MATERIALS: Ten Sprague Dawley rats of clean grade were used to prepare BMSCs. All recombinant viral vectors carded enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) report gene. Ad5 was prepared by the Central Laboratory, Shanghai First People's Hospital. Ad5F35 was gifted by professor Qian Qi-jun from the Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. rAAV2 and rAAVI/2 were the products of Benyuan Zhengyang Gene Technique Co.,Ltd. LV was gifted by professor Cuo Li-be from Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and Cytobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.METHODS: Rat BMSCs were in vitro isolated and cultured by density gradient centrifugation. BMSCs of passage 4 were inoculated into 24-well plate at lxlO5/well. One day later, ceils adhered to the wall and allocated to 5 groups. Ad5-EGFP [10, 100,1 000 multiplicity of infection (MOI)], Ad5F35-EGFP (10,10, 1 000 MOI), rAAVI/2-EGFP (1×104,1x10× vg), rAAV2-EGFP(1×104, 1x105vg), and LV-EGFP (30 TU) were respectively added into the 5 groups. BMSCs were transduced for 2 days with Ad virus and separately for 6 days with rAAV and LV virus.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: EGFP-positive expression and fluorescence intensity.RESULTS: After twenty-four hours of Ad5-EGFP transduction, EGFP-positive cells were visible under the microscope. With virus dose increasing, EGFP-positive cells increased and fluorescence intensity strengthened. Twelve days later, EGFP-positive cells gradually reduced and fluorescence intensity weakened. For Ad5F35-EGFP, its transduction was basically similar to Ad5-EGFP, but EGFP-positive cell number and fluorescence intensity were increased. After 6 days of rAAV1/2-EGFP or rAAV2-EGFP transduction, EGFP-posidve cell number and fluorescence intensity were decreased. For LV-EGFP transduction, a small amount of EGFP-positive cells could be visible on the second day, and then EGFP-positive ceils and fluorescence intensity were gradually increased until the sixth day.CONCLUSION: Ad5, Ad5F35 and LV could effectively transduce BMSCs cultured in vitro and express exogenous gene.Furthermore, transduction efficiency was correlated with virus dose in dose-dependent manner, rAAVI/2 and rAAV2 had poor/in vitro transduction efficiency.
