Objective To explore the relationship between atherosclerotic plaque stability and junctional adhesion molecule A (JAM-A) in atherosclerotic mice.Methods Twenty-six apolipoprotein E gene knockout(ApoE-/-) mice were divided into three groups.Group A (six mice) was control group,group B (ten mice) was disposed by ligation and high-fat diet and group C was disposed by high-fat diet with ten mice.The formation process of plaques were observed with high resolution ultrasound(22 MHz),and plaque markers were detected to evaluate palque stability for secondary grouping (group D was vulnerable plaque group and group E was stable plaque group).The plaque stability were evaluated by plaque vulnerability index and the expression of JAM-A were analyzed using immunohistochemical staining.The relationship between atherosclerotic plaque stability and JAM-A in atherosclerotic mice were estimated with statistical methods at last.Results There was no plaque in carotid artery of group A.On the contrary,obvious plaques were observed in carotid artery of group B and C.The total serum lipids level in group A was normal.But high-fat diet could obviously decrease the serum HDL-cholesterol level of group B and group C when compared with the controls(P ＜0.05).High-fat diet could increase the ratio of non-HDL-cholesterol (TC,TG,LDL).As shown with pathological staining,the content of extracellular lipids and foam cells in the plaque were significantly increased vs.control (P ＜ 0.05).On the contrary,the content of smooth muscle cells and collagen fibers were significantly increased vs.control(P ＜0.05).The plaque vulnerability index of group D was higher than that in group E(P ＜0.01).The expression of JAMA was increased in group D and E,and in group D was higher(P ＜0.01).While,few JAM-A expression in group A.There was significant correlation between plaque vulnerability index and JAM-A (P＜0.01).Conclusions High resolution uhrasound(22 MHz) can observe the formation of carotid plaque in ApoE-/-mice.There was a positive correlation between JAM-A expression and the vulnerability of plaque in carotid artery.JAM-A might be used for evaluation of plaque stability as a new indicator.

Objective To investigate the relationship of plasma homocysteine with the genotype distribution of MTHFR and MTRR among Chinese Han women in Xiangtan. Methods MTHFR C677T, A1298C and MTRR A66G geno?typing was analyzed to detect the distribution of gene polymorphisms among 1 701 women from Xiangtan city then the data were compared with the rest of the Han women in Zibo, Zhengzhou, Yantai, Zhenjiang, Songzi, Huizhou, Qionghai. Plasma Hcy levels from 110 patients were measured and analyzed the correlation with gene polymorphisms. Results The frequency of MTHFR C677T genotype and allele frequencies in Xiangtan is 12.6%which is higher than Huizhou (10.9%) and Qionghai (6.1%) but lower than Zibo (43.6%), Zhengzhou (36.8%), Yantai (32.2%), Zhenjiang (21.8%) with statistically significant dif?ference (P<0.05). There is no significant different in MTHFR C677T between Xiangtan and Songzi. The frequency of MTH?FR A1298C genotype and allele frequencies in Xiangtan is 4.8%which is lower than Qionghai(7.1%)but higher than Zibo (1.4%),Zhengzhou(2.4%), Yantai(1.8%), Zhenjiang(3.5%)and Songzi(2.6%)with statistically significant difference. The frenquency of MTRR A66G genotype and allele frequencies in Xiangtan is 6.8%which is higher than Zibo (4.8%) but lower than Qionghai (9.3%) with statistically signifcant difference. Plasma Hcy concentration correlate with MTHFR C677T, Hcy concentration in TT population is higher than that in CT and CC population(μmol/L:8.52±2.01 vs 5.94±1.47 vs 5.71± 0.18);Plasma Hcy concentration also correlate with MTHFR A1298C and Hcy concentration in CC population is higher than AA and AC population(μmol/L:9.83 ± 2.26 vs 6.35 ± 2.13 vs 5.55 ± 1.75);Plasma Hcy concentration does not correlate with MTRR A66G. Conclusion The gene polymorphism of MTHFR C677T, A1298C and MTRR A66G among the Han women in Xiangtan was statistically different from other selected regions of China. Mutation in MTHFR C 677T and A1298C were associated with elevated plasma levels of Hcy.

Objective To investigate the distribution characteristics of Oncomelania hupensis in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, so as to provide insights into the assessment of the risk of schistosomiasis transmission and the scientific formulation of the schistosomiasis surveillance strategy. Methods From 2015 to 2019, a total of 19 national schistosomiasis surveillance sites were assigned in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, including 4 fixed sites and 15 mobile sites. Snail survey was performed by means of systematic sampling in combination with environmental sampling, and the infection of Schistosoma japonicum was detected by the crushing method combined with loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay. Results From 2015 to 2019, snail habitats were detected at areas of 17 040 to 39 527 m², including 6 214 m² emerging snail habitats and 16 563 m² re-emerging snail habitats. The overall mean density of living snails was 0.019 2 snails/0.1 m² and the occurrence of frames with snails was 1.11% in the national schistosomiasis surveillance sites; however, no S. japonicum infection was identified in snails. The area of snail habitats increased by 121.46% in the national surveillance sites in 2019 as compared to that in 2015; however, 50.34% (Z = −0.422, P > 0.05) and 42.85% (χ² = 130.41, P < 0.01) reductions were seen in the overall means density of living snails and the occurrence of frames with snails. All snail habitats were distributed in the 4 fixed surveillance sites, and were mainly found in ditches, paddy fields and dry lands, with weeds as the primary vegetation type. Conclusions There are still risk factors leading to re-emergent transmission of schistosomiasis in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, such as local snail spread, and the monitoring of schistosomiasis remains to be reinforced to further consolidate the achievements of schistosomiasis elimination in the region.
