Objective To investigate the relationship of gene polymorphisms of angiotensin eonvertion enzyme (ACE), aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2)and α-adducin with subclinical renal lesion. Methods I/D polymorphism of ACE gene, -344T/C polymorphism of CYP11B2 gene and 460G/T polymorphism of α-adduein gene were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restrictive fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) in 604 normotensive subjects and 1081 primary hypertensive patients whose creatinine (Cr) were less than 2mg/L. The primary hypertensive and normotensive subjects were divided respectively into normal group (Ccr≥60ml/min) and subclinical renal lesion (Ccr<60 ml/min) group, according to creatinine clearance rate (Ccr) calculated by Cockcroft-Gault equation. Results ANOVA, contingency X2 and partition of chi-square were selected. The frequencies of different genotypes of ACE, CYP11B2, and α-adducin were in agreement with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in our study. Normal renal function group (A group, n=512) and subclinical renal lesion group (B group, n=92) in normotensive subjects, and normal renal function group (C group, n=828) and subclinical renal lesion group (D group, n=252) in hypertensive patients were compared. The patients in B and D groups were older than those in A and C groups (P<0.01). But there were no significant differences in the age between B and D groups, and between A and C groups. The frequency of ACE-DD genotype in D group was the highest (22.6%) among four groups and the frequency of α-adducin-TT genotype in A group was the lowest (13.3%) among four groups (all P<0.01). The differences of genotype frequencies of ACE and α-adducin genes among other three groups were not significant. No significant difference was found in frequencies of genotypes of CYP11B2 among four groups. Conclusions Subclinical renal lesion is increased with the aging. ACE-DD genotype is related with hypertension and subclinical renal lesion, while α-adducin-TT genotype is related with hypertension and subclinical renal lesion. Association between the genotypes of CYP11B2 and subclinical renal lesion is not found.

Objective To investigate the correlation between carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and left atrial and left ventricular enlargement in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods A total of 224 patients with acute cerebral infarction were included. Based on the thickness of CIMT, it was divided into three groups which were normal CIMT group, thickening CIMT group, and carotid plaque (CP) group, with 57, 97, and 70 patients included respectively. Clinical data were collected, and carotid artery color Doppler ultrasound, cardiac color Doppler ultrasound and other examinations were determined to carry out relevant statistical analysis.Results The left anterior-posterior diameter (LAD) , left atrial diameter index (LADI) , left ventricular end-diastolic septal thickness (IVSD) , and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in the CP group were all higher than those in the normal CIMT group and thickening CIMT group (P < 0.05). The percentage of the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) took in the thickening CIMT group were both higher than those in the CP group (P < 0.05). Multi-factor logistic regression analysis indicated that there were statistically significant differences in age, homocysteine and left LVMI (P < 0.05). In the Pearson correlation analysis, CIMT and LADI were positively correlated (r= 0.184, P < 0.01) , and there was a positive correlation between CIMT and LVMI (r = 0.236, P < 0.01). Conclusions Left ventricular enlargement is one of the highrisk factors for CIMT abnormalities in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Left atrial and left ventricular enlargement are closely correlated to the severity of CIMT in patients with acute cerebral infarction, indicating that abnormal CIMT in patients with acute cerebral infarction has a certain predictive effect on left atrial and left ventricular enlargement.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Simiaowan on the intestinal ATP-binding cassette superfamily G (White) member 2 (ABCG2) expression and the intestinal uric acid excretion in hyperuricemia rats. MethodA total of 48 SD male rats were randomized into the normal, model, benzbromarone (4.7 mg·kg-1), and high-, medium-, low-dose Simiaowan groups (2 260.6, 1 130.3, 565.2 mg·kg-1, respectively), with 8 rats in each group. Potassium oxonate and hypoxanthine was employed to induce hyperuricemia in rats (21 days). On the 8th day, administration began (once a day for 14 days). Rats were killed on the 21st day, and serum uric acid, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and intestinal uric acid were detected. The protein expression of ABCG2 in the small intestine was detected by Western blot. The ABCG2 protein expression and localization in intestinal tissues were determined by immunohistochemistry. The ABCG2 mRNA expression in small intestine was measured by quantitative real-time PCR. ResultThe levels of serum uric acid, serum creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen in the model group were higher than those in the normal group (P<0.01). Low level of serum uric acid in the three Simiaowan groups and benzbromarone group (P<0.01), high level of intestinal uric acid in medium-dose and low-dose Simiaowan groups (P<0.05, P<0.01), high level of serum creatinine in benzbromarone group (P<0.01), and low level of blood urea nitrogen in low-dose Simiaowan group (P<0.05) were observed as compared with those in the model group. Serum uric acid showed insignificant difference between the low-dose Simiaowan group and benzbromarone group. The expression of ABCG2 protein in the model group was lower than that in the normal group (P<0.05). The expression of ABCG2 protein in the medium-dose and low-dose Simiaowan groups (P<0.05, P<0.01), the high-dose Simiaowan group, and benzbromarone group increased as compared with that in the model group. ABCG2 mRNA expression was insignificantly different between the model group and the normal group, while the expression in the medium-dose and low-dose Simiaowan groups was higher than that in the model group (P<0.05). ABCG2 protein was mainly distributed in intestinal villi, and ABCG2 protein expression demonstrated no significant difference between the model group and the normal group. The ABCG2 protein expression in the three Simiaowan groups increased as compared with that in the model group (P<0.05). ConclusionSimiaowan can significantly reduce the serum uric acid level in hyperuricemia rats. Particularly, the low-dose Simiaowan shows similar efficacy to benzbromarone in lowering uric acid and protects renal function. The mechanism is the likelihood that it up-regulates intestinal ABCG2 expression to promote intestinal excretion of uric acid.

【Objective】 To investigate and analyze the polymorphism of RHD gene in RhD-negative population in Jiayuguan using molecular biological technique, so as to accurately identify RhD-negative individuals, and formulate individualized transfusion strategies. 【Methods】 The RhD negative voluntary blood donors and patients (mainly pregnant women) were recruited. After informed consent, history of blood transfusion and pregnancy of them were investigated, and samples were collected for negative D confirmation, gene sequencing as well as antibody screening and identification. 【Results】 Among the 96 samples, 73 cases were RHD gene deletion, 18 RHD*01EL.01(17 RHD1227A homozygous type and 1 RHD1227A heterozygous type), 2 weak RHD*15 type (845G/A), 1 partial D type, i. e. RHD-CE(7) -D heterozygous allele, and 2 RHD*01N.16 variant. Antibody was detected out in 4 cases, among which 2 were positive for anti-D, 1 anti-D plus anti-E, and 1 anti-Dia. 【Conclusion】 The proportion of DEL gene in RhD negative Chinese Han population in Jiayuguan is slightly lower than that in general Chinese Han population. No anti-D or RHD-HDN was observed in DEL type women due to multiple pregnancy or delivery of D positive newborns.
