For the purpose of detecting the polymorphism of the human eighth complement component(C8A),an allele specific amplification method were established for detecting two alleles of C8A based on a nucleotide exchange of the C8? cDNA sequence.100 DNA blood samples from unrelated individuals of Han population in Chengdu were typed by this method.The result of comparison with the data of protein typing of the same samples using SDS PAGE method proved that the described method is efficient,correct and reliable for C8A genotypes.This methtod is valuable for further application in population genetic study and forensic science practice.

s:To resolve the problem of the accuracy and standardization of STR PCR typing in forensic science practice,we have designed a new method to produce standard D12S375 allelic ladder.Seven different PCR amplified D12S375 allelic fragments were isolated from the gel,eluted into the distilled water and reamplified by PCR.The purified allelic fragments were then blunt end subcloned individually into the pUC plasmid vectors and transfected into competent E.coli DH5? TM cells.The sequencing results confirmed that the size and the constructure of the inserts were correct.The recombinant plasmids DNA with 7 inserts were then used as templates for reamplification to generate D12S375 standard ladder, with which the genetic polymorphisms of D12S375 locus in Chinese Han population in Chengdu,Hui population in Gansu and Wei population in Xinjiang were studied.

Objective: To explore the high dose atorvastatin reducing contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) rate in patiens with emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) via improveing heat shock protein-90 (HSP90) expression with its possible mechanism. Methods: A total of 158 STEMI patients with emergent PCI in our hospital were studied. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: High dose atorvastatin group, the patients received pre-operative atorvastatin 40 mg,n=80 and Control group, the patients received pre-operative placebo,n=78. The serum creatinin (Scr), creatinine clearance rate (Ccr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), nitrogen monoxide (NO), HSP90 mRNA expression and protein concentration and urine α1-microglobulin were examined in all patients and the incidence rates of CIN were compared between 2 groups. Results: Compared with Control group, High dose atorvastatin group had drcreased Scr (68.92 ± 8.80) μmol/L vs (77.25 ± 13.36) μmol/L, MDA (3.88 ± 0.53) nmol/L vs (4.08 ± 0.52) nmol/L and urine α1-micrglobulin (1.38 ± 0.36) mg/dl vs (1.89 ± 1.13 ) mg/dl; increased Ccr (89.71 ± 9.85) ml/min vs (77.28 ± 13.78) ml/ min, SOD (129.52 ± 30.63) U/ml vs (117.66 ± 27.98) U/ml, NO (66.23 ± 29.26) μmol?gprot vs (55.12±27.43) μmol?gprot, allP<0.05. Compared with Control group, High dose atorvastatin group presented higher post-operative HSP90 mRNA expression (0.466 ± 0.158) vs (0.224 ± 0.278 ) and protein concentration (1259.83 ± 121.17) pg/ml vs (1195.0 ± 127.65) pg/ml, allP<0.05. The incidence rate of CIN was lower in High dose atorvastatin group (2.5%) than Control group (10.3%),P<0.05. Conclusion: A high dose atorvastatin administration before emergent PCI may decrease CIN occurrence rate. Atorvastatin may promote HSP90 expression, increase NO produciton, then improve the vascular endothelial function and anti-oxidative ability to protect the renal function in STEMI patients.

Objective To discuss nursing service and charge in order to establish standard and perfect nursing cost accounting system. Methods Nursing charge was described through analyzing the nursing technology during treatment of long-term hospitalization patients and no charge of disposable items. Results Nursing work was nearly a no-reward technological service, the proportion and the standard of nursing charge was low, the charge of nursing items was incomplete, labor cost was neglected and nursing value could not be really embodied. Conclusions Nursing managers should strengthen the nursing cost management in order to establish perfect and standard nursing cost accounting system.

Objective To investigate the changes of blood test indexes in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) after 10 years of rehabilitation, and to evaluate the effects of SARS on blood system. Methods Twenty-five cases of SARS confirmed in our hospital (SARS group) and 25 healthy personnel (control group) were included in this study. Values of blood routine test, liver and kidney function, blood lipids, blood glucose, thyroid function, tumor marker and T cell subset index were compared between two groups. Results The serum level of calcium was higher in SARS group than that of control group (mmol/L:2.32 ± 0.08 vs. 2.29 ± 0.08,t=2.072,P<0.05). The level of thyroxine was also higher in SARS group than that of control group (nmol/L: 119.95 ± 29.09 vs. 96.39 ± 14.26, t=3.681,P<0.05), but the results were in the normal range, there was no clinical significance. The level of neuron specific enolase (NSE) was higher in SARS group than that of control group (μg/L, 10.368 ± 3.684 vs. 3.282 ± 1.828, t=9.012, P<0.05), in which only 2 cases were slightly higher than the normal range, but did not exceed more than 1 times of the normal value. The imaging was only part of the old change, and there was no clinical significance. There were no significant differences in other results between two groups. Conclusion Virus of SARS cause no long-term effects on blood system, liver and kidney function, thyroid function and immunity in patients with SARS, and do not increase the probability of cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of different amounts of iodine intake on the cellular and humoral immune in Grave's disease (GD) patients.MethodsThe clinical GD cases were diagnosed by thyroid fine needle Cytology examination.Patients in GD group are divided into GD group Ⅰ and GD group Ⅱ based on the median of urine iodine.The blood levels of FT4,FT3,TSH,TPOAb,TGAb,TRAb and TNF-t were detected.The difference and association of these parameters between these groups were analyzed.ResultsThe TNF-αt level in GD Ⅰ group was higher than that of GD Ⅱ group( P ＞ 0.05 ) ;The average level of TRAb of GD Ⅰgroup ( [ 1.4 ±0.2 ] U/L) were higher than that of GD Ⅱ group ( [ 1.2 ± 0.1 ] U/L) ( P ＜ 0.05 ) ;The positive rates of TGAb and TPOAb of GD Ⅰ group were higher than that of GD Ⅱ group ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The percentages of patients with high level of TGAb and TPOAb in GD Ⅰ group ( 78.9％ 、84.2％ ) were higher than that in GD Ⅱ group (50.0％,62.5％ ) ( x2 =6.79,10.70,P ＜0.05 ) ; Analysis showed a linear positive correlation of TNF-αwith TRAb and TPOAb ( r is 0.489 and 0.563,P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionIodine is an important factor to the development of Graves disease.Excessive iodine intake will exaggerate the GD condition and patients with GD should be controlled for iodine intake.

Objective To study the relationship between cellular immunity in vivo,humoral immunity and different iodine intakes in patients with hashimoto thyroiditis(HT).Methods Seventy-six HT patients were divided into two groups acconding to the median of urine iodine (MUI =491.20 μ g/L):HT I group (urine iodine≥MUI) with 37 cases and HT Ⅱ group (urine iodine ＜ MUI) with 39 cases.And 49healthy persons were selected as control group.The level of free three triiodothyronine (FT3),free thyroxine (FT4),thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH),thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb),thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb),thyroid hormone receptor antibody ( TRAb ),tumor necrosis factor-alpha ( TNF- α )of all groups were detected.Results The levels of FT3 and FT4 in HT I group [ (2.67 ± 1.93 ),( 4.22 ± 3.77) pmol/L ]and HT Ⅱ group [ ( 3.19 ± 1.63 ),( 5.99 ± 3.97 ) pmol/L ] were significantly lower than those in control group [(5.30± 1.10),(16.50 ±2.70) pmol/L] (P ＜ 0.01).The levels of TNF-α in HT I group [(6.14 ± 1.83)ng/L] and HT Ⅱ group [ (6.09 ± 1.50) ng/L] were both obviously higher than that in control group [ ( 1.90 ±0.60) ng/L] (P ＜ 0.01 ).The levels of FT3 and FT4 were lower and TNF α was higher in HT I group than those in HT Ⅱ group,but there was no statistically significance (P ＞ 0.05 ).The positive rate of TPOAb,TGAb in HT I group [97.3％(36/37),81.1％(30/37)] and HT Ⅱ group [89.7％(35/39),74.4％(29/39)]were significantly higher than those in contnol group [ 18.4％(9/49),12.2％(6/49 ) ] (P ＜ 0.01 ).There was no statistically difference of the positive rate of TPOAb,TGAb and TRAb between HT I group and HT Ⅱ group (P ＞ 0.05).While the percentage of patients with high titer of TPOAb and TGAb in HT I group was higher than that in HT [Ⅱ group,and there was statistical difference(P ＜ 0.05 ).The level of TRAb in HT I group was higher than that in HT Ⅱ group [ ( 1.25 ± 0.14) mU/L vs.( 1.16 ± 0.21 ) mU/L ],but there was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Correlated anlysis showed that FT3 was negatively correlated with TGAb and TPOAb (r =0.342,-0.397,P ＜0.05),and TNF-αwas positively correhted with TGAb and TPOAb (r =0.405,0.561,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions High iodine intake influences the autoimmune mechanism of HT patients.The iodine intake should be limited in HT patients.

Objective: To investigate the effect of matrine (Ma) on telomerase activity and cell cycle in hepatoma cell line HepG 2 cells. Methods: TRAP ELISA method was used to determine the telomerase activity in HepG 2 cells which were treated with different concentrations of Ma. Plasmid inserted with 800 bp of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) promoter was transiently transfected into HepG 2 cells by lipofect. Different concentrations of Ma were added into culture media 2 h later, and the activity of the hTERT promoter was tested 48 h after transfection. In addition, the percentages of HepG 2 cells in different cell cycle were determined by the flow cytometry on the 24, 48 and 72 h respectively after adding the different concentrations of Ma. Results: The telomerase activity of HepG 2 was suppressed by Ma at the dose of 750 ?g/ml and the expression of hTERT promoter was also inhibited. The percentage of G 0/G 1 stage cells increased and the percentage of S and G 2/M stages cells decreased in both 500 ?g /ml and 750 ?g /ml groups 48 and 72 h after Ma was added. Conclusion: Ma may have inhibitory effect on hTERT promoter expression, which is related to the telomerase activity and cell cycle regulation.

Objective To understand the application of drug eluting stent (DES) in renal functional insufficient patients, and to assess its safety and effectiveness, especially the occurrence of stent thrombosis(ST) after DES implantation and its related factors. Methods The subjects were all the patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as well as at least one DES admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital consecutively from July 2003 to June 2005. All patients were divided into 2 groups: Group Ⅰ with normal or mild renal insufficiency (Ccr≥60 ml/min),and Group Ⅱ with moderate to severe renal functional insufficiency (Ccr ＜ 60 ml/min). All of the clinical, angiography and intervention data were recorded. ST was adjudicated by the definition of ARC Dublin. The rates of MACCE in hospital and during the follow-up between the 2 groups were compared. Results There were 2377 patients enrolled in the study, of which 2020 ( 85.0% ) patients presented Ccr ≥ 60 ml/min, and 357( 15.0% ) presented Ccr ＜ 60ml/min. The case fatality during follow-up in group Ⅰ was significantly higher than that in group Ⅱ (4. 5% vs. 1.2%, P ＜ 0. 001 ). However, the incidences of ST were not significantly different between each stage of disease( P ＞0. 05 ). The results from Cox regression showed that renal functional insufficiency was not a risk factor of death,whereas multivessel coronary artery disease [OR = 1. 929(95% CI: 1. 178 -3. 157),P =0. 009] ,diabetes [OR = 1. 914(95% CI:1. 055 -3. 470) ,P =0. 033] and age [OR = 1. 051 (95% CI:1. 005 -1. 099 ) ,P = 0. 030] were independent risk factor of death after DES implantation in patients with moderate to severe renal functional insufficiency. Conclusions Compared with normal renal function or mild renal patients, the longterm case fatality is higher in moderate and severe renal functional insufficiency patients. However, the higher case fatality does not due to the increase of ST.

Objective To evaluate the short-term and long-term outcomes of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) compared with those with non-STEMI after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Method The DESIRE Ⅱ (Drug-Eluting Stent Impact on Revascularization Ⅱ) was a single-center registered retrospective study of coronary revascularization in our institution between July 2003 and September 2009.Data of demographics, clinical features and revascularization record of STEMI and non-STEMI patients from the DESIRE Ⅱ trial were analyzed. The patients were followed up in OPD or by telephone after discharge. MACCE (major adverse cardiocerebral events) including death, neo-myocardial infarction, stroke and revascularization were recorded. The clinical outcomes of patients of two types were evaluated. Results There were 6005 patients studied with a median follow-up of 566 days. A total of 1009 STEMI and non-STEMI patients were analyzed. The patients with non-STEMI ( n = 206) had higher prevalence of hypertension and history of higher frequency of myocardial infarction as well as revascularization compared with patients with STEMI ( n = 803). The patients with non-STEMI had higher ratio of treatment for multivessel disease (43.7% vs. 34.4%, P = 0.039). There were no significant differences in in-hospital mortality and long-term outcomes (one year survival rate: 96% vs. 98%)between patients with STEMI and non-STEMI. The predictors of 1-year mortality were LVEF and blood creatine.Conclusions Despite different chnical features, patients with STEMI and non-STEMI after PCI had similar both short-term and long-term outcomes.
