Objective To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)in regulated upon activation normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) gene C-28G(RANTES C-28G),RANTES A-403G and Eotaxin-3 gene C +77T(Eotaxin-3 C+77T) with asthma in Han ethnic children. Methods The buccal mucosa swabs of 192 Han ethnic children with asthma (asthma group) were collected,and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was employed to detect the SNP loci of RANTES A-403G,C-28G and Eotaxin-3 C+77T.Besides,another 192 healthy subjects (aged 18 to 22 years) without sibship with those in asthma group were served as controls.Genotype and genotypic distribution between these two groups were analysed. Results There was no significant differences in genotype and genotypic distribution of SNP loci of RANTES A-403G and RANTES C-28G between asthma group and control group (P>0.05),while there were significant differences in genotypic distribution of Eotaxin-3 C+77T between these two groups.The frequency of Eotaxin-3 C+77T T/T genotype in asthma group was significantly higher than that in control group (32.3% vs 12.5%,OR=3.44,P=0.000). Conclusion Eotaxin-3 C+77T may be the asthma susceptible SNP loci for Han ethnic children,and Eotaxin-3 C+77T T/T is significantly related with the development of childhood asthma

Objective To investigate the value of urine L-type fatty acid-binding protein (uL-FABP) and uric neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL), and predict the value of poor outcomes (injury progression,dialysis,or death within 7 days ) in critically ill patients with early acute kidney injury (AKI) at time of nephropathy consultation. Methods One hundred and twenty-five patients with evidence of the AKIN criteria stage1 AKI were enrolled in this study. At time of nephropathy consultation , urinary samples were collected. The levels of uL-FABP and uNGAL were measured. Each marker was assessed for its predictive value using an area under the receiver operator characteristic curves (ROC-AUC) to predict AKI prognosis. Results Twenty-eight patients developed poor outcome. It was 0.81 in ROC-AUC in uL-FABP , in,which it could be improved to 0.83 when combined with APACHEⅡscore (0.75 in ROC-AUC). The ROC-AUC of uNGAL was 0.66, in which it could not impove its predictive power significantly when combined with APACHEⅡscore. Conclusion Among critically ill patients with early AKI , uL-FABP provided an independent and prognostic power when combined with APACHEⅡscore and the level of uL-FABP at time of nephropathy consultation helps to predict clinical outcome in critically ill patients with early AKI.
