Objective To investigate the correlation between I405 single nucleotide polymorphism in CETP gene and the therapeutic effect of simvastatin in dyslipidemia patients.Methods Genotype information of I405V in CETP gene was detected by SNaPshot TM primer extension assay in 375 dyslipidemia patients.Blood lipid profiles before and 6 weeks after treatment with simvastatin were recorded to analyze the correlation between the therapeutic effect of simvastatin and I405 polymorphism genostype.Results The frequency of I405 V polymorphism was 38.9%in II genotype,48.5% in IV genotype and 12.5%in VV genotype.After being treated with simvastatin for 6 weeks,the serum levels of TC were significantly decreased by 1.21 mmol/L(P <0.01)and HDL-C level was significantly increased by 0.74 mmol/L(P <0.01).Compared with the IV and VV genotypes of I405V polymorphism,the decrease of TC in II genotype patients were 0.26 mmol/L and 0.16 mmol/L more respectively (P<0.01).Meanwhile,the increase of HDL-C was significantly different among three genotypes(P<0.01).HDL-C in II genotype was increased by 0.85 mmol/L,which was 0.19 mmol/L and 0.15 mmol/L more compared with IV genotype and VV genotype,respectively.Conclusion I405V polymorphism in CETP gene is similar with the lipid-regulating effect of simvastatin.The decrease of blood lipid is more significant in patients with II genotype compared with patients with V allele,suggesting that II genotype is the maker which may predict the therapeutic effect of simvastatin in dyslipidemia patients.However,this conclusion still needs further evaluation.

Objective To evaluate the right ventricular global and regional strain and strain rate in patients with metabolic syndrome(MS) by two‐dimensional speckle tracking imaging(2D‐STI) ,and explore the correlation between different MS criteria and global strain and strain rate of right ventricle . Methods Forty‐four MS subjects ,35 pre‐MS subjects and 40 healthy subjects were enrolled . The basal ,middle and apical systolic longitudinal peak strain( Ss) and strain rate( SRs) ,early diastolic and late diastolic peak strain rate(SRe ,SRa) of right ventricular free wall were measured using 2D‐STI and global strain and strain rate ( GSs ,GSRs ) ,early diastolic and late diastolic peak strain rate ( GSRe ,GSRa ) of right ventricle were calculated . The correlation between different MS criteria and GS ,GSR of right ventricle were analyzed . Results Compared with control group ,Ss ,SRs ,SRe and SRa in basal and middle segments in MS group and Ss ,SRs in basal segment in Pre‐MS group decreased( all P < 0 .05) . Ss and SRs in basal segment in MS group were significantly lower than those in Pre‐MS group(all P <0 .05) . Compared with control group , GSs ,GSRs ,GSRe and GSRa in MS group and GSs ,GSRs in Pre‐MS group decreased ( all P <0 .05) . GS and GRS in MS group and Pre‐MS group had no statistical significance( all P > 0 .05) . There were good correlation of waist circumference(WC) ,systolic blood pressure(SBP) ,fasting blood‐glucose with GSs( r =-0 .73 ,-0 .69 ,-0 .46 , P < 0 .01) and GSRs( r = -0 .63 ,-0 .78 ,-0 .48 , P < 0 .01) . The multiple regression analysis of MS criteria showed that waist circumference and systolic blood pressure were independently associated with GSs and GSRs of right ventricle(β= -0 .44 ,-0 .77 , P <0 .01) . Conclusions 2D‐STI could accurately assess right ventricular global and regional function in MS patients .Among all MS risk factors ,waist circumference and systolic blood pressure are the most responsible for right ventricular function .

Objective To explore the value of three-vessel and trachea(3VT) view plus aortic arch coronal section in ultrasonic diagnosis and classification of fetal right aortic arch(RAA).Methods Echocardiography data and follow-up results of 44 fetuses with RAA were retrospectively analyzed.Sonographic features on 3VT view and aortic arch coronal section were summarized.Results Among 44 fetuses with RAA,27 cases(61.36%) were RAA with aberrant left subclavian artery(ALSA) and the left ductus arteriosus(LDA) connecting the ALSA and U-shaped vascular ring was formed;17 cases(38.64%) were mirror right aortic arch(MRAA).Among 17 cases with MRAA,3 cases were with LDA connecting the descending aorta(DAO) and U-shaped vascular ring was formed;1 case was with LDA connecting the left innominate artery(LINA),8 cases were with absent ductus arteriosus(ADA),5 case were with right ductus arteriosus(RDA),no vascular ring was formed.Parts of MRAA were combined with other complex intracardiac abnormalities.RAA-ALSA-LDA were rarely combined with intracardiac abnormalities.Conclusions 3VT view is simple and intuitive for diagnosing RAA.Aortic arch coronal section has great clinical value in determining the concrete type of RAA.

Purpose:
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is identified as an important regulator involved in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tumorigenesis. This study aimed to investigate the functional role and underlying mechanism of LINC00662 in OSCC.
Materials and Methods:
The expression levels of LINC00662, miR-144-3p, and enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) mRNA were quantified with quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in OSCC tissues and cell lines. Western blot analysis was used to assay the expression levels of E-cadherin, Vimentin, and EZH2. Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were monitored by cell counting kit-8 and Transwell assays. Dual-luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays were employed to verify the regulatory relationship between LINC00662 and miR-144-3p.
Results:
The expression of LINC00662, positively associated with the increased TNM stage and lymph node metastasis of the patients, was up-regulated in OSCC tissues and cells. The overexpression of LINC00662 facilitated the proliferation, migration, and invasion of OSCC cells. MiR-144-3p could bind to LINC00662, and the promoting effect of LINC00662 overexpression was counteracted by miR-144-3p mimic. Moreover, EZH2 expression was negatively regulated by miR-144-3p and positively regulated by LINC00662. The silencing of EZH2 attenuated the promoting effects of overexpression of LINC00662 on cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
Conclusion
LINC00662, as an oncogenic lncRNA of OSCC, accelerates OSCC progression by repressing miR-144-3p expression and increasing EZH2 expression.
