ABSTRACT
Objective To detect the serum vitamin D levels in T2DM patients with retinopathy and to analyze the relevance to oxidative stress.Methods Totally 293 cases of T2DM were selected and they were divided into diabetic retinopathy (DR) group and non-diabetic retinopathy (NDR) group according to the results of fundus examination whether with or without DR.46 healthy volunteers were selected as control group (NC).The clinical information was collected,blood sugar such as fasting blood glucose (FBG),glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c),blood lipid index such as high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),serum 25-hydroxyl vitamin D3 (25 (OH)D3),oxidative stress indicators such as malondialdehyde (MDA),superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reduced glutathione (GSH) were detected.The correlation between 25 (OH)D3 and clinical data,blood glucose,blood lipids,oxidative stress indicators was analyzed.Results 25(OH)D3 of the 3 groups had significantly difference based on statistical analysis (P＜ 0.05).In details,the 25(OH)D3 in DR and NDR group were significantly lower than that in NC group,and 25(OH) D3 in DR group was significantly lower than that in NDR group,and the differences had statistical significance (P＜0.05).MDA,SOD,and GSH had significantly difference between the 3 groups (P＜0.05).In details,MDA in DR group and NDR group were significantly higher than that in NC group.SOD and GSH were significantly lower than those in NC group,while MDA in DR group was significantly higher than that in NDR group.SOD and GSH were significantly lower than those in NDR group.The differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Relevant analysis showed that 25 (OH)D3 was significantly positively related to HDL-C,SOD and GSH in DR patients,and was significantly negatively related to disease course,FBG,and MDA.Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that totally HDL-C (X1),SOD (X2),and MDA (X3)were included into the model.The regression equation was Y=15.434+0.261X 1 +0.078X2-0.121X3.Conclusion T2DM patients with retinopathy have the oxidative stress injury and their 25(OH)D3 declines,which may be involved in pathogenesis of DR by reciprocal causation.
ABSTRACT
by lfow cytometry. According to CAG morphology, the plaques included 3 types as Type I, Type II and TypeⅢ. The patients also received coronary CT angiography (CTA), upon CTA value, the plaques were classiifed by soft plaque, ifbrous plaque and calciifed plaque. Expressions of platelet surface EMMPRIN and GPVI among different groups were compared. Results:①Compared with Control group, ACS and SAP groups had increased expressions of EMMPRIN (5.82 ± 0.81 and 3.45 ± 0.48) vs (1.35 ± 0.15) and GPVI (16.22 ± 5.27 and 8.20 ± 2.87) vs (4.14 ±1.17); the expressions in ACS group were higher than those in SAP group, allP Conclusion: Expression levels of platelet surface EMMPRIN and GPVI were closely related to the stability of coronary plaque, both of them were the risk factors for severe coronary lesions. EMMPRIN and GPVI may have certain predictive value for early diagnosis of arteriosclerosis in ACS patients.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the published data on association between present/null polymorphism of glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) and breast cancer risk in Chinese population in order to abttain a more precise and comprehensive estimation of the relationship.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A meta-analysis was performed to investigate the association between GSTM1 polymorphism and susceptibility to breast cancer in Chinese population by searching Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane library, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang and CBD database. The data were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and extracted, and the quality of included studies was evaluated. The pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated using RevMan 5.2 and Stata 12.0 software. Publication bias and sensitivity analysis were also assessed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A total of 15 case-control studies involving 5,176 cases and 5 890 controls were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that individuals with GSTM1 null genotype harbored a significantly increased risk of breast cancer compared to that with GSTM1 non-null genotype in Chinese population (OR=1.34, 95%CI=1.12-1.60, P=0.002). The subgroup analysis by region revealed that the individuals with GSTM1 null genotype were significantly associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in southern and northern China populations (southern: OR=1.14, 95%CI=1.01-1.28, P=0.03; northern: OR=2.65, 95%CI=2.04-3.34, P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The current meta-analysis demonstrates that the GSTM1 polymorphism is significantly associated with susceptibility to breast cancer in Chinese population, and the GSTM1-deficit may increase the risk of breast cancer.</p>

ABSTRACT
[Objective]To evaluate the effects of Austin surgery for mild and moderate juvenile hallux valgus. [Method]From November 2005 to Januuary 2007,16 juvenile hallux valgus patients(28 feet)with average of 17.8 years(range,17 to 19 years)were treated with Austin surgery.The X-ray films of all patients were obtained before operation,and twelve months,fifteen months after operation.The hallus valgus angle,intermetatarsal angle,proximal articular set angle,and distal articular set angle were measured and analyzed on radiographs.The surgical outcome was evaluated combined with the Gu Xiang-jie's score.All pamameters were statistically analyzed. [Result]All the patients were completely followed up.Hallax valgus angle reduced from 26.3?1.19 to 11.7?0.40,intermetatarsal angle reduced from 14.1?0.82 to 7.2?0.85,proximal articular set angle from 12.7?0.28 to 6.4?0.54(all P
