RESUMEN
Objective To establish type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)KM mouse models via the combined use of high-calorie diet and multiple administration of low-dose streptozotocin(STZ). Methods Based on the randomized number table,30 KM mice were equally and randomly divided into 2 groups:modeling group and control group. Mice in the modeling group were given foods with high calories for one month and injected with 30 mg/kg STZ via the left lower abdominal cavity for 2-4 consecutive days,while mice in the control group were fed with standard maintenance foods and the same dose of citrate buffer solution. The general conditions including food and water intake and mice weight were recorded. Blood glucose level was measured 1,2,4,5,12,and 21 weeks after STZ injection. When the glucose level became stabilized,the serum insulin and blood lipids [including total cholesterol(TC),triacylglycerol(TG),high-density lipoprotein(HDL) and low-density lipoprotein(LDL)],and hemoglobin a1c (HbA1c)were measured,and oral glucose tolerance test were performed. Results The modeling group had a 100% survival rate. After STZ injection,the body weight of mice in the modeling group reached the peak in the forth week,and later the growth rate decreased,still significantly lower than that of control group mice till the 21week(t=3.160,P=0.006). Their blood glucose level was significantly higher than that of mice before STZ injection and in the control group(all P<0.05);as time went on,it was also rising,and it remained high till the 21week [(26.38±1.34)mmol/L]. In the 4week,the fasting blood glucose of mice in the modeling group was(11.86±3.33)mmol/L,which was significantly higher than that of mice in the control group [(6.37±1.27)mmol/L](t=-3.830,P=0.002). Fasting serum insulin of mice in the modeling group showed no significant difference compared with control group [(5.73±0.24)mU/L vs.(5.48±0.32)mU/L;t=-0.863,P=0.416]. Insulin sensitivity index was 0.0145±0.0039,which was significantly lower than that(0.0267±0.0039)in control group(t=4.414,P=0.003). In the 6week,the blood glucose levels of mice in the modeling group were(15.35±1.82),(26.45±1.07),(25.58±1.46),and(26.15±1.00)mmol/L 0,30,60,and 120 min after oral gavage of D-glucose,which were all significantly higher than those in the control group [(6.88±1.75)(t=-8.203,P=0.000),(17.65±2.94)(t=-6.884,P=0.000),(13.18±2.04)(t=-12.110,P=0.000),and(7.37±3.40)mmol/L(t=-12.969,P=0.000)]. In the 8week,serum TC and TG levels of mice in the modeling group were(3.83±0.06)and(2.20±0.20)mmol/L,which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(3.10±0.10)(t=11.000,P=0.000)and(0.90±0.10)mmol/L(t=10.070,P=0.000)]. HDL level of mice in the modeling group was(2.03±0.06)mmol/L,which was significantly lower than that in the control group [(2.48±0.02)mmol/L;t=11.662,P=0.000]. LDL level was increased but showed no significant difference [(0.34±0.08)mmol/L vs.(0.26±0.02)mmol/L](t=1.680,P=0.168). HbA1c content of mice in the modeling group was(7.30±0.31)%,which was significantly higher than that(4.40±0.32)% in the control group(t=-11.587,P=0.000). Conclusion KM mice models of T2DM were successfully established after high-calorie diet and multiple administration of low-dose STZ.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the expression of microRNA in plasma of gallbladder cancer and its clinical significance.Methods miRNA microarray was performed in seven gallbladder cancer tissues and seven adjacent normal gallbladder tissues to identify differentially expressed miRNA.The results were validated in plasmas of 40 gallbladder cancers and 20 health people with real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results Eleven gallbladder cancer-related miRNAs were identified with miRNA microarray analysis.Among them,miRNA-21,miRNA-370,miRNA-187,miRNA-122,and miRNA-202 were up-regulated,and let-7a,miRNA-200b,miRNA-143,miRNA-31,miRNA-335,and miRNA-551 were down-regulated in gallbladder cancers.Moreover,let-7a,miRNA-21,miRNA-187,miRNA-143,miRNA-202,and miRNA-335 were validated with RT-PCR,which were consistent with miRNA microarray results with significant difference between gallbladder cancers and health people (P ＜ 0.05).Furthermore,miRNA-187,miRNA-143,and miRNA-202 were related to clinical and pathological features(P ＜0.05).Conclusions These data indicate that The differentially expressed plasma miRNAs are related to gallbladder carcinogenesis and might be the novel biomarkers of gallbladder cancers.
RESUMEN
Objective To study the relationship of single nucleotide polymorphism of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 ( ACE2 ) with essential hypertension(EH) and antihypertensive response of valsartan.Methods A total of 120 case EH patients was received valsartan once daily for four weeks.Direct DNA sequencing was performed to detect the signgle nucleotide polymorphisms of ACE2 in 120 EH patients and 60 controls with normal blood pressure.ResultsThe genotyping data indicated that there were significant differences of G allele frequency between male or female EH group and controls( x2 =5.310,4.423,P ＜0.05 ).Treated with valsartan,patients with.G allele were not found to be associated with reduction in blood pressure( P ＞0.05).Conclusions Our data suggest that the ACE2 G8790A signgle nucleotide polymorphisms might be involved in the development of EH.The risk developing hypertension in the people carrying G allele is higher than that in those carrying other allele.Therefore,ACE2 gene might be a sensitive gene associated with EH.

Objective To study the relationship between angiotensin Ⅱ type 2 receptor (AGTR2) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms and hypertension in patients with essential hypertension and renal hypertension.Methods Direct DNA sequencing was performed to detect the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in eighty patients with essential hypertension,eighty patients with renal hypertension and forty normal blood pressure controls.Results There was significant difference on A allele frequencies between essential hypertension group and control group ( 56.88％ [ 91/160 ] vs 30.00％ [ 24/80 ],x2 =15.44,P ＜ 0.001 ).A allele frequency had no correlation with renal hypertension (42.50％ [ 68/160 ] vs 30.00％ [ 24/80 ],x2 =3.52,P ＞0.05).There was no significant difference on SNP between essential hypertension group and renal hypertension group ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion A1675G signal nucleotide polymorphisms of AGTR2 may be associated with the development of essential hypertension,but has nothing to do with renal hypertension.
