Genetic polymorphism at 15 tetrameric short tandem repeat loci in four aboriginal tribal populations of Bengal

POPULATIONS: This study reports the genetic polymorphism observed at 15 short tandem repeat loci D3S1358, TH01, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, D16S539, CSF1PO, vWA, D8S1179, TPOX, D2S1338, D19S433, and FGA in four aboriginal populations of Bengal. The analysis was performed to decipher the suitability of CODIS as well as six other highly polymorphic and unlinked markers in Forensic Testing. Studied populations include four tribes: Karmali, Kora, Maheli, and Lodha.     

“9＋2”与“10＋1”框架机制比较

中国—东盟的全面经济合作,是应经济全球化而产生的国际区域合作的又一新的成果,其“合作框架协议”是最基本的法制依据。而我国南方九省区加上香港、澳门两地的“泛珠三角区域合作”则是在一个国家之内,“一国两制”之下不同省区横向合作的机制创新,它不仅受到了国际区域经济合作创新的启示,而且顺应了整个社会区域整体发展的潮流。本文将在二者的实施框架机制方面进行一定的比较,欲为“泛珠三角区域合作”的法制建构献可替否。     

H2O2诱导PC12细胞凋亡前后miRNA的变化及探讨

目的用微小RNA(miRNA)基因芯片技术检测H2O2诱导凋亡的PC12细胞和正常PC12细胞miR-NA的表达谱差异。方法分别以不同浓度的H2O2处理PC12细胞12h,用MTT和流式细胞仪检测处理后细胞的生长活力和凋亡情况;分别提取A(0浓度H2O2处理组)和B(400nmol/LH2O2处理组)PC12细胞的miRNA做miRNA基因芯片检测。结果以A组作为对照,30、50、100、200、400nmol/L的H2O2处理的PC12细胞生存率分别为(92±9.80)%、(90±14.70)%、(80±13.85)%、(54±12.33)%、(22±7.35)%(P<0.01);0、30、50、100、200和400nmol/L的H2O2处理的PC12细胞早期凋亡率分别为2.6%、5.2%、7.2%、10.4%、16.6%、72.2%;在样品A中共筛选出68个有效表达的miRNA分子数据,在样品B中筛选出46个有效表达的miRNA分子数据,两者样品中均检测到有效表达的miRNA分子有39个,其中与样品A相比,在样品B中显著性下调表达的有6个。结论为脑缺血再灌注损伤中神经细胞凋亡的机制和治疗的研究提供了理论依据和新的研究思路。     

二醋吗啡对大鼠心肌细胞游离Ca^2＋浓度的作用

目的观察二醋吗啡对心肌细胞内游离Ca2 浓度的作用。方法取自1～3d的SD大鼠培养的心肌细胞,用荧光探针Fluo-3/AM负载心肌细胞,不同浓度及不同剂量的二醋吗啡作用心肌细胞,激光共聚焦显微镜下检测Ca2 的变化。结果不同剂量及浓度的二醋吗啡对心肌细胞内游离Ca2 浓度有不同作用,一定浓度的二醋吗啡使心肌细胞内游离Ca2 浓度呈剂量依赖性的升高、短时间内心肌细胞[Ca2 ]i荧光强度增强,并产生[Ca2 ]i峰。结论探索出二醋吗啡导致心肌细胞内Ca2 变化的有效浓度,为进一步深入研究打下了基础。     

Comparison of two methods for isolating DNA from human skeletal remains for STR analysis

Abstract: The quality and efficiency of a standard organic DNA isolation method and a silica‐based method using the QIAGEN Blood Maxi Kit were compared to obtain human DNA and short tandem repeats (STRs) profiles from 39 exhumed bone samples for paternity testing. DNA samples were quantified by real‐time PCR, and STR profiles were obtained using the AmpFlSTR^® Identifiler^® PCR amplification kit. Overall, the silica‐based method recovered less DNA ranging from 0 to 147.7 ng/g (average 7.57 ng/g, median = 1.3 ng/g) than did the organic method ranging from 0 to 605 ng/g (average 44.27 ng/g, median = 5.8 ng/g). Complete profiles (16/16 loci tested) were obtained from 37/39 samples (95%) using the organic method and from 9/39 samples (23%) with the silica‐based method. Compared with a standard organic DNA isolation method, our results indicate that the published silica‐based method does not improve neither the quality nor the quantity of DNA for STR profiling.     

Death Due to Complications of Anhidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia

Ectodermal dysplasia comprises a group of disorders affecting ectodermal tissues. Severity depends on the genetic aberration; hyperpyrexia secondary to absence of sweat glands is a common complication. Treatment is supportive. This case report describes a 1‐month, 27‐day‐old male infant with a diagnosis of X‐linked recessive anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. On the day of his death, his mother swaddled him in a blanket and placed him on the couch at 5:30 am. When she picked him up at 8:00 am, he was unresponsive. At the emergency department, his rectal temperature was 40°C. Postmortem blood culture was positive for group B streptococcus, a possible etiology for fever. It is vital to teach parents that close monitoring of children with ectodermal dysplasia is necessary, as an increase in body temperature can become life threatening.
