Objective: To observe the effect of Van-Clear on vamplification of human telomerase RNA component (hTERC) gene in cervical tissues by fluorescence in situ hybridization, and to determine the potential for Van-Clear to replace xylene.
Methods: A total of 278 specimens of cervix uteri were collected from inpatients of Department of Gynaecology in Boai Hospital of Zhongshan from January to February, 2015, with 81 cases of normal specimens, 68 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) I, 57cases of CIN2, 42 cases of CIN3 and 30 cases of cervical invasive cancer. Double samples were collected from the same region. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was applied to detect the changes in the amplification of hTERC gene in 2 groups of specimens from the cervical biopsy.
Results: Differences in the positive expression rate of hTERC gene between the 2 groups of cervical lesions at all levels were not statistically significant (P>0.05).
Conclusion: There is no significant difference in the positive rate of hTERC gene expression between the slices made by Van-clear and xylene. As an environmental-friend product, Van-Clear possesses certain value in detection of cervical hTERC gene by fluorescence in situ hybridization.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis as the initial manifestation of bone marrow failure in a child with a TERC variant telomere biology disorder.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening systemic hyperinflammatory syndrome, rarely associated with bone marrow failure (BMF). Telomere biology disorders (TBD) are caused by inherited defects in telomerase processes and can have heterogeneous presentations including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cirrhosis, and BMF. We report a case of a 10-year-old male from Lima, Peru, who presented with HLH as the initial manifestation of a TBD.

An increasing number of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) have been linked to tumorigenesis. In this study, we used Mendelian randomization (MR) to identify a novel cancer susceptibility gene, Trimethylguanosine Synthase 1 (TGS1). TGS1-induced hypermethylation at the 5' end of human telomerase RNA (hTR) impedes hTR accumulation, decreasing telomerase assembly factor levels and thus limiting telomere elongation, a crucial factor in tumor progression.

Article Synopsis
- Aplastic anemia (AA) is a condition that leads to low blood cell counts and is linked to issues with telomeres, which are protective caps on chromosomes.
- A study of eleven AA patients between ages one and twelve revealed clinical symptoms like upper limb anomalies and short stature, alongside significantly shorter telomere lengths compared to healthy peers.
- The research indicates that the telomere maintenance pathway is compromised in these patients, with treatments involving androgen and prednisolone reducing the levels of TERRA, suggesting a connection between telomere dysfunction and AA in younger patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between telomere length (TL) and peripartum depression (PPD), examining how adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and genetic variations affect this relationship.
- Results indicate that shorter TL is associated with more severe PPD symptoms, particularly at pregnancy week 32 and six weeks postpartum, highlighting a potential biological marker for understanding PPD.
- ACE plays a significant role in moderating the TL-PPD connection, with individuals experiencing greater ACE showing a more pronounced shortening of TL in persistent PPD cases compared to healthy controls.

Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 68 CRC patients found that TERRA expression is correlated with certain gene expressions related to cell proliferation and cancer progression, indicating its relationship with patient outcomes.
- * The research suggests that high TERRA levels may lead to better survival rates in CRC patients and demonstrates that TERRA can inhibit tumor growth in SCID mice, highlighting its therapeutic potential.
