RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To prospectively study the relationship between risk factors and stroke incidence and mortality in the Chinese elderly.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>An analytic study in a cohort population of 1,268 male retired cadres in a military setting. A health-screening program was carried out for all cadres aged 55 years or older in Xi'an in February 1987. Baseline data on smoking, cholesterol, triglyceride, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), histories of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, diabetes and family histories of cardiovascular disease were investigated. Main outcome measures were stroke incidence, stroke and all-cause mortality.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The cohort was followed up until June 30, 2001 and a total number of follow-up person-year was 15,546. During the follow-up period, there were 113 new stroke cases identified and the adjusted incidence was 727 per 100,000 person-year. Forty-five deaths were due to stroke and the adjusted mortality was 289 per 100,000 person-year. Using Cox model analysis, after adjustment on age, total cholesterol, triglyceride, smoking, drinking and physical exercise, we noticed that the systolic pressure, BMI, history of CHD and hyperlipidemia were independent risk factors for stroke incidence and morality.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The incidence and mortality of stroke in this cohort were lower than those in the same age group of general population. Monitoring and controlling body mass index and blood pressure level seemed to be important factors for the prevention of stroke in the elderly.</p>

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the association of gene polymorphism of organophosphate insecticides (OPs) metabolic enzymes with intermediate myasthenia syndrome (IMS) following acute OPs poisoning.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Thirty six of 147 acute OPs poisoning patients developed IMS one to four days after poisoning. Peripheral blood samples were collected from all the patients and whole blood cholinesterase (ChE) activity was determined by DTNB spectrometry. The genetic polymorphism of CYP2E1 (1091C-->T) and GSTP1 (313A-->G) were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restrict fragment length polymorphism, CYP1A1 (4889A-->G), GSTM1 and GSTT1 by allele-specific PCR, and PON1 at 55 codon (55L-->M) by PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The whole blood ChE activity in IMS patients was not significantly different from non-IMS patients at admission (38.22 +/- 17.56)% and (42.49 +/- 16.23)%, respectively, P > 0.05, but recovered much slower in IMS patients than that in non-IMS patients. The frequencies of heterozygote and variant homozygote of PON1 at 55 codon, GSTM1 null, and both GSTM1 and GSTT1 null were higher in IMS patients than those in non-IMS patients (P < 0.05), with odds ratios and their 95% confident intervals of 2.48 (1.06 - 5.78), 11.23 (2.95- 42.76), 2.53 (1.14 - 5.61) and 2.68 (1.20 - 5.97), respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Patients of OPs and its mixture poisoning with genotype of variant allele at 55 codon of PON1, GSTM1 null and both GSTM1 and GSTT1 null probably had higher risk for IMS.</p>
