A theory of bio-quantum genetics is established in this paper. Principle of Bio-quantum Genetics is suggested. I propose and define the soft-genes of genetics controlling the processes of heredity or inheritance of genes. This research deals with the quantum mechanisms of Mendel plant heredity and family inheritance as examples of bio-quantum genetics, deepening our understanding of heredity or inheritance. I believe that more contributions will be made to promote researches of bio-quantum genetics or quantum biology at large.展开更多

The current methods of the pertinent studies are not precise and sensitive. The present study was to use liver cancer cell line to explore the bio-compatibility and cytotoxicity of ternary quantum dots(QDs) probe and to evaluate the possible application of QDs in HCC.METHODS: CuInS_2-ZnS-AFP fluorescence probe was designed and synthesized to label the liver cancer cell HepG 2. The cytotoxicity of CuInS_2-ZnS-AFP probe was evaluated by MTT experiments and flow cytometry. RESULTS: The labeling experiments indicated that CuInS_2-ZnS QDs conjugated with AFP antibody could enter HepG 2 cells effectively and emit intensive yellow fluorescence by ultraviolet excitation without changing cellular morphology. Toxicity tests suggested that the cytotoxicity of CuInS_2-ZnS-AFP probe was significantly lower than that of CdT e-ZnS-AFP probe(t test, F=0.8, T=-69.326, P〈0.001). For CuInS_2-ZnS-AFP probe, timeeffect relationship was presented in intermediate concentration(〉20%) groups(P〈0.05) and dose-effect relationship was presented in almost all of the groups(P〈0.05). CONCLUSION: CuInS_2-ZnS-AFP QDs probe had better biocompatibility and lower cytotoxicity compared with CdT e-ZnS-AFP probe, and could be used for imaging the living cells in vitro.展开更多
