Objective To investigate the association between SLCO1B1/ApoE gene polymorphisms and lipid-lowering efficacy and safety of rosuvastatin.Methods DNA samples were extracted from blood using nano paramagnetic particle method.The SLCO1B1 521T>C and ApoE gene polymorphisms were screened by PCR-pyrophosphate sequencing method.Totally 152 patients received rosuvastatin orally at a dose of 10 mg/d.The lipidlowering efficacy was evaluated through detecting serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level before and 8 weeks after the treatment.The incidence of myopathic adverse effect was assessed by follow-up of the occurrence of myalgia.Results The gene distribution of SLCO1B1 521T>C was 73.7%,23.7% and 2.6% respectively for TT,TC and CC in 152 patients,and the distribution of ApoE gene was 65.8%,13.2% and 21.0% respectively for ε3/ε3,ε3/ε2 and ε4/ε3.The genotype ε4/ε4,ε2/ε2 and ε4/ε2 were not detected.After orally receiving rosuvastatin 10 mg daily for 8 weeks,the decreased LDL-C levels showed significant differences (P<0.05) among ApoE genotype ε3/ε2,ε3/ε3 and ε4/ε3 groups,and the frequencies of myalgia showed significant differences in the three genotype groups of SLCO1B1 521T>C (P<0.05).Conclusion The gene polymorphism of SLCO1B1/ApoE was correlated with efficacy and safety of rosuvastatin.The combined detection of SLCO1B1/ApoE genes can be utilized to predict efficacy and risk,and then realize individualized medication.

Background:miR-181b is related to the progression of many tumors,however,its expression in colitis-associated colon cancer is not clear. Aims:To investigate miR-181b expression and its potential target genes in the process of colitis-associated colon carcinogenesis. Methods: Colitis-associated colon cancer model was established by combined administration of azoxymethane(AOM)and dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)in mice. The expression of miR-181b in colon tissue at different time points was measured by real time fluorescent quantitative PCR(qPCR). Target genes of miR-181b were screened preliminarily by genome microarray combined with miRNA target gene prediction softwares TargetScan, PicTar and miRDB. Expressions of target genes in colitis-associated colon cancer mice were detected by qPCR. Results:The expression of miR-181b was gradually elevated during the development of colitis-associated colon cancer. However, AOM or DSS alone did not change expression of miR-181b. Genome microarray combined with miRNA target gene prediction softwares showed that Ipmk,E2f5,Klf6,Prkcd,Bai3,Hic2 might be the target genes of miR-181b. qPCR showed that expressions of Ipmk,Prkcd,Bai3,Hic2 were significantly decreased in colitis-associated colon cancer than in control group. Conclusions:Expression of miR-181b in colon is upregulated with the development of colitis-associated colon cancer,but is irrelevant with simple chronic inflammation.

Aim To investigate the vasodilatory effect of Ferulic acid on in vitro rat coronary artery and its possible mechanism. Methods By using the mi-crovessel tension recorder system, the vasodilatory effect of FA on resting and contractin-vitro rat coronary artery was determined;the influence of endothelial in-tegrity to FA-induced vasorelaxation was observed; the relationship of FA on [ Ca2+] ex-influx-induced and [ Ca2+] in-efflux-induced contractions was discussed;the mechanism of vasodilatory effect of FA was ex-plored by applying the inhibitors of KCa(TEA),KATP channel ( Gli ) , KIR channel ( BaCl2 ) , KV ( 4-AP ) , NOS( L-NAME) and COX( Indo) . Results FA had no effect on the resting tension of in vitro rat coronary artery. FA dilated the in-vitro rat coronary artery pre-treated with KCl ( 60 mmol · L-1 ) , U46619 ( 1 μmol · L-1 ) and PE ( 10μmol · L-1 ) in a concentration-dependent fashion ( P < 0. 05 ) . FA inhibited the [ Ca2+] ex-influx-induced and [ Ca2+] in-efflux-in-duced contractions significantly ( P <0. 05 ) . 4-AP ( 1 mmol· L-1 ) restrained the diastolic function of FA, while TEA, Gli, BaCl2、L-NAME, Indo had no obvious effect ( P >0. 05 ) . Conclusion The diastolic func-tion could be related to the activation of KV channel on vascular smooth muscle cells, the free Ca2+ from Sar-coplasmic reticulum cells and blockade extracellular Calcium channel do not depend on KCa, KATP, KIR channel, nor the endothelial function.

Objective To investigate the clinical diagnostic value of plasma serine protease inhibitor Ka-zal-type 4(SPINK4)expression in colorectal adenocarcinoma(CRC)and progressive adenoma(AA).Methods A total of 62 patients with CRC(CRC group)and 15 patients with AA(AA group)diagnosed by colonoscopy and pathological examination in this hospital from June 2020 to December 2021 were selected,and 22 healthy people undergoing physical examination during the same period were selected as the HC group.The expression of SPINK4 in plasma was detected by ELISA,and the expression of CEA in plasma was detected by electrochemiluminescence,and the correlation was analyzed.The diagnostic efficiency was analyzed by re-ceiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,and the expression of p53 in CRC tissues was detected by immu-nohistochemistry.Results The expression of plasma SPINK4 in the CRC group and AA group was lower than that in the HC group(Z=3.72,-0.41,P<0.05),and the expression of CEA in the CRC group was higher than that in the HC group(Z=-3.63,P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC),accuracy,sensi-tivity and specificity of SPINK4 combined with CEA in the diagnosis of CRC and AA were higher than those of SPINK4 and CEA alone.The positive rate of mutant type p53 in SPINK4 low expression group and CEA high ex-pression group was significantly increased in CRC patients(72.55%,75.00%,P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of plasma SPINK4 is decreased in CRC and AA,and the combined detection of SPINK4 and CEA has a good di-agnostic efficiency in CRC and AA.
