Objective To study the relationship between hepatocarcinogenesis and the mutation in X gene among patients with chronic hepa-titis B virus (HBV)infection,such as chronic hepatitis B (CHB),liver cirrhosis (LC)and primary liver cancer (PLC).Methods The serum samples from 89 patients with chronic HBV infection who visited the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from 201 1 to 2013 were collected.PCR was used to amplify the X gene of HBV DNA extracted from the serum samples.After sequencing,the HBV-X genome was compared with those reported in GenBank to find the variable sites and variant forms.Chi -square and one -way ANOVA were used for the statistical analysis afterwards,whereas genotypes were determined by the genotyping tool of the National Center for Biotechnology Information.Results All patients were genotype B or C.Among HBeAg-positive patients,46.2% were genotype B,and 53.8% were genotype C;among HBeAg-negative patients,81.2%were genotype B,and 18.8%were genotype C (P=0.001).PLC pa-tients had a significantly higher risk of mutation in the basic core promoter (BCP)region than the CHB and LC groups (69.2%vs 34.4%and 61.3%,P<0.05);in addition,an evident T-base deficiency was observed at nt1821 site (88.5% vs 53.1% and 71%,P=0.014).Among CHB and LC patients,those with genotype C had a significantly higher risk of BCP double mutation than those with geno-type B (61.5%vs 15.8%,P=0.007;83.3%vs 47.4%,P=0.045).The incidence of BCP double mutation was significantly higher in the low-viral load group (≤106 copies/ml)than in the high-viral load group (>106 copies/ml)(81.3% vs 47.9%,P=0.015). Conclusion The BCP double mutation and T-base deficiency at nt1821 site may play important roles in the development of PLC.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of oral pancreatin capsules for patients after total gastrectomy.Methods Ninety cases of total gastrectomy patients in Nanyang City Center Hospital were selected and randomly divided into trypsin group and control group,with 45 patients in each group.The control group were treated by conventional therapy,and the patients of trypsin group were treated by pancreatin capsules on the basis of conventional therapy after 3 weeks postoperation.Scores of EORTC QLQ-C30,korenaga and fecal fat contents were compared between two groups six months postoperation.Results No statistically significant difference was found in the scoring system of EORTC QLQ-C30,korenaga and fecal fat contents in two groups before administered,The score of role function,emotional function and overall health status in the scoring system of EORTC QLQ-C30 of patients in trypsin group were higher than control group after 6 months administration.The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05 ).The score of fatigue,loss of appetite,nausea,vomiting,diarrhea in the scoring system of EORTC QLQ-C30 of patients in trypsin group were lower than control group after 6 months administration.The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The loss of appetite,swelling postprandial satiety,insomnia and the extent of weight loss in the scoring system of korenagain trypsin group were lower than control group after 6 months administration.The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05 ).The fecal fat contentsin trypsin group were lower than control group at 24 h and 72 h.The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The cases of 24h fecal fat content>7g in trypsin group was lower than control group at 24 h.The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Oral pancreatin capsules could significantly improve the quality of life of patients after total gastrectomy, which is worthy of promoting.

Human colorectal cancer ( CRC ) presents a considerable disease burden worldwide.Besides the genetic factor, gut microbiota could be another important factor resulting in CRC and has become a hot research topic.Along with the increasing accessibility of high-throughput sequencing, the role of structure of microbiota and potential pathogens in colorectal carcinogenesis have become more and more clear.In this review, the recent insights into contributions of the microbiota and candidate CRC-potentiating species to CRC were discussed.Moreover, new findings on the role of candidate pathogens in cancer causation were highlighted.Two pathogenic models were introduced in this review.High-throughput sequencing of gut microbiota will assist us in understanding the pathogenesis of CRC, providing a theoretical basis for disease surveillance.

Nuclear receptors,the superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors,play crucial role in the regulation of gene expression of the lipid metabolism,and are involved in many metabolic diseases,such as cholesterol gallstone disease.Recently many domestic and foreign researches on the role of nuclear receptors in the lipid metabolism,help to further elucidate the biomolecular pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstone disease and other diseases associated with the lipid metabolism.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the advances in the genetic susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD) and explore the heritable basis of the disease.DATA SOURCES:Related articles in English from January 1990 to June 2006 were searched in Pubmed and EMCC databases with the terms "gene, coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction". Meanwhile, the CMCC database was searched for the relevant articles published between January 2000 and June 2006 in Chinese.STUDY SELECTrON: After the preliminary selection,relevant literatures on genetics of CAD and myocardial infarction(MI)were selected, and those with obvious indifferent contents or with less correlation were excluded.DATA EXTRACTION: Data of 49 articles were mainly extracted from the selected literatures providing solid evidence to elucidate the genetic susceptibility to CAD or MI.DATA SYNTHESIS: The involved 49 articles showed that CAD is a complex multifactorial disorder which is believed to result from the interplay between a person's genetic makeup and various environmental factors. The heritable basis is increasingly recognized as a crucial component in the development of CAD. Recent work in the field of genetics has lead to determining key genes associated with the susceptibility for CAD and MI through genome-wide linkage scans and large-scale gene-association studies as core human genetics approaches These susceptibility genes involve diverse functions, including dyslipidemia, vascular homeostasis, endothelial dysfunction, inflammation and immunity.CONCLUSION: The identification of genes that predispose to or directly cause CAD provides new insights into the pathogenesis of this disorder. However, the precise role of genetic factor in the CAD or MI events and the personalized gene-specific therapy await further investigation.
