In recent years,a large number of researches show that the tumor related gene promoter hypermethylation is an important reason of esophageal adenocarcinoma and closely associated with the differentiation,invasion,metastasis,staging and prognosis of tumors.It might be used as a neww target for the clinical detection and therapy of esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Objective To investigate the changes of expressions of axon guidance molecule Sema3F and its receptor Np2 in hippocampus of temporal lobe epilepsy(TLE)rat.Methods Rats were injected with Lithium-chloride,Pilocarpine intraperitoneally to establish TLE model.The Sema3F mRNA,Np2 mRNA and protein in areas CA1,CA3 and dentate gyrus(DG)of hippocampus at different time were detected by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization for TLE models.Further,they were compared with normal control group.Results Compared with normal control group,the expressions of Sema3F mRNA,Np2 mRNA and protein in areas CA1,CA3 significantly decreased(P

Objective To analyze the allergens detection in asthmatic infants and young children. Methods The specific IgE test and allergens screening test were conducted in 243 infants and young children with whooping diseases including asthmatic bronchitis, asthmatic pneumonia and asthma by skin prick test and Pharmacia UniCAP test. Results 1. Food allergen was the allergen detection most frequently in infants(P = 0.03). The proportion of aeroallergens increased significantly with age (positive rate:67. 2%). Milk and egg white was the main food allergen detection in infants and young children,and the main aeroallergen detection was house dust mite. 2. The allergen - specific IgE test using UniCAP test system was more accurate than skin prick test. Conclusions The infants are more susceptible to food hypersensitivity; the increasing opportunity of aeroallergen exposure may lead to a higher prevalence of aeroallergens in young children. UniCAP system is more accurate than other methods.

Objective To survey the current status of job stressor and exhaustion among nursing staff in the catheter room of grade Ⅲ-A general hospitals and to look for regularities.Methods 178 nursing staff coming from catheter room,operating room,and outpatient department of Shenzhou Hospital and Fengtian Hospital accepted questionnaires of Chinese Nursing Stressor Scale and Exhaustion Scale in Spring 2010.Results Chinese Nursing Stressor Scale indicated that scores of subitem and total score of job stressor in the catheter room were significantly higher than those in the outpatient department; however,there were no significant differences in scores of subitem and total score of job stressor between catheter room and operating room.On the other hand,Exhaustion Scale showed that scores of emotional exhaustion and job unconcerned feeling in the catheter room were significantly higher than those in the outpatient department,but scores of job achieved feeling in the catheter room were significantly lower than those in the outpatient department.There were no significant differences in Exhaustion Scale between catheter room and operating room nurses.Conclusions Job stressor and exhaustion were serious among nursing staff in the catheter room of grade Ⅲ-A general hospitals,which should cause the attention of management department.

Objective:To study expression of complement C1q tumor necrosis factor related protein 3 (CTRP‐3 ) in obese patients and its significance .Methods :A total of 402 obese patients were enrolled as obesity group and 405 normal people undergoing physical examination were regarded as normal control group . The correlation among CTRP‐3 level and related indexes were analyzed ,and multi-factor regression analysis was used to study independent risk factors for obesity .Results:Compared with normal control group ,there were significant rise in body mass index (BMI) ,homeostasis model -insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) ,levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP) ,diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ,total cholesterol (TC) ,low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) ,triglyceride (TG) ,fasting blood glucose (FBG) ,insulin ,glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP) ,and significant reductions in levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) ,adiponectin (APN) ,leptin and CTRP‐3 in obesity group , P<0.05 or <0.01 . Spearman correlation analysis indicated that after age and gender correction ,CTRP‐3 level was significant inversely correlated with BMI (r= -0.221) ,SBP (r= -0.031) ,DBP (r= -0.043) ,TC (r= -0.147) , LDL‐C (r= -0.051) ,TG (r= -0.743) ,FBG (r= -0.238) ,insulin (r= -0.053) ,HOMA -IR (r= -0.281) , HbA1c (r= -0.741) and hsCRP levels (r= -0.216) ,P<0.05 or <0.01 ,and significant positively correlated with lev‐els of HDL‐C (r=0.351) ,APN (r= 0.852) and leptin (r=0.641) ,P<0.05 all .Multi-factor regression analysis indi‐cated that after correcting other influencing factors ,compared with high tertile CTRP‐3 group ,there were significant rise in OR value in middle tertile CTRP‐3 group (OR=6.47 ,95% CI 3.58 -12.18) and low tertile CTRP‐3 group (OR=12.39 ,95% CI 3.58-29.15) , P<0.01 all .Conclusion:CTRP‐3 level is significantly correlated with obesity -related fac‐tors ,and it′s an independent risk factor for obesity .

Objective:To study expression of complement C1q tumor necrosis factor-related protein 3 (CTRP-3)in patients with hypertension and its significance.Methods:A total of 562 patients with hypertension were enrolled as hypertension group,and 570 normal subjects undergoing physical examination were regarded as normal control group. General data,plasma levels of adiponectin (APN),leptin and CTRP-3 etc. were measured and compared be- tween two groups. Correlation among CTRP-3 level and related factors of hypertension were analyzed. Results:Compared with normal control group,there were significant reductions in plasma levels of APN [(12.1±0.4)μg/ml vs. (7.3±0.5)μg/ml],leptin [(10.1±0.4)ng/ml vs. (6.2±0.8)ng/ml]and CTRP-3 [(429±15)ng/ml vs. (314±13)ng/ml]in hypertension group,P<0.05 all. Spearman correlation analysis indicated that after correcting age and gender,plasma CTRP-3 level was significant inversely correlated with body mass index,systolic blood pres- sure,diastolic blood pressure,waist circumference,waist hip ratio,levels of total cholesterol,low density lipopro- tein cholesterol (LDL-C),triglyceride,fasting blood glucose,insulin,homeostasis model-insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR),glycosylated hemoglobin,high sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP)(r=-0.852~-0.011,P<0.05 or <0.01),and significant positively correlated with levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), APN and leptin (r=0.654~0.962,P<0.05 all). Multi-factor regression analysis indicated that compared with high tertile CTRP-3 group,the OR=14.17 (95%CI:3.62~28.34),P=0.001 in low tertile CTRP-3 group,sug- gesting that low plasma CTRP-3 level was independent risk factor for hypertension.Conclusion:Complement C1q tumor necrosis factor-related protein 3 level significantly correlated with hypertension,and it's an independent risk factor for hypertension.

Objective To assess the subgenotypes of pathogenic Cryptococcus gattii isolates from China and to elucidate the epidemiological links between these domestic isolates and those from other parts of the world. Methods DNA was extracted from 9 clinical isolates of Ctyptococcus gattii from China. The partially variable regions of the three unlinked loci, namely IGS1, PLB1 and GEF1, were amplified and sequenced, and the bioinformation at these loci was obtained from GenBank for multi-locus sequences alignment and phylogenetic analysis. Results Of these 9 clinical isolates, 8 were genotype VG Ⅰ and mating type α with the same sequences at the tested regions as the reference strain WM276, which was a representative isolate of an independent subgenotype; 1 was of genotype VG Ⅱ and mating type α, which was the first report in China, with the tested sequences consistent with those of the referrence strain R272. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of GEF1 gene, which was located at mating type locus, successfully identified the genotypes and mating types of all the Cryptococcus gattii isolates involved here. Conclusions Multi-locus sequence analysis shows that causative Cryptococcus gattii isolates of genotype VG Ⅰ in China carry similar sequences at the tested loci in IGS1, PLB1 and GEF1 genes, to a widely distributed subgenotype in the world, and the sequences of the first VG Ⅱ genotype isolate from China resemble the less virulent subgenotype VG Ⅱ b found in Vancouver islands.
