Objective To investigate the relationship between homocystine (Hcy) ,methylenetetra hydrofolate reductase(M T H-FR) C677T and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM ) .Methods A total of 91 GDM cases(GDM group) and 123 cases with normal pregnancy(control group) were detected for the C677T polymorphism of M T HFR and serum levels of Hcy and glucose .Results Serum Hcy level in GDM group was remarkable higher than that of control group (P< 0 .05) .Hcy level was positively correlated with fasting plasma glucose ( P < 0 .05) .The genotype frequencies (CC ,CT ,TT ) of M T HFR C677T in GDM group and control group were with significantly difference(P< 0 .05) .Hcy was significantly higher in women with C677T TT genotype than those with CC genotype(P< 0 .05) .Conclusion Hcy could be related to GDM .The mutation of M T HFR might affect serum Hcy level , and be involved in the occurrence and development of GDM .

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum 1 ,25‐hydroxy vitamin D3 concentration level and children with bronchial asthma .Methods 222 children with bronchial asthma treated in paediatrics of Zhongshan Boai hospital from 2012 Jan 2014 Dec were chosen as asthma group(A) ,while 223 cases of healthy children were selected as control group(C) .Electro‐chemical luminescence method was used to detect the serum level ,and its effect on asthma was disscussed .Results The concen‐tration of serum 1 ,25‐hydroxy vitamin D3 of asthma group (86 .30 ± 27 .70 nmol/L) was low than the control group ( 93 .39 ± 27 . 15nmol/)L .Serum levels of asthma group in different age groups (A1 ,A2 and A3) were 106 .87 ± 28 .28 nmol/L ,88 .98 ± 20 .65 nmol/L ,68 .38 ± 19 .23 nmol/L respectively ,While those of control groups were (110 .00 ± 22 .30) nmol/L ,(87 .36 ± 24 .42) nmol/L ,(21 .23 ± 16 .42) nmol/L respectively .Male and female serum level in asthma group were (88 .26 ± 27 .73)nmol/L and (81 .94 ± 26 .91)nmol/L respectively .While those of control group were(91 .91 ± 26 .57)nmol/L and (85 .69 ± 28 .04) nmol/L re‐spectively .Conclusion There is significant correlation between serum 1 ,25‐hydroxy vitamin D3 level and children with bronchial asthma .,yet no correlation between serum level and gender .1 ,25‐hydroxy vitamin D3 duficiency is one of the risk factors of chil‐dren asthma .

Objective To investigate the application value of procalcitonin (PCT ) ,C-reactive protein (CRP) ,prealbumi (PA ) and white blood cell count (WBC))in children with hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) .Methods A total of 209 children with HFMD were classified into ordinary group (171 patients) and severe group (38 patients) according to the condition of disease ,an-other 30 healthy children were selected as the control group .The levels of PCT ,CRP ,PA and WBC in the three groups were meas-ured and compared .Results The levels of PCT ,CRP ,PA and WBC of ordinary group were 0 .16(0 .08 - 0 .34)μg/L ,11 .7(5 .0 -19 .0)mg/L ,(142 .6 ± 38 .4)mg /L and (11 .3 ± 4 .6) × 129 /L respectively ,and those of severe group were 0 .26(0 .14 - 0 .92)μg /L , 18 .4(5 .3 - 41 .4) mg /L ,(125 .5 ± 32 .9)mg/L and (13 .0 ± 5 .6) × 129 /L respectively .The PCT ,CRP ,PA and WBC in ordinary group and severe group were significantly different with those in the control group (P < 0 .05) .The PCT ,CRP and PA in severe group had statistical differences compared with those in the ordinary group (P< 0 .05) .Conclusion PCT ,CRP ,PA and WBC could be used as reference indexes of inflammation in HFMD ,and could be used in the diagnosis of HFMD in children ,PCT and PA could be used to evaluate the severity of disease .

OBJECTIVE To study the effects and mechanisms of serum containing Wenjing Tongluo Decoction on interleukin-1β(IL-1β)-induced mouse primary chondrocyte injury.METHODS The IL-1β-induced primary chondrocyte injury model was estab-lished,and the mRNA expression of inflammatory factors IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,cartilage degradation-related proteases matrix metal-loproteinase 3(MMP3),MMP9,MMP13,ADAM metallopeptidase containing thrombospondin 1 motif 4(ADAMTS4),and glycoly-sis-related enzymes lactate dehydrogenase A(LDHA),M2 pyruvate kinase(PKM2),reduced coenzyme Ⅱ oxidase 2(NOX2)and re-duced coenzyme Ⅱ oxidase 4(NOX4)in the cells was detected;the intracellular MMP3,MMP13,P65,IκB-ζ,hypoxia-inducible factor 1α(HIF-1α)and LDHA protein expression levels were determined;the concentrations of nitric oxide(NO),malondialdehyde(MDA)and lactic acid in the cell supernatant were further detected,and the ratio of the reduced state(NADH)and oxidized state(NAD+)of intracellular coenzyme Ⅰ(NAD),as well as intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels were assayed.RESULTS Serum containing Wenjing Tongluo Decoction significantly inhibited the mRNA expression of IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α in IL-1β chondrocytes(P＜0.01),reduced the NO concentration in the cell supernatant(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and downregulated the protein ex-pression of IκB-ζ(P＜0.05)and P65(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Serum containing Wenjing Tongluo Decoction significantly downregulated the mRNA expression of MMP3,MMP9,MMP13 and ADAMTS4(P＜0.01),and inhibited the protein expression of MMP13(P＜0.05,P＜0.01)and MMP3(P＜0.05).In terms of oxidative stress,it significantly suppressed the production of ROS in chondrocytes,increased the NADH/NAD+ratio,reduced the MDA concentration in the supernatant,and downregulated the expression of HIF-1α protein(P＜0.01).The serum containing Wenjing Tongluo Decoction significantly reduced the lactic acid concentration,downregulated the expression of LDHA,PKM2,NOX2 and NOX4,and reduced the level of intracellular glycolysis(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).CONCLU-SION The serum containing Wenjing Tongluo Decoction can alleviate IL-1β-induced mouse primary chondrocyte injury by inhibiting inflammation,cartilage degradation,oxidative stress and glycolysis,which may be related to the regulation of IκB-ζ/HIF-1α/LDHA axis.
