Objective To obserVe influence of danhong injection on leVels of serum S100B Protein and neuron_sPecific enolase ( NSE) in Patients with acute cerebral infarction ( ACI) ,and to exPlore its clinical effect. Methods Eighty cases of ACI were randomly diVided into treatment grouP and control grouP with 40 cases in each grouP. Both grouPs were giVen routine treatment according to the clinical guideline. Treatment grouP receiVed danhong injection once a day for 14 days. LeVels of serum S100B Protein and NSE were detected 1,3,5 and 10 days after ACI. The Patients in the two grouPs were eValuated by NIHSS 1 and 21 day(s) after ACI. Results ComPared with control grouP,leVels of serum S100B Protein and NSE were significantly lower in treatment grouP than in control grouP 3 and 5 days after ACI (all P<0. 01). NIHSS scores were significantly decreased 21 days after ACI in both grouPs,and NIHSS scores were lower in treatment grouP than in control grouP (P<0. 05). Peak concentration of S100B Protein in treatment grouP and control grouP was PositiVely correlated with NIHSS scores ( r=0. 761 and r=0. 792,resPectiVely,both P<0. 01). Conclusion Danhong injection can decrease serum S100B and NSE leVels,and imProVe the neurological function in ACI Patients.

Objective To investigate the association of PGC-1 α gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Southern China Han population. Methods 350 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and their parents and 366 normal Han volunteers were recruited in the study. Their blood specimens were collected to extract the genornic DNA. Thr394Thr(G/A), Gly482Ser(G/A), Thr528Thr(A/G) and Thr612Met (C/T) genotypes were identified by PCR-RFLP and DNA direct sequencing. The possible association was analyzed between diabetic patients with the specific cSNPs and their haplotypes by case-control and haplotype relative risk (HRR) and transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) methods. Results (1) The case- control study indicated that G and A allele frequencies of PGC-1 α gene Gly482Ser variant were 0.589, 0.411 in type 2 diabetic group and 0.687, 0.313 in normal group respectively (X<'2> = 15.076, P < 0.01). The allele frequencies of Thr394Thr, Thr528Thr, Thr612Met polymorphisms did not show significant difference between twogroups respectively (all P > 0.05). The distributions of Thr394Thr-Gly482Ser-Thr528Thr haplotypes in the diabetic group were significanly different from the controls (X<'2> = 40.2, P < 0.05) and had a linkage disequilibrium with type 2 diabetes mellitus (t = 2.503, P < 0.05). (2) The family-basod studies showed that 482A allele was transmitted more significantly both via TDT and extended TDT from heterozygous parents to patients than expected respectively (all P < 0.05). HRR also supported that the 482A allele was more often transmitted to patients than predicted by chance (X<'2> = 7.217, P = 0.007, HRR = 1. 450). TDT analyses of haplotypes suggested that the frequencies of 394A-482A-528A-612C,394A-482A-528A-612T, 394A-482A-528G-612C and 394A-482A-528G- 612T haplotypes significantly deviated from 0.5 (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Conclusion In Southern China Hanpopulation, type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with the Gly482Ser variant of PGC-1α gene, and Thr394Thr (G/ A) variant of PGC-1α gene appears to play an auxiliary role in this association.
