Objective To study the 2244G→A, 2299 A→G single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the 5' regulatory regions of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in patients with Gram negative bacteria infection in Shenzhen locality, and to discuss the occurrence, course and prognosis of patients with sepsis. Method Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used to detect the genotype of TLR4. After the whole blood DNA of patient was extracted and PCR was amplified, the products were 500bp and 599 bp, and were cut by endonuclease Mae Ⅱ and Sph Ⅰ respectively to determine the SNP 2244G→A and 2299 A→G in TLR4. These two kinds of allele frequencies were statistically calculated in all patients. In the meantime, the incidence of septic shock, average hospitalized days, cost and prognosis of all patients were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS version 16 software. ANOVA was used for comparison among multiple groups, and t -test and Sighed rank test were used for paired comparison. Results The 2299 and 2244 sites in the 5' regulatory regions of TLR4 gene of patients with Gram negative bacteria infection in Shenzhen locality had various degrees of changes in single nucleotide. Compared with the documented data from Chinese people in general, there was a significant difference in 2299A→G genotype frequency in residents of Shenzhen locality ( P < 0.05). But there were no statistically significant difference in mortality, incidence of septic shock, average days of ICU stay or ICU cost between TLR4 SNP positive and negative groups of patients. Conclusions There is a wide range of genetic variation in the 2299 and 2244 sites in the 5' regulatory regions of TLR4 among citizens of Shenzhen locality with unique distribution. The 2299A→G genotype frequency probably has differences in distribution and population. The pathogenesis and the prognostic factors of sepsis are complicated, whereas the gene polymorphism may be just one of the factors affecting the prognosis of patients with Gram negative bacteria infection.

8. Value of ultrasound in twin pregnancies during early trimmest
Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2019;35(8):1229-1233
Objective:To explore the value of ultrasound in screening of twin pregnancies during early trimmest (11-13+6 weeks). Methods: Totally 196 twin pregnant women who received prenatal ultrasonography at 11-13+6 weeks were enrolled, among them the twins were classified as chorionic and amniotic. The fetal-rump length and nuchal translucency (NT) were measured, the fetal structures were examined systematically to detect structural abnormalities, and the pregnancy outcomes were followed up. Results: Among 196 twin pregnant women, dichorionic and diamniotic (DCDA) twins were found in 149 women, monochorionic and diamniotic (MCDA) twins were found in 43 women, while monochorionic and monoamniotic (MCMA) twins were observed in 4 women. Ultrasonography showed that 36 pregnant women had abnormal fetuses, including 30 DCDA twins, 4 MCDA twins and 2 MCMA twins. A total of 30 abnormal fetuses were detected in DCDA twins, all were one of the twins, including one with spine and lower limbs abnormally developed, one with neck water cyst, one of twins stopped developing in 25 cases and one of twins with thickened NT in 3 cases. A total of 6 abnormal fetuses were detected in MCDA twins, including one fetus without cardiac twins sequence, one of twins with neck water cyst in one case, one of the twins stopped developing and the other with neck water cyst in one case, and both twins stopped developing in one case. Among MCMA twins, encephalomeningocele was found in one of twins in one case, while conjoined twins were detected in one case. Conclusion: Ultrasound screening plays a very important role in diagnosing chorionic and amniotic, detecting fetal structural abnormalities and complications of twins during early trimmest.

AIM:Atherosclerotic calcification is highly linked with plaque instability and cardiovascular events .Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase ( AMPK) has been involved in the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular disease .The contributions of AMPKαsubunits to the development of atherosclerotic calcification in vivo remained unknown .We hypothesized that AMPKαsubunits may play a role in the development of atherosclerotic calcification .METHODS: Atherosclerotic calcification was generated by 24-week fed of western diet in ApoE-/-background mice .Calcification was evaluated in aortic roots and innominate arteries of ApoE-/-mice or in mice with dual deficiencies of ApoE and AMPKαsubunits globally ( AMPKα1 and AMPKα2 ) , or vascular smooth muscle cell ( VSMC)-specific or macrophage-specific knockout of AMPKα1 with atherosclerotic calcification pone diet . The mechanism of AMPKα1 in regulating Runx2 was further explored in human aortic VSMC .RESULTS: Ablation of AMPKα1 but not AMPKα2 in ApoE-/-background promoted atherosclerotic calcification with increased Runt -related transcription factor ( Runx2 ) expression in VSMC compared with ApoE-/-mice.Conversely, chronic administration of metformin, which activated AMPK, markedly reduced ath-erosclerotic calcification and Runx2 expression in ApoE-/-mice but had less effects in ApoE-/-/AMPKα1 -/-mice.Furthermore, VSMC-but not macrophage-specific deficiency of AMPKα1 in ApoE-/-background promoted atherosclerotic calcification in vivo com-pared with the controls .AMPKα1 silencing in human aortic VSMC prevented Runx 2 from proteasome degradation to trigger osteoblastic differentiation of VSMC .Conversely , activation of AMPK led to Runx 2 instability by inducing its small ubiquitin-like modifier modifi-cation (SUMOylation).Protein inhibitor of activated STAT-1 (PIAS1), the SUMO E3-ligase of Runx2, was directly phosphorylated by
AMPKα1 at serine 510, to enhance its SUMO E3-ligase activity.Ablation of PIAS1 serine 510 phosphorylation inhibited metformin-in-duced Runx2 SUMOylation, and subsequently prevented the effect of metformin on reducing oxLDL-triggered Runx2 expression in hu-man aortic VSMC.CONCLUSION:Deficiency of AMPKα1 in VSMC increases Runx2 expression and promotes atherosclerotic calcifi-cation in vivo.AMPKα1 phosphorylates PIAS1 to enhance Runx2 SUMOyalation and subsequent degradation .
