ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between Parkinson disease (PD) and intron rs12138592 A/G polymorphism of ubiquitin specific proteases (USP24) gene in Han population of the Western Guangdong province in China. Methods81 PD cases and 100 ethnically matched controls were investigated USP24 gene rs12138592 A/G polymorphism with polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). ResultsThe incidence of GG genotype was 77.8% in the cases and 62.0% in the controls (χ2=5.213,P=0.022), and the G allele was 88.3% in the cases, 79.5% in the controls (χ2=4.980，P=0.026). ConclusionThe G allele and GG genotype of USP24 gene rs12138592 A/G polymorphism can increase the risk of suffering from PD.

Objective To estimate the effect of daily diurnal temperature range (DTR) on mortality in different areas in China.Methods A time series study using the data collected from 66 areas in China was conducted,and Meta-analysis was used to analyze the estimates of associations between DTR and daily mortality.Modifying effects of extremely low and high DTR-mortality relationship by season and socioeconomic status (SES) were also evaluated respectively.Cumulative excess risk (CER) was used as an index to evaluate the effects.Results The information about 1 260 913 registered deaths were collected between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2011,we found the relationship between extreme DTR and mortality was non-linear in all regions and the exposure-response curve was J-shaped.In central and south areas of China,the result indicated the obvious acute effect of extremely high DTR,and the mortality effect in central area (CER=5.1％,95％CI:2.4％-7.9％) was significant higher than that in south area (CER=4.5％,95％CI:1.7％-7.3％).Regarding to the modification of seasons,the cumulative mortality effect of DTR in cold season (CER=5.8％,95％CI:2.5％-9.2％) was higher than that in hot season (CER=3.1％,95％CI:1.1％-5.1％).Generally,deaths among the elderly (≥75 years) were associated more strongly with extremely high DTR.Conclusions The mortality effects of extremely DTR in different areas and seasons showed different characteristics,that in central area and in cold season it was significantly stronger.After modified by season and SES,DTRs were the greatest threat to vulnerable population,especially to the elderly (≥75 years).Therefore,more attention should be paid to vulnerable groups and protection measures should be taken according to the local and seasonal conditions.

Objective:To explore the development, application and practical experience of investigator-initiated integrated clinical research information platform.Methods:The process of developing and constructing an integrated clinical research platform in a tertiary hospital in Beijing was introduced, the functions and advantages of the platform were described and displayed, and the main problems and risk points in the development and construction process were analyzed.Results:The integrated clinical research platform meets the management requirements of clinical research initiated by investigators, and the standardized management of the whole life cycle of the project can be realized through the platform, and the key issues of data security, information capture, sharing and interoperability need to be further explored in terms of platform docking.Conclusions:The integrated clinical research platform effectively improves the standardization, management quality and efficiency of investigator-initiated clinical research.
