Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2008;17(3):229-231
Objective To detect the genetic association between schizophrenia and rs1042724,rs384470 polymorphism at nucleotide of the nicotine-like acetylcholinergic receptor gene. Methods Observed in a sample of 98 parent/offspring trios where the proband net the American Classification and diagnostic Criteria for Mental Disorders. The Forth Revised Edition, criteria for schizophrenia using transmission/disequilibrium test(TDT) analysis. The polymorphism of nicotine-like acetylcholinergic receptor gene was detected with PCR methods and SNP typing in all nucleus families. Results Using a family-based association design we obtained evidence of an association between schizophrenia and allele of the rs1042724 polymorphism in the nicotine-like acetylcholinergic receptor gene(RR=1.31,2 (RR)=3.96,P<0.05). Moreover the fact that transmission disequilibrium was observed when one affected offspring was selected at random from each family, suggesting that the results are due to association(McNemar 2 = 4.21,P<0.05). There is no association between schizophrenia and rs1042724 polymorphism in the nicotine-like acetylcholinergic receptor gene (McNemar 2 =2.34,P>0.05). Conclusion It shows an association between schizophrenia and the rs1042724 polymorphism at nucleotide of the nicotine-like acetylcholinergic receptor gene in Chinese.

Methods Observed in a sample of 98 parent/offspring trios where the proband net the Amerecan Classification and diagnostic Criteria for Mental Disorders The Forth Revised Edition,criteria for schizophrenia using correlation analysis and haplotype relative risk analysis. The polymorphism of phosphodiesterase 4B gene was detected with PCR methods and SNP typing in all nucleus families. Results The rs2180335 al-lele was connected with schizophrenia (P = 0.02131). Allele A was protective factor (Z = -2. 184) and allele G was the hazard factor (Z = 2.184). The frequency of rs2180335 allele A was 0.452 and the allele G was 0.548. The rs1040716, rs 3767311 and rs472952 allele was independence with schizophrenia. Five kinds haplotypes of A/A in the rs2180335-rs3767311, A/A in the rs 3767311-rs472952, A/A/A in the rs2180335-rs3767311-rs472952,A/G/G/A and T/A/A/A in the rs1040716-rs2180335-rs3767311-rs472952 associated with schizophrenia (P values were 0. 028715,0. 034845,0. 024177,0. 023967,0. 010839,genotype frequencies were 0. 223, 0.223,0.127,0.081,0.073).

Ureteral stricture in renal allografts is one of the common postoperative complications in kidney transplant recipients. Due to short ureter in renal allografts, endovascular treatment should be adopted before reconstruction surgery to avoid irreversible injury. Alleviating renal allograft injury, easing obstruction or establishing drainage channel are the key measures to treat ureteral stricture. In endovascular treatment, balloon dilatation and internal incision yield high recurrence rate, and long-term indwelling of self-expanding metallic ureteral stents may be a better option. Compared with traditional stents, metallic stents may maintain urinary tract patency for a long time and mitigate the irritation of lower urinary tract symptoms,with different indications and efficacy. Although all metallic stents may be displaced and occluded, it still plays a positive role in the treatment of ureteral stricture in renal allografts. In this article, the application of self-expanding metallic ureteral stent in ureteral stricture of renal allografts was mainly illustrated, aiming to provide reference for optimizing the treatment of ureteral stricture in renal allografts.
