ABSTRACT
The association of interleukin 6 receptor ( IL-6R ) gene - 183 A/G ( rs4845617 ) and Asp358 Ala (rs8192284 A/C) polymorphisms with metabolic syndrome was investigated in Chinese Han population.The result showed that the frequencies of AA genotype and A allele were higher in patients with metabolic syndrome ( MS ) than those in healthy subjects ( P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 ).The risk of MS in patients with A allele was 1.643 folds of that with allele C(95％ CI 1.163-2.320,P＜0.01 ).No differences were found in the genotype and allele frequencies of -183A/G between two groups ( P＞0.05 ).The Asp358Ala polymorphism of IL-6R was significantly associated with MS in Chinese Han population.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the effects of high glucose on human mesangial cells (HMC)Wnt-β-catenin signaling pathway,and the intervention of rhein on it.Methods High concentration of glucose (30 mmol/L) combined with different concentrations of rhein were used to intervene cultured human mesangial cells.The activity of mesangial cell proliferation after all the interventions was examined by MTT measurement.Total Wnt、β-catenin RNA was detected By RT-PCR in normal mesangial cells and cells intervened by high glucose and Rhein.Results ①Inhibition effect to human mesangial cells:compared with NG group for 24 h,48 h and 72 h (OD values were 0.169± 0.051,0.228±0.074,0.285±0.075),human mesangial cells proliferation in HG group(OD values were 0.307± 0.074,0.507 ±0.038,0.711±0.075),HG+R1 group(OD value were 0.241± 0.027,0.334±0.015,0.499±0.063),HG+R2 group (OD value were 0.244±0.081,0.386±0.033,0.531±0.011),and HG+R3 group(OD value were 0.277±0.036,0.407± 0.057,0.594±0.042) were iucreased significantly (P＜0.05、P＜0.01) ; Compared with HG group for 24 h,48 h and 72 h,the HG+R1 group,the HG+R2 group and the HG+ R3 group showed a downward trend at 24 h,but not significantly; but the trend decreased significantly at 48 h and 72 h,and the performance expressed a time,concentration-dependent (P＜0.05,P＜0.01).② In the normal state,the mesangial cells expressed s certain amount of Wnt and β-catenin,when they were stimulated by high glucose,the expression of Wnt、β-catenin in mRNA increased (P＜0.05) ; while the expression of them was significantly reduced in high glucose-induced mesangial cells in HG+R1 group,HG+R2 group and HG+R3 group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Rhein may inhibit the proliferation of high glucose-induced mesangial cells through the Wnt and β-catenin gene expression.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To study the pathogenic bacteria and its resistance to antibiotics in chronic suppurative otitis media. METHODS Secretion from 132 cases with chronic suppurative otitis media were cultured. Drug sensitivity tests were done to separate pathogenic bacteria. RESULTS 152 strains pathogenic bacteria were isolated from middle ear secretion. The main pathogenic bacteria were staphylococcus aureus (49 strains), pseudomonas aeruginosa (25 strains) and fungus (5 strains). Staphylococcus aureus was sensitive to fluorquinolones, and the sensitivity rate was 79.6 %. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was sensitive to fluoroquinolones and floxacin, and the sensitivity rates were 84 % and 64 %. CONCLUSION Staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa are main pathogens of chronic suppurative otitis media in our region. Both of them are sensitive to fluorquinolones. Meanwhile, pseudomonas aeruginosa is also sensitive to ceftazidime of the third cephalosporins. So doctors should choose the sensitive antibiotics for treatment of the chronic suppurative otitis media, that may avoid the bacteria with drug resistance come into being. The fungus can not be neglected as the pathogen in chronic suppurative otitis media.
