Objective Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder of aging.Identifying novel AD genetic risk factors is important for understanding its pathogenesis.Presenilin- 2 (PSEN2) is one of the causative genes for familial AD.Polymorphism of the promoter region of PSEN2 has recently been reported to be associated with sporadic AD in a Russian population.The purpose of this study was to determine whether AD is associated with the PSEN2 gene polymorphism in a case-control study.Methods We examined PSEN2 and ApoE genotypes of 160 patients with AD and an equal number of age- and sex-matched controls from the same community by using PCR-RFLP method.Statistical analyses included a Chi-square test for homogeneity and a Logistic regression analysis.Results Examination of PSEN2 genotypes revealed no statistically significant differences in the frequency of the+A/-A polymorphism when compared with the total sample of AD patients and control individuals (P=0.11). However,subgroup of ApoE 84 non-carriers suggested significant differences of the three genotypes of PSEN2 promoter between AD and controls (P=0.038).Logistic analyses indicated ApoE genotypes were related with AD,and after stratification by e4 allele,PSEN2 genotypes were related with AD of e4 non-carriers.In addition,there was no interaction between ApoE and PSEN2 gene.Conclusion The+A/-A polymorphism of PSEN2 promoter may be a minor genetic risk factor for sporadic AD,especially in the group of AD without ApoE ?4 allele.

As a method of choice in the treatment of ampulary carcinoma,pancreaticoduodenectomy often demands open procedure.With the development of minimally invasive techniques,laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy was realized in recent years.Because laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy is high technique-demanding,its popularization is restricted.With flexible robotic arnls and three-dimensional imaging,Da Vinci surgical system has overcome the shortcomings of traditional laparoscope to some extent.In March 2010.a 60-year-old female patient with ampulary carcinoma underwent Da Vinci surgical system-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy at the Southwest Hospital.The mean operation time and blood loss were 490 minutes and 450 ml respectively,and no blood transfusion was required.Out-of-bed activity began shortly after the operation.The gastric tube was removed and fluid diet was given on postoperative day 3.The patient was discharged on postoperative day 10 without incidence of complications.The Success of this case preliminarily demonstrats that Da Vinci snrgical system-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy is safe and feasible.

Objective To investigate the expression of FHIT,WWOX and MDR1 gene in nasopharyngeal carcinoma and FHIT and WWOX mechanism of inactivation.Methods Real-time PCR was used to test FHIT,WWOX and MDR1 gene′s mRNA expression in 89 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients (experimental group) and 61 inflammatory patients (control group).Q-MSP was used to test the FHIT and WWOX promoter methylation status.Denatured polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to test the LOH of FHIT and WWOX gene.Results (1)The three genes′ mRNA expression were different between experimental group and control group (P<0.05).After grouped according to the histological type and clinical stages,the expression of FHIT and WWOX mRNA between the patients with serious illness or poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma and mild cases or highly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma were significantly different in the experimental group,the difference is statistically significant (P<0.05)Meanwhile,the FHIT and WWOX mRNA expression had statistical association with the clinical stage and histological type(r=-0.731,P=0.000;r=-0.816,P=0.000;r=-0.626,P=0.000;r=-0.536,P=0.001).The MDR1 mRNA expression was different between poorly and highly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (P=0.021),which was statistical associated with the histological type (r=-0.697,P<0.001).(2)The degrees of FHIT and WWOX promoter methylation in the experimental group was higher than those in the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05);Also,the expression of FHIT and WWOX mRNA were closely related to the degree of promoter methylation(r=-0.689,P=0.000;r=-0.594,P=0.000).(3) In the experimental group,there were 39 cases (43.8%) of LOH in the FHIT gene,and 42 cases (47.2%)of the WWOX genes were significantly higher than those in the control group (4.9% and 3.3%),the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The FHIT and WWOX gene mRNA were negatively correlated with the loss of heterozygosity(r=-0.239,P=0.049;r=-0.364,P=0.013).Conclusion Promoter methylation is the main reason for the down-regulation of FHIT gene and WWOX gene expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients,which may be the main reason for the occurrence and development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.The higher expression of MDR 1 mRNA is statistical association with the histological type.

AIM:To investigate the differences among Lenstar 900, A-scan ultrasound and keratometer in measurement of axial length ( AL ) , anterior chamber depth ( ACD ) and corneal curvature ( K1 , K2 , Km ) , and evaluate the consistency of the instruments, with the purpose providing references for the clinical application of Lenstar 900.
METHODS: In this study we picked up 36 patients ( 50 eyes ) underwent cataract surgery, and lens nucleus hardness were under level IV. Before the operation, AL, ACD and K1 , K2 , Km were measured by Lenstar 900, A-scan ultrasound and keratometer respectively. The differences between the results were compared by the paired t-test. The correlation of the results was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis, and the consistency was measured by Bland-Ahamn method.
RESULTS: The mean AL and ACD values measured by Lenstar 900 and A-scan ultrasound had no significantly statistic differences (P>0. 05). The K1, K2, Km measured by Lenstar 900 and keratometer were not significantly statistical different (P>0. 05). The results measured by these three instruments had close linearity correlation ( r>0.9, P<0. 01). The consistency of the results was well in Bland-Ahamn analysis.
CONCLUSION:The preoperatively biometric result of Lenstar 900, A - scan ultrasound and keratometer in patients with cataract are all reliable, and they can be substituted by each other. However, Lenstar 900 can not only measure AL, ACD and corneal curvature at the same time, but also cornal thickness, lens thickness, white to white, pupil size, optical axis eccentricity, retinal thickness and so on. It has a number of advantages such as non-touching, convenient and efficient, and can be recommended to use widely.

Objective To compare the efficiency of oscillation with sonication in preparing nano-scale microbubbles (NBs).Methods Nano-scale microbubbles were prepared using oscillation and sonication respectively,and then compared the NBs' size,size distribution,concentrations and time-consumption of the two methods.Results The sizes of nanobubbles prepared by sonication and oscillation were (373.88 ±18.43)nm and (360.74 ± 14.39)nm,respectively.There was no significant difference in size between the two methods (P =0.523).The polidispersity was larger in sonication before centrifugation,there was significant difference between the two methods (P ＜0.001).The concentration of nanobubbles prepared by oscillation was (1.48 ± 0.15) × 1010,which was higher than that by oscillation [(8.07 ± 0.62) × 108],there was significant difference between the two methods (P ＜ 0.001).The consuming time was shorter in oscillation,the difference was significant when compared with sonication (P ＜0.001).Conclusions Both two methods can successfully prepare NBs.Compared with sonication,oscillation can effectively produce NBs with smaller polidispersity,higher concentration and shorter time-consumption.

Objective To investigate the onset of left ventricular remodeling (LVRM) after acute myocardium infarction (AMI) and its changes within 6 hours in dogs on echocardiography. Methods AMI was induced in 14 dogs by ligating the left anterior descending arteries. Eight myocardium infarcted models were successful and were sacrified for pathological study. The indices of LVRM: wall infarction thickness (WIT), the wall motion score index (WMSI), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were evaluated before and 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5 h and 6 h after operation. Results Compared with the pre-operation, WIT and LVEF were decreased (P<0.01), LVESV and WMSI were increased (P<0.01), and LVEDV was increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01) at every time point after operation. WIT had no significant difference at 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5h and 6h after operation (P＞0.05). LVEDV, LVESV were higher (P<0.05) and LVEF was lower (P<0.05 or P<0.01) at 4 h, 5 h, and 6 h than at 1 h, and 2 h after operation. WMSI was higher at 3 h, 4 h, 5 h, and 6 h than at 1h (P<0.05). Conclusions In our experiment, LVRM occurred at 1 h after AMI in dogs. Thus echocardiography may evaluate early LVRM.

Objective To investigate the fluctuation of the iodine deficiency disorders(IDD) through continuous monitoring on it. Methods During 2005-2008, 10 monitoring countis (city,district) of IDD were selected in Jiangxi Province. Five townships were selected in each monitoring county, one school was selected in each townships, and 40 students in 8-10 years old from each school were selected to inspect their thyroid glands and determined the idodine content of salts from their home. Among the 40 students, 20 of which were selected to determine the intelligence quotient(IQ) and 6 of which were selected to determine urine iodine. Thirty pregnant women were also selected to determine the urine iodine in each monitoring county. Twenty students of 5th grade in each school and 5 housewives living nearby the school were selected to carry out the questionnaire survey of health education about IDD. Results Monitoring results showed the average goiter rote of 8-10 years old students was between 2.00% and 4.60% during 2005-2008. The rate of IQ of the students higher than 90 was all above 76% each year. The median of urine iodine of students and pregnant women was higher than 100 μg/L, and the proportion of people whose urine iodine content was lower than 50 μg/L was below 4% each year. The rate of inhabitant taking qualified idodine salt wasn't lower than 95%. The pass rate of the questionnaire survey of health education about IDD was between 11.67% and 43.50% in students and 92.50%-99.60% in housewives. Conclusions The situation of iodine deficiency in Jiangxi Province has been greatly improved, reaching the standard of eliminating IDD.
