Objective To investigate the mRNA expression of survivin, livin and XIAP gene in peripheral blood of patients with gastric cancer and its relationship with clinico-pathological features.Methods This study included 50 patients with gastric cancer and 20 healthy donors. The expression of survivin, livin and XIAP gene was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-QPCR) using a molecular beacon probe, while recombination plasmid containing the sequence of survivin, livin and XIAP was standard. The relationship between copies of survivin, livin and XIAP gene expression in peripheral blood with gastric cancer and clinical data was analyzed. Results A linear standard curve was obtained between 103 ～ 1010 copies. The copies of survivin, livin and XIAP mRNA in peripheral blood of patients with gastric cancer did not correlate with gender, age, and histological types ( P ＞ 0.05). There were positive relationships between copies of survivin, livin and XIAP gene with lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (P ＜0.05 ). The expression of survivine, livin and XIAP was all negative in peripheral blood of healthy people. 52% (17/33) of patients suffered from recurrence or metastasis who had positive expression of survivin and/or livin and/or XIAP mRNA, while it was 18% (3/17)among the negative survivin and/or livin and/or XIAP mRNA caces ( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusions The expression of survivin, livin and XIAP mRNA can be used to detecte micro-metastasis in peripheral blood circulation of gastric cancer.

OBJECTIVETo identify potential disease-causing mutation in the COL2A1 gene in a Chinese family affected with autosomal dominant spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SEDC; OMIM 183900) and to analyze the phenotype-genotype correlation.

METHODSComplete physical, and radiographic examinations of 4 affected individuals from the family were conducted. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes. Whole-exome sequencing was performed using a HiSeq2000 sequencer. All 54 exons and exon-intron boundaries of the COL2A1 gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and bidirectionally sequenced.

RESULTSAll of the 4 individuals were found to carry a novel missense mutation of c.2224G>A (p.Gly687Ser) in the COL2A1 gene, while the same mutation was not found in the normal members of the family and 50 healthy controls. Protein prediction of missense mutation by Polyphen-2 and SIFT software indicated severe damage to the function.

CONCLUSIONThe mutation c.2224G>A (p.Gly687Ser) of the COL2A1 gene is responsible for this family. There are heterozygous of phenotype for the mutation.

Objective: To explore the glycemic control of newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes with different levels of baseline body mass index (BMI) after 6 months treatment under the standardized metabolic disease management model. Methods: (1) 163 patients of newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes were divided into normal weight (BMI 18.5-23.9 kg/m²), overweight (BMI 24.0-27.9 kg/m²), and obese (BMI≥28 kg/m²) groups according to baseline BMI, the blood glucose and lipids levels were compared among 3 groups. (2) The blood glucose levels were compared among 3 groups after 6 months of standardized management. (3) The overweight and obese patients were divided into group weight loss≥5% and group weight loss<5% or weight gain in 6 months. The blood glucose levels were compared. Results: (1) At baseline, overweight and obese groups had higher homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance and lower high density lipoprotein-cholesterol compared with normal weight group. (2) After 6 months of treatment, HbA_1C and HbA_1C reduction showed no difference among 3 groups (normal, overweight and obese) after adjusted by baseline HbA_1C. The rate of HbA_1C<7% among 3 groups were 77.78%, 83.95%, and 80.43% (P>0.05). (3) After 6 months of treatment, 32.28% overweight and obese patients lost weight by ≥ 5%, while HbA_1Cand HbA_1Creduction showed no difference between 2 groups (weight loss≥5% and weight gain or weight loss<5%) after adjusted by baseline HbA_1C. Both groups achieved good glycemic control [(6.27±1.38 vs 6.43±0.66)%], but have no significantly(P>0.05). Group weight loss≥5% had better glucose control (92.68% vs 77.91%, P<0.05). Conclusions As BMI increased, insulin resistance and lipid disorders were more serious in newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes. After 6 months of standardized metabolic management, newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes with different baseline BMI and weight changes both achieved good glycemic control. In addition, patients losing weight equal to or more than 5% achieved higher attainment of HbA_1C targets.
