Objective To explore the association between GNβ3 gene and depression,and to investigate the interaction of gene-environment(negative life events and childhood trauma) and potential possible pathogenesis of depression.Methods The sample of peripheral blood was collected from Chinese Northern patients(n=500) and controls(n=500).Snapshot technique was used to detect the genotype frequency and allele frequency of GNβ3 rs5443 polymorphism in cases and controls.The genotype and allele frequencies were analyzed by Chi-square test,the interactions of gene-environment were analyzed by Logistic regression.Results GNβ3 rs5443 genotype and allele frequencies were observed between patients and controls (x2 =20.249,P<0.01;x2 =4.803,P<0.05).There were genotype CC 102 and 158,genotype CT 280 and 217,genotype TT 118 and 125;allele C 484 and 533,allele T 516 and 467 between patients and controls,respectively.Logistic regression analysis showed that the interaction between rs5443 T+ and negative life events was associated with depression (P<0.05,OR=1.957).In addition,individual carrying rs5443T+ genotypes and negative life events could increase risk of depression.Conclusion GNβ3 rs5443 is a possible susceptibility gene of depression.The interaction between rs5443 and negative life events is associated with depression.

Objective:To analyze the types of ulnar coronoid process fractures in terrible triad injury (TTI) using three coronoid fracture classification systems and to explore the characteristics of coronoid process fractures and compare the reliability of different coronoid process fractures classification systems in TTI.Methods:A retrospective case series study was used to analyze the CT data of 43 patients with typical TTI admitted to First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2013 to October 2020. There were 26 males and 17 females, aged from 18 to 88 years [(41.8±15.6)years]. An independent three-dimensional model of the proximal ulna was established using the CT three-dimensional reconstruction technology. The characteristics of the coronoid process fractures were observed. The Regan-Morrey classification, O'Driscoll classification and Adams classification were used to classify the ulnar coronoid process fractures. The reliability of the three classification systems of coronoid fractures was analyzed.Results:The fracture line of the coronoid process was mostly located anterolaterally. Among all patients with ulnar coronoid fractures, there were 17 patients (40%) with type I, 19 (44%) with type II and 7(16%) with type III according to Regan-Morrey classification; there were 34 patients (79%) with type I, 2(5%) with type II and 7(16%) with type III according to O'Driscoll classification; there were 12 patients (28%) with type I, 3(7%) with type II, 7(16%) with type III, 18(42%) with type IV AL and 2(5%) with type IV AM according to Adams classification. Through reliability analysis, the Kappa coefficients of the inter-observer and intra-observer 1, 2, 3 of Regan-Morrey classification were 0.752, 0.813, 0.772 and 0.703, respectively; the Kappa coefficients of the inter-observer and intra-observer 1, 2, 3 of O'Driscoll classification were 0.797, 0.774, 0.837 and 0.775, respectively; the Kappa coefficients of the inter-observer and intra-observer 1, 2, 3 of Adams classification were 0.805, 0.835, 0.837 and 0.875, respectively.Conclusions:Most of the coronoid process fractures locate anterolaterally in TTI. Compared with Regan-Morrey classification and O'Driscoll classification, the reliability of Adams classification is best. Adams classification further subdivides the anterolateral fractures of the coronoid process, which may be more suitable in evaluating the classification of ulnar coronoid process fractures in TTI.

Objective To explore the interaction between tryptophan hydroxylase 2(TPH2) gene polymorphisms (rs4570625,rs11178997) and serotonin 1A receptor (5-HT1A) gene polymorpbisms (rs878567,rs1364043,rs6265) and the association with major depressive disorder (MDD) in a Chinese Han population.Methods The DNA isolated from peripheral blood samples of 288 MDD patients 288 healthy subjects was detected by single base primer extension assay (Snapshot).The generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) method was used to analyze the gene-gene interaction.Results Significant differences were found in the genotype (patients (TT:27,TA:152,AA:109),controls (TT:82,TA:105,AA:101),P<0.01) and allele(patients (T:206,A:370),controls (T:269,A:307),P<0.01) frequencies of rs1 1178997 within TPH2 between MDD patients and controls.Statistically,a greater risk of developing MDD was found in individuals with an rs1 1178997 A-allele(OR=1.574,95%CI=1.243-1.993).The interaction between TPH2 (rs4570625,rs1 1178997) and 5-HT1A (rs878567,rs1364043,rs6265) was considered as the best multi-locus model,and this showed a testing accuracy of 57.67% and a CV consistency of 10/10.And this interaction had a significant effect on the risk of MDD (P=0.0107).Conclusion There may be an association between the interaction of TPH2 and 5-HT1A polymorphisms and MDD.
