DNA methylation is part of the epigenetic modification process,which can lead to aberrant gene expression. Cytochrome P450 enzyme,cyclooxygenase,lipoxygenase and monoamine oxidase are a class of enzymes produced by human tissues,which are involved in the oxidization pro?cess of endogenous and exogenous chemicals. The methylation patterns of these enzyme genes are dif?ferent between normal tissues and pathological ones. Abnormal methylation patterns will change en?zymes′expression and function,and affect the occurrence and development of diseases. This paper re?viewed the characteristic changes of four oxidative metabolic enzyme genes in certain diseased tis?sues,the impact on methylation status of the metabolic activity of chemicals and on human health. It is hoped that this review can provide a new theoretical basis for the study on the toxic mechanism of chemicals and for diagnosis of diseases.

Conclusion:The best processing technology of preparation Morinda Officinalis based on Monotropein content is: Liquorice of 6%,stir time of 10min and boiling pot temperature at 100 ℃.

Objective To investigate the intelligence development status of the low birth weight infants and its influence factors. Methods The intelligence developments of 135 low birth weight infants aged 6-30 months were investigated using Bayley Scales of Infant Development, and the self-development influential factors were analyzed with questionnaire.Results The average of MDI was 86.76±18.95 in 135 infants,of which the detection rate of MDI<80 points accounted for 17.8%and the detection rate of PDI<80 points accounted for 29.6%;birth weight of infant,age,the degree of parents,culture and feeding way had significant effects on MDI in infants;age and birth weight had significant effects on PDI in infants. Conclusion The development level of infants is influenced by multi-factors. More attention should be paid to reduce premature and low birth weight infants,improve the degree of parents' culture, advocate breastfeeding and conduct early intervention in order to assure the intelligence development of infants.

Objective:To study the relationship between smoking and P53 protein expression in oral tumor tissue.Methods:The expression of P53 protein in oral tumor tissue was detected in 22 smoking cases and 32 nonsmoking cases by immunohistochemical SP method. SAS software was used for statistic analysis.Results:The positive expression rate of P53 protein in smokers (90.91%) was higher than that in nonsmokers (46.88%,P0.05). Conclusion:Smoking may stimulate the mutation of p53 gene and play an important role in the carcinogenesis of oral tissues.

Objective:To study the genetic toxic effect of smoking on human oral mucosa,and the DNA damage of exfoliated oral mucosa cells.Methods:The DNA damage of exfoliated oral mucosa cells was investigated by single cell gel electrophoresis(SCGE)in 12 cases of malignant tumor,19 cases of benign tumor and 10 health controls.There were 24 smokers and 17 non-smokers among them.The tail length and frequency of comet cells were used to measure DNA damage.SPSS and SAS software were used for statistical analysis.Results:Malignant tumors had a longer tail length and higher frequency of comet cells than benign tumors and health controls,and the difference was statistically significant(P0.05).The DNA damage of exfoliated oral mucosa cells in smokers was more serious than that of non-smokers(P

Objective: To analyze the clinicopathologic characteristics of pancreatic cancer patients and explore the relationship between preoperative blood glucose level and prognosis of pancreatic cancer. Methods: The clinical data of 267 patients treated in The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2015 to September 2016 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. We also studied the correlation between preoperative blood glucose level and clinicopathologic characteristics of pancreatic cancer. Results: For the study we selected 110 patients (68 males and 42 females) aged between 41 and 84 years with the mean age of (61.34±10.33) years. Among them, 74 (67.27%) of them had preoperative blood glucose level (>6.1 mmol/L) higher than normal level. In addition, 57 patients (51.81%) and 33 patients (30.0%) had CEA level and CA125 level significantly higher than normal and 83 patients (75.45%) had higher CA199 level. There were 56 patients (50.91%)with tumor size over 3 cm and 73 (66.36%) with the tumor located in the head of pancreas. There were 92.73% of patients diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, 2.73% with squamous carcinoma, 2.73% with adenosquamous carcinoma and 1.81% with mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. As for pathological grading, there were 6 cases diagnosed with highly differentiated tumors, 65 cases moderate, 12 moderate to low differentiated, and 27 lowly differentiated tumors. For clinical stage, 2, 13, 27, 20, 15 and 33 patients were detected in stage A, IIIB, ⅡA, ⅡB, III and , respectively. In addition, there were 19 patients detected with lymph node metastases, 22 with distal metastases and 22 with neural invasion. All the 110 patients were followed up effectively, with the average follow-up duration of (4.6±3.8) months. Until the last time we followed up all the patients, we found the tumor relapsed in 14 patients. The median survival time of patients with normal blood glucose was 10 months, while it was only 4 months in patients with high blood glucose. Preoperative blood glucose level was closely related with the patients' prognosis and tumor size, TNM stage, distal metastasis, lymph node metastasis, and neural invasion. Conclusion: High blood glucose level is one of the risk factors for the poor prognosis of pancreatic cancer.

OBJECTIVE: To optimize the preparation process of Xiangsha Liujun Granule. METHODS: By the orthogonal design. taking the rates of recovery of volatile oil, Ginsenoside Re and qualified granules as the indexes, we optimized the oil extracting conditions, the decocting conditions and the conditions of granulation by spayer. RESULTS: The optimum oil ex- tracting conditions for four kinds of herbs(Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae etc.) were that water was 30 times of herbs in weight, soaking time was 3 hours and extracting time 15 hours. The optimum decocting conditions for four kinds of herbs(Fuling etc.) were that water was 15 times of herbs in weight, soaking time was 3 hours and decocting time 4 hours, herbs were decocted twice. The optimum conditions of granulation by sprayer were that the fliud extract was 2 times of Dextrin in weight, the rel- ative density of the fliud extract was 1. 30(measured at 25℃), the voltage of sprayer was 120 volts, the period of shaking bag was 65 times(shaking bag back and forth twice in each period). CONCLUSION: The results of the experiment make it clear that the preparation process of Xiangsha Liu jun Granule is stable and feasible.
