Objective To investigate the relationship of plasma homocysteine with the genotype distribution of MTHFR and MTRR among Chinese Han women in Xiangtan. Methods MTHFR C677T, A1298C and MTRR A66G geno?typing was analyzed to detect the distribution of gene polymorphisms among 1 701 women from Xiangtan city then the data were compared with the rest of the Han women in Zibo, Zhengzhou, Yantai, Zhenjiang, Songzi, Huizhou, Qionghai. Plasma Hcy levels from 110 patients were measured and analyzed the correlation with gene polymorphisms. Results The frequency of MTHFR C677T genotype and allele frequencies in Xiangtan is 12.6%which is higher than Huizhou (10.9%) and Qionghai (6.1%) but lower than Zibo (43.6%), Zhengzhou (36.8%), Yantai (32.2%), Zhenjiang (21.8%) with statistically significant dif?ference (P<0.05). There is no significant different in MTHFR C677T between Xiangtan and Songzi. The frequency of MTH?FR A1298C genotype and allele frequencies in Xiangtan is 4.8%which is lower than Qionghai(7.1%)but higher than Zibo (1.4%),Zhengzhou(2.4%), Yantai(1.8%), Zhenjiang(3.5%)and Songzi(2.6%)with statistically significant difference. The frenquency of MTRR A66G genotype and allele frequencies in Xiangtan is 6.8%which is higher than Zibo (4.8%) but lower than Qionghai (9.3%) with statistically signifcant difference. Plasma Hcy concentration correlate with MTHFR C677T, Hcy concentration in TT population is higher than that in CT and CC population(μmol/L:8.52±2.01 vs 5.94±1.47 vs 5.71± 0.18);Plasma Hcy concentration also correlate with MTHFR A1298C and Hcy concentration in CC population is higher than AA and AC population(μmol/L:9.83 ± 2.26 vs 6.35 ± 2.13 vs 5.55 ± 1.75);Plasma Hcy concentration does not correlate with MTRR A66G. Conclusion The gene polymorphism of MTHFR C677T, A1298C and MTRR A66G among the Han women in Xiangtan was statistically different from other selected regions of China. Mutation in MTHFR C 677T and A1298C were associated with elevated plasma levels of Hcy.

Expressions of p75NTR, Bax and Bcl-2 and cell apoptosis in rat cortical neurons following mechanical injury / 中华创伤杂志

ObjectiveTo study the expressions of p75NTR,Bax and Bcl-2 and cell apoptosis in rat cortical neurons following mechanical injury and discuss the mechanism and mutual action way during the apoptosis of rat neurons after mechanical injury.Methods Cortical neuron cultures were prepared from the brain tissues of day 17 rat embryos and were exposed to mechanical injury seven days after seeding.After the traumatic neuron injury models were created,the apoptosis ratio of neurons was tested at several time points.The models were divided into the minor,moderate,severe injury groups according to the injury severity and the control group.The expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 in each group were detected by immunohistochemistry method and that of p75NTR by Western-blot.Combining with cellular apoptosis ratio in each group shown after FCM analysis,the correlation between the expressions of p75NTR,Bax and Bcl-2 and the apoptosis in rat neurons after mechanical injury could be analyzed.ResultsThe apoptosis ratio of the neurons in all the injury groups was obviously higher than that in the control group,with significantly higher apoptosis ratio of the neurons in the severe injury group than the minor and moderate injury groups (P ＜0.05).P75NTR,Bax and Bcl-2 were all expressed in all the injury groups,with statistical differences between groups.The expression of Bax in the severe injury group was significantly higher than that in the minor and moderate injury groups(P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusions p75NTR expression and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio are closely correlated with neuron apoptosis.The early expression of p75NTR may be one of mechnisms for neuronal apoptosis after neuron injury,when Bax and Bcl-2 may be involved.

Applicatioin of micro-screw for mandibular incisors intrusion: a clinical and cephalometric study / 中华医学美学美容杂志

Objective To evaluate the effects of micro-screw on the intrusion of lower incisors and the leveling of curve of Spee in the process of orthotherapy.Methods Fifteen patients (5 males,10 females) with deep-bite were selected,aged from 11.3 to 28.8 years,with average of 17.2 years.All of them were Angle Class Ⅱ Classification 1 malocclusion and had a curve of Spee larger than 3 mm.Orthotherapy of extraction was adopted for the first premolars of two upper mandible and second premolars of two lower mandible.All these patients had micro-screws implanted at root apex area between lower lateral incisor and canine bilaterally,and when the 0.457 mm× 0.635 mm (0.018 in ×0.025 in) Ni-Tisquare wire was internalized,the strength of intrusion from micro-screws was used.Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken before loading the micro-screw and immediately when the curve of Spee was leveled.Two linear and two angular measurements were selected for cephalometric analysis.Results The following results were noted: the lower incisors were significantly intruded for a mean of (4.10±0.98) mm; the mandibular molars were not significantly extruded for a mean of (0.91±0.69) mm; some lower incisors proclined and some lower incisors retroclined for a mean of (-0.09±4.12)°.After bite opening,the mandibular plane angle was minimally altered for a mean of (0.25±0.70)°; the ratio of lower incisor intrusioin to lower molar extrusion was 4.5: 1.0.Conclusions The combined use of micro screw with Ni-Ti wire is capable of enhancing the intrusion of lower incisors and leveling the curve of Spee,and it has minimal side effects on the posterior teeth.

(2009ZC116M).Relationship of biomaterials related infections and transforming growth factor levels in the peripheral blood of lung cancer patients / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: Permanent or transient implantation of biomaterials can result in biomaterials-centered infections (BCI) in lung cancer patients.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between BCI and peripheral blood transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) in patients with lung cancer.METHODS: A total of 248 lung cancer patients undergoing in vivo intravascular catheter indwelling > 7 days were included.Quantitative method was used for intubation, bacteriological culture and paired blood culture, and API Staph strips were adopted for positive patients. While enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect TGF-β1 levels in the peripheral blood of patients with lung cancer and 75 healthy volunteers as normal controls.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Among the 248 patients, there were 82 BCI-positive cases, and 166 BCI-negative cases.Thirteen patients were confirmed to have catheter-related bloodstream infection. There were 48 Gram-positive bacteria, 24Gram-negative bacilli, and 10 fungal. The levels of TGF-β1 were higher in BCI-positive patients than BCI-negative patients (P < 0.05); the levels of TGF-β1 in the BCI-negative group were higher than those in the normal control group (P < 0.05). For lung cancer patients with nosocomial infection induced BCI, there are various species of pathogenic bacteria, and Gram-positive bacteria are more common. To detect TGF-β1 levels in patients with lung cancer is of significance for early prevention of BCI.
