Objective To clarify the role of sexual related Y (SRY) gene detection in the diagnosis of gonadal *** Sixteen cases of gonadal dysgenesis were included in this study: 5 with androgen insensitivity syndrome, 1 with 17-α-hydroxylase deficiency, 4 with true hermaphrodite, 2 with 45,X/46,XY gonadal dysgenesis, 1 with 45,X gonadal dysgenesis, 1 with XY pure gonadal dysgenesis, 1 with testicular regression, and 1 XY female who gave birth to a normal baby. SRY gene was detected by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in blood and gonad samples and by direct sequencing of the SRY *** Among the 16 cases, 15 were blood SRY positive, among which 13 (86.7%) showed the presence of testicular tissue, and 2 showed ovaries without testicular tissue. One SRY negative case showed the presence of testicular tissue. In 3 cases, SRY detection in gonadal tissue correlated with pathological findings but not with blood karyotype. The correlation between peripheral blood SRY and the pathology of the gonads was 81.25% and the correlation between the presence of peripheral blood Y chromosome and pathology of the gonads was 68.75%. Sequencing of the SRY motif in an XY female who gave birth to a normal baby showed no *** SRY detection is more sensitive and specific than blood karyotype in the prediction of the presence of testicular tissue. Peripheral blood karyotype does not necessarily reflect gonadal type. There may be testicular related factors other than the SRY gene.

Objective To determine the prevalence of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) DNA in acute leukemia (AL) patients. Methods The presence of HHV-8 DNA sequences in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMC) from 50 AL patients was examined using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Nine human hematopoietic cell lines and PBMC from 30 normal donors were also included. Results HHV-8 DNA sequences were detected in one case of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). The specimens from the bone marrow aspirate, peripheral blood and serum of this patient were all positive. None of the normal donors and human hematopoietic cell lines showed evidence of HHV-8 DNA. Conclusion The results suggest that the prevalence of HHV-8 is low in AL in China.

Objective To investigate the effect of multidrug resistance gene 1 (mdr1) antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) on reversing multidrug resistance in the drug resistant ovarian carcinoma cell line SKOV3/mdr1. Methods The ovarian carcinoma cell line SKOV3 transducted with a human multidrug resistance gene (mdr1) served as the drug resistant model (SKOV3/mdr1). The mdr1 antisense ODNs was transfected into SKOV3/mdr1 cells while mediated by lipofectamine. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to measure the expression and the amount of the mdr1 mRNA in the cells. The positive rate and function of the mdr1 gene product P-glycoprotein (Pgp) in the mdr1 antisense ODNs treated SKOV3/mdr1 cells were determined by flow cytometry and rhodamine 123 efflux. Drug resistance in the SKOV3/mdr1 cell line was observed by MTT assay and cell colony culture. Results The mdr1 mRNA level was decreased to about 60% of that of β-actin after mdr1 antisense ODNs treatment. The Pgp positive rate of mdr1 antisense ODNs treated SKOV3/mdr1 cells decreased from 100% to 52.6% (P<0.01). The intracellular rhodamine 123 retention was increased from 9.1% to 33.8% (P<0.01). The chemoresistance to taxol decreased to 58% of SKOV3/mdr1 with mdr1 antisense ODN treatment. Compared with SKOV3/mdr1 cells in the control group, under a certain range of drug concentrations, the number of drug resistance colonies in mdr1 antisense ODNs treated SKOV3/mdr1 cells for taxol and doxorubicin decreased by 8.6±0.8 fold and 3.1±0.6 fold, respectively. Some non-specific functions during oligodeoxyncleotide treatment was also detected. Conclusion mdr1 expression in the SKOV1/mdr1 cell line was partially inhibited after mdr1 antisense ODNs treatment at the mRNA and protein level, increasing the chemotherapy sensitivity of this drug resistant ovarian carcinoma cell line.
