1.Association study of coagulation factor Ⅺ gene polymorphism and deep vein thrombosis susceptibility
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics 2016;36(10):634-639
Deep vein thrombosis is one of venous thromboembolism clinical manifestations,but also a serious,potentially dangerous disease.Thrombosis can occur in various parts of the body veins,and deep venous thrombosis is the most common.Even though most patients with DVT have no clinical symptoms or with mild symptoms,but failure to timely appropriate treatment is easy to progress to post thrombotic syndrome,shares bruises,stock white swollen,which can occur in severe pulmonary embolism and cause death.Although clinically in a variety of measures to prevent DVT formation,including physical prevention and drug prevention,but the incidence of deep vein thrombosis remains high,9-36% after total hip arthroplasty,and 52% after total knee arthroplasty.DVT is a disease combined with genetic and non-genetic factors,60% DVT patients have hereditary risk factors.Currently genetic factors on the formation of DVT study find that clotting factor Ⅺ gene polymorphisms is associated with DVT.Coagulation factor Ⅺ (F Ⅺ) is a serine protease synthesized by the liver and plays an important role in the coagulation cascade process such as maintain the amplification process and the intrinsic pathway.Research on correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of F Ⅺ locus rs2289252 and rs2036914 and deep vein thrombosis has become popular.This paper reviews the discovery of coagulation F Ⅺ single nucleotide polymorphism associated with DVT,the degree of association between coagulation F Ⅺ single nucleotide polymorphism and the formation of DVT,risk allele on the clotting F Ⅺ single nucleotide polymorphism,clinical trials of coagulation F Ⅺ and the formation of DVT,coagulation F Ⅺ single nucleotide polymorphisms interact with other genetic polymorphisms,etc.Although the single nucleotide polymorphism in DVT formation mechanism is still vague,we believe that further study of single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with DVT will provide new approaches to prevention and treatment of DVT.

3.CYP1A1 Gene Mutation and Susceptibility to Lung Cancer
Basic & Clinical Medicine 1999;19(5):389-393
Individual susceptibility to cancer induced by environmental agents may be influenced by polymorphic metabolic genes responsible for the activation or detoxification of carcinogens.The association between genetic polymorphisms in cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) and lung cancer susceptibility has been extensively studied.The various CYP1A1 alleles exhibit population frequencies that depend on race and ethnicity.An increased risk of lung cancer in Asians was found to be associated with genetic polymorphisms in CYP1A1.However,reports from Caucasians are not consistant,probably suggesting the ethnic-sepecific effect of the polymorphisms in the locus on the cancer.Evidence also exists for the association between levels of carcinogen-DNA adducts or frequency of oncogene and tumor suppressor gene mutations and CYP1A1 polymorphisms.These findings provide a better understanding of the relationship between CYP1A1 and lung cancer susceptibility.
4.The role of PPARγin Alzheimer′s disease and its impact factors
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2015;(9):989-994
Alzheimer′s disease ( AD) , is a neurodegenerative disorder of the brain that is characterized by loss of memory and cognitive decline.At present, AD etiology remains unclear and there are no effective prevention and treatment measures in clinical practice.Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptorγ( PPARγ) is a ligand-regulated nuclear hormone receptor.Recent studies showed PPARγ-pathway played an important role in the pathogenesis of AD and some PPARγagonists have been proven to be neuroprotective in vitro and in vivo models.This paper reviews the roles of PPARγand related mechanisms in AD, summarizes affecting factors about PPARγpathway.Particularly, the effect of cyanidin-3-O-glucoside ( Cy3G) , one of the anthocyanidin glycoside forms, is a compound of naturally occurring phenolic compounds, suggesting the neuroprotective effect of Cy3G might be used as a potential natural PPARγagonist in the nervous system.
5.Noncompetitive antagonists and agonists of glutamate receptor regulate filopodia formation in epidermal cells and melanosome transfer: an experimental study
Chinese Journal of Dermatology 2013;46(12):871-876
Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of glutamate signaling pathway on filopodia formation in epidermal cells and on melanosome transfer.Methods Epidermal melanocytes and keratinocytes were isolated from human foreskin and subjected to subculture.After two to three passages of subculture,the melanocytes and keratinocytes were cultured alone or in combination with or without the presence of MK801 (an antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor) of 100 μmol/L,or NMDA (the activator of NMDA receptor) of 100 μmol/L,for 24 hours.The melanocytes irradiated with UVB at 311 nm served as the control.Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the appearance of filopodia and dendrites of melanocytes and keratinocytes.Melanosome transfer was visualized under confocal laser scanning microscopy after double immunofluorescent staining.Results Although no obvious changes were observed in the number of dendrites in monocultured melanocytes after treatment with MK801 or NMDA for 24 hours,dendrites became thinner at the terminus and longer with a decrease in the number and length of filopodia after MK801 treatment,but thicker and shorter with an increase in the number and length of filopodia after NMDA treatment compared with untreated monocultured melanocytes.In the coculture system,filopodia were observed between the untreated melanocytes and keratinocytes,and the number of filopodia in melanocytes was larger in the side adjacent to keratinocytes than in the opposite side.Compared with the untreated coculture system,the number of both filopodia connecting melanocytes and keratinocytes and filopodia extending from melanocytes to keratinocytes decreased in the coculture system after treatment with MK801 of 100 μmol/L,but increased after treatment with NMDA of 100 μmol/L,for 24 hours.Melanosomes were found in keratinocytes cocultured with melanocytes without treatment,which were decreased in number after 24-hour treatment with MK801 of 100 μmol/L,but increased in number and even present in keratinocytes nonadiacent to melanocytes after 24-hour treatment with NMDA of 100 μmol/L.Conclusion Glutamate signaling pathway may modulate the transfer of melanosomes from melanocytes to keratinocytes via modulating the appearance of melanocyte dendrites and formation of filopodia.

ObjectiveTo explore the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation in chronic complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).Methods124 patients with chronic complications of type 2 DM were scored by 5 grades according as the severities of their symptoms. There were 5 kinds of patterns such as deficiency of Qi, deficiency of Yin, deficiency of Yang, blood stasis and retention of phlegm and fluid by which the TCM syndrome differentiation was generalized.ResultsThe sequence of TCM patterns was deficiency of Yin, blood stasis, deficiency of Qi, deficiency of Yang and retention of phlegm and fluid, and the syndrome of the two formers were greater than 50%. The proportion of unity of deficient and excessive pattern was 80.5%. Three larger syndrome types were deficiency of both Yin and Yang combined with blood stasis (17.7%), Qi-Yin deficiency with blood stasis ( 16.9 %) and Yin deficiency with blood stasis (16.9%). There was a statistically significant difference in TCM syndromes which were divided into different groups by course of diseases (P<0.05). At onset of DM, the typical symptoms were less observed in the group whose course of disease was less than 5 years, and only 39.1% of patients had the typical symptoms. But at the same time, the prevalences of hypertension and hyperlipidemia were higher in this group than in the others, respectively 63.0% and 87.0%.ConclusionThe primary syndrome is unity of deficient and excessive pattern in chronic complications of type 2 DM and deficiency of Qi and blood stasis are the commonest patterns in course of DM.

Objective To study the effects of allopurinol in different dose on the cardiac function of chronic heart failure rats induced by adrimycin. To explore dose-dependency of allopurinol in improving blood vessel endothe-lium function and cardiac ventricle remodeling of the rats heart, as to supply evidence and new sight in clinical treat-ment of congestive heart failure. Methods 40 Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group (group A)、model control group (group B)、low-dose allopurinol group (group C)、high-dose allopurinol group (group D). The heart failure model was made by administering adriamycin to rats. After the model myocardial pathological changes were detected. Results Compared with the normal control group, the weight and heart weight of rats in model control group and allopurinol groups were obviously lessen (group A=(300.10± 9.85)g,group B=(200.67±9.91)g, group C=(233.14±9.42)g,group D=(248.25±13.34) g;group A= (828.30±50.97) nag, group B=(681.50±16.97) mg, group C=(743.00±17.20) nag, group D=(784.88± 36.83) mg,P<0.05). Heart weight indexes were all incerased ( group A=(2.76±0.15) mg/g, group B=(3.41± 0.17) mg/g, group C=(3.26±0.76) mg/g, group D=(3.11±0.65) mg/g, P<0.05). The hemedynamics resuh showed that myocardial contractile force were enhanced in drug groups. The level of NO, SOD were increased in the allopurinol groups compared with the model control group (group B: NO=(41.55±6.28) μmol/L, group C: NO= (52.47±5.59) μmoL/L,group D:NO=(61.04±4.26) μmoL/L; group B:SOD=(63.83±6.40) U/ml,group C: SOD=(76.29±7.99) U/ml, group D: SOD=(100.13±7.43) U/ml, P<0.05) and MDA levels were obviously decreased (group B: MDA=(9.70±1.08) μmol/L, group C: MDA=(6.64±0.34) μmol/L, group D: MDA= (5.72±0.71)p.moVL,P<0.05). The level of NO, SOD were obviously increased in the allopurinol of high-dose group compared with low-dose allopurinol group(P<0.05). MDA levels were obviously decreased(P<0.05). The myocardial pathological changes were relieved obviously in the allopufinol groups. Conclusion Allopurinol improves blood vessel endothelium function dose-dependently. High-dese allopurinol obviously decreases MDA, improve NO, SOD, thereby can improve the cardiac function of heart failure.
