BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic studies have shown an association between higher insulin levels and coronary artery disease, and metabolic studies have associated insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity,and lipid disorders.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between insulin resistance (IR) and erythrocyte insulin receptors (EIRs) in the patients with cerebral infarction (CI).DESIGN: Case-control trial.SETTING: Department of Neurology, China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University.PARTICIPANTS: From January 2004 to October 2004, 40 patients with CI, who were in-patients in China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University,were selected for the study. Meanwhile, 30 healthy doctors or nurses were recruited as normal controls.METHODS: The levels of blood glucose and serum insulin under fasting and 2-hour after oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were detected in the 40 patients with CI and 30 healthy doctors or nurses. Fasting blood glucose multiplied by fasting serum insulin was insulin resistance index (IRI). The number of insulin receptors and their binding affinity on every erythrocyte were determined using modified Gambhir's method. The correlation between the number of EIRs and IRI was analyzed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Comparison of CI group with controlRESULTS: Data of 40 patients with CI and 30 controls were analyzed, and under fasting and 2-hour after OGTT: The level of serum insulin under fasting and blood glucose, serum insulin at 2-hour after OGTT in CI group were higher than those in normal group [(13.30±5.15), (9.85±4.36) mU/L,(8.27±1.65), (6.32±1.37) mmol/L, (75.21±21.12), (28.26±6.31)mU/L,P < 0.01,EIRs: The number of insulin receptors with high and low affinity and maximum specific binding rate in the patients with CI were significantly less than those in normal group [20.30±4.50, 23.80±4.10; 2 223.80±509.30,2 610.10±435.10; (10.62±3.55)%, (13.21±2.94)%, P < 0.01]. Multiple linear regression analysis and correlation analysis showed the numbers of two types of EIRs in the patients with CI were negatively correlated with IRI (r=-0.458, -0.439, P < 0.01, both).CONCLUSION: Insulin resistance can lead to cerebral infarction. Decrease in insulin receptors may play an importance role in cerebral infarction induced by insulin resistance.

BACKGROUND: The inheritance tendency and immunity imbalance of atherosclerotic brain infarction (ABI) have attracted the attention of many scholars at home and abroad, which suggests that immune mechanism plays a key role in ABI development. It has been found that ABI is related to polymorphism of human immune inheritance gene (HLA), particularly HLA-DR gene.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between HLA and ABI immune heredity.DESIGN: Single sample and single factor analysis.SETTING: Sino-Japanese Friendship Hospital of Jilin University; Neurological Department of the First Hospital of Harbin City.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 31 patients in experimental group and 30 healthy people in control group, whose three generations were of the Han Nationality in north China and who had no blood relation, were selected from Department of Neurology in First Hospital of Harbin between January 1998 and December 2000.METHODS: The experiment was conducted in the Blood Research Center of Department of Neurology in First Hospital of Harbin between June and December 2003.5 mL peripheral blood in both groups was taken to extract genome DNA with the previous method. Human HLA gene map had been described at gene bank in the Internet, in which mono-nucleic acid obtained from HLA of the sixth chromosome were retrieved. Each DR and DQ allele, sense primer and antisense primer were composed selectively. Amplification of DNA fragment was checked respectively and specifically. The primer was provided by Shanghai Gene Research Institute. PCR instrument (4 800) and its related reagents produced by PE Company (the US) were used. Fourfold table exact probability method was used to calculate the relative risk (RR) and P value.which was obviously higher than that of other sites (P < 0.05). However,associated with the ABI susceptible gene of the Han Nationality in north China.

ObjectiveTo investigate the high-risk detection rate and aggregation of cardiovascular diseases(CVD) in 8 districts of Shanghai and influencing factors, and to provide scientific references for prevention and control of CVD. MethodsBased on the Cardiovascular Disease Screening and Management Program in Shanghai from 2016 to 2021, 104 685 participants aged 35 to 75 in 8 districts of Shanghai were selected for analysis. χ2 test and multivariate logistic regression were used for statistical analysis of the influencing factors of CVD and aggregation of CVD. ResultsThe proportion of high-risk CVD individuals in the population was 19.17%, including the high-risk individuals with hypertension (8.65%), dyslipidemia (6.33%), CVD history (5.58%), and WHO assessed risk ≥20% types (2.69%), respectively. Old age, overweight and obesity, central obesity, smoking, drinking, farmers, unmarried, and low family income were the risk factors of CVD, while high education level was the protective factor. In the participants, 16 323 people (81.34%) were classified as CVD high-risk groups; The number of aggregation of 1, 2 and ≥3 high risk types of CVD were 16 323(81.34%), 3 236(16.13%), 509(2.54%), respectively. Old age, low education level, low annual family income, farmers, unmarried, smoking, drinking, overweight, obesity and central obesity were associated with the risk of aggregation of high risk types of CVD, and the correlation strength increased with the increase of aggregation types. ConclusionThe prevention and control of CVD in Shanghai should focus on the hypertension, elderly, overweight, obesity, central obesity, smoking, drinking, low educated, low family income, farmers and unmarried people, and targeted intervention measures should be taken to reduce the risk of CVD among residents.

Objective :
To investigate the reversal effect and mechanism of cinobufagin (CBG) on cisplatin resist- ance in human ovarian cancer cells .
Methods :
A2780 cell line and its cisplatin-resistant cell line A2780/DDP are common ovarian cancer cells in clinic , so these two cell lines were selected as the research objects . The cell viabil- ity was detected by cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay , and the cell proliferation ability was detected by plate clo- ning and 5-ethynyl-2 ′-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay. Hoechst staining was used to observe cell apoptosis . Cell scratch test and Transwell test were used to evaluate cell migration and invasion ability. Western blot and quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) were used to detect the protein and mRNA expressions of phosphatidylinosi- tol 3-kinase/protein kinase ( PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway and epithelial-mesenchymal transition ( EMT) .
Results:
Compared with A2780 cells , the drug resistance indexes of A2780/DDP cells were 5 . 636 , 5 . 864 , 5 . 695 , respectively. After treatment of A2780/DDP cells with CBG (2 , 4 , 6 mg/ml) , the reversal resistance indexes were 1 . 617 , 2. 570 , 3 . 461 , respectively. CBG treatment significantly increased the level of apoptosis and inhibi- ted the proliferation , migration and invasion of the cells in a concentration-dependent manner (P < 0. 05) . Western blot results showed that compared with A2780 cells , the relative ratio of P-PI3K/PI3K and P-AKT/AKT protein levels , as well as the protein expression of N-cadherin , Vimentin , and Snail were higher in the control group (A2780/DDP) cells , while the protein expression of E-cadherin was lower ( t P-PI3K/PI3K = 8 . 115 , t P-AKT/AKT = 17. 62 , t N-cadherin = 6. 126 , t Vimentin = 4. 001 , t Snail = 17. 333 , t E-cadherin = 4. 620 , P < 0. 01) ; As the dose of CBG increased , the protein expression levels of P-PI3K , P-AKT , N-cadherin , Vimentin , and Snail in drug-resistant cells de- creased , while the protein expression level of E-cadherin increased ( FP-PI3K = 268. 5 , FP-AKT = 190. 5 , FN-cadherin = 24. 02 , F Vimentin = 57 . 65 , FSnail = 87 . 24 , FE-cadherin = 135 . 8 , P < 0. 05) . qRT-PCR results showed that with the in- crease of CBG concentration , the mRNA expression levels of PI3K , AKT , N-cadherin , Vimentin and Snail de- creased , while the mRNA expression level of E-cadherin gradually increased ( FPI3K = 101 . 1 , FAKT = 558. 3 , FN-cadherin = 86. 97 , F Vimentin = 105 . 9 , FSnail = 85 . 71 , FE-cadherin = 80. 96 , P < 0. 01) .
Conclusion
CBG can reverse cisplatin resistance of ovarian cancer A2780/DDP cell line , and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and inhibition of EMT by CBG.

Objective:
To investigate the reversal effect of cinobufagin ( CINO) combined with 5-fluorouracil (5- FU) on human colorectal cancer ( CRC) drug-resistant cell line HCT15 /5-FU,and to clarify the regulatory role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1 α) / vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway in reversing chemoresistance of colorectal cancer.
Methods :
MTT assay was used to detect the changes of drug resistance and drug resistance index,flow cytometry was used to evaluate the apoptosis of cells ,scratch test and Transwell assay were used to detect the changes of cell migration and invasion ability.Western blot was used to detect the expressions of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) related proteins and HIF-1 α/ VEGF pathway-related proteins.
Results:
Compared with HCT15 cells,the resistance index of HCT15 /5-FU was about 8. 720. CINO combined with 5-FU could significantly enhance the drug sensitivity of HCT15 /5-FU cells,reduce drug resistance index,up-regulate the level of apoptosis,and inhibit cell migration and invasion in a dose-dependent manner.Western blot results showed that CINO combined with 5-FU could inhibit the activity of EMT and HIF-1 α/ VEGF pathway.
Conclusion
CINO can reverse 5-FU resistance of colorectal cancer in vitro,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the HIF-1 α/ VEGF pathway and the inhibition of EMT and angiogenesis.
