RESUMO
Objective:To explore the relationship between AluYb8 insertion in the MUTYH gene and the risk of decreased left ventricular diastolic function in the elderly.Methods:In the retrospective analysis, 498 elderly patients with decreased left ventricular diastolic function(the disease group)and 155 people without left ventricular diastolic function(the control group)were recruited.Polymerase chain reaction was employed to analyze the genotype distribution of AluYb8 insertion in MUTYH gene.Cardiac function was measured by high-resolution color Doppler ultrasound.Results:The frequencies of the A/A, A/P and P/P genotypes were 30.1%(150/498), 48.4%(241/498)and 21.5%(107/498)in patients with decreased left ventricular diastolic function, and 27.7%(43/155), 54.8%(85/155)and 17.5%(27/155)in the control group, respectively.There were no significant differences in genotype( χ2=2.162, P=0.339)and allele frequency( χ2=1.342, P=0.794)between the two groups.Further analysis after stratification revealed that there were statistically significant differences in genotype( χ2=7.173, P=0.028)and allele frequency( χ2=8.352, P=0.015). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, in elderly patients with diabetes, P-allele carriers had a higher risk of decreased left ventricular diastolic function than non-carriers( OR=3.450, 95% CI: 1.148-10.372, P=0.027). Conclusions:AluYb8 insertion in the MUTYH gene may be associated with the risk of decreased left ventricular diastolic function in the elderly with diabetes.
RESUMO
Objective To find the efficient modification groups of anti-proteinase hydrolyzation in polypeptide by investigat-ing and comparing the relation between the functional groups and their ability to inhibit proteinase hydrolyzation. Methods Reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography(RP-HPLC)method was developed to investigate in vitro metabolisms of new drug LXT101 and its structural modified analogs LZN series and LMP series in pancreatin system. All the separations of peptide drugs and their digested fragments were monitored at 225 nm. Results The good linear range was 4.0-400 μg/ml(r>0.9990)for new drug LXT101 and its structural modified analogs,i.e.,LZN series and LMP series. The recoveries of all peptide drugs ranged from 95.0%to 98.7%in pancreatin systems. The relative standard derivations(RSD)of intra-day and inter-day were less than 1.5%and 2.5%,re-spectively. The revealed order of digested half-life of the peptide drugs was LZN series>LMP series>LXT101. Conclusion The study of different sites and different functional groups on the lifetime indicates that the half-lives of peptides are prolonged by introducing the functional groups in the suitable sites of peptide,which feature as proteinase inhibitors,such as carbamoyl(Cbm),acetyl(Ac),para-amino-phenylalanine(Aph)or para-uramido-phenylalanine(Uph),which work as either proton donor or acceptor. Our results can pro-vide some useful and valuable information on structural design of peptide drug with long lifetime and high activity.
