Objective To explore cardiovascular risk factors in patients of hypertension (HTN) complicated with non-alcoholic fatty liver but normal aminotransferase. Methods Forty-four cases (control group) of uncomplicated hypertension and 56 cases (study group) of hypertension complicated with nonalcoholic fatty liver but normal aminotransferase were screened from those who visited physical examination center of the hospital for regular checks-up during October 2009 to June 2010. Blood pressure ( BP), body mass index ( BMI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), total serum cholesterol (TC) , triglyceride (TG), highdensity lipoprotein-cholesterol ( HDL-C ), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ( LDL-C ), gammaglutamyltransferase ( GGT ), uric acid ( UA ) , highly-sensitive C-reactive protein ( hs-CRP) and homocysteine (Hey) of the two groups were compared. Results Comparing with the control group, the study group had higher diastolic blood pressure ( DBP) (t = 1898. 5, P < 0. 05) , BMI (t = - 5. 036, P < 0.01), FPG (t= -2.026, P<0.05), TG (t = 1923. 5, P<0.05), GGT (t = 1789, P <0.01), UA 0 = 1715, P<0.01), hs-CRP (t = 1832.5, P < 0.01) and lower level of HDL-C (t =2357.0, P< 0. 01). Serum activity of GGT correlated positively with BMI (rs = 0. 349, P = 0. 000), TG ( rs = 0.413,P =0.000), UA (rs =0.446, P= 0.000) and hs-CRP (rs =0.350, P = 0.000), respectively.Conclusions When patients of hypertension complicated with non-alcoholic fatty liver but normal aminotransferase, their cardiovascular risk factors clustered further, with serum activity of GGT obviously increased which correlated positively with various risk factors, indicating increase in cardiovascular risks.

OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy of ursodeoxycholic acid(UDCA)combined with S-adenosyl methio-nine (SAMe) in the treatment of mild intrahepatic cholestasis (ICP) of pregnancy. METHODS:213 pregnant patients with mild ICP were selected and randomly divided into combination group (107 cases) and single drug group (106 cases). Combination group received UDCA combined with SAMe,and single drug group was given UDCA alone. Therapeutic efficacy and pregnancy outcome were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:Compared to before treatment,TBA,CG,DBIL,ALT and AST of 2 groups were decreased after treatment,and the decrease of combination group was more significant than that of single drug group, with statistical significance(P<0.05). The time of itching control [(3.8±1.4)d] in combination group was lower than(5.3±1.5) d in single drug group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). After 3 and 5 days of treatment,itching degree score of combina-tion group was lower than that of single drug group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in fetal distress rate,neonatal asphyxia rate,amniotic fluid contamination rate,cesarean section rate and neonatal 1 min Apgar score between combination group and single drug group(P>0.05);the preterm birth rate of combination group was 11.22%,which was significantly lower than 20.75% of single drug group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Compared to UD-CA alone,UDCA combined with SAMe in the treatment of patients with ICP can control the clinical symptoms timely,recovery laboratory index as soon as possible and obtain better therapeutic efficacy.

Objective To determine the aberrant methylation status of TFPI-2,FOXE1 and NPTX2 gene promoter region in bile from cholangiocarcinoma patients and the diagnostic value for cholangiocarcinoma. Methods Methylation—specific PCR(MSP)was used to detect the promoter methylation status of TFPI-2, FOXE1 and NPTX2 genes in bile from 29 patients with cholangiocarcinoma and 27 patients with choledocholi-thiasis.The sensitivity and specificity of combined methylation of 3 promotors and brush cytology were analyzed. Results There was significant difference between the methylation rate of NPTX2,FOXE1 in choledocholithiasis group and cholangiocarcinoma group(75. 86% VS 25. 93%,χ2 = 13. 964,P<0. 05;44. 82%VS 14. 81%,χ2 = 4. 622,P<0. 05).There was no significant difference between the methylation rate of TFPI-2 in choledocholithiasis group and cholangiocarcinoma group(17. 24%VS 18. 52%,χ2 = 0. 016,P>0. 05).Positive rate was 34. 48% with endoscopic retrograde brush cytolog,and 86. 20% with promoter methylation of FOXE1 combined with NPTX2 genes,and there was significance difference in the positive rates between the two methods(χ2 = 14. 122,P< 0. 05). Conclusion The methylation rates of NPTX2,FOXE1 were significantly higher in choledocholithiasis group than those in the cholangiocarcinoma group. Detection of comethylation rate of the FOXE1 and NPTX2 genes could improve diagnostic sensitivity of cholangiocarcinoma.

OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy and safety of tobramycin dexamethasone in the treatment of meibo-mian gland dysfunction(MGD). METHODS:108 MGD patients were randomly divided into control group(53 cases)and observa-tion group(55 cases). Control group was given eyelid cleaning with conventional physical cleaning method,at the same time,giv-en Doxycycline hydrochloride tablets 0.1 g orally after meal,twice a day. Based on control group,observation group was addition-ally given Tobramycin and dexamethasone eye ointment with length of 1.0-1.5 cm,smearing into conjunctival sac,4 times a day. Treatment courses of 2 groups lasted for 4 weeks. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed as well as eyelid observation score, symptom score,the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α,the occurrence of ADR before and after treatment. RESULTS:The total response rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group(89.1% vs. 77.4%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in eyelid observation score,symptom score,the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,eyelid observation score of 2 groups were significantly higher than before treatment,and the observation group was significantly higher than the control group;symptom score and the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in 2 groups were significantly lower than before treatment,and the observation group was significantly lower than the con-trol group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on routine treatment,tobramycin dexamethasone shows significant therapeutic efficacy for MGD,and can improve clinical symptoms significantly but does not increase the occurrence of ADR.

N-acetyltransferase are phase II code proteins with overlapping substrate specifici-DMEs, and two highly similar human NAT gene ty. NAT2 is a polymorphic acetyltransferase gene (designated NAT1 and NAT2) are shown to en- locus and "slow acetylation" in humans is due tonutations in the single coding exon of the NAT2 gene. It was also demonstrated that there exist discrete NAT1 structural variants, and differences in tissue levels of NAT1 among humans are related to specific sequence differences in the NAT1 structural gene. Biochemical studies have shown that NAT1 and NAT2 play an important role in the metabolism of some carcinogens, epidemiological studies have revealed an association between ploy-morphisms of NATs and increased cancer risk.Metabolic phenotypes/genotypes can significantly influence DAN adduct formation and could ultimately lead to alterations in cancer risk. If unequivocal biomarkers of genetic susceptibility to cancer can be developed successfully, then identification of individuals at increased risk would be very helpful in the fields of public health and preventive medicine.

Objective To discuss the prognostic impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods From January,2005 through December,2006 we studied 461 patients with a discharge diagnosis of CHF.Patients were divided by baseline rhythm in sinus rhythm(SR) or AF groups.The main endpoints were all cause death within 3 years and readmission to the hospital for heart failure.Results AF group were more likely to be older and female and to have a history of valvular disease and have a higher left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).However,SR group were more likely to have a history of ischemic heart disease.During 3 year follow-up,the main endpoints was higher in AF group than in those with SR group (P ＜0.01).After adjusting for other covariables,AF and age were related to increased the risk of main endpoints during 3 years follow-up (RR =1.311,95％ CI:1.002-1.715,P ＜0.05 ; RR =1.014,95％ CI:1.004-1.024,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion AF and age were the main risk factors of increased adverse forward prognosis in patients with CHF.

To investigate the immunological activities of the recombinant human phosphatase D2 (rhPLD2) in vitro and in vivo, especially its ability to reduce inflammatory reactions, the cDNA fragment encoding rhPLD2 was cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET30a by RT-PCR and the recombinant protein rhPLD2 expressed in E.coli was purified from the inclusion bodies, while the anti inflammatory activity of rhPLD2 was determined by the amount of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar fluid(BALF) and blood and the expression of IL-5 and MMP-9 in lung tissues of guinea pig model of chronic asthma. It was found that the rhPLD2 recombinant protein was obtained from human Daudi cells by cloning to E.coli, which contained no membrane-binding site and signal peptide. The cDNA sequence encoded 631 amino acid residues (GenBank Accession Number: AY178289). The purity of the rhPLD2 approached up to 76% with a bioactivity of 50.9745 units/L (0.9212 g/L). In addition, the anti inflammatory effect of rhPLD2 protein could be demonstrated in the guinea pig model of chronic asthma after treatment with rhPLD2 protein, such as down regulation in the expression of the inflammatory cytokine IL-5. It is concluded that the anti-inflammator activity of the recombinant human truncated PLD2 protein produced from the E.coli plasmid can be demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo.
