Tumor necrosis factor ?(TNF ?) is a potent proinflammatory cytokine. In human, TNF ? gene is located within the highly polymorphic major histocompatibility complex(MHC) region on chromosome 6p21.3. TNF gene cluster contains many polymorphisms including microsatellites and single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs).Many of these polymorphisms were found to be in linkage disequilibrium with HLA class Ⅰand Ⅱ alleles. Some of the TNF ? gene polymorphisms were found to influence TNF ? production in vitro , for example the 308SNP. Many studies have shown that this SNP and others within the TNF ? gene associate with different inflammatory conditions. Whether this phenomenon is due to the direct influence if the SNP in question and/or due to linkage disequilibrium with other polymorphisms within the TNF ? gene or the HLA system is still controversial.

One hundred elderly patients with hyperthyroidism were enrolled in a paired design study.The outcome of ~(131)Ⅰand antithyroid drug(ATD)treatments was examined after 2 years.The results showed that ~(131)Ⅰcould be recognized as the safer,more convenient and effective treatment than ATD for the elderly patients with hyperthyroidism.

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.
