Objective The pathogenesis of T2DM has not been elucidated.This study aimed to explore the association of FXR gene polymorphisms with the risk of T2DM in Eastern China population. Methods We collected 467 cases in the Health Examination Center of our hospital from January 2011 to December 2012.Ligase detection reaction was performed to test the genotypes in 240 T2DM patients and 227 controls.Unconditioned logistic regression analysis was used to explore the association of FXR gene polymorphisms with the risk of T2DM in different genetic models, after adjusting for age, sex, smoking and drinking status. Results Compared with AA genotype, GG significantly increased the risk of T2DM (P=0.017), while GA+GG approached marginal significance in association with T2DM (P=0.049) in rs1030454.For rs10860598, GA reduced the incidence of T2DM (P=0.025) compared with AA genotype, while GA+GG had marginal significance with T2DM (P=0.049).For rs11110411, CT or CT+CC could reduce the risk of T2DM compared with TT with P value of 0.016 and 0.024 respectively.Compared with AA, GA or GA+GG in rs17030270 was negative with the risk of T2DM with P value of 0.018 and 0.032 respectively. Conclusion FXR gene polymorphisms are associated with the risk of T2DM in northern Chinese Han population and the variation of FXR gene may play a role in the pathogenesis of T2DM.

AIM: The expression of the Fas Antigen and induction of apoptosis by anti-Fas antibody in esoinophils in vitro were investigated. METHODS: Purified eosinophils from health donors were cultured for 72 h in the presence of human IL-5 and with or without anti-Fas monclonal antibody (MoAb) at various concentrations (1-1000 ?g/L). The expression of the Fas antigen on eosinophils was determined by immunocytochemistry. The changes of eosinophils viability and apoptosis were also studied. RESULTS: The Fas antigen was expressed on freshly isolated eosinophils, which had no significant changes after culture in the presence or absence of IL-5. The anti-Fas MoAb at different concentration suppressed significantly the IL-5-mediated eosinophils survival (78%?9%). When eosinophils were cultured in the presence of IL-5 (1?10 4 U/L) with anti-Fas MoAb (1 000 ?g/L), the percentage of alive cell decreased to 30%?12%( P

BACKGROUND:Several studies have demonstrated that stem cells can differentiate into vascular endothelial cells, and then further differentiate and form blood capillary. Based on this principle, autologous bone marrow mesenchyrnal stem cell (BMSC) transplantation promotes angiogenesis to treat ischemia in lower limb.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the angiogenesis in rabbit ischemic limbs following autologous BMSC transplantation using high-frequency two-dimensional ultrasound detection in conjunction with Doppler color-flow imaging examination. DESIGN, TIME AND SEI-FING: A randomized, controlled, animal experiment was performed in the Third People's Hospital of Wuxi between March 2007 and April 2008.MATERIALS: Twenty-four New Zealand rabbits were randomized to a control group and a cell transplantation group, with 12 rabbits in each.METHODS: Ischemia in lower limbs was induced in all rabbits. One week following ischemia induction, the cell transplantation group was injected with 0.5 mL cell suspension, comprising 2×106 BrdU-labeled autologous BMSCs cultured in vitro, through multiple sites in the region of gastrocnemius muscle. Simultaneously, the control group received the same amount of physical saline in the same region.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The initial segment of rabbit femoral artery and superficial femoral artery was subjected to high-frequency two-dimensional ultrasound and Doppler color-flow imaging examinations to measure femoral artery vascular internal diameter, blood flow peak velocity, and blood flow acceleration time. Ischemic muscular tissue was taken for immunohistochemical staining to detect transplanted cell distribution and for pathological examination of angiogenesis. RESULTS: Two weeks following autologous BMSC transplantation, high-frequency ultrasound results revealed that femoral artery internal diameter and blood flow peak velocity were greater, but blood flow acceleration time was shorter, in the cell transplantation group than in the control group (P<0.01). Immunohistochemical staining results demonstrated the presence of BrdU-positive cells. Pathological sections displayed that vascular density was significantly higher in the cell transplantation group than ih the control group. CONCLUSION: Autologous BMSC transplantation is a promising, simple, and effective method of treating ischemia in lower limbs owing to its promotion of angiogenesis. Meanwhile, high-frequency ultrasound detection of femoral artery is an effective, practical method to evaluate the clinical outcomes of autologous BMSC transplantation.

Objective To monitor the systemic gene expression profile in a murine model of li-popolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury by the recently modified long serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) so as to discuss the molecular mechanism of acute lung injury. Methods Acute lung injury was induced by intra-tracheal injection of LPS (25 mg/kg). Control mice were given normal saline in same volume. Animals were killed at 24 hours after the administration of LPS and lungs were harvested en bloc for SAGE study. Results A total of 24 670 tags representing 12 168 transcripts in the control mice and 26 378 tags representing 13 397 transcripts in the mice with lung injury were identified respectively. There were 11 transcripts increased more than 10 folds, 107 transcripts 5-10 folds and 2 121 transcripts 2-5 folds in the LPS-treated mice. But seven transcripts decreased to 1/10, 87 transcripts to 1/10-1/5 and 1 571 transcripts to 1/5-1/2. The most overexpressed genes in the lung injury mice mainly included serum amyloid A 3, metallothionein 2, lipocalin 2, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A, lactate dehydrogenase 1 , melatonin receptor, SI00 calcium-binding protein A9 and natriuretic pep-tide precursor. Mitogen activated protein kinase 3, serum albumin, complement component 1 inhibitor, and ATP synthase were underexpressed in the lung injury mice. Conclusion The changes of various genes as well as some unreported genes have been confirmed in the LPS-induced acute lung injury. Further studies of these unreported genes are beneficial to better understanding the mechanism of acute lung injury and may provide useful markers for clinical diagnosis.
