Objective To explore the coastal state of hypertension among rural population and its relationship between the prevalence of metabolic syndrome(MS).Methods Lianyungang coastal rural residents 11089 people for primary hypertension epidemic learn research,age qualified for 45～75age,measurement height,body quality,waist,blood pressure,lipid and fasting blood glucose,respectively in accordance with international diabetes Union(IDF)and CDS of MS diagnosis standard calculation illness rate,and on gender,age,and hypertension level(Ⅰ,and Ⅱ,andⅢ,level),effects factors for correlation analysis.Results 11089 people(male 3985 people,female 7104 people)in the IDF standard MS total illness rate for 44.3％(male,and female MS illness rate respectively for 25.4％,and 54.9％),CDS standard MS total illness rate for 37％,two species diagnosis standard of meet rate for 79.9％;except blood glucose outside,female residents waist,TG,and HDL-C,indicators exception occurs rate obvious than male(x2=1399.198,554.801,652.110,all P＜0.01).Conclusion Lianyungang coastal MS prevalence in rural areas is higher than the general average in the middle-aged;female patients with hypertension and obesity are very high risk population of MS;hypertension pathogenesis is longer,higher prevalence of MS.

OBJECTIVETo study the relationship between polymorphism of inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS) gene and the susceptibility of intestinal type stomach cancer and stomach cardia cancer in Chinese people.

METHODSA community-based case-control study was designed. Ninety-three intestinal type of stomach cancer and 50 stomach cardia cancer patients with endoscopy and pathology diagnosis were identified as cases. Two hundred and forty-six controls served as controls.

RESULTSC-->T polymorphism was found in exon 16 of iNOS gene, which changed the coding amino acid from serine to leucine, and formed a recognition site identified by Tsp 509 I restriction enzyme (we called it C-->T polymorphism). The T allele gene frequency in the control group was 13.21%. No statistically significant difference was found between C-->T polymorphism alone and the increased susceptibility to intestinal stomach cancer or stomach cardia cancer. A significant type 2 multiplicative interaction was found in increasing both the risk of intestinal stomach cancer and stomach cardia cancer when both C-->T polymorphism and tobacco smoking exposure existed. An additive interaction model, which showed statistically significant difference, was found to increase only the risk of stomach cardia cancer when CagA antibody shared negative but C-->T polymorphism occurred.

CONCLUSIONC-->T polymorphism of iNOS gene was considered as one of the possible susceptible genes, which specifically increased the risk of tobacco-related but CagA negative types of intestinal stomach cancer and stomach cardia cancer.

OBJECTIVETo find out the distributive features of some metabolic genes polymorphisms in Han population of south area of China.

METHODSStudy population was obtained from the controls of a community based case-control study, which included 290 blood relatives (inner control) and 404 non-blood relatives (outer control).

RESULTSFrequencies of CYP1A1, GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms had no significant difference among confounding factors, such as sex, living areas, stomach cancer family history and history of tobacco smoking etc. Some controls showed significant difference in age group and alcohol drinking which would be adjusted in analysis of the relationship between polymorphisms and cancers. CYP1A1 Ile/Val and Val/Val genotypes were 33.43% and 5.62% respectively, which were similar to other results from Chinese and Japanese, but higher than those from Caucasians in American, Europe and African-Americans. GSTM1 null allele frequency was 53.48% in our population, which showed difference even among Chinese in different areas. GSTT1 null allele frequency was 45.78%, which was significantly higher than that in Caucasians and African-American.

CONCLUSIONThe frequencies of CYP1A1 Ile/Val, Val/Val and GSTT1 null in Han population in south area of China are significantly higher than those in other races, while the ethnic difference of frequency of GSTM1 null is less.
