Objective To explore the relationship between MTHFR gene polymorphism and ~diabetic cardiovascular disease. Methods The MTHFR C677T and MTHFR A1298C gene polymorphisms were detectd by PCR-RFLP to compare MTHFR C677T and MTHFR A1298C genotype distribution and allele frequencies among three groups. Enrolled were 84 healthy individuals (NC) and 158 T2DM subjects who were classified into two groups, i.e. non-diabetes complications (NDC) and ~diabetic cardiovascular disease (DC). Results Patients with diabetic cardiovascular disease had higher frequencies of MTHFR C677T mutation genotype and T allele than control and non-diabetes complications subjects, and had lower folate levels (P<0.001). There were no significant differences in MTHFR A1298C genotype distribution and allele frequencies among three groups (P>0.05). A logistic regression analysis demonstrated that MTHFR C677T and age were the independent predictors of DC. Conclution There is a strong correlation between the polymorphism of MTHFR C677T and diabetic cardiovascular disease.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of Zhenju Jiangya Tablet (ZJ) on the injured endothelial cells and endothelium-dependent relaxation function of hyperlipidemia rabbits. METHODS: Male New Zealand rabbits were randomized into four groups: control group, hyperlipidemia group, ZJ group and sivastatin group. The endothelium-dependent relaxation function was evaluated by APV using intravascular Doppler, and the morphology of endothelial cells was detected by light microscopy and electron microscopy, and nitric oxide synthase was evaluated. RESULTS: ZJ reduced the lesions of hyperlipidemia vessels, and the APV after Ach injection of each group was (1.14+/-0.26), (1.74+/-0.59), (1.22+/-0.37) and (1.17+/-0.41) respectively. The eNOS of each group was (4.21+/-0.37), (1.43+/-0.88), (3.95+/-0.67) and (4.08+/-0.46) nmol x min(-1) x g(-1) respectively. CONCLUSION: ZJ can improve the abnormality of endothelial cells and endothelium-dependent relaxation function of hyperlipidemia.

Objective To seak a available way of evaluating morphology of filtering blebs after trabeculectomy is very important for forecasting the successful rate of surgery.At the present time,filtering blebs were commonly evaluated by using the slim lamp microscope,but it did not to exactly reflect the filtering passage.This study aimed to evaluate the morphology of filtering blebs after trabeculectomy with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).MethodsThis was a prospective study.Sixty-nine eyes of 53 patients who had previously undergone trabeculectomy were selected in this study,including 25 eyes with open-angle glaucoma,38 eyes with close-angle glaucoma and 6 eyes with secondary glaucoma.These filtering blebs were classified into functional type (typeⅠandⅡ) and nonfunction type (type Ⅲ and Ⅳ) under the slit lamp microscope based on the van Buskirk grading scales.Intra-bleb morphology and structure were characterized as diffuse-like,cystic-like,encapsulating-like and flatten-like by AS-OCT in reference to the Leung method.The consistency between the two methods was evaluated by the Chi-Square test.Written informed consent was obtained from all the patients before surgery.ResultsThe average follow-up time was 10.78±11.0 months.All the patients finished the examination during the follow-up duration.The average intraocular pressure was(14.9±4.5)mmHg during the observation period.There were 38/69 (55.1%) functioning blebs and 31/69 (44.9%) non-function blebs under the slim lamp microscope.AS-OCT imaging showed diffuse-like blebs in 26 eyes (15.9%),cystic-like blebs in 11 eyes (27.5%),encapsulating-like blebs in 19 eyes (18.8%) and flatten-like in 13 eyes with the intraocular pressure of(13.16±3.77)mmHg,(15.36±2.92)mmHg,(15.77±5.07)mmHg and (16.62±5.33)mmHg,respectively,showing a significant difference among them (F=3.32,P＜0.05).These patterns of different OCT presented a good consistency with the clinical outcome (χ~2=0.03,P=0.86).ConclusionAS-OCT allows the observation of filtering blebs after glaucoma surgery.It is probably to visualize the internal structure of filtering bleb and deep sclerectomy.Functional and dysfunctional filtering blebs delivery gives different OCT patterns.This could be a new way to assess the postoperative healing process.

Objective To assess the effects of Danhong injection on the perfusion function of the pancreas in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods A total of 102 patients with AP were collected, and there were 25 patients with severe acute pancreatitis ( SAP) and 77 patients with mild acute pancreatitis (MAP). They were randomly divided into routine treatment group ( RTG,n =54) and Danhong treatment group (DTG,n =48) , respectively. Another 33 normal individuals were used as controls. Patients in RTG received gastric decompression, acid inhibition, anti-infection and nutritional support. Patients in DTG received Danhong injection 30 ml i. v. b. i. d besides routine treatment. The hemodynamic parameters ( BF, BV, MTT, and PS) of perfusion of the pancreas were measured by 16-slice spiral CT scanner. Results The values of BF of control, MAP, SAP group were time was ( 12.6 ± 2.7) d in DTG, which were significantly shorter than those in routine treatment group [(14.5 ±3.2)d, (18.5 ±5.5)d, P <0.05]. Conclusions The parameters of CT perfusion imaging of the pancreas can be a quantitative criterion to assess the severity of microcirculation dysfunction in patients with AP, and Danhong injection is effective to improve the blood perfusion of the pancreas during the treatment of AP.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors in patients with low grade glioma. Methods Eighty- seven patients with low grade glioma confirmed by cytological examination were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among 87 patients, male accounted for 62.1%(54/87), and the average age was 36.2 years. The average followed- up time was 51.4 months (3-135 months), and 5 cases were lost in follow-up. The follow- up rate was 94.3% (82/87). The 3- year survival rate was 84.1%, and the 5- year survival rate was 66.7%. The 3- year survival rate was related to clinical symptoms, maximum diameter of tumor and the extent of resection (P<0.01 or<0.05);and the 5- year survival rate was related to years, Karnofsky score, clinical symptoms, maximum diameter of tumor, the pathology classification and extent of resection (P<0.05 or<0.01). Conclusions Low grade glioma is more common in male patients and patients under the age of 40 years. Age below 40 years, Karnofsky score ≥ 70 scores, only epilepsy symptom, tumor diameter below 6.0 cm, oligodendrogliomas, complete resection or subtotal resection are positive prognostic factors. Postoperative radiotherapy can reduce the rate of tumor progression.

AIM: We observed the expression of KDR/Flk1 in post-myocardiac ischemia(MI) SD rats in order to explain the effect of captopril and its relationship with myocardium angiogenesis after long-term administration.METHODS: The MI model was made by LAD ligation.Captopril was administered for 6 weeks.Immuohistological method and FQ-PCR were used to test the myocardium KDR/Flk-1 expression.RESULTS: In captopril group,no inhibitory effect was observed in myocardium factor VIII expression,but KDR/Flk-1 decreased.The copies of KDR/Flk-1 mRNA reduced dramatically when compared to control group,false-operation and normal group(P0.05).CONCLUSION: ACEI down-regulates KDR/Flk-1 and its mRNA expression in ischemic rat myocardium after long-term administration of captopril,but does not inhibit angiogenesis.So we suspect that some other pathways exist,which can not affect by ACEI,or that ACEI just reduces abnormal angiogenesis.
