Nuclear DNA content was estimated by flow cytometry method using Gallus domesticus erythrocytes as the internal reference standard. The C-value of this species was (0.737±0.024) pg, and the DNA contents of each chromosome were estimated to be 16.51 Mb to 39.50 Mb after paired according to the average relative length. The FISH probe was made by PCR amplification of a DNA fragment containing internal transcribed spacers ITS1 between 18S and 5.8S ribosomal RNA gene, and labeled by PCR incorporation of bio-16-dUTP. FISH signals and AgNORs were both located on the secondary constrictions of chromosome 1. These results will provide a better understanding of the cytogenetic information of this species and would help for further research of the karyotype evolution in the order Pleuronectiformes.展开更多

According to day 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 10, 25, 35 and 50 after local testicular heating, every group was divided into 8 subgroups: experimental subgroups (n=6) and control subgroups (n=4). DNA contents of various types of germ cells were observed with flow cytometry (FCM) in all groups. Results Compared with control groups, percentages of 4C cell (primary spermatocyte) in 0.5-35 d groups and percentages of 1C cell (spermatid and sperm) in 6-50 d groups significantly decreased in experimental groups (P〈0.05), and percentages of 2C cell (spermatogonium and second spermatocyte) in 3 -35 d experimental groups increased significantly after heating (P〈0.05). 4C:2C in all of 8 experimental groups and 1C:2C in 3-35 d experimental groups were down (P〈0. 05), and in 1 d experimental group 1C:4C was up after heating (P〈0.05). Conclusions After being heated, the number of spermatocyte firstly decreased, and then that of spermatid and sperm decreased too. Heat influences several stages in spermatogenesis and results in suppression of spermatogenesis. Flow cytometry is an effective method for researching on the change of spermatogenesis and has significance on mechanism about changing of spermatogenic cells induced by heat.展开更多

The operating group was subdivided into six groups on the basis of killing time (the 12th h, the first day, 3rd day, first week, 2nd week and 4th week) after vagotomy (VG). The pancreatic tissues were taken for HE and Feulgen staining. The DNA content of pancreatic exocrine cells was determined by a domestically fabricated computer image analyzing system. In the control group, on the first day or in the first week after VG, the pancreatic samples were taken for transmission electron microscopic examination. The DNA content of pancreatic exocrinal cells was decreased from 1 to 3 days after VG. The secretion was found to be in inhibitory state and One week later, it gradually restored. The results indicated that the proliferation and the function of the SD rat's pancreatic exocrinal cells were prohibited at initial stage after VG, which might be concerned, at least in part, with dominance and nutrition of vagus.展开更多

Methods: 49 patients with pathologically confirmed gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma were randomized into test group (n=25) and control group (n=24). The test group started oral cimetidine intake 400 mg, tid, 7–10d before operation, followed by standard curative operation. The control group did not receive cimetidine. Tumor specimens were paraffin embedded for microsection and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and Feulgen stain. Morphometric studies and DNA content of tumor nuclei were performed on IBAS Image Analyzer. Results: The tumor cell nuclear area (μm2), nuclear perimeter (μm), maximal nuclear diameter (μ) for test group/control group were 23.54 5.08/34.69110.08 (P<0.001), 22.064.43/24.884.05 (P<0.05), 7.8411.64/ 8.6211.24 (P<0.05), 4.4210.61/5.4110.89 (P<0.001), Respectively. The percentages (%) of diploidy, triple-tetraploidy, quintuple ploidy, and >quintuple ploidy tumor cells for test group/control group were 16.6412.58/5.3312.14 (P<0.002), 39.8412.28/35.7013.58 (P>0.50), 12.4215.00/14.4810.74 (P>0.20), 31.1116.86/ 45.9713.82 (P<0.005), respectively. Conclusion: Perioperative administration of cimetidine in gasgtrointestinal cancer patients could decrease the nuclear size and raise the percentage of diploid tumor cells, and convert high aneuploid tumor cells into low-aneuploid tumor cells, which might help reduce the invasiveness of tumor cells.展开更多

The results indicated that in a portion of pleomorphic adenoma, the nuclear DNA content had altered and possessed malignant potential before any evidence of malignancy could be found under lightmicroscope. The increase of S% and PI, which followed the course of tumor development, has a close relation with the capsular invasion and the recurrence. There was a significant difference on the DI, S%, PI as well as the incidence of heteroploid between the recurrent and the incipient tumor. A great portion of recurrent tumors, which still diagnosed as benign pathologically, was acually heteroploid.展开更多

The percentage of 4n and 8n hepatocytes in the mononuclear hepatocyte population was compared with the percentage of 2 × 4n and 2 × 8n hepatocytes in the binuclear hepatocyte population. RESULTS: The percentages of 4n and 8n hepatocytes in mononuclear hepatocytes and 2 ×4n and 2 × 8n hepatocytes in binuclear hepatocytes were similar, regardless of the activity or fibrosis grade of chronic hepatitis and regardless of the infecting virus. CONCLUSION: The distribution of nuclear DNA content within mononuclear and binuclear hepatocyte populations was conserved during the course of chronic viral hepatitis.展开更多

The experimental rats were divided into 4 groups. With exception of group D in which the rats were only administered with DENA, the rats in the groups A, B, C were previously, simultaneously and subsequently fed with A L tonic capsule respectively while they were administered with DENA. The DNA content of all rat livers was measured using automatic image analysis technique 20 weeks after administration of DENA. The results showed that the highest and lowest DNA contents were respectively seen in the groups D and A. There was significant difference in DNA contents between the groups A or B or C and D, and also between the groups A and B or C (both P <0.01). 4 components (4C) and ≥5C cells were predominant in the group D, while 2C cells were the minority. The number of 2C cells in the groups A, B, C was significantly higher than that in the group D, and the number of ≥5C cells in the groups A, B, C was markedly lower than that in the group D ( P <0.01). Also, there was very significant difference in the number of 2C and ≥5C cells between group A and B or C ( P <0.01). It was concluded that A L tonic capsule could effectively inhibit the increase of DNA content of hepatocytes and improve the distribution of DNA content in rat hepatocarcinogenesis, especially in group A.展开更多

The results showed that in comparison with normal hepatocytes, LCD had a markedly increased DNA content and nuclear morphometric parameters, but the values were lower than those for HCC. LCD showed a slight increase in nuclear atypia represented by the nuclear irregular index, which was also less than HCC. The findings indicate that LCD may be a precaneerous lesion of HCC, to the cells in an abnormal proliferative state.展开更多

The mean DNA value increased steadily as follows: leiomyoma (14.39±0.62 Au); leiomyosarcoma Grade Ⅰ (19.78±2.39 Au); leiomyosarcoma Grade Ⅱ (26.39± 1.60 Au); leiomyosarcoma Grade Ⅲ (30.66±2.39 Au). The difference of DNA value in the 4 groups had statistical significance (p<0.05-0.01). These results suggest that microspectrophotometric measurement of nuclear DNA content may serve as an objective quantitative method for the diagnosis of GI tract smooth muscle tumors and classification of leiomyosarcoma.展开更多

One of the 5 benign (20%), 2 of the 11 borderline (18.18%), and 30 of the 57 malignant (52. 63%) tumors were aneuplold. The occurrence rate of aneuploidy In malignant tumors was higher than In benign and borderline tumors ( P < 0. 05 ). Furthermore, aneuploidy was more frequently In the advanced stages (Ⅲ -Ⅳ ) (77. 7%) than in the early stages (Ⅰ - Ⅱ ) (9. 5%) (P<0. 005). The occurrence rate of DNA aneuploidy was higher in patients associated with ascites and the residual tumor≥.2 cm. Patients with aneuploid tumors had more of ten ascites (P<0. 005) and residual tumor size≥2cm (P< 0.005). There was no apparent correlation between the DNA ptoidy and the histologic grade, histologic type of the tumors. G0/G1 cell proportion of DNA diplold tumors in advanced carcinoma (64. 6%) was less than those of early stage carcinoma (75. 9% ) (P<0. 05). The survival rate of diplold tumor patients was higher than that of aneuploid tumor patients in the different time after operation, and the median survival time was 30. 2 months and 10. 3 months, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that cellular DNA ploidy was the most Important predictive factor (P = 0. 007) of prognosis, followed by residual tumor size (P= 0. 05). Different tumor specimen of the same patient can exhibit variation sometime (38. 9%).The results revealed that the DNA ploidy may reflect tumor biological characteristics, I. e. , Its proliferative ability. Analysis of cellular DNA content of epithelial ovarian tumors would help us to predict the prognosis of the patients better.展开更多

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of various doses of non-ionizing radiation of magnetic field on date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) based on DNA content. Date palm seedlings (cv. Khalas) established for 2 weeks on filter paper were subjected to static magnetic field and alternating magnetic field. Static magnetic fields (SMF) were applied at 10, 50 and 100 mT for 30, 60, 120, 180, 240 and 360 min; while alternating magnetic field applied by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 1500 mT for 1, 5, 10 and 15 min. The seedlings were grown in potting soil following exposure for 4 weeks after which DNA was extracted from leaves and its content was determined. Generally, the exposure to magnetic field caused reduction in the content of DNA. The lowest exposure time tested, 30 rain, was sufficient to induce reduction in DNA content. This was true even at the lowest intensity, 10 mT. This dosage caused the DNA content to decrease from 49 ~tg/g to 45 pg/g. Further, increase of the exposure duration to 60 min caused significant reduction in the DNA content, 36 μg/g. At intensities higher than 10 mT, DNA content decreased significantly even at the shortest exposure of 30 min. At 50 and 100 mT, significant decrease in DNA content was also noticed in response to 30 min exposure; whereas the level of DNA increased after 1 min of MRI exposure to 52 ~g/g, then decreased after 5 min to 46 ~g/g. However, longer durations caused no further decrease in the DNA content. These observations indicate that magnetic fields interact with DNA processes, probably by inhibiting synthesis or stimulating degradation of DNA. This response merits further exploration as a mutational agent for date palm genetic manipulation.展开更多

文摘Fifty six SD rats were randomly divided into the normal control group and the operation group. The operating group was subdivided into six groups on the basis of killing time (the 12th h, the first day, 3rd day, first week, 2nd week and 4th week) after vagotomy (VG). The pancreatic tissues were taken for HE and Feulgen staining. The DNA content of pancreatic exocrine cells was determined by a domestically fabricated computer image analyzing system. In the control group, on the first day or in the first week after VG, the pancreatic samples were taken for transmission electron microscopic examination. The DNA content of pancreatic exocrinal cells was decreased from 1 to 3 days after VG. The secretion was found to be in inhibitory state and One week later, it gradually restored. The results indicated that the proliferation and the function of the SD rat's pancreatic exocrinal cells were prohibited at initial stage after VG, which might be concerned, at least in part, with dominance and nutrition of vagus.

文摘目的研究探讨乙肝孕妇大三阳和小三阳状态中乙型肝炎病毒(Hepatitis B virus,HBV)DNA载量、肝功能指标、肝纤维化标志物含量及不同HBVDNA载量孕妇的肝功能水平。方法选取临清市人民医院于2020年1月—2023年1月收治的120例乙肝孕妇作为研究对象,根据乙肝两对半检测结果将其分为两组,即大三阳组(n=60)和小三阳组(n=60)。比较两组HBVDNA载量、肝功能指标、肝纤维化标志物含量及不同HBVDNA载量孕妇的肝功能指标、肝纤维化标志物含量。结果大三阳组丙氨酸转移酶水平(29.00±7.62)U/L、HBVDNA水平(5.18±1.16)×10^(4)U/mL均高于小三阳组的(26.00±2.85)U/L、(2.08±1.11)×10^(4)U/mL,差异有统计学意义(t=2.856、14.956,P均<0.05)。大三阳组的重组人几丁质酶3样蛋白1水平低于小三阳组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。伴随着HBVDNA载量上升,两组患者甲胎蛋白水平随之增加,但是在同等HBADNA载量下,两组甲胎蛋白水平比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论开展孕前抗乙肝病毒诊疗、孕期风险系数评估,采取科学有效的干预措施,均能够有效抑制乙肝在母婴中的传播。
