Objective To investigate gene expression patterns of atherosclerosis (As) induced by homocysteine (Hcy). Methods Total RNAs were isolated from peripheral blood lymphocytes of 3 inpatients who had no traditional risk factors of coronary heart disease (CHD). They were one with normal coronary angiography and plasma Hcy level , one CHD patient with normal plasma Hcy level, and one CHD patient with high plasma homocysteine level . The RNAs were reversely transcribed to the cDNAs to prepare the hybridization probes. The probes were hybridized to the gene chip with 1152 genes to study gene expression patterns. Results There were 177 differentially expressed genes between the CHD patient with high plasma homocysteine level and the patient with normal coronary angiography and plasma Hcy level (group 1) . There were 151 differentially expressed genes between the CHD patient with high plasma homocysteine level and the CHD patient with normal plasma Hcy level (group 3) . A parallel comparison between group 1 and group 3 gene chips showed that there were 48 differentially expressed genes in common , of which there were 25 down-regulated and 23 up-regulated genes.Conclusions Among the differentially expressed genes, some are involved in the functions of apoptosis, signal transduction, immunology, translation of protein and proto-oncogene, etc. They had potential values in genesis of As induced by Hcy. The study based on gene chip in researching the differentially expressed genes of As induced by Hcy will provide new clues for finding out the pathogenesis of As.

Lipopolysaccharide(LPS) can induce cell inflammation through interacting with TLR4. Recent studies have revealed that MD-2 participate in the process of LPS induced signal transduction pathway by forming a complex with TLR4. After binding to the MD-2 of the TLR4/MD-2 complex, LPS can induce TLR4- oligomerization and activate the downstream signal pathway. After being synthesized, most MD-2 can bind to TLR4 at the endoplasmic reticulum /Golgi apparatus and expresse as TLR4/MD-2 complex at the cellular surface. Therefore MD-2 not only can regulate the distribution of TLR4 in the cytoplasm, but also help TLR4 to recognize LPS. Another part of MD-2 can be released into plasma as soluble MD-2(sMD-2). With the help of CD14, sMD-2 would interact with LPS in the plasma to constitute LPS-sMD-2 complex, helping cell who express only TLR4, to recognize LPS, however excessive expressed sMD-2 would repress the LPS signal transduction pathway. In conclusion, MD-2 plays a crucially modulating role in the process of TLR4 mediated endotoxin recognition and signal transduction.

Objective To compare the field-matching techniques and dosimetric characteristics in the target area of testicular seminoma including the abdominal and pelvic cavities between direct aperture optimization intensity modulated radiation therapy (DAO-IMRT) and 3D conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT),and to analyse the advantages and disadvantages of DAO-IMRT.Methods DAO-IMRT and 3D-CRT plans were designed with Pinnacle treatment planning system for 7 testicular seminoma patients,and the characteristics of both the irradiation methods were analyzed and evaluated by means of the parameters like dose homogeneity indexes,dose volume histograms and etc.Results DAO-IMRT had the hot and cold volumes in the target areas both significantly smaller than those by 3D-CRT,while the conformity index and homogeneity index superior to those by 3D-CRT.The mean doses (Dmean) by DAO-IMRT of the organs at risk (OAR) except the left femur head were all lower than those by 3D-CRT,aud the V15 values of liver,double kidney,small intestine and rectum by DAO-IMRT were statistically lower than those by 3D-CRT (P<0.01).3D-CRT had the V5 values of OAR all lower than those by DAO-IMRT,in which the differences of double kidney,small intestine,bladder,left femur head and normal tissues were significant statistically (P<0.05).The monitor units by DAO-IMRT roughly doubled when compared with those by 3D-CRT,and the difference was also significant (P<0.01).Conclusion DAO-IMRT with easy operation and high reliability can avoid the connection of fields in the target area of testicular seminoma,and is superior to 3D-CRT in dosimetry.

Objective To evaluate the serum concentrations of estradiol and testosterone in hyperuricemia patients and possible correlations of the two factors and uric acid (UA) in hyperuricemia (HUA) patients.Methods This was a case control study.We involved 90 hyperuricemia patients,103 healthy controls.Estradiol,testosterone,UA,serum glucose,lipid profile,creatinine and body mass index (BMI) were estimated in two groups.The statistical analysis of the data were performed using SPSS version 19.0 software.The estradiol,testosterone,UA,serum glucose,lipid profile,serum creatinine and BMI levels between the two groups were compared using the Student's t-test.Pearson correlation test was used to assess the correlation between serum UA levels and these indexes.Results Serum levels of estradiol in healthy subjects and hyperuricemia patients were 82.2 (55.6-108.8) pmol/L,65.8 (36.6-95.0) pmol/L respectively ;the serum levels of UA were 300.8(207.2-394.4) μmol/L,426.9(370.1-483.7) μmol/L,respectively.The levels of estradiol were higher in the healthy control group than those in the hyperuricemia group.There were significant differences of estradiol levels between these two groups (P < 0.05).Estradiol was negatively correlated with UA (r =-0.319,P < 0.01),so was testosterone (r =-0.312,P < 0.01).Conclusion The findings of the present study suggest that in hyperuricemia patients,there are associations between estradiol and UA and the levels of serum estradiol might be used as biomarkers in hyperuricemia.
