Objective To explore the effect of schisanhenol on adipokine expression in 3T3-L1 adipocyte and its related mechanism. Methods 3T3-L1 adipocyte was cultured in vitro and induced to differentiation and maturity. Glucokinase was added to culture medium to make an oxidative model. The expression of adipocytokines were detected under the circumstance of different doses and at different time points of schisanhenol. Results The expression of adiponectin, leptin, resistin and visfatin were decreased with the increase of glucokinase concentration. Concentration-dependent inhibition effect was most obvious in leptin (25 mU/ml Glucokinase vs Blank group, t =7.29, P＜0.01). With pretreatment of oxidative stress, the adipocytokines increased as the doses of schisanhenol increased (t=6.31,P＜0.01 in adiponectin;t=5.92, P＜0.01 in leptin; t=3.77, P＜0.05 in resistin; t=3.63,P＜0.05 in visfatin). With the extension of schisanhenol effect, the expression of four adipokines showed the process of first decrease-then increase'. The effects of schisanhenol on adipokines were parallel with the alteration of oxidative stress. Conclusions Schisanhenol increased adipocytokines expression in 3T3-L1 adipocyte by reducing oxidative stress, and the increase of leptin and adiponectin were most obvious, which indicated that schisanhenol could play a role in the treatment of diabetes by Chinese herb wuweizi.

Objective To analyze of CD4+ CD25high regulatory T cells(Treg)in peripheral blood of chronic HBV patients and its correlation with multiple clinical indicators.Methods Thirty-five hepatitis B virus(HBV)infected patients in this study were divided into four different clinical types:HBsAb+group(n=5),inactive hepatitis group(n=8),chronic hepatitis group(n=12),and immune tolerance group(n=10).The number of CD4+CD25high Treg and related T cells subgroup in CD3/CD4/CD8 was thoroughly examined by flow cytometry in peripheral blood of HBV infected patients and the healthy contrast group(n=12).Serum HBV markers were determined by commercial ELISA kits.Serum HBV DNA was quantified by commercial real-time PCR kit.Statistical differences were studied to investigate the correlations between CD4+CD25high Treg and different clinical types of HBV infection and clinical indicators.Results The absolute counts of CD25high Treg and its frequency in CD4+ T cells were similar between HBV infected patients [(12.35±6.48)/μ,(1.82±0.87)%]and health controls[(8.91±3.11)/μl,(1.35±0.39)%],P＞0.05.The frequency of CD25high Treg in CD4+ T cells from the immune tolerance group was significantly higher than that of the HBsAb+ group,chronic hepatitis group,and the healthy contrast group(P＜0.05).The absolute counts of CD25high Treg from the immune tolerance group were significantly higher than the healthy control group(P＜0.05),and the frequency of CD25high Treg in CD4+ T cells is negatively correlated to the ALT level(r=-0.418,P=0.038),positively correlated to CD4/CD8 ratio(r=0.344,P=0.021),no correlation to the HBV DNA level(r=0.118,P＞0.05).The absolute counts of CD25high Treg were positively correlated to CD4/CD8 ratio(r=0.360,P=0.015),no correlation to ALT level and HBV DNA level(r=-0.211,r=0.060,P＞0.05).Conclusion CD4+ CD25high Treg may play a role in immunopathogenesis of chronic HBV infection.

Objective To identify the hairless gene mutations in a family of atrichia with papular lesions. Methods Skin biopsies were taken from typical lesions for histopathological examination. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples of the family members. Complete encoding sequences of hairless gene Dwere detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing. Results Compound heterozygous mutations were identified in the patient: G337D in exon 3 and Q498X in exon 4. There was only one of the mutations in his parents and a younger brother. Conclusions G337D and Q498X mutations in hairless gene seem to be responsible for the phenotypes in the patient suffered from atrichia with papular lesions.

SUMO4 Met55Val variation was shown to be related to type 2 diabetes susceptibility and the vascular complications in Asian people. To further examine the related mechanisms, this study was designed to evaluate the association of SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism with insulin resistance and β cell function in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients in a Chinese population. Four hundred and twenty seven newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients were selected for SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism genotype analysis. All subjects underwent a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to estimate the insulin sensitivity and β cell function. Anthropometrics and a metabolic profile were used for phenotyping analysis. The results showed that the SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism was associated with higher insulin resistance (P<0.001) and lower insulin sensitivity (P<0.001). Patients with GG genotype had higher levels of plasma glucose, insulin and C peptide. Insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was closely correlated with body mass index (BMI) in patients with GG genotype in comparison to the counterparts with AG or AA genotype (r= -0.504 vs. r= -0.430 vs. r= -0.340). Multiple regression linear analysis showed that SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism was an independent determinant for insulin sensitivity (P=0.001), which, along with triglyceride, BMI and sex, could account for 20.1% of the variation in ISI. The result remained the same after adjusting for BMI and sex. No association was found between SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism and β cell function (all P>0.05). It was concluded that SUMO4 Met55Val variant was associated with increased insulin resistance in Chinese patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.

The molecular mechanism by which obesity induces insulin resistance is not completely understood. The aim of this study was to determine how lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis-α factor (LITAF) influenced obesity-induced insulin resistance using a cellular co-culture system. The cells were divided into 3 groups: palmitic acid (PA) stimulation group, LITAF small interfering RNA (siRNA) group and untreated (NC) group. The LITAF siRNA was used for knockdown of LITAF expression in human THP-1 macrophages. The expression levels of LITAF, IRS-2, IRS-2Tyr465, PI3K, and GLUT2 in each group were measured by using quantitative reverse transcriptase real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. The expression of LITAF was much higher in the PA group than in the siRNA and NC groups (*P<0.05); meanwhile, the expression of IRS-2, IRS-2Tyr465, PI3K, and GLUT2 was much lower in the PA group than in the NC group (*P<0.05); however, IRS-2, IRS-2Tyr465, PI3K, and GLUT2 had much higher expression in the siRNA group than in the PA group (*P<0.05). It is concluded that PA can induce insulin resistance in liver cells and knockdown of LITAF expression can reduce insulin resistance in liver cells, suggesting LITAF may regulate the insulin signal transduction pathway involved in obesity-induced insulin resistance.

Objective To explore the clinical features and repositioning maneuver effects of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo ( BPPV ).Method The clinical features of 326 patients with BPPV from August 2009 to July 2011 were analyzed retrospectively.Different types of BPPV were compared.Results BPPV was more common in female and the peak period of onset was between the ages of 50 and 60.The average latency of vertigo attack was ( 1.52 ± 1.22) s and 43 patients ( 13.2％ ) had no obvious latency.The median duration of vertigo attack was 10 s,with less than 60 s in 312 patients (95.7％) and between 60—180 s in 13 patients (4.0％).The latency of vertigo attack of posterior semicircular canal-BPPV ( ( 1.74 ± 1.21 ) s) was longer than that of horizontal semicircular canal-BPPV ( ( 0.96 ± 1.06 ) s,t =5.546,P ＜0.01 ).But there were no differences in the gender,the course of disease and the duration of vertigo attack.The patients with posterior semicircular canal-cupulolithiasis were younger than those with posterior semicircular canal-canalithiasis.The duration of vertigo attack of posterior semicircular canalcupulolithiasis was longer than that of posterior semicircular canal-canalithiasis.The latency and the duration of vertigo attack of horizontal semicircular canal-cupulolithiasis were longer than that of horizontal semicircular canal-canalithiasis and the age was older.Conclusions The posterior semicircular canal is more involved in BPPV.The latency of vertigo attack of posterior semicircular canal-BPPV is longer than that of horizontal semicircular canal-BPPV.The latency and the duration of vertigo attack of horizontal semicircular canal-cupulolithiasis are longer than that of horizontal semicircular canal-canalithiasis and the age is older.

Aim To explore the effect of genetic poly-morphisms of POR on the stable warfarin maintenance doses in Han Chinese patients receiving mechanical heart valve replacement. Methods The association between POR gene polymorphisms and warfarin doses of 185 Han Chinese patients were investigated through ANOVA or t test. SNPs of POR and VKORC1 were de-tected by Sequenom? DNA MassArray genotyping method. CYP2C9*3 was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method ( PCR-RFLP ) . Patients ’ clinical characteris-tics, INR value and daily dose were obtained from their medical records. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 21. 0 software. Results No mutant carriers of POR rs17148944 , POR rs56256515 and rs72553971 were found in this study. The genotype frequencies of other SNPs were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg e-quilibrium. In the group of patients with CYP2C9*1*1 , the mutant type carriers ( T carriers ) of POR rs17685 had a significantly higher dose than CC carri-ers(3. 50 ± 1. 07) mg·d-1 vs (3. 14 ± 0. 94) mg· d-1,P =0. 03. Also, in the group of patients with CYP2 C9*1*1 and VKORC1 rs9934438 G allele carri-ers, the mutant type carriers ( T carriers ) of POR rs17685 had a significantly higher dose than CC carri-ers(4. 76 ± 0. 90) mg·d-1 vs (4. 08 ± 1. 03) mg· d-1 ,P=0. 04. No significant difference was found in different genotypes of POR rs2868177 . Conclusion These results illustrate that POR rs17685 T carrier is closely associated with a higher warfarin maintenance dose, suggesting that this SNP is useful for clinical guidance of warfarin.
