ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the relationship between genetic polymorphisms of sixtransmembrane protein of prostate 2 (STAMP2) and metabolic index,TNFα in Xinjiang Uygur population.Methods STAMP2 gene functional regions were sequenced in Uygur Xinjiang population diagnosed as metabolic syndrome.Patients were divided into the following three groups by their TNFα concentration:the high level group(TNFα≥7.95 μg/L,n =313),the moderate level group(TNFα >5.34-<7.95 μg/L,n =268)and the low level group(≤5.34 μg/L,n =313).The selected representative variations were genotyped by TaqMan-PCR in 894 Uygur individuals.The association of the genetic variations of STAMP2 gene with metabolic index and TNFα was analyzed.Results Three representative variations were genotyped,including rs8122,rs1981529 and rs34741656.The genotype distribution and allele frequencies of rs8122and rs1981529 were statistically different among the three groups (P < 0.05),while no difference was observed with rs34741656(P >0.05).By ANOVA analysis,statistical difference was showed between the rs1981529 polymorphism AA and AG in the concentration of TNFα(P < 0.05).None of the polymorphisms was significantly associated with TC,HDL-C,LDL-C and TG (P > 0.05).Conclusion Two STAMP2 gene polymorphisms,rs8122 and rs1981529 are associated with the concentration of TNFα in Xinjiang Uygur population.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore an effective mode for the prevention and control of hypertension in agricultural and pastoral areas in Xinjiang by comparing the effect of mode A with that of B in blood pressure-lowering treatment. Methods 1445 patients with hypertension in agricultural and pastoral areas were included in this study. They voluntarily received mode A or B blood pressure-lowering treatment. The changes in heart rate , blood pressure, lipid, and glucose, and the incidences of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events and adverse events were noted;and the effect of modes A and B was compared. Results 87.07%of the patients chose mode A group, while 12.93%chose mode B. The rate of pressure control was 70.71%in mode A group and 68.75%in mode B group , with no significant statistical difference (P>0.05). In 12th month of treatment, the decreased level of systolic pressure was (19.09 ± 20.33)mmHg in the group with mode A and (14.14 ± 17.85) mmHg in the group with mode B, showing a significant statistical difference between the two groups (P=0.047); and the declined level of diastolic pressure was (11.17 ± 13.23)mmHg and (8.17 ± 11.17) mmHg, respectively, with no significant statistical difference. Conclusion Mode A blood pressure-lowering treatment can effectively control blood pressure in hypertensive patients living in agricultural and pastoral areas in Xinjiang.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To assess the association of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) gene polymorphisms with insulin resistance (IR) in Xinjiang Uygur population.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A cross-sectional study on metabolic diseases, e.g., obesity, was conducted on ethnic Uygurs in Hetian, Xinjiang of China. A total of 1292 Uygur individuals were enrolled. The sample size for IR subjects [homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) ≥ 2.96] was 323, whereas that for non-IR controls was 969 (HOMA-IR < 2.96). Representative variations were selected from database and genotyped with TaqMan polymerase chain reaction method. For the relatively isolated population from a homogeneous environment, a case-control study was conducted to assess the association between variations of SOCS3 gene and IR.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A significant difference in genotype distribution of rs4969168 was detected between IR and control groups in males (chi square =7.216, P=0.027). Although the IR-related quantitative phenotypes did not significantly differ between individuals with GG, AG and AA genotypes of rs4969168 in the overall, male and female population (P > 0.05), the mean of body mass index and the median of fasting insulin increased in individuals with GG, AG, AA genotypes in males. Haplotype 2 (rs12953258C-rs4969168A-rs9914220C) was significantly associated with a higher prevalence of IR in males (P=0.023). Logistic regression analysis indicated that AG genotype of rs4969168 variation is a protective factor for IR in males (OR=1.772, 95% confidence interval: 1.081-2.906, P=0.023).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Our study suggested that the rs4969168 polymorphism of SOCS3 gene is associated with IR in ethnic Uygur population from Xinjiang, China.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To assess the association of polymorphisms of G protein-coupled inwardly-rectifying potassium channels 4 (GIRK4) gene with essential hypertension in ethnic Uygurs from southern Xinjiang.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 1194 (461 males and 733 females) Uygur residents aged 30 to 70 and with a body mass index (BMI) over 18.5 kg/m(2) were selected from Hetian region. All of the subjects have received questionnaire survey, physical examination, biochemical analysis and blood pressure measurement. They were divided into hypertensive group and normotensive group. Genotyping by the TaqMan polymerase chain reaction method was performed for 4 common single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs4937391, rs2604204, rs6590357 and rs1122149), and a case-control study was carried out.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Genotype distributions of rs4937391, rs2604204, rs6590357 and rs1122149 in both groups were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P> 0.05). The average systolic blood pressure of CC genotype of rs11221497 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)[(132.69± 26.9) mmHg)] was higher than the CG genotype [(127.4± 22.7) mmHg] and GG genotype [(121.1± 26.3) mmHg]. There has a significantly difference in average systolic and diastolic blood pressures between CC and GG genotypes (P< 0.05). A case-control association analysis revealed that the rs11221497 SNP was in association with essential hypertension with the dominant model [P< 0.05, OR= 0.67 (0.49-0.93)]. Haplotype analysis indicated that H6(C-G-C-G) was significantly more common in normotensive group than hypertensive group (P= 0.001).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The rs11221497 SNP of the GIRK4 gene is associated with essential hypertension in ethnic Uygur population in Xinjiang.</p>

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the curative effect and clinical significance of bone cement on coagulation functions during percutaneous vertebroplasty in patients with osteoporotic spinal compression fractures.METHODS: A total of 24 patients, comprising 18 females and 6 males, aged 69 years averagely (range 48-83 years), with 44 osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty in Department of Spinal Surgery, Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University between December 2006 and December 2007. The fracture segment was within T_5-L_3 (20 thoracic vertebrae and 24 lumbar vertebrae). Under the guidance of C-arm fluoroscopy, bone marrow biopsy needle was inserted percutaneously via transpedicular way into the fractured vertebrae. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA, bone cement) was injected into the fractured vertebrae. The relative parameters were observed in all patients 10 minutes before, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and 3 hours after bone cement implantation, including prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), fibrinogen (FIB), plasma protamine paracoagulation test (3P test), and D-dipolymer (D-D). RESULTS: PT was decreased, and FIB, 3P test, D-D were increased 10 minutes after bone cement implantation in percutaneous vertebroplasty peaked at 1 hour and gradually decreased afterward; moreover, there were significant difference between bone cement preimplantation and 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and 3 hours after bone cement implantation (P < 0.05), but no difference was observed in APTT and TT (P > 0.05). The influence of bone cement on the parameters was vanished in 3 hours after bone cement implantation, and all indexes were similar to pre-implantation (P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: Bone cement implantation causes temporal hypercoagulabale state in percutaneous vertebroplasty. It is important to monitor blood clotting state in 3 hours after bone cement implantation in order to avoid thrombus disease.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: After acute spinal cord injury (SCI), edema of spinal cord is an important factor for inducing and deteriorating pathological changes of spinal cord tissue. After injury, noradrenaline (NE) instantly causes microvascular contraction, endothelial injury, increase of arterial permeability and participation in edema. Recently, many researches suggest that excitatory amino acids (EAA) are related to cellular edema.OBJECTIVE: To study the effect and mechanism of selective phenol aminergic neuron, 6-hydroxy dopamine (6-OHNA)and aspartic acid (ASP) on edema after acute SCI.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study.SETTING: Department of Spine Surgery, the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out at the Experimental Animal Center of the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from March to September 2003. A total of 160 Wistar rats weighing 300-350 g of both genders were randomly divided into three groups: 6-OHNA group (n =60), MK-801 group (n =50) and control group (n =50).METHODS: Acute SCI was induced at the level of T13 vertebral body with the static lcad technique. Rats in 6-OHNA group were injected with 6-OHNA into subarachnoid space; rats in MK-801 group were injected with MK-801 into caudal vein; rats in control group did not receive any treatment. The extent of edema was compared in the three groups by means of neurological scoring, water content measurement, light microscopy and electron microscopy.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Neurological scores and water content.RESULTS: All 160 rats were involved in the final analysis. ① After SCl, content of NE in 6-OHNA group was decreased from (217.45±4.26) ng/g to (29.37±2.61) ng/g, and the difference was significant (P< 0.01). Edema in spinal cord tissue was effectively inhibited for 24 hours. At 12 hours after SCl, function recovered remarkably and vascular-derived edema was the mildest. ② In MK-801 group, there was no significant suppression of the edema until 24 hours after injury. Early recovery of neurological function was not significantly different from that in control group (P > 0.05), but functional recovery was obvious until 24 hours after injury (P<0.05). The degree of cytotoxic edema was the lightest.CONCLUSTON: NE can inhibit vascular-derived edema at early phase of SCI, and EAA can inhibit cytotoxic edemas,which develops at a relatively later stage.
