RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the association between the polymorphisms of the hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis related genes SKA2, AVPR1B, CRHR2 and suicide attempts in patients with depression, and the interaction between the genes and environmental factors.Methods:From March 2017 to August 2018, sixty-one patients with depression who were hospitalized for suicide were selected (case group), and 57 subjects matched with the age, gender and education level of the case group (control group) were selected in the same period.Snapshot genotyping technique was used to test the genotypes of case group and control group.Barratt impulsivity scale (BIS-Ⅱ) and life event scale (LES) were used to assess the impulsive traits and mental stress of individuals in the past year.Chi-square test and independent sample t-test were used for inter group comparison by SPSS 22.0 software.Gene-environment interaction was analyzed by the generalized multi factor dimensionality reduction. Results:The total scores of BIS-Ⅱ and LES in case group(65.05± 11.14, 34.16±27.23) were higher than those in the control group (53.30 ± 9.07, 11.67±12.64), the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05). There was no significant difference in gene frequency and allele frequency of SKA2 and CRHR2 between the two groups ( P>0.05). The genotype frequency and allele frequency of rs28373064 of AVPR1B gene were significantly different between the two groups (χ 2=5.763, 4.279, both P<0.05), but there was no significant difference after Bonferroni correction ( P>0.05). The best interaction model in GMDR was the third-order model constructed by rs28373064 of AVPR1B gene, impulsive traits and life events, with the highest accuracy of 0.789 for sample test( P=0.001). In multiple genetic models, rs28373064 of AVPR1B gene was associated with attempted suicide behavior in patients with depression(dominant model: A/G-G/G ( OR=0.38, 95% CI=0.16-0.88, P=0.021), overdominant model: A/G ( OR=0.36, 95% CI=0.15-0.87, P=0.019), log-additive model: A/A, A/G and G/G ( OR=0.44, 95% CI=0.20-0.96, P=0.034)). Conclusion:rs28373064 polymorphism of AVPR1B gene is associated with attempted suicide behavior in patients with depression.AA genotype carriers of AVPR1B gene are more likely to commit suicide under the influence of life events and impulsive.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the effect of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor(VEGF) to the expression in hepatoma cells affected by TGF-?1 and hopxia. Methods HepG2 cells were cultured in vitro, and treated with different doses of TGF-?1 and Cobalt chloride hexahydrate(CoCl2), or with TGF-?1 and CoCl2. The change of VEGF protein and mRNA was detected by immunohistochemistry and semiquantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR showed that the expression of VEGF protein and mRNA were significantly higher in TGF-?1 groups or CoCl2 groups than that of control group(P
RESUMO
AIM: To investigate the effect of nitric oxid e (NO) and taurin on hemorrhagic shock /reperfusion injury. METHODS: Twenty-four rabbit s were divided randomly into 3 groups ( n= 8): control group and shock group and taurine group. The model of hemorrhagic shock/reperfusion was used. The activities of ni tric oxide synthase (NOS),superoxide dismutase(SOD),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)and the contents of malondialdehyde(MDA),nitric oxide pvoducts( NO - 2/NO - 3) in plasma were observed before shock and shock 1.5 h,reper fusion 1 h ,2 h and reperfusion 3 h. RESULTS: ①During shock/reperfusion, the ac tivities of NOS,LDH and the contents of MDA,NO - 2/NO - 3 were significan tly highe r, but the activity of SOD was significantly lower in plasma of shock group than that of before shock and shock 1.5 h. ②At 3 h reperfusion, the activity of NOS and the contents of MDA, NO - 2/NO - 3 were significantly higher,bu t the act ivity of SOD was significantly lower in the lung and heart of shock group than t hat of control group. ③ Taurine(40 mg?kg -1 ,iv) attenuated all the c hanges above mentioned at total time points of reperfusion. ④ A close correlation was shown between MDA content and NO - 2/NO - 3 content in plasma, lung and i n heart. CONCLUSION: These results suggeste that NO may be involved in oxida nt-mediated shock/reperfusion, antagonistic effect of taurine on hemorrhagic shock/reperfusi on injury may be relate d to decreasing the generation of NO and anti-lipoperoxidation.
