Gastric cancer is the second most common cancer in China. Alcohol consumption is related to gastric cancer as a sig-nificant risk factor. Some key enzymes is expected to influence the alcohol-associated metabolism. There are many molecular mechanisms of alcohol-related gastric cancer, such as generation of acetaldehyde by microbiome, inflammation, up-regulation of Pol Ⅲ genes, carcinogen-DNA adduct formation and genetic polymorphisms of alcohol metabolizing enzymes. Different types and concentrations of alcohol have different effects on the devel-opment of gastric cancer. This review presents a systematic ex-position on the molecular mechanism of alcohol-associated gastric cancer.

OBJECTIVETo study the correlation between vitamin D receptor genetic polymorphism Fokand vitamin D deficiency rickets in children between 1 to 3 years old, and to explore the significance of hereditary factors in the development of vitamin D deficiency rickets.

METHODSSixty-two children with vitamin D deficiency rickets and 60 healthy children as a control group were enrolled. Serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 were measured using ELISA. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) genetic analysis method was used. A restriction fragment length polymorphism in the vitamin D receptor genetic polymorphism Fok I was tested. The frequencies of the vitamin D receptor genotype and allele were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSSerum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels in the rickets group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( 9.1+/-4.1 ng/mL vs 16.1+/-6.9 ng/mL; P<0.05 ). FF genotype in the vitamin D receptor genetic polymorphism Fok I was more common in the rickets group than in the control group (53% vs 25%; P<0.05). F allele frequency in the rickets group was significantly higher than that in the control group (73% vs 57%; P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThere is a correlation between vitamin D receptor genetic polymorphism Fok I and vitamin D deficiency rickets. This suggests that vitamin D receptor genetic polymorphism might play an important role in determining susceptibility to development of vitamin D deficiency rickets.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of compound qizhu granule (CQG) on cellular immunity of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients.

METHODSTotally 103 CHB patients treated with lamivudin (LAM) for 6 months, who had partial virological response (HBeAg positive) were randomly assigned to two groups, 50 in the treatment group and 53 in the control group. All patients took LAM 100 mg (once a day) plus ADV 10 mg (once a day). Patients in the treatment group additionally took CQG, one dose per day. After one-year treatment hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA negative rates, HBeAg seroconversion, levels of HBV specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL), non-specific CTL and natural killing (NK) cells were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSAfter 1-year treatment, HBV DNA negative rate of the treatment group was 88: 0% in 44 cases, slightly higher than that of the control group (41 cases, 77.4%), but with no statistical difference (P >0.05). HBeAg seroconversion of the treatment group was 32.0% in 16 cases, higher than that of the control group (8 cases, 15.1%), with statistical difference (P <0.05). Levels of HBV specific CTL (0.79%±0. 07%), non-specific CTL (19.4%±1.8%) and NK cells (14. 1%± 1.5%) of the treatment group were higher than those of the control group (0.58% ± 0.08%, 17.5% ± 1.7%, and 11.1%±1.5%, respectively; allP <0.01).

CONCLUSIONTreating CHB patients with partial virological response by ADV plus CQG could improve specific and non-specific cellular immunity, thereby elevating HBeAg seroconversion rate.

Objective To observe the association between job stress (effort-reward imbalance model) and blood lipids among university staff in Yunnan province. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1244 university staff in Yunnan province. The job stress was measured by the validated Chinese self-reported Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire (ERI). Blood lipids were measured in all participated staff members. Results After adjustment for relevant confounding factors, it was found that the risk of increased serum triglyceride was 3.5 folds higher in male staffs with high extrinsic effort compared those with low extrinsic effort (OR = 3.45, 95% CI: 1.32-9.04) while the risk of increased serum low density lipoprotein-cholesterol was 2.9 folds higher in male staffs with high overcommitment compared those with low overcommitment (OR = 2.86, 95% CI: 1.03-7.96). The risk of elevated serum triglyceride increased in proportion to increasing job stress: 3.5 folds increase in male staffs with moderate job stress (OR = 3.43,95% CI: 1.24-9.53) and 4 folds increase in male staffs with high job stress (OR = 4.16, 95% CI: 1.42-12.17) compared those with low job stress. However, there was no significant association between job stress and lipid profile in female staffs. Conclusion Our results show that job stress (effort-reward imbalance) is positively associated with abnormal blood lipids in male university staffs.

The study was aimed to investigate the clinical significance of coagulation function changes in lymphoma patients and to analyze the relationship between their changes and international prognostic index (IPI). The prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT) and fibrinogen (FIB) were detected by magnetic bead method in 75 lymphoma patients and 20 healthy persons. The dehydrogenase (LDH) level was detected by rate method in all lymphoma patients and healthy persons. The results showed that (1) the APTT and FIB more obviously increased in lymphoma patients which displayed as hyperfibrinogenemia, as compared with control group (p < 0.05, p < 0.01); no obvious changes of coagulation indexes presented in patients with different ages and extranodal lesions (p > 0.05, p < 0.01). (2) APTT and FIB levels in stage III and IV patients were much higher than those in the stage II (p < 0.05 and < 0.01), and FIB level in stage IV group was significantly higher than those in the stage III (p < 0.05). FIB level in symptomatic group was significantly higher than that in asymptomatic group (p < 0.01). (3) APTT and FIB in increased LDH group were obviously higher than those in control group (p < 0.05, p < 0.01). Furthermore, FIB in increased LDH group was higher than that in normal LDH group (p < 0.05). FIB in performance status (PS) 2 - 4 groups increased significantly as compared with those in PS 0-1 group (p < 0.01). (4)FIB levels in the low-middle-risk, high-middle-risk and high-risk groups were significantly higher than those in control group (p < 0.01), while FIB levels in high-middle-risk and high-risk groups were higher than those in low-risk group (p < 0.05). (5) the number of FIB increased patients in symptomatic group, increased LDH group, PS 2 - 4 group and Ann Arbor stage III-IV group were much higher than those in counterparts (p < 0.05 or 0.01).There were positive correlations between FIB and LDH level, PS grades, Ann Arbor stages as well as risk grades respectively (p < 0.05 or 0.01). It is concluded that lymphoma patients usually accompany with hyperfibrinogenemia which may be influenced by Ann Arbor stage, systemic symptom, LDH level and PS grade. FIB is supposed to be an effective indication of prognosis in lymphoma patients.
