Objective: To explore the association of zinc finger ZBTB22 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and schizophrenia in Han Chinese population. Methods: A case-control study was designed by genotyping four SNPs (rs3130100, rs1061783, rs1061801 and rs3130099) in 658 schizophrenia patients and 658 healthy controls of Chinese Han origin. SHEsis was used to analyze genotypic and allelic distributions, linkage disequilibrium and haplotype distribution. Results: rs3130100, rs1061783, and rs3130099 showed significant differences between the cases and controls in allele frequencies (P<0. 05 after Bonferroni correction), but no statistically significant differences were found in genotype frequencies after Bonferroni correction. Strong linkage disequilibrium was found among the four SNPs, and the frequency of haplotype TCGA significantly decreased in the schizophrenia patients (P=0.015 after Bonferroni correction). Conclusion: The ZBTB22 SNPs rs3130100, rs1061783 and rs3130099 may be associated with schizophrenia in Han Chinese population.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, increasing research emphasizes the puncture position of the foramen ovale in skul , but most of the positin methods require a higher personal experience of surgeons and lack of individualized quantitative parameters. OBJECTIVE:To establish a visualized digital model of the foramen ovale in skul , explore the reasonable puncture path and puncture depth of percutaneous treatment of foramen ovale puncture for trigeminal neuralgia, and develop the individualized treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. METHODS:Head CT images from healthy adult male volunteers were obtained and were input into three-dimensional reconstruction software MIMICS 10.01, the three-dimensional visualized models of the skul and skin were established. Using the models, the puncture path of the foramen ovale was designed and the preliminary model of the puncture locator was plotted. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The three-dimensional visualized digital model of the foramen ovale puncture path was established with CT scan images by using MIMICS software, which provides reliable anatomical data for clinical teaching and lays the groundwork for the simulation of puncture surgery. On the three-dimensional models, the“needle points”,“target points”, and“midpoint”were determined, and the triangle consisted of the three points was regarded as“positioning plane”. Using these parameters, the positioning instrument is characterized by simple structure, convenient operation, high positioning precision and short period of exposure to radiation, it simulates the foramen ovale puncture needle depth and needle direction in a precise and individualized manner.

Objective To investigate the effect and significance of regulating endoplasmic reticulum stress on the expression of histone methyltransferases SET7/9 in the kidneys of db/db mice.Methods Db/db mice were randomly divided into two groups according to random number table method:diabetic nephropathy model group (DN group,n=18) and betaine treatment group (DN+B group,n =18),db/m mice were defined as normal control group (NC group,n =18).At the end of 4,8 and 12 weeks,the expression of GRP78,SET7/9,H3K4me2,and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) was determined by real-time fluorescence PCR and Western blotting.24-hour urinary protein excretion rate (UPER) and urine MCP-1 were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The dynamic changes of blood glucose(BG),serum creatinine (Scr),blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were tested by completely automatic biochemistry analyzer.The morphology of kidney was estimated by special staining of periodic acid-schiff (PAS).Results The levels of BG,BUN,UAER and MCP-1 were significantly higher in DN group than those in NC group (P ＜ 0.05),and were in time-dependent manner.Glomerular basement membrane thickening and mesangial cells proliferation began to emerge in DN group at the end of week 4 and mesangial matrix expansion was more obvious at the end of week 12.The mRNA and protein expression of GRP78 and SET7/9 were elevated significantly in DN group as compared to NC group.The H3K4me2 protein expression level was also increased in time-dependent manner.Compared with the DN group,in DN+B group glomerular lesions attenuated and the GRP78 and SET7/9 expression levels obviously decreased (P ＜ 0.05).Furthermore,the levels of BG,BUN,UPER,MCP-1,H3K4me2 in DN+B group were also reduced (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Endoplasmic reticulum stress may be the upstream mechanism of mediating the expression of SET7/9 in the kidneys of DN mice.

Objective To investigate the effects of MG132 on diabetic nephropathy (DN) rats induced with streptozocin. Methods Seventy-two male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: normal control group (NC, n=24), DN group (n=24) and DN treated with MG132 group (DN+MG132, n=24). At the end of 4, 8 and 12 weeks, 24 hour urinary protein excretion rate (UPER) was detected. Morphology of kidney was examined by special staining of periodic acid-schiff (PAS). Renal 26S proteasome activity was determined by quantifying the hydrolysis of S-LLVY-AMC in a fluorescence reader. Urinary malondialdehyde (MDA) level and renal SOD and GSH-PX activity were detected by commercial kits. Renal SOD, GSH-PX and p47phox mRNA expressions were determined by real-time fluorescence PCR. Renal p47phox protein expression wasdetermined by Western blotting. Results Compared with NC group, the DN group showed a significant increased of UPER at week 4, 8, 12 (all P<0.05), of mesangium proliferation and mesangial matrix expansion at week 12. In DN+MG132 group, UPER was significantly decreased compared with DN group at the end of 4, 8 and 12 weeks (P<0.05, respectively), and the glomeruler pathological alteration induced by diabetes was attenuated. Increased renal 26S proteasome activity in DN rats was significantly inhibited after MC132 administration (P<0.05). Moreover, renal p47phox mRNA expression in DN group was 155%, 149% and 120% more than those in NC group at 3 time points (all P<0.05), and so was the renal p47phox protein expression, 139%, 152% and 186% more (all P<0.05). Urinary MDA levels in DN group were 1.95-, 2.04-and 2.62-folds more than those in NC group (all P<0.05). In addition, compared with NC group at 3 time points, in DN group, renal SOD activity was decreased by 23.09%, 33.59% and 53.31% (all P<0.05); renal GSH-PX activity was decreased by 28.57%, 33.06% and 48.76% (all P< 0.05); renal SOD mRNA was decreased by 38.09%, 61.44% and 76.53% (all P<0.05); renal GSH-PX mRNA group was decreased by 29.16%, 37.26% and 62.40% (all P<0.05). Compared with DN group, renal p47phox mRNA and protein expression, and urinary MDA levels were significantly lower in DN+MG132 group (all P<0.05); renal SOD and GSH-PX activity as well as mRNA expression were significantly increased in DN+MG132 group (all P<0.05). Conclusions MG132 treatment can provide renoprotection for DN rats effectively maybe through enhancing renal anti-oxidative ability.
