Objective To study the genotype distribution of Gln223Arg in Han population in Wenzhou area,and discuss its association with hypertension patients with obesity.Methods The genotypes of Gln223Arg variant in leptin receptor gene were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms(PCR-RFLP) assay in 321 unrelated subjects of Wenzhou Han population,including 111 normal subjects(the control group),106 cases of hypertension patients with obesity and 104 cases of hypertension patients without obesity(the case group).Results The frequencies of GG,GA and AA genotypes in patients of hypertension with obesity were 0.604,0.377 and 0.019,respectively,0.712,0.279 and 0.010 in patients without obesity;0.802,0.189 and 0.009 in control group.The frequencies of G and A allele were 0.769,0.231 respectively in patients of hypertension with obesity,0.865,0.135 in patients of hypertension without obesity,0.869,0.104 in control group.The genotype frequency of Gln223Arg variant in leptin receptor gene in the control group and the case group had a significant difference(?2=6.310,P

Objective To analyze the clinic pathologic factors and survival rate by performing a retro-spective study on the early gastric carcinoma (EGC)with signet ring cell underwent curative gastrostomy (SRC) percentage less than 50%after operation .Methods A total of 424 patients was diagnosed as EGC from January 2008 to January 2010 in Changhai Hospital .The patients were divided into three groups according to the different percentage of SRC within tumor cells , SRC group ( with percentage of SCR more than 50%) , Mixed SRC group (with percentage of SRC less than 50%),and Non-SRC group(Classic adenocarcinoma without SRC ).Then we evaluated the clinic pathologic indicators and prognoses , and study on the relationship with histologic types . Results In ECG,the mixed-SRC group was similar to the SRC group on the phases of onset age and sex .On the other phases,the mixed-SRC group was more associated with mucosa -confined,lower lymph node metasta-sis(LNM),and 5-year survival rate was better than adenocarcinoma group (P<0.05).However,the mixed-SRC group showed more submucosal invasion ,and higher LNM than other groups ( P<0 .05 ) .The mixed-SRC component was one of the independent risk factors of LNM .Conclusion In EGC,mixed-SRC had a more favor-able risk factor of LNM ,showed more aggressive behavior than other groups and displayed poor prognosis .

【Objective】 To investigate the mechanism of C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) modulation by extracellular matrix stiffness in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to determine the effect of CCL5 on the immunotherapy response of NSCLC. 【Methods】 The correlation between extracellular matrix stiffness and CCL5 expression in NSCLC was analyzed with the TCGA database. Polyacrylamide hydrogels with different stiffness were designed according to the extracellular matrix stiffness of NSCLC, and H1299 cells responding to the mechanical loading of hydrogel matrix stiffness were subjected to transcriptome sequencing. High matrix stiffness was verified to promote the expression of CCL5 by using sequence. 【Results】 High extracellular matrix stiffness upregulated CCL5 expression, and interferon-γ mediated signaling pathway might be involved in the process. NSCLC patients with high CCL5 expression had a greater abundance of cytotoxic T-cells in tumor tissue and reacted favorably to anti-programmed cell death protein 1 treatment. 【Conclusion】 Increased extracellular matrix stiffness promotes CCL5 synthesis, and CCL5 enhances immunotherapy responsiveness in NSCLC by increasing cytotoxic T cell infiltration in tumor tissue.
