ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Interleukin-12 (IL-12) may function as an immune regulator in the pathogenesis of osteoarticular tuberculosis. OBJECTIVE:To explore the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in IL-12A rs568408 G/A and IL-12B rs3212227 A/C with susceptibility to osteoarticular tuberculosis and serum interleukin-12 levels in Guangxi Zhuang population. METHODS:The single-nucleotide polymorphisms in IL-12A rs568408 G/A and IL-12B rs3212227 A/C polymorphisms were detected by polymerase chain reaction-single base extension technique and direct DNA sequencing in 150 patients with osteoarticular tuberculosis (disease group) and 165 healthy individuals (control group) in Guangxi Zhuang population. The genotype and al ele frequencies of IL-12 and the relationship of genotypes to the susceptibility to osteoarticular tuberculosis were analyzed. In addition, the association of genotypes of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in IL-12A rs568408 G/A and IL-12B rs3212227 A/C with serum IL-12 levels were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no significant difference in the genotype and al ele frequencies of IL-12A rs568408 G/A and IL-12B rs3212227 A/C between the disease group and the control group (P>0.05). Moreover, there was no difference in four haplotypes of IL-12 gene between the disease group and the control group (P>0.05). Serum IL-12 levels in subjects with osteoarticular tuberculosis carrying the variant rs568408 GA/AA genotypes and wild-type rs568408 GG genotypes were similar (P>0.05). Similarly, there was no significant difference in serum IL-12 levels between subjects with osteoarticular tuberculosis carrying the variant rs3212227 AC/CC genotypes and wild-type rs3212227 AA genotypes (P>0.05). These findings suggest that the single-nucleotide polymorphisms in IL-12A rs568408 G/A and IL-12B rs3212227 A/C polymorphisms are not associated with susceptibility to osteoarticular tuberculosis in Guangxi Zhuang population.

ABSTRACT
Background and purpose:Colorectal cancer is a kind of common digestive malignancies, which seriously threaten the human health. Although modern diagnostic and treatment technology has developed rapidly, the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer continue to show an increasing tendency in recent years, and early diagnosis and prevention of colorectal cancer liver metastases are important to increase the survival rate of patients and to improve the prognosis. P-selectin and L-selectin is attracting much attention in cancer research ifeld recently, and the change of their expression and mediated adhesion play an important role in tumor cell metastasis, but their relationship between the occurrence and clinical stage of colorectal cancer rarely reported. This study aimed to explore whether the serum P-selectin and L-selectin levels of colorectal cancer patients were correlated with clinical and pathological features and the situation before and after surgery.Methods:A total number of 132 cases of colorectal cancer patients and 100 healthy subjects with gender and age-matched were enrolled. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect serum P-selectin and L-selectin concentrations in 132 cases before and after surgery, 100 healthy subjects were enrolled as the control group, the P-selectin and L-selectin levels were analyzed combined with theclinical and pathological features.Results:Serum P-selectin and L-selectin levels in patients with colorectal cancer before surgery were signiifcantly higher than those in the healthy control group (75.2±13.3vs 26.6±9.6, 89.2±12.7vs 33.9±8.3,P0.05); however, significantly decreased after 3 months (34.8±10.4vs 75.2±13.3, 40.1±9.5vs 89.2±12.7,P0.05).Conclusion:Serum P-selectin and L-selectin levels to some extent relfect the invasion of colorectal cancer, the degree of inifltration and lymph node metastasis, and which can be an important indicator in the development and prognosis of colorectal cancer.
