Objective To study the relationship between osteoporotic hip fracture (OHF) and polymorphism of cytochrome P450c19 genes. Methods By using a group correlation analysis, we made a case-control study of seven single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites groupinge and haplotype in 400 OHF patients from Shaanxi Guanzhong population and 400 normal samples as controls. Results A total of 700 samples were successfully genotyped. Correlation analysis identified three blocks and selected seven tag SNPs. According to the variance analysis, rs7167343, rs8031463, and polymorphism of haplotype 3 were associated with hip fracture. Conclusion Cytochrome P450c19 genes have association with the incidence of osteoporotic fracture in the Han population we studied from Shaanxi Guanzhong region. Therefore, cytochrome P450c19 genes may affect the incidence of osteoporotic hip fracture in the Han population from Guanzhong region, Shaanxi Province.

Objective To study effects of oligo-peptide I-C-F-6 in carapax trionycis on rats with liver fibrosis induced by CCl4;To discuss its anti-liver fibrosis effects and possible mechanisms. Methods Forty-eight SD male rats were randomly divided into normal control group, model group, bifendate group, and oligo-peptide I-C-F-6 group, 12 in each group.CCl4 was injected intraperitoneally to build rat liver fibrosis model.Oligo-peptide I-C-F-6 group and bifendate group were given subcutaneous injection of oligo-peptide I-C-F-6 (0.12μg/g) or bifendate (0.12μg/g). At the same time, normal control group and model group were giventhe same volume of saline for seven weeks. The levels ofALT, AST,MDA, SOD, IL-4, IL-10 and TNF-α were tested.The histomorphology changes were observed under optical microscopeby HE, and the expressions of transforming growth TGF-β1 were determined by immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with model group, serum levels of ALT and AST were reduced evidently in oligo-peptide I-C-F-6 group. Hepatic content of MDA, IL-4 and TNF-α decreased, while SOD activity and IL-10 were found significantly increased. Liver fibrosis was ameliorated significantly. Hepatic expressions of TGF-β1 were weakly positive.Conclusion Oligo-peptide I-C-F-6 can ameliorate hepatocyte damage of model rats, thus it has anti-oxidative and anti-liver fibrosis effects on liver fibrosis in rats.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the status of eight RHD specific exons in 131 Han Chinese blood donors who were classified as RhD-negative by serological methods and explore the genomic structure of RHD gene among the Han Chinese. The Rh blood group system has the highest prevalence of polymorphisms among human blood group systems and is clinically significant in transfusion medicine. The Rh antigens are expressed on polypeptides encoded by two highly homologous genes, RHD and RHCE. Recent molecular studies have shown that the RhD-negative trait could be generated by multiple genetic mechanisms and is ethnic group-dependent.
METHODSThe polymerase chain reaction using-sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) was used to amplify exons 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10 of RHD gene and exons 1, 2 and 5 of RHCE gene, as well as intron 4 in each of them.
RESULTSThe 131 cases of RhD-negative phenotypes consisted of 60 ccee, 58 Ccee, 5 ccEe, 5 CcEe and 3 CCee. Among them, 83 with the Rh ccee or ccEe phenotypes (63.4%) lacked the eight RHD exons indicated above, while 26 cases with the Rh Ccee, CCee, CcEe phenotypes (19.9%) had all the RHD exons examined. Twenty-two individuals with the Ccee, CCee, CcEe phenotypes (16.8%) carried at least one RHD exon. The phenotypes of the RhD negative individuals carrying the RHD gene were Rh CC or Cc, but not cc.
CONCLUSIONSThree classes of RhD-negative polymorphisms among a population of Han Chinese were observed. Antigen association analysis suggested the existence of a novel class of RhD-negative associated haplotype in Han Chinese. This haplotype consisted of a normal RHCE allele and a nonfunctional RHD gene. It may be beneficial to redefine the RhD-negative blood group among Chinese populations upon clarification of the mechanisms of RHD gene expression and RhD antigen immunization.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic choledochoscopy combined with holmium laser lithotripsy through a meta-analysis. MethodsThis study was conducted based on PRISMA guidelines, with a PROSPERO registration number of CRD42023406221. Chinese databases including CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP and foreign language databases such as PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched for original articles on traditional laparotomy versus laparoscopic choledochoscopy combined with holmium laser lithotripsy in the treatment of bile duct stones. Dichotomous variables were assessed by odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI), while continuous variables were assessed by weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95%CI, and a sensitivity analysis was performed for outcome measures with relatively high heterogeneity. The Begg test and Egger test were used to evaluate publication bias. Stata 15.0 and Review Manager 5.3 were used to perform the statistical analysis. ResultsA total of 26 retrospective studies from China were included in this study, with 2 238 patients in total. The meta-analysis showed that compared with traditional laparotomy for the treatment of bile duct stones, laparoscopic choledochoscopy combined with holmium laser lithotripsy had significantly shorter time of operation (WMD=-1.26, 95%CI: -1.36 to -1.16, P<0.001), length of hospital stay (WMD=-1.93, 95%CI: -2.64 to -1.12, P <0.001), and time to bowel function recovery (WMD=-1.52, 95%CI: -1.68 to -1.35, P<0.001), significantly less intraoperative blood loss (WMD=-1.79, 95%CI: -1.93 to -1.66, P<0.001), a significantly lower rate of intraoperative residual stone (OR=0.15, 95%CI: 0.11-0.20, P<0.001), and significantly fewer complications (OR=0.17, 95%CI: 0.13-0.23, P<0.001). ConclusionCompared with traditional laparotomy, laparoscopic choledochoscopy combined with holmium laser lithotripsy shows better efficacy in the treatment of bile duct stones.
