Objectives To observe influences of two functionally important polymorphisms (5'-UTR and 3 -UTR) in thymidylate synthase (TS) gene and their combinative effects with drinking on the susceptibility of colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods A case-control study was designed, which included 140 CRC patients and 343 control subjects. Risk of CRC was estimated by unconditional Logistic model. Results The genotype distributions of the polymorphisms did not show significant differences between the cases and the controls. However, in those with -6 bp/-6 bp genotypes, the 2R carriers had a decreased risk (OR = 0. 60, 95%CI, 0. 23-1. 52) , but in +6 bp carriers, the 2R carriers had an elevated risk (OR=1. 87, 95%CI, 0. 94-3. 72). The likelihood test revealed the interaction existed between these two polymorphisms (P for interaction = 0. 05). Moreover, the combinative effect between the 3 -UTR polymorphism and alcohol drinking showed a significant association with the susceptibility of CRC (P for interaction =0. 01). In non-drinkers, the-6 bp allele carriers had a significant decreased risk (OR = 0. 57, 95%CI, 0. 32-0. 99) , but in ever and current drinkers, the +6 bp allele (6-bp insertion) carriers had an elevated risk (OR=1. 88, 95%CI, 0. 80-4. 41) , in which OR values ascended with the prolongation of drink-time. Conclusions The polymorphisms of thymidylate synthase at 5'-UTR and 3'-UTR may not be regarded as independent predictive factors for the susceptibility of CRC. However, interactions exist in these two polymorphisms and between the 3'-UTR polymorphism and drinking. Further studies with larger sample size and in different ethnic groups are needed.

BACKGROUND:Zinc oxide has shown extraordinary antibacterial effect. But the antibacterial mechanisms of zinc oxide have not been wel developed, and the safety of zinc oxide has not yet been confirmed.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the antibacterial mechanism and safety of zinc oxide based on the current research situation of zinc oxide.
METHODS:The CNKI database and PubMed database (2005-01/2013-08) were used to search the related articles about zinc oxide antibacterial mechanism and safety. The retrieval keywords were“zinc oxide or ZnO, antibacterial”,“zinc oxide or ZnO, safety”both in English and Chinese.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSTION:The antibacterial mechanism of zinc oxide is complex. Zinc oxide reveals its antibacterial power by photo catalysis, zinc ion dissolve out, and active oxygen. But the relationship between photo catalysis and active oxygen is different based on different studies. The safety of zinc oxide is not confirmed, and different studies have different results. Especial y for the nano-zinc oxide, some studies have showed that the zinc oxide is toxic. Al of these mean much more researches are needed to verify the safety of zinc oxide.
