ABSTRACT
Objective The relationship between toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) the single nucleotide polymor-phisms of gene (SNP) and ischemic stroke reperfusion injury was evaluated by meta-analysis ,which was de-signed to provide evidence-based medicine for the prevention of ischemic stroke reperfusion injury . Methods In Medline ,PubMed ,EMBASE ,Cochrane ,CBM ,Chinese Journal Net ,academic conference materials and dissertations ,we searched for comprehensive information on the relationship between TLR4 gene SNP (rs10759932 ,rs11536891 ,rs11536879) in ischemic stroke Cohort study and case-control literature to determine whether the gene SNP (rs10759932 ,rs11536891 ,rs11536879) was associated with ischemic stroke reperfusion injury by genotype comparison .The heterogeneity test was performed by Stata11 .0 .The heterogeneity test was used to calculate the OR value .The heterogeneity between different studies was analyzed quantitatively . The fixed effect model was used and the percentage I2 was calculated .Results Meta analysis showed that 1943 cases of ischemia-reperfusion injury and 5043 cases of control group were analyzed ,TLR4 gene SNP (rs10759932 ,rs11536891 ,rs11536879) was associated with the risk of ischemic stroke reperfusion injury ,the dominant fixed effect models were (OR=1 .653 ,95％ CI:1 .416 -1 .930 ;OR=1 .653 ,95％ CI:1 .416 -1 .930 ;OR=1 .653 ,95％ CI:1 .416-1 .930 ;);a co-dominant fixed effect model (OR=1 .525 ,95％ CI:1 .350 -1 .723 ;OR= 1 .653 ,95％ CI:1 .416 -1 .930 ;OR= 1 .653 ,95％ CI:1 .416 -1 .930) .Conclusion TLR4 gene SNP (rs10759932 ,rs11536891 ,rs11536879) was associated with the occurrence of ischemic stroke reperfusion inju-ry by Meta-analysis .
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the relationship between hyperhomocystinemia (HHcy) and occurrence of Alzheimer disease (AD) .Methods A total of 100 cases of elderly patients with dementia were collected ,from April 2010 to May 2013 ,and divided in‐to AD group and vascular dementia (VD) group according to patients′condition .Other 50 cases of healthy elderly individuals were collected in the control group .Levels of homocysteine (Hcy) were detected ,and the relationship between level of Hcy and occur‐rence of AD was analysed .Results Levels of Hcy in the AD group and VD group were higher than that in the control group ,and were decreased after treatment ,there were statistically significant differences(P<0 .05) .After treatment ,the scores of mini‐mental state examination(MMSE) in the AD group and VD group both were increased ,and the score of activity of daily living scale(ADL) was decreased in the AD group ,there were statistically significant differences (P<0 .05) .The level of Hcy in mild AD patients was lower than that in severe AD patients ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .The AD odds ratio(OR) was 4 .7 ,and 95% confidence interval(CI) was 1 .76 -7 .09 .The level of Hcy in patients with AD was significantly negatively correlated with score of MMSE ,the coefficient value(r) was -0 .32 ,-0 .40 and -0 .27 in mild ,moderate and severe AD(P<0 .05) .Conclusion HHcy is an independent risk factor for the onset of AD ,so attention should be paid on high Hcy level ,in order to prevent AD .
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore rapamycin's inhibitory effect on proliferation of H_(22) hepatic cancer in mice. Methods In vitro study: H_(22) hepatic cancer cell lines were cultured with rapamycin, CsA, FK506, and proliferation was determined through MTT. The influences of different agents on the H_(22) hepatic cancer cell cycle were observed by flow cytometry. The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) concentration of the supernatant fluid of the cultured H_(22) hepatic cancer cell was detected by ELISA. In vivo study: C57BL/6 to Balb/c mice allogenic skin transplant was established, and the H_(22) hepatic cancer cell was implanted under skin. Rapamycin, CsA, FK506 and 5-FU were fed to the mice, respectively. The effect of different immunosuppressors on the survival of skin graft was observed while the proliferation of the transplant tumor was investigated. VEGF concentration of treated mice serum was examined by ELISA. The microvessel density of the transplanted tumor was observed through immunohistochemistry staining of CD34. Results The proliferation of the H_(22) hepatic cancer cells was inhibited by rapamycin at the concentration different dose of rapamycin, the VEGF concentration of the supernatant fluid decreased significantly (P<0.05). The number of S phase cells decreased significantly compared to that of other agents (P<0.05). When rapamycin, the lengthened survival time of the skin grafts was similar to that in CsA and FK506 groups. But the tumor volume was smaller than that in CsA and FK506 groups (P<0.05). Compared to that in the control group, the VEGF concentration of mice serum decreased in rapamycin group (P<0.05), and the microvessel density of the transplant tumor was reduced greatly (P<0.05). Conclusion Rapamycin, as an immunosuppressor, significantly resists immunologic rejection and inhibits the proliferation of H_(22) hepatic cancer, thus having its advantage in treating malignant hepatic cancer with liver transplantation.
