Objective To investigate the correlation between the plasm homocysteine (Hcy) levels and cystathionine β synthase (CBS) T833C gene polymorphism in Xinjiang Kazakh with essential hypertension. Methods 239 Kazak patients with hypertension (hypertension group) and 206 with normotensive (control group) were selected for the study. Amplification Refractory Mutation System (ARMS) was used to analyze the polymorphism of CBS gene T833C, TT, TC and CC genotypes and the various sites of T, C allele frequencies in research group and the control group. Results Plasma of Hcy level was higher in the hypertensive group than those of control group, the difference was significant (P<0.05), and the individual plasma of Hcy with TC gene was higher than that with TT gene. The C allele frequencies was significantly higher in EH group than that in controls in Xinjiang Kazakh population, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). The risk of EH group in individuals carrying TC genetype was 2.39 times higher than in individuals carrying TT genetype (OR = 2.39, 95%CI:1.125 ~5.076, P = 0.02). Conclusion Elevated Hcy level may be a risk factor of Kazakhs hypertension in Xinjiang. The Cystathionine β synthase gene of T833C polymorphism may be associated with essential hypertension in Kazak people in Xinjiang.

Objective To investigate the association between plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels and cystathionineβsynthase (CBS) T833C gene polymorphism with essential hypertension in Xinjiang Kazakh and Han populations. Methods A total of 239 Kazak patients with hypertension (Kazak EH group), 206 Kazak people with normal blood pressure (Kazak con?trol group), 256 Han patients with hypertension (Han EH group) and 206 Han people with normal blood pressure (Han con?trol group) were selected for the study. Amplification refractory mutation system(ARMS) was used to analyze the polymor?phism of CBS gene T833C,TT,TC and CC genotypes and the various sites of T,C allele frequencies in four groups. In the meantime, the Hcy level and related biochemical indices were detected using automatic biochemical analyzer. Results The plasma Hcy levels were significantly higher in Kazak EH group and Han EH group than those of Kazak control group and Han control group (P<0.05). The C allele frequencies were significantly higher in Kazak EH group than that of Kazak control group (P<0.05). The plasma level of Hcy was significantly lower in Kazakh and Han people with TT genotypes than that of TC genotypes (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the frequency of genotypes and alleles between Han EH group and Han control group (P>0.05).Conclusion The Cystathionineβsynthase gene of T833C polymorphism may be associated with essential hypertension in Kazak people in Xinjiang, but no such association in Han population in Xinji?ang. The mechanism may be related to the altered metabolism of Hcy induced by CBS mutation.

Objective To investigate the effects of rehabilitation stroke unit on patients with shoulder-hand syndrome after stroke. Methods 90 stroke patients with shoulder-hand syndrome were divided into two groups: control group (45 cases) was treated with conventional treatment and experimental group (45 cases) was incorporated into the rehabilitation stroke unit. The therapeutic course was 6 weeks.Brunnstrom stage, Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel index (MBI) were used to assess the degree of the motor function of upper limb and hand, and activities of daily living (ADL), and the total clinical efficacy were evaluated. Results The motor function of upper limb and hand and ADL improved in both groups after treatment (P<0.05), while the experimental group was significantly superior to the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Rehabilitation stroke unit has preferable effect on shoulder-hand syndrome after stroke.

C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute-phase protein with an ability to bind to nuclear antigen, has been reported to regulate cytokine secretion and modulate immune responses. We previously reported that activated syngeneic lymphocyte-derived apoptotic DNA (apopDNA) could induce macrophage activation and contribute to the initiation and progression of lupus nephritis. It is reasonable to hypothesize that CRP might regulate apopDNA-induced macrophage activation. Herein, CRP was shown to promote macrophage-mediated apopDNA uptake by binding to apopDNA (CRP/apopDNA complex). Notably, CRP/apopDNA treatment inhibited the production of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines by macrophages which could be induced by apopDNA alone. Further coculture and transwell studies revealed that CRP/apopDNA-induced macrophages prohibited apopDNA-induced macrophage activation in an IL-10 dependent manner. These results provide insight into the potential mechanism of CRP regulatory activity in macrophage activation induced by apopDNA in the context of lupus nephritis and other autoimmune diseases.

Objective:To measure the partial parameters of the soft tissues of upper eyelid in young women with single eyelid in Shantou City, Guangdong Province, and to explore the asymmetry rate of the left and right palpebral fissure and its regularity.Methods:From March 2018 to July 2019, the Medical Cosmetology Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College measured 108 young women with single eyelid, aged 18-35 years, with an average age of 24.6 years. Before operation, palpebral fissure width (PFW), palpebral fissure height (PFH), palpebral fissure inclination (PFI) and central eyebrow height (CEH) were measured. The resected intra-orbital septum fat pad during the procedure was weighed. Both direct measurement and the photo measurement were used to obtain the average value of the two sets of data for final analysis. We calculated out the incidence rate of asymmetry of each palpebral item.Results:The paired t-test showed that the mean value of PFW was (25.76±1.50) mm on the left and (26.04±1.55) mm on the right ( t=2.93); the mean value of PFH was (9.70±1.15) mm on the left and (9.49±1.05) mm on the right ( t=3.12); the mean value of PFI was (9.77±2.57)° on the left and (9.67±2.28)° on the right ( t=2.01); the mean value of CEH was (12.05±1.61) mm on the left and (12.32±1.69) mm on the right ( t=-2.66); the mean value of the weight of the intra-orbital septum fat pad was (0.20±0.11) g on the left and (0.22±0.12) g on the right ( t=2.29). There were significant differences between the two sets of data (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The asymmetric phenomenon of the upper eyelid is commonly found in Shantou young female undergraduates, in which the PFH in the left is higher than that in the left; the PFW, the CEH, the weight of the intra-orbital septum fat pad in the right more commonly found than that in the left.. This study provides a certain reference for the clinical evaluation of the operation.
