Abstract
Previously, we identified by RNA sequencing that DDIT3, RPL23A, SESN2 and NR4A1 genes were significantly differentially expressed between the mammary glands of lactating Holstein cows with extremely high and low milk protein and fat percentages; thus, these four genes are considered as promising candidates potentially affecting milk yield and composition traits in dairy cattle. In the present study, we further verified whether these genes have genetic effects on milk traits in a Chinese Holstein population. By re-sequencing part of the non-coding and the entire coding regions of the DDIT3, RPL23A, SESN2 and NR4A1 genes, a total of 35 SNPs and three insertions/deletions were identified, of which three were found in DDIT3, 12 in RPL23A, 16 in SESN2 and seven in NR4A1. Moreover, two of the insertions/deletions-g.125714860_125714872del and g.125714806delinsCCCC in SESN2-were novel and have not been reported previously. Subsequent single SNP analyses revealed multiple significant association with all 35 SNPs and three indels regressed against the dairy production traits (P-value = <0.0001-0.0493). In addition, with a linkage disequilibrium analysis, we found one, one, three, and one haplotype blocks in the DDIT3, RPL23A, SESN2 and NR4A1 genes respectively. Haplotype-based association analyses revealed that some haplotypes were also significantly associated with milk production traits (P-value = <0.0001-0.0461). We also found that 12 SNPs and two indels (two in DDIT3, two in RPL23A, nine in SESN2 and one in NR4A1) altered the specific transcription factor binding sites in the promoter, thereby regulating promoter activity, suggesting that they might be promising potential functional variants for milk traits. In summary, our findings first determined the genetic associations of DDIT3, RPL23A, SESN2 and NR4A1 with milk yield and composition traits in dairy cattle and also suggested potentially causal variants, which require in-depth validation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify novel clinically relevant genes in papillary thyroid carcinoma from public databases. METHODS Four original microarray datasets, GSE3678, GSE3467, GSE33630 and GSE58545, were downloaded. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were filtered from integrated data. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed, followed by protein-protein interaction (PPI) network construction. The CentiScape pug-in was performed to scale degree. The genes at the top of the degree distribution (≥ 95% percentile) in the significantly perturbed networks were defined as central genes. UALCAN and The Cancer Genome Atlas Clinical Explorer were used to verify clinically relevant genes and perform survival analysis. RESULT 225 commonly changed DEGs (111 up-regulated and 114 down-regulated) were identified. The DEGs were classified into three groups by GO terms. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed DEGs mainly enriched in the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, pathways in cancer, focal adhesion and proteoglycans in cancer. DEGs' protein-protein interaction (PPI) network complex was developed; six central genes (BCL2, CCND1, FN1, IRS1, COL1A1, CXCL12) were identified. Among them, BCL2, CCND1 and COL1A1 were identified as clinically relevant genes. CONCLUSION BCL2, CCND1 and COL1A1 may be key genes for papillary thyroid carcinoma. Further molecular biological experiments are required to confirm the function of the identified genes.

Abstract
Previously, we re-sequenced the whole genomes of eight Holstein bulls with high or low milk protein and fat percentage, and we detected two indels in the ACACB (acetyl-CoA carboxylase beta) gene that were polymorphic between the two groups. Thus, we considered ACACB as a promising candidate gene potentially affecting milk composition traits. Herein, we verified the genetic effects of ACACB on five milk traits in a Chinese Holstein population. We identified six SNPs in the 5'-promoter region, five in the 5'- untranslated region (UTR), 11 in exons, four in the 3'-UTR and three in the 3'-flanking region by re-sequencing the entire coding and regulatory regions of ACACB. One of these SNPs (ss1987461005) is reported here for the first time, and three of the SNPs (rs109482081, rs110819816 and rs109281947) were predicted to result in amino acid replacements. Genotype-phenotype association analyses showed that all the identified SNPs, except for ss1987461005, rs208919019 and rs134447911, were significantly associated with milk yield, fat yield, fat percentage, protein yield or protein percentage (P < 0.0001 to 0.0484). Linkage disequilibrium analyses were conducted among the identified SNPs to confirm the genetic associations. Two SNPs-rs135874354 (g.66218726T>C) and rs210928430 (g.66218117G>A)-were predicted to alter transcription factor binding sites in the 5'-promoter region of ACACB. A luciferase activity assay showed that the promoter activity of haplotype TG was significantly higher than that of CG (P = 0.0002) and that the promoter activity of haplotype TA was remarkably higher than that of CA (P = 7.4285E-09), showing that the T allele of rs135874354 increased promoter activity. Thus, rs135874354 was considered to be a potentially functional mutation. Our findings have, for the first time, profiled the genetic effect of ACACB on milk production traits in dairy cattle and revealed a potentially causal mutation that requires further the in-depth validation.

Abstract
Objective: To estimate the immune response of HepG2/dendritic cell (DC) fusion cells vaccines against HepG2 cells in vitro. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from healthy donors by Ficoll-Hypaque density-gradient centrifugation.Then DC were obtain from PBMCs by culturing in medium containing granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) for 5 days.DC and HepG2 fusion cells were induced by polythyleneglycol (PEG). The fusion cells were examined under fluorescence microscope by labeling DCs and HepG2 with green and red fluorescein, respectively, and then the fusion rates were analyzed by flow cytometry.The capacity of fusion cells to secrete interleukin (IL)-12 and stimulate the proliferation of T lymphocyte was assessed by ELISA and Flow cytometry, respectively.ELISPOT was used to assess the interferon gamma (IFN-γ) produced by cytotoxicity T lymphocyte (CTL), and the specific killing ability of fusion cells induce-CTL targeting HepG2 was estimated. Results: The fusion rate of HepG2/DC was 54.5%, and the fusion cells expressed a higher levels of DC mature marker CD80 and costimulatory molecules CD83, CD86 and MHC-Ⅰ, MHC-Ⅱ molecules HLA-ABC and HLA-DR than those in immature DCs (P<0.01). HepG2/DC showed a greater capacity to secrete high level of IL-12 (P<0.05) and activate proliferation of lymphocytes in vitro, as compared with DCs alone and DCs mix HepG2 (P<0.01). The HepG2/DC -activated CTL generated higher IFN-γ level and had a specific killing ability against HepG2 cells at the effecter/target ratio 30∶1 (31.4%±2.4%) and 100∶1 (57.6%±7.3%) (P<0.01). Conclusions: HepG2/DC fusion cells could efficiently stimulate T lymphocytes to generate specific CTL targeting HepG2 cells.It might be a promising strategy of immunotherapy for HCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Little research has been done into the distance travelled by consumers to purchase alcohol, whether this is influenced by demographic characteristics or drinking levels of consumers, and the effect of price on purchase distance. This study aimed to explore distances drinkers were prepared to travel to purchase alcohol at on- and off-site outlets and how these decisions were affected by price discounting. STUDY DESIGN Online survey. METHODS The study, including 831 alcohol consumers aged 18 years and older living in Australian capital cities, was undertaken in 2012. The survey was used to gather data on the distances which participants anticipated that they usually travelled to purchase alcohol. The data provided insight into which factors influence where participants would choose to purchase alcohol and the possible effects of price discounts on purchase distance. RESULTS Most participants would choose to travel less than 10 km to purchase alcohol. Data indicated that price discounting might increase the purchase distance that most participants would be prepared to travel to purchase alcohol; this was more marked regarding off-site outlets and among high-risk drinking groups including young males and participants with risky drinking levels. CONCLUSIONS Price discounting affects hypothetical purchase distance choices, indicating the importance of price when implementing alcohol control policies. Purchase distance might be more affected by price discounting among consumers visiting off-site outlets, but less useful when exploring associations with on-site outlets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Snap freezing and RNAlater stabilization are methods that were wildly used in biospecimen depositories to preserve cancer tissues. Both methods have its own limitations. An ideal method for preservation of diseased tissues should permit the broader uses of stored tissue samples, including not just for molecular diagnostic analysis, histopathological evaluation, but also for the recovery of functional live cells and tissues as well as the regeneration of patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models for the drug screening study. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study investigated molecular and pathological evaluation of cryopreserved colorectal cancer tissues, with an emphasis on effects of freezing method and cryoprotection. Global gene expression analysis with microarrays and histological examination of tissue samples were performed to compare tissue specimens after snap freezing, cryoprotectant permeation and subsequent cryopreservation. RESULTS Compared with the fresh tissue samples (immediately stabilized in RNAlater after collection), samples preserved by snap freezing exhibited the largest number of differentially-expressed genes. Some genes relate to neuron, drug addiction and drug binding, but the rest of differentially-expressed genes were functionally dispersive. Cryoprotectant permeation into tissue samples and subsequent cryopreservation via a rate-controlled freezing resulted in much less differentially expressed genes. Histological structures of tissue specimens were both well preserved by snap freezing and cryoproservation. CONCLUSION Snap freezing may not be as reliable as commonly considered. The pilot study demonstrates the feasibility of using cryopreservation to retain viable diseased tissues for multiple applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hypertension is a common disorder related to cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Identification of genetic variations related to hypertension may advance our knowledge of the molecular mechanism underlying blood pressure regulation. Here, we aimed to investigate the associations between ABCB1 gene polymorphisms and hypertension-related traits in 1154 Han Chinese subjects. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 13 SNPs in ABCB1 were genotyped. RESULTS Three SNPs were significantly associated with systolic blood pressure (SBP), including rs17327624 (p = 6.167 × 10-4, beta = 5.650), rs3789243 (p = 4.331 × 10-3, beta = 2.800), and rs4148734 (p = 3.514 × 10-3, beta = 3.692). Rs17327624 (p = 2.818 × 10-4, beta = 2.753) and rs3789243 (p = 6.345 × 10-3, beta = 1.497) were significantly associated with diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and rs17327624 was significantly associated with hypertension (p = 1.746 × 10-4, OR = 1.605). These three SNPs (rs17327624, rs3789243 and rs4148734) were also associated with hypertension in female subjects but no significant signal was detected in males. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that ABCB1 polymorphisms may contribute to the blood pressure variation in Han Chinese population and the effect may be specific in females. Further studies performed in other populations are needed to confirm our findings and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alcohol use disorders are risk factors for almost all health conditions due to heavy alcohol use. The epidemiology of alcohol use disorders can be used to monitor harm from heavy alcohol consumption. AIM To estimate changes in the risk of alcohol use disorders over the last two decades among the Western Australian adult population. METHODS This population-based cohort study used hospital separation records for Western Australian residents aged 18 years and older that occurred between 1990 and 2013 with a primary diagnosis of alcohol use disorder and annual estimated residential population to estimate the annual gender- and age-specific incidence rate. A random sample of emergency presentations to public hospitals in Western Australia between 2002 and 2013 was used to account for confounding effects, such as changes in patient access to medical care and overall improvement in healthcare service in the multivariable Poisson regression model. RESULTS The risk of alcohol use disorder hospitalisations among the Western Australia population has increased considerably since 1998 with a decline in 2012 and 2013. The average rate remained significantly higher from 2010 to 2013 compared with previous years. CONCLUSIONS The trend of alcohol use disorder hospitalisations is indicative of an increase in harm due to heavy alcohol use in the population.
