RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo study the impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus on endothelium of great saphenous vein in patients with coronary heart disease.MethodsPatients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting were selected, 20 with type 2 diabetes mellitus (experimental group) and another 20 patients without (control group).The rings of great saphenous vein in I cm length were taken from those patients and then divided into 3 segments.The structure of endothelium was evaluated by the microscope and the changes of venous tone were measured in organ chamber at 37C with a constant supply of oxygen.Venous vasoconstriction was induced by phenylephrine (10-5 mol/L) and vasodilatation induced by nitroglycerin or acetylcholine (10-9 ～ 10-5 mol/L).ResultsMore damages of ultrastructure of the endothelium of saphenous vein were found in experimental group than in control group.There were no significant differences regarding the venous tone between the two groups (P ＞0.05) when vasoconstriction induced by phenylephrine and vasodilatation by nitroglycerin.However, the vasodilatation induced by acetylcholine was significantly decreased in experimental group than in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Type 2 diabetes mellitus can aggravate the damage of endothelium of saphenous vein in patients with coronary artery disease.
RESUMEN
Objective To observe the effect of smoking on the great saphenous vein tension. Methods The rings of great saphenous vein in 3mm long of selected from 31 patients with coronary artery bypass grafting were divided into three groups :smoking over 10 years( group A, n = 12 ), ex-smoking over 1 years ( group B, n =9 ) and non-smoking( group C, n =10). The changes of the tone were measured in organ chamber at 37℃ with a constant supply of oxygen when vasoconstriction induced by phenylephrine ( 10 -9 - 10 -5 mmol/L), and vasodilatation by acetylcholine ( 10 -9 - 10 -5 mmol/L) or nitroglycerin( 10 -9 - 10 -4 mmol/L)after the rings were precontracted by 10 -5 mmol/L phenylephrine. Results Vasoconstriction induced by phenylephrine and vasodilatation by nitroglycerin is no significant difference among three groups. Compared with group A, vasodilatation by acetylcholine was significantly increased in group B or C, while there is no significant difference between group B and C. Conclusion Smoking has a deleterious effect on the endothelial function of great saphenous vein, however, smoking cessation over 1 year may help to restore the endothelial function impaired by smoking.
RESUMEN
Objective To resolve the problem of the accuracy and standardization of short tandem repeat-polymerase chain reaction(STR-PCR) typing in forensic practice,the molecular clone technology has been used in producing the standard allelic ladders of DXS6799 locus.And the standard allelic ladder was applied in studying the Lisu,Pumi and De-ang populations in Yunnan Province,China.Methods Polymorphism of DXS6799 was analyzed by PCR and PAGE.Molecular cloning technology was employed to construct standard DXS6799 allelic ladder used for DXS6799 genotyping.Results The large quantities of standard allelic ladder of the locus were harvested,and the genetic polymorphisms of DXS6799 locus in three populations were studied.Conclusion The method is of high value for forensic DNA typing to construct standard ladders.DXS6799 is robust for genetic research and forensic application.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the genetic polymorphism of DXS8378 STR locus of chromosome X in Chinese Lisu,Pumi and De'ang populations in Yunnan and construct relative standard allelic ladders.Methods After being amplified by PCR,different STR allelic fragments were isolated from the PAG electrophoresis.The STR allelic fragments were extracted by kit and reamplified by PCR to obtain purified allelic fragments.Next,the purified allelic fragments were subcloned individually into the PUC plasmid vectors,and the size and structure of the inserts were confirmed by the analysis of their DNA sequences.Then we transfected it into competent E.coli DH5?TM cells,and finally,the recombinant plasmids DNA with the inserts were used as template for reamplification to generate the standard ladders.Results The standard allelic ladder for DXS8378 locus was obtained,with which the genetic polymorphisms of DXS8378 locus in three Chinese populations in Yunnan were studied.Conclusion The standard ladder made by this method is excellent,and DXS8378 is powerful for forensic practice in Chinese population.
