Objective:To study the correlation between glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level and coronary heart disease (CHD) in patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM) .Methods :A total of 100 DM patients and 100 non-DM patients were enrolled .According to complicated CHD or not ,DM patients were divided into DM +CHD group (n=44) and DM + non-CHD group (n=56) ,non-DM patients were divided into non -DM + CHD group (n=41) and non-DM + non-CHD group (n=59) .HbA1c concentration ,insulin resistance [homeostasis model-insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) ,insulin sensitivity index (ISI)] and endothelial function [number of endothelial microparticles (EMPs) ,brachial artery flow -mediated dilation (FMD)] were measured and compared among above groups .Results:Compared with DM + non-CHD group ,there were significant rise in HbA1c con‐centration [ (7.10 ± 0.86)% vs .(9.98 ± 1.05)% ] ,HOMA-IR [ (2.28 ± 0.31) vs .(3.31 ± 0.52)] and number of EMPs [(548.29 ± 69.35)/μl vs . (861.18 ± 94.57) /μl] ,and significant reductions in ISI [(-3.23 ± 0.41) vs .(-4.62 ± 0.65)] and FMD [ (6.65 ± 0.75)% vs .(4.58 ± 0.59)% ] in DM + CHD group , P<0.05 all .Compared with non -DM + non-CHD group ,there were significant rise in HbA1c concentration ,HOMA-IR and number of EMPs ,and significant reductions in ISI and FMD in non -DM + CHD group , P<0.05 or <0.01 .Single factor regression analysis indicated that HbA1c level was positively correlated with HOMA -IR and number of EMPs (β=2.845 ,1.945 , P<0.05 both) ,and inversely correlated with ISI and FMD (β= -3.582 ,-3.293 , P<0.05 both) . Conclusion:In patients with or without diabetes mellitus ,glycosylated hemoglobin concentration significantly rising can cause insulin resistance ,endothelial function injury ,then further lead to occurrence of coronary heart disease .

Astrocyte elevated gene (AEG) -1 is cloned as a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) -1-inducible and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)-inducible transcript in primary human fetal astrocytes (PHFA) by a rapid subtraction hybridization approach. AEG-1 has been reported to be up-regulated in various types of human cancers. Multivariate analyses indicat that AEG-1 correlates with the ability of growth, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis and chemoresistance of tumors. AEG-1 over-expression activates the PI3K-Akt,nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and Wnt-β-catenin signaling pathways in several crucial aspects of tumorprogression. AEG-1 represents a viable potential target for the therapy of human cancers.

Objective To investigate the relationship between plasma D-lactate levels and prognosis in newborns with neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).Methods One hundred and four premature infants with NEC (stase Ⅱ and Ⅲ ) and another 104 premature infants without NEC admitted into Quanzhou Children's Hospital for other diseases from January 2007 to October 2010 were selected into this case control study.The gestational age,gender and birth weight of patients in the two groups were matched.NEC patients' bloods were collected within 24 hours after NEC was confirmed and blood samples of the control group were collected at the corresponding age.Enzymelinked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the plasma D-lactate level.Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to confirm the criteria of D-lactate positive,according to which,the NEC group was divided into high D-lactate group and normal D-lactate group,and the mortality and complication rate of the two groups were compared with x2 test.And NEC group was subdivided into death group and survive group according to the prognosis of the patients,and the difference of D-lactate level between the two groups were compared with t test.Results Among the NEC group,there were 63 cases (60.6％) of stage Ⅱ and 41 (39.4％) cases of stage Ⅲ ; 88 (84.6％) survived infants and 16 (15.4％) dead infants.D-lactate level was (35.4 ± 29.1) μg /ml in stage Ⅲ NEC group,(29.5±16.2) μg/ml in stage Ⅱ NEC group and (3.7±18.4) μg/ml in control group; there were statistical differences between each other(F=5.97,P＜0.05).Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that if 6 μg/ml was set as the borderline,there were 87 cases(83.7％,87/104) with high D-lactate patients in NEC group,whose neonatal critical illness scoring (NCIS) was 80.9±22.6,significantly lower than that of normal D-lactate patients ( 95.8 ± 20.5) (t =2.417,P＜ 0.05),and higher neonatal septicemia rate (48.3％,42/87) and mortality (27.6％,24/87) compared with those [(5.9％,1/17) and (5.9％,1/17)] of normal D-lactate patients(x2 =11.539 and 7.146,P＜0.05,respectively).In NEC group,compared with the survived infants,the D-lactate level [(43.2±13.5) μg/ml vs (21.9 ± 22.9) μg/ml,t =4.572,P＜0.05] and the rate of septicemia [68.8％ (11/16) vs 38.6％ (34/88),x2 =3.445,P＜0.05] were higher in dead patients,and NCIS (82.4± 29.1 vs 90.6 ± 21.3,t =2.409,P＜0.05) was lower.Conctusions The level of plasma D-lactate related to the prognosis of neonatal NEC and which might be a good indicator for its prognosis and severity.

BACKGROUND:Valvular interstitial cel s are the main components of the heart valves. Myofibroblasts, as a kind of valvular interstitial cel s, can express alpha-smooth muscle actin and type I col agen fiber, and hold differentiation potential. These cel s cannot only play a support role in the valve structure, but also play a regulatory role in the process of the valve normal physiological and pathological responses.
OBJECTIVE:To obtain a reliable method of separation, primary culture and identification of myofibroblasts laying a foundation for further study on the cardiac valvular calcification.
METHODS:Aortic valve myofibroblas extracted from porcine hearts were primary cultured by trypsin and col agenase combined digestive method, common enzyme-digestion method and tissue-culture method, respectively. The myofibroblast activity and morphology were observed using microscope, and myofibroblasts were identified using light microscope and immunocytochemistrial method.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Myofibroblasts had a higher activity and purity cultured by trypsin combined with col agenase II digestion method. Aortic valve myofibroblasts were positive for alpha-smooth muscle actin and negative for von Wil ebrand factor under fluorescence microscope, suggesting that myofibroblasts were successful y obtained.

Objective To detect the sequence of SLC29A1 gene rs1288 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in advanced pancreatic cancer patients,and to explore its correlation with gemcitabine toxicity and prognosis.Methods Peripheral blood samples were collected and DNA was extracted.The segment containing SLC29A1 gene SNP (rs1288) was amplified by PCR,and then DNA sequencing was conducted to identify SLC29A1 gene SNP (rs1288).According to the sequencing results,the patients were divided into SLC29A1 gene rs1288 T→A mutation type group and wild type group.Clinical data,toxicity of gemcitabine chemotherapy,progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) between two groups were compared.Results A total of 83 pancreatic cancer patients were enrolled.Sequencing results showed that SLC29 A1 gene 1288 T→A mutation type was present in 52 patients and wide type was observed in 31 patients,so mutation rate was 62.7％.All the patients in both two groups could tolerate the gemcitabine toxicity,and no chemotherapy related death occurred.There were no statistical differences on the gender,age,CA19-9,tumor site,size and TNM stage between the two groups.There were statistically higher iucidences of leukopenia and thrombocytopenia in the SLC29A1 gene rs1288 T →A mutation type group compared to the wild type group (55.8％ vs 32.3％,P＜0.05;40.4％ vs 19.4％,both P＜0.05).Median OS and PFS in mutation type group were shorter than those in wide type group (11 months vs 14 months,P ＜ 0.05;9 months vs 12 months,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Advanced pancreatic cancer patients with the SLC29A1 gene rs1288 T→A mutation type had a higher incidence of adverse reaction in gemcitabine chemotherapy and a worse therapeutic effect,and thus detecting the mutation of SLC29A1 gene rs1288 point mutation may serve as a marker for evaluating the toxicity and prognosis of gemcitabine chemotherapy in patients with pancreatic cancer.
