ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the distribution of blood lipids and apolipoprotein E ( ApoE) gene in patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province, and their relationship with ethnicity, gender, and age. Methods:A total of 102 patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases who received treatment in Southern Central Hospital of Yunnan Province (The First People's Hospital of Honghe State) from May 2019 to June 2020 were included in this study. Their blood lipid and ApoE gene distributions were analyzed. The correlations between blood lipid and ApoE gene distribution and ethnicity, gender, and age were analyzed. Results:There was a significant difference in total cholesterol level between male and female patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province [(4.10 ± 1.27) mmol/L vs. (4.70 ± 1.83) mmol/L, t = 1.87, P = 0.048]. There was no significant difference in total cholesterol level among different ethnic groups and different ages ( P = 0.343, 1.000). There were no significant differences in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride levels among different ethnic groups, different sexes, and different ages ( P = 0.562, 0.125, 0.158; 0.884, 0.068, 0.681; 0.262, 0.367, 0.965). There were no significant differences in blood lipid levels among different ethnic groups, different sexes, and different ages ( P = 0.890, 0.336, 0.142). No E2/E4 gene was found in all patients. E2/E2 and E2/E3 genes of ApoE accounted for 16.67%, E3/E3 gene accounted for 70.59%, and E3/E4 and E4/E4 genes accounted for 12.74%. There was no significant difference in the distribution of ApoE gene among different ethnic groups, different sexes, and different ages ( χ2 = 0.13, 0.69, 0.44, P = 0.936, 0.429, 0.804). Conclusion:Female patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province have higher total cholesterol levels than male patients. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride levels are not significantly correlated with ethnicity, sex, and age. Blood lipid abnormalities mainly manifest as low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and high triglyceride levels. The E2/E4 gene has not been found in this region so far.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the distribution of solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1b1 ( SLCO1B1) and apolipoprotein E ( ApoE) genes in a population from southern Yunnan. Methods:The data of 104 patients who received treatment in Southern Central Hospital of Yunnan Province (The First People's Hospital of Honghe State) between May 2019 and June 2020 were collected. The distribution of SLCO1B1 and ApoE genes and their relationship with nationality, sex, and age were analyzed and compared between different regions. Results:The percentage of patients carrying *1a/*1a, *1a/*1b, *1b/*1b, *1a/*15, *1b/*15, five phenotypes of SLCO1B1 gene, in the population from southern Yunnan was 4.81%, 32.69%, 42.31%, 12.50% and 7.69% respectively. Phenotypes *1a/*5, *5/*5, *5/*15 and *15/*15 were not detected. Normal metabolic phenotype of SLCO1B1 accounted for 79.81%, and intermediate metabolic phenotype of SLCO1B1 accounted for 20.19%. Weak metabolic phenotype was not detected. The percentage of patients carrying E2/E2, E2/E3, E3/E3, E3/E4, E4/E4, five phenotypes of ApoE gene in the population from southern Yunnan was 0.96%, 16.35%, 70.19%, 11.54% and 0.96% respectively. E2/E4 phenotype was not detected. The percentage of patients with ApoE protective phenotype, ApoE normal phenotype, and ApoE risk phenotype was 17.31%, 70.19% and 12.50% respectively. The observed polymorphism mutation frequency of SLCO1B1 and ApoE genes was consistent with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium ( P > 0.05), suggesting constancy and a population representation. The Fisher test showed that SLCO1B1 gene distribution differed significantly between ethnic minorities and Han nationality in southern Yunnan ( P = 0.013). There was no significant difference in SLCO1B1 gene distribution between different sexes and between different ages (all P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in ApoE gene distribution between ethnic minorities and Han nationality, between different sexes, and between different ages in the population from southern Yunnan (all P > 0.05). Conclusion:SLCO1B1 gene distribution is related to nationality in the population from southern Yunnan, but it is unrelated to sex and age. ApoE gene distribution is unrelated to nationality, sex and age.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the security and reliability of preoperative thoracoscopic pericardial exploratory and to evaluate of the surgical indications.Methods Video full-assisted thoracoscopic pericardioscopy has been implemented in 41 central type lung cancer cases before radical resection.Results Video assisted pericardioscopy group underwent thoracotomy lung resection with procession of intrapericardial pulmonary artery in 8 cases (partial pericardial resection in 2 cases),with pulmonary vein in 10 cases,and out-pericardial lung resection in 9 cases.Spiral CT projections were consistent with surgery was only 65.8 ％.The average time of explorationa was (23±10) min.Conclusion Except for widely used in pulmonary wedge resection and lobectomy,video-assisted thoracoscopic pericardial exploration can improve resection rate and survival rate in central type lung cancer patients which can reduce the need for exploratory thoracotomy.
