Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are noncoding RNAs with lengths exceeding 200 bp. These lncRNAs cannot code complete proteins but control gene expression. Recent studies have shown that lncRNAs are closely related to the diagnosis, prognosis, and drug resistance of gastric cancer. This article summarizes the recent progress of studies in China and abroad on lncRNAs relative to the diagnosis, prognosis, and drug resistance of gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the genetic association of MTHFRC677T between CBS844ins68 polymorphism and young ischemic stroke.Methods The polymorphism of MTHFRC677T and CBS844ins68 in 98 stroke patients and 116 control subjects were examined and analyzed by using PCR-RFLP.Results The frequencies of two alleles were as follows: T allele 54.09%,C allele 45.91% in patients and T 37.93%,C 62.07% in controls(?2=11.18,P

ObjectiveTo study the relationship between the susceptibility of mutiple sclerosis (MS) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) rs6897932 of interleukin-7 receptor alpha (IL-7RA) in Asian.MethodsThe SNP rs6897932 in the IL-7RA gene was genotyped by real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays. 78 cases with MS and neuromyelitis optica (NMO), 187 patients with non-NMO MS and 158 healthy controls were enrolled.ResultsThe frequencies of both the C allele and the CC genotype of SNP rs6897932 in the IL-7RA gene in non-NMO MS patients were higher than those of healthy controls(89.3％ vs. 79.8％, OR=2.12, 95％CI:1.38-3.25 P＜0.01; 78.6％ vs. 63.3％, OR=2.13,95％CI:1.32-3.43, P＜0.01).However, there was no significant difference in the frequency of either the C allele or the CC genotype between control group and NMO patients.ConclusionsIL-7RA gene is one of susceptibility gene for MS in Asian. C allele was presumed as a risk factor of MS while T allele might be a protective factor.

CYP2D6 genetic polymorphism results in individual difference of therapeutic effect and adverse reaction of related drugs this article made an overview for that.

Objective:To explore therapeutic effect of bisoprolol with CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 gene targeting therapy for hypertension .Methods :A total of 100 cases with essential hypertension (EH) were selected ,among them 20 ca-ses were randomly chosen to receive routine medication (bisoprolol 5 mg/d ,routine treatment group ) ,the other 80 patients were equally divided into group A (CYP2D6*10) and group B (CYP3A4*1G) .According to detection results of CYP2D6*10 and CYP3A4*1G gene polymorphism ,they were dived into group ACC (n=13) ,group ACT (n=14) ,group ATT (n=10) ,group BCC (n=21) ,group BCT (n=17) and group BTT (n=0) .Bisoprolol dosage was adjusted according to genotypes :group ACC and group BCC received 10 mg/d ,group ACT and group BCT received 5 mg/d ,group ATT and group BTT received 2.5 mg/d .Blood drug concentration ,blood pressure and heart rate were compared among above groups after two weeks .Relationship between plasma concentration of bisoprolol and gene polymorphism of drug metabolism enzyme was evaluated .Results:Comparison between related groups with same bi-soprolol dosage :there were no significant difference in blood drug concentration ,heart rate and blood pressure be-tween ACT and routine treatment group , P>0.05 all;compared with routine treatment group ,there was significant rise in blood drug concentration [ (33.5 ± 19.1) ng/ml vs .(50.13 ± 23.21) ng/ml] ,significant reduction in heart rate [ (71.4 ± 5.16) times/min vs .(66.5 ± 6.04) times/min] and blood pressure [ (127.22 ± 10.44/82.4 ± 7.27) mmHg vs .(119.48 ± 11.97/71.2 ± 10.30) mmHg] in BCT group , P<0.05 all .Conclusion:Because gene possesses polymorphism ,therapeutic effect of bisoprolol treating hypertension is differing ;the gene targeting therapy may significantly improve therapeutic effect for hypertension .

Objective: To study the relationship between CYP2D6*10 gene polymorphism and metoprolol therapeutic effect for hypertension. Methods: A total of 60 patients with essential hypertension (EH) received metoprolol 47.5mg/d for 3d. After 3d the plasma metoprolol concentration after oral 2h was measured. Polymorphism of CYP2D6*10 gene was detected by PCR-RFLP. According to results of gene detection, the patients were divided into CC genotype group (wild type homozygote, fast metabolism type, n=14), CT genotype group (heterozygous mutation, intermediate metabolism type, n=25) and TT genotype group (homozygous mutation, slow metabolism, n=19). Metoprolol dosage was adjusted according to CYP2D6*10 genotype. After one week, plasma concentration of metoprolol after oral 2h was measured again, and mean heart rate and blood pressure were measured before and after gene-directed therapy. Results: Before gene-directed therapy, compared with CC and CT group there was significant increase in plasma concentration of metoprolol [(26.57±19.40) ng/ml vs. (23.88±12.86) ng/ml vs. (64.74±32.94) ng/ml, P<0.01] in TT group; compared with TT group, there were significant rise in mean systolic blood pressure [mSBP, (132.84±13.40) mmHg vs. (144.14±14.28) mmHg], mean diastolic blood pressure [mDBP, (76.95±9.07) mmHg vs. (81.36±7.33) mmHg] and mean heart rate [mHR, (69.13±11.83) times/min vs. (76.66±7.33) times/min] in CC group, P<0.05 all. After gene-directed therapy, there were no significant difference in plasma concentration of metoprolol, mSBP, mDBP and mHR among all groups, P>0.05 all; Compared with before gene-directed therapy, there was significant increase in plasma concentration of metoprolol, and significant decrease in mSBP, mDBP and mHR in CC group (P<0.05). There were no significant difference in blood pressure and heart rate between before and after treatment in CT group and TT group (P>0.05). Conclusion: CYP2D6*10 gene polymorphism affects metoprolol metabolism and its therapeutic effect on hypertension, gene-directed therapy can significantly improve drug therapeutic effect and reach ideal therapeutic goal in short time.

The yield of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) on high-cell-density fermentation by saccharomyces cerevisiae is mostly affected by the feeding strategy of pre-L-methionine. The mutant strain SAM0801 that could accumulate more SAM was used in this study. Six high-cell-density fermentation experiments in 5 L fermentor were investigated to get the optimal feeding time and amount of L-methionine. The results showed that when 40 g L-methionine was added in the fermentor after 30 h fermentation, a dry cell weight of 100 g/L was achieved. Under this condition, after 58 h fermentation, both the dry cell weight and the yield of SAM reached the maximum, 168 g/L and 14.48 g/L respectively.

[Objective]To investigate the expression change of miR-134 in methamphetamine(MA)-induced neuronal injury in PC12 cells and its effect on neuronal excitability and understand the pathogenesis of methamphetamine-induced neuronal injury.[Methods]PC12 cells in the logarithmic phase were divided into control group and MA group. The MA group was treated with 800μmol/L MA to establish the model of neuronal injury. The cellular injury was observed under microscope. The neuronal apoptosis was detected by Hoechst3342/PI double staining,and miR-134 expression was measured by using real-time quantitative PCR (Real time-PCR). Furthermore,we constructed miR-134 interference vector and observed its effect on evoked action potential.[Results]The cultured PC12 cells were damaged under the 800 μmol/LMA treatment ,and neurites became shorter ,the apoptotic cells were evidence. Real time-PCR showed that miR-134 expression was increased after MA treatment. Electrophysiological data showed that the evoked action potential increased after miR-134 interference.[Conclusions]High concentration of MA can induce neuronal damage and apoptosis and also increase miR-134 expression. While silence miR-134 expression can increase neuronal excitability.Our study provides an experimental basis for elucidating the possible mechanism of MA-induced neuronal injury and the role of miR-134 in neurotoxicity and neuronal excitability.
