Objective To study the relationship between the genetic polymorphism of interleukine-6 (IL-6)-174 and the response to benazepril treatment in patients with hypertensive renal damage. Methods Two hundred and eighty-four patients with hypertension were enrolled in this study. The hypertensive renal damage was defined by the measurement of urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER). One hundred and sixty healthy subjects were enrolled simultaneously as control group. Blood samples were obtained from all the subjects, and plasma levels of IL-6 and the genotype of gene IL-6-174 were detected. The patients with hypertensive renal damage were treated with benazepril for 16 weeks. The responses were evaluated by the changes of UAER level to benazepril in different genotypes. Results Genotype CC was the most common of the gene IL-6-174 in patients with hypertension, followed by GG and GC successively, with the G/C allele frequency of 47%and 53%(P<0.05), while in patients with hypertensive renal damage, GG was the most common genotype of the gene IL-6-174, followed by GC and CC successively, with the G/C allele frequency of 68%and 32%(P<0.05). After benazepril treatment, the UAER was decreased most in patients with genotype CC, followed by GC and GG successively ( P<0.05). Conclusion The G allele frequency of the gene IL-6-174 is related with hypertensive renal damage in patients in Ningxia, with GG as the most common genotype. The patients with CC genotype have the best response to benazepril treatment, with most decreased UAER.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of vitamin E in the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in children. MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, The Cochran Library, Embase, OVID/NEJM, CNKI, and Wanfang Data were searched for the articles on vitamin E in the treatment of NAFLD in children published up to December 2019. The data of 8 parameters were analyzed, i.e., body mass index (BMI), liver enzymes [alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)], blood lipid levels [triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)], and remission rate of hepatic steatosis. RevMan 5.3 was used to perform a Meta-analysis. Continuous variables were analyzed by standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI), and the changes after intervention were analyzed; categorical variables were analyzed by risk difference (RD) and 95%CI. A fixed effects model was used for homogeneous data, and a random effects model was used for heterogeneous data. Funnel plots were used to evaluate publication bias. ResultsA total of 599 articles were retrieved, among which 9 were included in the Meta-analysis, with 607 subjects in total. Vitamin E significantly improved the level of ALT (SMD = -0.27, 95%CI: -0.48 to -0.06, P=0.01), but it did not improve the levels of BMI (SMD=-0.09, 95%CI: -0.28 to 0.10, P=0.34), AST (SMD=-020, 95%CI: -0.42 to 0.02, P=0.07), TG (SMD=-0.19, 95%CI: -0.51 to 0.12, P=0.22), TCHO (SMD=-0.11, 95%CI: -0.31 to 0.08, P=0.24), HDL (SMD=-0.02, 95%CI: -0.27 to 0.23, P=0.88), LDL (SMD= -0.04, 95%CI: -0.27 to 019, P=072), and the remission rate of hepatic steatosis (RD=0.06, 95%CI: -0.05 to 0.17, P=0.29). ConclusionVitamin E can significantly improve the level of ALT in children with NAFLD and can be considered as an adjuvant drug for clinical treatment.
