DNA methylation is part of the epigenetic modification process,which can lead to aberrant gene expression. Cytochrome P450 enzyme,cyclooxygenase,lipoxygenase and monoamine oxidase are a class of enzymes produced by human tissues,which are involved in the oxidization pro?cess of endogenous and exogenous chemicals. The methylation patterns of these enzyme genes are dif?ferent between normal tissues and pathological ones. Abnormal methylation patterns will change en?zymes′expression and function,and affect the occurrence and development of diseases. This paper re?viewed the characteristic changes of four oxidative metabolic enzyme genes in certain diseased tis?sues,the impact on methylation status of the metabolic activity of chemicals and on human health. It is hoped that this review can provide a new theoretical basis for the study on the toxic mechanism of chemicals and for diagnosis of diseases.

Objective To valuate different effects in hepatectomy of three inflow occlusion methods including pringle maneuver, hemihepatic occlusion and portal venous occlusion. Methods 180 patients undergoing hepatectomy were randomly assigned to pringle group (group A), hemehepatic occlusion group (group B)or PV occlusion group (group C). The amount of blood lost, measurements of liver enzymes alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspirate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TB), Serum albumin (ALB) and postoperative complication were also recorded. Results There was no operative mortality. One patient in group B changed into pringle maneuver due to the difficulties in dissecting the hemi-hepatic portal and was excluded. The amount of hemorrhage of three groups had no statistical difference. The ALT, AST, ALB and TB level of 1,3,7 days after operation had significant differences in three groups. The pringle group had a higher level ALT,AST,TB and lower ALB level than the other two groups. Conclusions All techniques of occlusion are effective and feasible for patients undergoing hepatectomies. However, compared with pringle maneuver, PV clamping and hemihepatic occlusion can relieve the liver function damage after hepatectomy.
