Objective To investigate the correlation of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene variations in the promoter region with the sporadic Alzheimer' s disease (SAD) in Chinese Han population for better understanding the mechanism of SAD. MethodsThe polymorphisms of 279 SAD Chinese Han patients from Northern China were analyzed by comparing with those from 317 healthy individuals using the method of polymeraee chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism ( PCR-RFLP) or direct sequencing.The commercial statistics package SPSS 11.5 was used to compare the distribution of the allele and the genotype, and to analyze their correlations with SAD. ResultsThree polymorphism sites were found for the VEGF promoters in the Chinese Han sample group including -2578C/A,- 2549I/D and- 1154G/A.- 2549I/D and- 2578C/A exhibiting strong linkage disequilibrium. Individuals with the A allele at position -2578 had an insertion of 18 nucleotides at -2459I/D, whereas CC homozygotes did not contain th es were found between the SAD patients and the controls in the 3 VEGF polymorphisms. After adjusting the data for gender, age and the ApoE ε4 allele using Logistic regression, the - 1154G/G genotype of the VEGF promoter might increase the risk of SAD in Chinese Han population.Among the subgroup without the ApoE ε4 allele, -2549D/-1154G haplotype might increase the risk for SAD (OR = 1.325, 95％ CI 1.023--1.716, P=0.033). ConclusionsThree polymorphism sites ( -2578C/A, -254911D, and -1154G/A) are found in the VEGF promoter regions in Chinese Han population. The-1154G/G genotype of the VEGF promote appears to increase the risk of SAD in Chinese Han population.In the absence of ApoE ε4, the -2549D/-1154G haplotype of the VEGF promoter appears to affect the risk for SAD.

Objective:To study the relationship between hepatic tissue insulin receptor substrate 2(IRS2) gene and type 2 diabetes,and the regulation of acupuncture on IRS2 gene expression of hepatic tissue in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) rats.Methods:Obese rats due to diet were injected in abdomen with small dose streptozotocin(STZ) to induce T2DM.Then these T2DM rats were stochastically divided into acupuncture group,Glibenclamide group and model group.After 4 weeks treatment,fasting blood sugar(FBS) was examined with active blood sugar meter,fasting insulin(FINS) was examined by radioimmunoassav,hepatic tissue IRS2mRNA was evaluated in real-time RT PCR,and normal rats were in control.Results:Serum levels of FBS(15.79?1.87) and FINS(37.20?3.92) in model group were higher than those in normal group(5.16?0.13,23.57?1.63),serum levels of FBS(5.46?0.20) and FINS(20.87?1.80) in acupuncture group were obviously lower than those in model group,which were similar to normal group.FBS(5.26?0.13) reduced obviously and serum FINS(28.10?1.86) reduced in some degree in Glibenclamide group compared with model.Relative contents of IRS2mRNA in model group were 2.19 folds compared with that in normal group.And in Glyburide group it was 4.59 folds compared with that in normal group.In acupuncture group it was 4.04% of that in the normal group.Conclusion:Abnormal hepatic tissue IRS2 mRNA expression may be one of pathogenesis of T2DM.Acupuncture can obviously depress hepatic tissue IRS2 mRNA expression,but Glibenclamide can not.
