The novel three-way variant t(6;17;15)(p21;q21;q22) in acute promyelocytic leukemia with an FLT3-ITD mutation: A case report.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by the reciprocal translocation t(15;17)(q22;q21), resulting in the fusion of the promyelocytic leukemia gene at 15q22 with the retinoic acid receptor α at 17q21. Additionally, all patients with APL who have additional chromosome abnormalities (ACA) and gene mutations are resistant to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), the drug that causes disease regression specifically in patients with APL globally. The present study describes a case of a 19-year-old female with APL carrying a novel complex variant translocation t(6;17;15)(p21;q21;q22), add(7)(q32) and an FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) mutation.

Lnc RNA SNHG20 participated in proliferation, invasion, and migration of breast cancer cells via miR-495.

To explore the mechanism of lnc SNHG20 in the regulation of proliferation, invasion, and migration of breast cancer cells. mRNA levels of SNHG20, miR-495, and HER2 were detected by qRT-PCR. Protein level of HER2 was measured by Western blot.

[Genetic Analysis of A Case of Congenital Dysfibrinogenemia Caused by Arg16His Mutation in Exon 2 of FGA].

Objective: To analyze the phenotype and genotype of a family with congenital dysfibrinogenemia.

Methods: Assays of coagulation, including activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT), pro-thrombin time(PT)and thrombin time(TT) were carried out with Sysmex CA-7000 in the proband and his family members. The quality and quantity of fibrinogen in plasma were determined by Clauss and electrophoresis, respectively.

[The influence of microcystin-LR on monocytes and lymphocytes of mice].

Objective: To investigate the influence of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) on monocytes and lymphocytes in blood of mice and to find a sensitive index of toxic effects.

Methods: Specific pathogen free Kunming male mice, aging 1 month-old,were randomly divided into 5 groups by weights, 7 mice for each group. The mice in 5 groups were exposed to MC-LR through intraperitoneal injection at 0, 3.

[The establishment and application of the method with virus concentration and detection in drinking water].

Objective: This study aimed to construct an effective method to concentrate and detect virus in drinking water, and human adenovirus pollution status in actual water samples was monitored by constructed method.

Methods: The concentration efficient of NanoCeram filter for the first concentration with source water and drinking water and the concentration efficient of the different concentrations of PEG 8000 for the second concentration were assessed by spiking f₂ bacteriophage into water samples. The standard of human adenovirus for real-time PCR was constructed by T-A clone.

Real-time PCR detection of enteric viruses in source water and treated drinking water in Wuhan, China.

A total of 48 water samples were collected from six water treatment plants in Wuhan and analyzed by real-time PCR assay for viral identification of enterovirus (EV), rotavirus group A (RVA), human adenovirus (HAdV) as well as human adenovirus subgroup F (HAdVF) during the period from December 2010 to October 2011. HAdV, HAdVF, and RVA were all positively detected in the samples of source water and treated drinking water. EV could be found in 46 % (11/24) of all the source water samples, but only 21 % (5/24) positive in treated drinking water.
