Objective To investigate the relationship between renin (REN) gene G10631A, angiotensinogen (AGT) gene T704C mononucleotide polymorphisms and cerebral infarction and to investigate the mechanisms and characteristics of cerebral infarction from molecular level. Methods REN gene G1063A and AGT gene T704C polymorphisms in 82 patients with cerebral infarction and 89 controls were detected with polymerase chain reactionrestriction fragment length polymorphism. The differences of the genotypes and allele frequencies were compared between the patient group and the control group. Results The frequency of REN 10631AA genotype (31. 7% vs. 10. 1%,χ2 =12. 816, P = 0. 002) and the frequency of A genotype (49. 4% vs. 30. 3% χ2 = 12. 969, P =0. 000), as well as the frequency of AGT 704 CC genotype (63. 4% vs. 34. 8% χ2 = 15. 029, P = 0. 001) and the frequency of A genotype (79. 9% vs. 61. 2% χ2 = 14. 173, P = 0. 000) in the cerebral infarction group were all significantly higher than those in the control group; the frequency of haplotype 704C 10631A was also significantly higher than that in the control group (P=0. 000). Conclusions REN 10631AA genetype and A allele as well as AGT 704 CC genetype and C allele may be the susceptible factors of cerebral infarction. Haplotype 704C-10631 A may be a genetic risk factor for the occurrence of cerebral infarction.

Objective To explore the changes and significance of Klotho protein levels in different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods From March 2015 to December 2017,176 patients with CKD admitted to nephrology department of Inner Mongolia People's Hospital were selected as the study object (CKD group), and 80 healthy patients in our hospital were selected as the control group in the same period. The serum Klotho levels of CKD patients and control group at different stages were detected by double antibody sandwich ELISA, and the differences between each group were compared. Results The serum Klotho level of CKD group (( 4. 84 ± 1. 87) μg/L) was significantly lower than that of the control group ((9. 11± 3. 14) μg/L) ( t= 13. 82, P<0. 01) . One-way anova showed that estimated renal glomerular filtration rate (eGFR),serum albumin (ALB),hemoglobin ( Hb),blood calcium ( Ca) and serum Klotho were gradually decreased,while phosphorus (P) and creatinine (Cr) in serum were gradually increased,and the difference was statistically significant among the five stages( all P<0. 01). Spearman correlation analysis showed that Klotho level was positively correlated with eGFR and Ca,and negatively correlated with CKD stage,Cr and P (r=0. 369,0. 160,-0. 200,-0. 250,-0. 230,all P<0. 05). The multiple linear regression equation showed that Klotho level was positively and independently correlated with eGFR ( t= 3. 89, P<0. 001),and negatively correlated with CKD staging independently (t=-4. 12,P<0. 001). Conclusion The expression level of serum Klotho protein in patients with CKD is lower than that of healthy people,and it decreases with the increase of CKD stages,which is closely related to the deterioration of renal function. It can be used as a reference index to evaluate the incidence and severity of CKD.
