Objective To investigate the expressions of CDX2 and β-catenin in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and their correlation. Methods Real-time PCR was used to determine the expressions of CDX2 and β-catenin mRNA in 43 de novo ALL and 30 non-malignant patients (used as control). Results The positivity rate of CDX2 mRNA expression in ALL group was 93%, but CDX2 mRNA expression couldn′t be detected in the control group (P<0.01). The mRNA expression of β-catenin could be detected in patients in both two groups, butβ-catenin mRNA expression in the ALL group was significantly higher than in the control group (P < 0.01). And mRNA expressions of CDX2 andβ-catenin were significantly correlated with WBC counts and LDH level (P<0.01). When the ALL patients acquired complete remission (CR), the mRNA expressions of CDX2 and β-catenin were significantly decreased compared with their newly diagnosed status , while disease-relapsed the mRNA expressions of CDX2 andβ-catenin were increased again. There was significantly positive correlation between CDX2 and β-catenin mRNA expressions (r = 0.835, P = 0.000). Conclusion Up-regulation of CDX2 and activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway coexist in the ALL patients and the mRNA expressions of CDX2 and β-catenin are positively correlated.

Objective To analyze the association of blood uric acid level with the severity of coronary artery stenotic changes, metabolic syndrome (MS), and its components. Methods A total of 343 individuals ( male 223,female 120) who underwent coronary angiography and had complete data on MS and serum uric acid were collected. The severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) was assessed by the coronary stenesis index (CSI). MS was diagnosed according to the Guideline on Prevention and Treatment of Blood Lipid Abnormality in Chinese Adults. Results (1)The mean uric acid level was significantly lower in women than in men [ ( 306.3±76.9 vs 358.9±85.2 ) μmol/L, P<0.01 ]. The prevalence of MS and its components showed no difference between men and women. (2) The uric acid level in women with 3 components was higher than those with1( P<0. 01 ) or 2 ( P<0.05 ) components of metabolic disorders, but not in men. (3) Quartiles of concentration of uric acid were computed. Compared with those in the lowest quartile of uric acid, women in the highest quartile had higher CSI score [ 7.0 (2.5-12.0) vs 2. 0( 0.0-6.0), P= 0. 025 ]. Moreover, the uric acid level was higher in women with multivessel lesions than nonCAD patients [ (327.0±81.9 vs 284.9±78.6) μmol/L, P = 0.033 ]. However, no correlation was found between uric acid level and the severity of coronary artery lesion in men. (4) Logistic regression showed that age (β=0.042, P=0. 007) and dyslipidemia(β=0.836, P=0. 037 ) were the independent risk factors of CAD in men, and hypertension(β=1. 127, P=0.039) and dyslipidemia(β=0.901, P=0.009)in women. Conclusions In women with higher uric acid level, the clustering of metabolic abnormalities was increased, and the coronary artery lesion was more severe. High uric acid level might be a marker of CAD for women.
