Objective To investigate the expression of serum amyloid A (SAA) in patients adipose tissue with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and the correlations between SAA and insulin resistance (IR) and body mass index (BMI).Methods A total of 60 single full-term pregnant women underwent cesarean section from June 2013 to December 2013 was enrolled in this study (GDM group,n =30;control group,n =30);serum SAA level was detected with Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA);and mRNA expression of SAA1 in adipose tissue was determined by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR);SPSS software was used to compare these markers,and the correlations between SAA and HOMA-IR,BMI were analyzed with Pearson correlation method.Results SAA,mRNA expressions in omental and subcutaneous fat in GDM group (0.447 ± 0.069,0.291 ± 0.067) were significantly higher than those in control group (0.194 ± 0.070,0.231 ± 0.068,P ＜ 0.01).Serum SAA levels [(21.038 ± 6.648) mg/L] and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR) (4.168± 2.416) in GDM group were significantly higher than those in control group [(14.384 ± 12.770) mg/L,2.045 ± 1.008,P ＜ 0.05];SAA1 mRNA expression levels in omental and subcutaneous fat were positively correlated with serum SAA (r =0.353,0.342,P ＜ 0.01).SAA1 mRNA expression levels in omental were positively correlated to pregestational BMI,late gestational BMI,weight gain in pregnancy and HOMA-IR (r =0.543,0.644,0.340,0.473,P ＜ 0.01),and SAA1 mRNA expression levels in subcutaneous fat were positively correlated to pregestational BMI,late gestational BMI,and HOMA-IR (r =0.788,0.693,0.504,P ＜ 0.01),but was no correlation with weight gain in pregnancy(r =0.013,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions SAA mRNA expressions in omental and subcutaneous fat in GDM group and serum SAA levels increase,which is positively correlated with BMI and the degree of insulin resistance,SAA may participate in the formation of GDM by increasing insulin resistance.SAA may be used as a new monitor of GDM.

The‘eighteen clashes’and‘nineteen fears’have been tought of traditional prohibited combination in long time,but many examples show ginseng and trogopterus dung could be safely used after compatibility,so many scholars fouce on the essential of compatibility.While people can not reach an accordant consideration for compatibility of Ginseng with Trogopterus Dung,therefore we have a overview based on documents for about 30 years,which will provide evidences for researching systematically on the nature of compatibility of Ginseng with Trogopterus Dung.

BACKGROUNDTo investigate the relation between FLIP expression and apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

METHODSFLIP expression was examined in forty-eight paraffin-embeded NSCLC samples and 16 benign pulmonary disease tissues by immunohistochemistry method. Apoptosis of NSCLC cells was detected by TUNEL technique.

RESULTSThe positive rate of FLIP expression in NSCLC was 83.33%(40/48), which was significantly higher than that in benign pulmonary disease tissues (P < 0.01). The expression level of FLIP was closely related to TNM stages and lymph node involvement, but not to histological classification and cell differentiation. No correlation was observed between the expression of FLIP and apoptosis index of tumor cells (r=-0.211,P > 0.05 ).

CONCLUSIONSOverexpression of FLIP may be involved in the progression of NSCLC, but its expression may not be related to cell apoptosis in NSCLC.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect and safety of microneurosurgery associated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery on the large meningiomas in sellar region, and to clarify its clinical curative effect. Methods The clinical data of 34 patients with large meningiomas in sellar region underwent microsurgery were retrospectively analyzed.All of them underwent microsurgery,and then treated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery in one month after operation if there were residual tumors.The tumor removal of situation,complication,rate of symptom remission,and recurrence rate were analyzed.Results Among the 34 patients,total resection (7 cases of Simpson grade Ⅰ and 12 cases of Simpson grade Ⅱ)was achieved in 19 cases (55.9%),subtotal resection (Simpson grade Ⅲ )in 14 cases (41.2%), and partial resection (Simpson grade Ⅳ )was achieved in 1 case (2.9%).The major complications were cranial nerve injuries (such as oculomotor nerve, trochlear nerve and abducens nerve,n=6),the contralateral limb paresis (n = 2),postoperative bleeding (n = 1),CSF leak with infection (n=3),and secondary epilepsy (n = 3 ); no death occurred postoperatively. All these patients were followed up for about 3 to 48 months.Postoperative headache disappeared in 24 cases (80%),and 6 cases were alleviated (20%);postoperative vision improved in 12 cases (80%),remained unchanged in 2 cases (13.3%)and deteriorated in 1 case (6.7%); postoperative olfactory function improved in 5 cases (62.5%) and 3 cases unchanged (37.5%); 5 cases recoverd from the ocular motility disorder (71.4%), and 2 cases unchanged (28.6%);7 cases recoverd from thehemiplegia (100%).One of the total resection cases (5.2%)and two of the non-total resection (13.3%)suffered from tumor recurrence.All of the non-total resection cases were treated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery.Conclusion The clinical effect of microneurosurgery associated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery in treatment of large meningiomas in sellar region is satisfactory.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between interleukin-1 (IL-1) gene polymorphisms and the susceptibility of chronic periodontitis in Uighur minority in Xingjiang province of China.

METHODSThe buccal swabs were collected from 41 severe chronic periodontitis (CP) patients, 43 moderate CP patients, 49 mild CP patients and 92 healthy controls. DNA was extracted from these buccal swabs. Genotypes of the IL-1A-889/NcoI and IL-1B+3954/TaqI were determined by sequence specific primers-polymerase chain reaction(SSP-PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP). Then distribution of genotypes for IL-1A-889 and IL-1B+3954 were compared among the different groups.

RESULTS(1) There were no significant differences in the distribution of IL-1A-889 among severe CP patients, moderate CP patients, mild CP patients and healthy controls. (2) Frequencies of allele 2 for IL-1B+3954 were higher in severe CP patients than in healthy controls, and the difference was statistically significant. But there were no such significant differences either between moderate CP patients and healthy controls or between mild CP patients and healthy controls.

CONCLUSIONThese results suggest that IL-1B+3953 allele 2 may be a risk indicator for the susceptibility to severe chronic periodontitis in Uighur minority in Xingjiang of China.

OBJECTIVETo study the function of zinc in preventing human sperm from being damaged by sodium nitroprusside (SNP), an external NO donor.

METHODSAnalyses were made of the function of zinc in protecting sperm from being influenced by SNP in such aspects as sperm motility, head-tail connection and the breakage of sperm DNA chain by using phase-contrast microscope and single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE).

RESULTSSperm motility was obviously inhibited by SNP. The percentage of comet cells increased significantly but the stability of sperm head-tail connection decreased. Zinc could promote sperm motility, protect the DNA chain and prevent the sperm head-tail connection from breaking.

CONCLUSIONZinc can protect sperm from being damaged by NO. Its mechanism may be related to the mercaptol group of sperm chromatin.
