Objective To detect the genetic association between schizophrenia and polymorphism of phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) gene. Methods Observed in a sample of 98 parent/offspring trios where the proband net the Amerecan Classification and diagnostic Criteria for Mental Disorders The Forth Revised Edition,criteria for schizophrenia using correlation analysis and haplotype relative risk analysis. The polymorphism of phosphodiesterase 4B gene was detected with PCR methods and SNP typing in all nucleus families. Results The rs2180335 al-lele was connected with schizophrenia (P = 0.02131). Allele A was protective factor (Z = -2. 184) and allele G was the hazard factor (Z = 2.184). The frequency of rs2180335 allele A was 0.452 and the allele G was 0.548. The rs1040716, rs 3767311 and rs472952 allele was independence with schizophrenia. Five kinds haplotypes of A/A in the rs2180335-rs3767311, A/A in the rs 3767311-rs472952, A/A/A in the rs2180335-rs3767311-rs472952,A/G/G/A and T/A/A/A in the rs1040716-rs2180335-rs3767311-rs472952 associated with schizophrenia (P values were 0. 028715,0. 034845,0. 024177,0. 023967,0. 010839,genotype frequencies were 0. 223, 0.223,0.127,0.081,0.073). Conclusion It shows an association between schizophrenia and the rs2180335 polymorphism at nucleotide of phosphodiesterase 4B gene in Chinese.

Twenty eight patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) underwent continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH)in ICU from June 2003 to June 2008, including 13 cases treated with predilution mode and 15 with postdilution mode. The changes of oxygenate index( PaO2/FiO2 )during CVVH were retrospectively analyzed. The total case fatality rate of this group of patients was 46%(13/28). There was a significant increase in PaO2/FiO2 of 28 cases during the first 48 h of CVVH (P ＜0. 05);the levels of PaO2/FiO2 in predilution group had increased significantly within 48 h during CVVH (P＜0. 05), while those in postdilution group had not significantly changed (P ＞ 0. 05). There was a significant increase in Pa02/FiO2 for the survival patients during the first 48h CVVH( P ＜ 0. 05 ), while no significantly change in the fatal cases(P ＞0. 05 ). In summary, oxygenate function and outcome of patients with MODS can be improved by CVVH, and predilution may be a more effective mode.

Objective To observe the correlation of histologicalactivity(HAI) of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) with CCL20 expression, and to investigate the impact of CCL20 expression in CHB infection. Methods On the basis of established competitive quantitative RT-PCR with an internal standard, the expression of the CCL20 in the hepatocytes in different infected patterns of HBV infected cells and liver biopsies were quantified and at the same time its correlation to HAI were explored. Results In the cell levels, the expression quantity of CCL20 in control cells (HepG2), persistent HBV infected hepatocytes( HepG2. 2. 15) are (2. 65 ± 0. 02) pg/106 cells, ( 1.22± 0. 04) pg/106 cells, respectively. There were significantly differences between them ( t = 39. 66, P < 0. 01 ). The expression of CCL20 was enhanced in hepatocytes stimulated by PMA but their expression pauern was not changed. Moreover, CCL20 expression in liver biopsies with CHB was (3.54 ± 0. 65 ) pg/20 mg and CCL20 expression in control groups was ( 8. 74±0. 56) pg/20 mg. The expression of CCL20 between two groups was different (t =30. 09,P <0. 01 ) and correlation lied in between HAI and CCL20 expression in liver biopsies of CHB patients ( r = 0. 675, P =0. 023 ). Conclusion CCL20 expression was down-regulated and it was correlated to HAI of liver biopsies in CHB patients.

Objective To determine the distribution and antibiotic resistance of hospital - associated pneu-monia(HAP) in senile patient,and the high risk factors of HAP,pathogenic bacterium and prognosis,so as to instruct the clinic prevention and treatment. Methods Patients with age over 60 years old,who were diagnosed of HAP with confirmed pathogens. Pathogens were identified, then the antibiotic resistance was determined by Kirty-Baucer disk dif-fusion assay. High risk factors of HAP, pathogenic bacterium and prognosis were analyzed by Logistic regression analy-sis. Results The first 10th pathogens of HAP patients were pseudomonas aeruginosa( 16.1% ),staphylococcus au-reus( 14.6% ) ,klebsiella pneumonia( 10.2% ), escherichia coil (8.8%) ,staphylococcus hemolyticus (7.3%). MR-SA accounted for 90% in staphylococcus aureus. The drug resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa to imipenem was 29.5%. The high risk factors of HAP were acute brain accident, hypoalbuminemia, tracheal intubation or mechanical ventilation, rennal failure,COPD, gastric tube, anaemia,liver disfunction,long length of stay ( all P < 0.05 ). The mor-tality of senile HAP was 29.2%. Conclusion There are high antibiotic resistance and high mortality of HAP in se-nile patients. Measures should be taken to modify the risk factors.

Objective To explore the impact of waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) in type 2 diabetic probands on the phenotype of insulin resistance and β-cell function in normoglycemic first-degree relatives. Methods One hundred and eighty-six type 2 diabetic probands and 489 normoglycemic first-degree relatives were selected from 186 type 2 diabetes core families. 115 first-degree relatives (FDR1 group) of probands with low WHR (1st quartile: <0.86 for males and <0.84 for females) and 106 first-degree relatives (FDR2 group) of probands with high WHR (4th quartile: >0.92 for males and >0.89 for females) were identified to intensively study from 489 normoglycemic first-degree relatives. The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was used to estimate insulin sensitivity, and β-cell function was quantified as the ratio of the incremental insulin to glucose responses over the first 30 min (△I30/△G30) during the oral glucose tolerance test. The latter measure was also adjusted for the assay of insulin sensitivity as it modulated β-cell function (△I,,30>·△G-1,30·HOMA-IR-1). Results The body mass index, the waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio in female first-degree relatives, systolic blood pressure, triglyceride and HOMA-1R were significantly higher in FDR2 group than those in FDR1 group andhigh density lipoprotein cholesterol,△I30/△G30, △I-130·HOMA-IR-1were significantly lower in FDR2 group than those in FDRI group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.O1). The waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio in relatives of probands with low and high WHR were positively correlated with the HOMA-IR. However, the least square regression analysis showed that the slope from regression in FDR2 group were significantly steeper than thatin FDR1 group(both P <0.01). Conclusion The normoglycemic first-degree relatives of the type 2 diabetic probands with high WHR had much more evident phenotype of insulin resistance and decreased β-cell function, and a slight increase in abdominal obesity had a greater impact on insulin resistance.
