Objective To investigate the relationship between the genetic polymorphisms of ?_2-adrenergic receptor and the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods Allele specific-PCR technique was used to determine 16、27 locos of ?_2-AR genetic polymorphism in 64 unrelated patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and 31 healthy controls in the Department of Respiratory Medicine,People's Hospital of Gui zhou province from Mar.2003 to Apr.2004.Results In COPD group and the healthy group the frequency of Gln/Gln genotype of ?_2-AR 27 locus was 42.86%and 19.35%respectively.It showed significantly difference between them(P

Objective To study between serum uric acid and early morning blood pressure of the different degrees of Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAHS)patients.Methods134 cases of OSAHS were divided into mild,midrange and severe groups according to apnea-hypopnea index(AHI),and 23 healthy people as normal control group.serum uric acid and early morning blood pressure were measured among four groups.ResultsSerum uric acid levels in mild,midrange,severe OSAHS groups and the control group were(392.10?88.22)?mol/L,(460.14?118.86)?mol/L,(537.63?134.11)?mol/L,(304.36?80.12)?mol/L,there were significant differences among four groups.there were significant differences between severe OSAHS and the others in blood pressure,as well as between OSAHS midrange group and the control group.ConclusionSerum uric acid in OSAHS patients increased with increasing degree of AHI,the disorder of serum uric acid possiblly contribute to abnormal blood pressure in OSAHS patients.

Objective To study the association between serum total IgE level and β2-adrenoreceptor polymorphism (β2-AR) in asthmatic patients. Methods ELISA was used to determine serum total IgE and AS-PCR was used to determine β2-adrenoreceptor polymor- phism in 44 asthmatic patients. Results In β2-AR 16 locus genotype, the distribution frequencies of Arg/Arg, Gly/Gly showed increasing tendency, whereas Arg/Gly showed decreasing tendency, in normal serum total IgE group and increased serum total IgE group. But there was no significant difference between this two groups. In β2- AR 27 locus genotype, the distribution frequency of Gln/Gln genotype accounts for 76.2% and Gln/Glu genotype for 19.0% in increased serum total IgE group, while Gln/Gln genotype accounts for 9.0% and Gln/Glu geno- type for 73.9% in normal serum total IgE group. There was significant difference between two groups ( P<0.01 ). Conclusions Serum total IgE was correlated with β2-AR 27 locus genetic polymorphism, which may contribute to understand the mechanism of asthma in the peo- ple of the Han nationality in GuiZhou.

Objective To investigate changes in morning blood pressure surge (MBPS) and blood hemorheology in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypoventilation syndrome (OSAHS) of various severity. Methods Total 118 patients with OSHAS diagnosed at the Department of Respiratory Diseases, People's Hospital of Guizhou Province were divided into three groups, i.e. , 31 mild, 40 moderate and 47 severe cases, based on their apnea-hypoventilation index (AHI), and 25 healthy persons were selected as controls. Blood hemorheology, oxygen saturation, morning blood pressure surge of the patients, as well as percentage of the time with oxygen saturation more than 90 percent of the total monitoring time (TS90%) were recorded. Results Early morning blood pressure surge was found in 21 cases (43%) with severe, eight (20%) with moderate and one (3%) with mild OSAHS. All indicators of blood hemarheology and TS90% were significantly higher in the patients with OSAHS than those in controls (P<0.05 ), those in moderate and severe OSAHS were significantly higher than those in controls (P<0.05 ) and those in severe OSAHS was significantly higher than those in moderate and mild OSAHS (P<0.05). All indicators of blood hemorheology were significantly higher in those with early morning blood pressure surge than those without it (P<0.05). Conclusions Blood viscosity, percentage of early morning blood pressure surge and TS90% in the patients with OSAHS are increased with severity of apnea-hypoventilation, and changes in blood hemorheology correlated with early morning blood pressure surge.
