Objective To investigate the distribution of genotypes in chronic HBV infection (CHB) and acute HBV infection (AHB) patients in Shanghai. Methods Sixty-two patients with AHB and 73 patients with CHB admitted to ('hanghai Hospital of Shanghai between 2003 and 2007 were studied. Viral genotypes of all the patients were determined by direct gene sequencing.Meanwhile, epidemiological, clinical and biochemical parameters of all patients were collected. Mean values of different groups were compared by t test while frequency was compared by chi square test. Results The major prevalent genotypes in both AHB and CHB patients were genotype B and C (48.4% vs 51.6% in AHB patients and 26.0% vs 74.0% in CHB patients). The proportion of genotype B was higher in AHB patients compared to CHB patients (P= 0.02). Epidemiological factors and clinical outcomes were not statistically different among patients with different viral genotypes. The proportion of genotype C was much higher in CHB patients compared to AHB patients (P=0.006). The main transmission route of AHB was heterosexual interaction which was 18 out of 62 (29.0%), but in CHB patients, it was prenatal transmission which was 38 out of 73 (52.1%). Conclusions In shanghai, the main HBV genotypes in both AHB and CHB patients are genotype B and C. The proportion of genotype B is relatively high in AHB patients while proportion of genotype C is more common in CHB patients. There is no significant relationship between genotypes and the clinical outcomes of AI-IB patients.

Objective Objective TO investigate the potential association between matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) gene polymorphisms and risk of ischemic stroke in Western Guangdong population.Methods This hospitalbased case-control study recruited 251 patients with ischemic stroke and 96 controls.Using Multiplex SNaPshot method was used to detect the genotype of MMP-9 gene rs3787268、rs3918241 and rs3918242 polymorphisms.The association between MMP-9 gene polymorphisms and risk of ischemic stroke was analyzed.Results ① There were significant differences in the genotype distribution of rs3787268 between ischemic stroke group and the controls (P=0.042).In the recessive model,the individual risk of A/A genotype was higher (OR=2.21,P=0.046) than that of the G/G+G/A genotype.② Compared with the controls,the genotype and allele distribution of rs3918242 in the ischemic stroke group were significantly different (P=0.007,P=0.038).In the dominant model,the risk of individuals carrying the T genotype was significantly elevated (OR=2.14,P=0.009) compared with individuals with the C/C genotype.③ The genotype distribution of rs3787268 polymorphisms in the LAA but not in no-LAA subgroup was significantly different from that in the controls (P =0.039).The genotype distribution and allele frequency of rs3918242 polymorphisms in the LAA subgroup were significantly different from that of the control group (P=0.009,P=0.047).There was no significant difference in the genotype distribution and allele frequency between no-LAA subtype and the control group.Conclusions The MMP-9 gene rs3918242 and rs3787268 polymorphisms may be the risk factors of ischemic stroke in Han population in the western part of Guangdong province,China.The MMP-9 gene rs3918242 and rs3787268 polymorphisms may be the risk factors of large-artery atherosclerotic stroke.

Objective:To explore the clinical significance of multi-sample next-generation sequencing (NGS) in detecting gene mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), so as to provide a basis for individualized targeted treatment.Methods:The data of 51 patients with NSCLC in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University Medical College from June 2016 to February 2019 was retrospectively analyzed. The patients' age, gender, smoking status, pathological type, tumor staging, pleural invasion status and meningeal invasion status were collected, and the tissues, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural effusion and plasma samples were detected by NGS. The correlations between the driver gene mutations [epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and ROS proto-oncogene 1, receptor tyrosine kinase (ROS1)] and the clinicopathological features of patients were analyzed by χ 2 test or Fisher exact probability method. Cohen Kappa coefficient analysis was used to compare the consistency of NGS detection results in different samples. Results:Among the 51 patients, 3 different types of specimens were examined in 7 patients. Of which, the driver gene mutations were all positive in 3 cerebrospinal fluid samples and double gene mutations were found in 2 hydrothorax samples. Driver gene mutations were more common in female [90.48% (19/21) vs. 50.00% (15/30), χ 2 = 9.107, P = 0.003], non-smokers [80.00% (24/30) vs. 47.62 (10/21), χ 2 = 5.829, P = 0.016], adenocarcinoma patients [72.34% (34/47) vs. 0, P = 0.017] and patients with malignant pleural effusion [92.86% (13/14) vs. 56.76% (21/37), χ 2 = 4.443, P = 0.035], and the differences were statistically significant. However, there was no statistically significant difference in mutations of driver gene among patients with different age or tumor stages (both P > 0.05). The consistency rate of genetic test results of the driver gene mutations in 37 plasma samples and matched tissue samples was 70.27% (26/37), κ value was 0.430, which suggested a good consistency between them. Conclusions:In patients with advanced NSCLC, gene detection of cerebrospinal fluid is of high application value for patients with meningeal metastasis; for patients with pleural invasion, gene detection of pleural effusion is an effective means to screen targeted therapy drugs. NGS detection of multiple specimens can better reflect the status of gene mutations and guide the individualized targeted therapy of lung cancer patients.

BACKGROUND: Advanced epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant lung adenocarcinoma had a high overall incidence of brain metastasis during the full course, and local brain radiotherapy combined with systemic targeted therapy may be a better strategy. This study aimed to identify the prognostic factors of EGFR-mutant brain-metastatic lung adenocarcinoma patients who received EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in combination with gamma knife radiosurgery. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma patients with brain metastases which developed at initial diagnosis or during EGFR-TKIs treatment period were performed. Intracranial progression free survival (PFS) was statistically analyzed between different subgroups to find out the prognostic factors including gender, age, smoking history, extracranial metastasis, EGFR mutation type, size and number of intracranial lesions, carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) level, lung-molGPA score and so on. RESULTS: A total of 74 EGFR-mutant brain-metastatic lung adenocarcinoma patients were enrolled in this study, with median intracranial PFS of 14.7 months. One-year intracranial-progression-free rate was 58.5%, and two-year rate was 22.2%. Univariate survival analysis showed that patients with lower CEA level at initial diagnosis (<10 ng/L)(16.9 months vs 12.6 months, P=0.012) and smaller intracranial lesions (<2 cm)(15.4 months vs 10.8 months, P=0.021) and higher lung-molGPA score (>3)(15 months vs 12.6 months, P=0.041) were prone to have a superior intracranial PFS. Multivariate analysis showed that CEA≥10 ng/mL and intracranial lesion≥2 cm were the independent risk factors of intracranial PFS. CONCLUSIONS EGFR-TKIs in combination with gamma knife radiosurgery was an efficient treatment option to control the cranial tumor lesion. CEA≥10 μg/L at initial diagnosis and intracranial lesion≥2 cm were the risk factors of EGFR-mutant brain-metastatic lung adenocarcinoma patients receiving EGFR-TKIs in combination with gamma knife radiosurgery.
