Objective To study the relationship between Xsp Ⅰ restriction fregment length polymorphism (RFLP) in exon 4 of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene and hypercholesterolemia. Methods PCR-RFLP method was applied to determine the polymorphism of LDLR gene in 446 cases of hypercholesterolemia, 284 of borderline hypercholesterolemia and 187 normal control subjects. Results Three genotypes, X+X+, X+X- and X-X-, were found in the population. (1) The frequencies of the X+X+ genotype and X+ allele in the group with hypercholesterolemia were higher than those of the other 2 groups (P<0.05). (2) From X-X- to X+X+ genotype, cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol increased gradually, while high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol decreased (all P < 0.05). (3) With logistic regression analysis, LDLR genotype was associated with hypercholesterolemia. Conclusion Polymorphism in Xsp I restriction site at the exon 4 of LDLR (X+ X+ genotype and X+ allele) may be a risk factor of hypercholesterolemia in Chinese population.

Objective To investigate the correlation between hypoglycemia and brain injury of newborns.Methods Medical records and follow-up data of 110 newborns with hypoglycemia (blood glucose level≤2.2 mmol/L) who admitted into neonatal department of Peking University First Hospital from December 2006 to December 2009 were studied.All patients were divided into 3 groups:no brain injury group,mild and severe brain injury group according to their clinical manifestation,cerebral radiological characteristics and cerebral functional tests.By using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and x2 test,the potential optimal blood glucose level and duration of hypoglycemia for predicting brain injury were confirmed.Multivariate Logistic regression was taken to determine independent predictors for brain injury.The analyzed factors included gender,preterm/small for gestational age,hyperbillirubinemia,fetal distress,asphyxia,infection,seizures and maternal hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy and hyperglycemia.Results Among the 110 hypoglycemia newborns,33 (30.0％) infants suffered from brain injury,of which 23 were mild and 10 were severe.Blood glucose ≤1.7 mmol/L had high specificity (73％) and sensitivity (60％)for predicting brain injury.When blood glucose≤ 1.7 mmol/L,the incidence of brain injury and severe brain injury was 43.6％ (24/55) and 18.2％ (10/55),which was higher than those [16.4％(9/55) and 0.0％ (0/55)] of patients whose glucose level ＞1.7 mmol/L(x2 =9.74 and 11.00,P＜0.01 respectively).Blood glucose ≤ 1.2 mmol/L had high specificity (100％) and sensitivity (81％) for predicting severe brain injury.When blood glucose ≤1.2 mmol/L,the incidence of severe brain injury was higher than that of the patients whose glucose level was higher than 1.2 mmol/L [34.5％ (10/29) vs 0.0％ (0/81),x2 =30.72,P＜0.01].Duration of hypoglycemia ≥12 h had specificity (100％) and sensitivity (36 ％) for predicting brain injury.When duration of hypoglycemia ＜12 h,the incidence of brain injury was lower than that of the patients whose duration of hypoglycemia≥12 h [21.4％ (21/98) vs 6/6,x2 =27.69,P＜0.01].Multivariate Logistic regression showed that fetal distress (OR=4.69,95％CI:1.47-14.97,P=0.009),glucose level≤1.2 mmol/L (OR =5.16,95％CI:1.56-17.03,P=0.007),duration of hypoglycemia≥12 h (OR=8 885 220 297.12,95％CI:0.00-∞,P =0.000) and maternal hyperglycemia (OR =3.34,95％CI:1.01-11.02,P=0.048) were independent risk factors for neonatal brain injury.Conclusions Low blood glucose level and prolonged hypoglycemia might induce injury of neurol system.Fetal distress and maternal hyperglycemia might increase the incidence of brain injury in newborns with hypoglycemia.

Objectives To assess the performance of first trimester ultrasound screening for fetal structural and chromosomal anomalies based on a detailed anomaly and nuchal translucency (NT) scan at 11-13+6 weeks' gestation.Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital.Fetuses with a crown-rump length (CRL) between 45 mm and 84 mm scanned during December 2015 to March 2016 were enrolled in this study.After a detailed first-trimester anomaly scan followed the protocol of systematic standardized scan plans,fetuses with congenital abnormalities were screened out.Second trimester ultrasound screening and postnatal examination were performed for further examination of fetal anomalies.Cytogenetic analysis was performed on the fetuses with informed consent.Results (1) A total of 1 154 fetuses were enrolled in this study and among them,36 (3.1％) cases of fetal abnormalities were diagnosed through prenatal examination (35 cases) and postnatal examination (one case).(2) Twenty-one (58.3％) out of the 36 cases with structural and chromosomal anomalies were screened out by using the first-trimester scan,including eight cases of congenital cardiac defect (two cases of atrioventricular septal defect,one case of tricuspid atresia,one case of tetralogy of tetralogy,one case of right ventricle aneurysms and one cases of hypoplastic left heart syndrome combined with cystic hygroma with one case combined with polydactyly),four cases of central nervous system anomaly (three cases of exencephaly and one case of anencephaly combined with double outlet right ventricle),two cases of cleft palate/lip with one case combined with double outlet right ventricle,two cases of exomphalos,one case of amniotic band syndrome,one case of spinal bifida combined with megacystis,one case of umbilical cyst,one case of polydactyly and one case of cystic hygroma.One case of twin pregnancy chose selective fetocide to the fetus with exencephaly and 16 cases terminated pregnancy.The other four cases were confirmed by second trimester ultrasound screening and postnatal examination.Fourteen (38.9％,14/36) new cases of structural and chromosomal anomalies were detected by the second-trimester scan,six of which terminated the pregnancies and the rest were confirmed at term.One (2.8％,1/36) case of polydactyly was detected postnatally.(3) Chromosomal microarray analysis was performed on 28 cases,seven of which were identified as having chromosomal abnormalities including five cases detected in the first trimester and two cases detected in the second trimester.(4) Out of the 20 fetuses with abnormal NT in early trimester,which accounted for 1.7％ of all enrolled fetuses,nine were indentified with major structural or chromosomal abnormalies,a quarter of all abnormal fetus.Conclusions Detailed anomaly scan and NT scan in the first-trimester can increase the detection rate of fetal structural and chromosomal anomalies as compared with the traditional NT scan and provide earlier detection of severe fetal abnormalities as compared with second trimester anomaly scan.

Objective To explore the significance of the suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1)gene methylation in the genesis, development and prognosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods The methylation state of CpG island in SOCS-1 gene were detected by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the level of SOCS-1 gene was measured by the real-time PCR. The clinical data of 30 patients with DLBCL were collected, and according to the international prognosis index (IPI), they were divided into low risk group and high risk group. Results Aberrant methylation of SOCS-1 in 17 DLBCL patients (56.7 %) were positive, however, in control group aberrant methylation was negative(P ＜0.01).The methylation level of DLBCL patients with positive SOCS-1 methylation was higher than that of patients with negative (P ＜0.05). Combined with the clinical data, the positive rate of methylation in patients with high level of serum LDH or the numbers of extra-nodal lesions＞l were significantly higher than that in patients with normal LDH level or the numbers of extra-nodal lesions ≤ 1, respectively. Hence, the positive rate of methylation in the high risk group of DLBCL was higher than that in the low risk group (P ＜0.05). Conclusion There were aberrant methylations of the SOCS-1 gene in the patients with DLBCL. The methylations of SOCS-1 can silence the gene expression, which indicates that SOCS-1 and its methylations play some role on genesis and development of DLBCL and can evaluate the prognosis of the patients with DLBCL.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of Danxiong Recipe (DR) on brain in hypoxia mice.Methods Sixty mice were equally randomized to 6 groups:normal group,model group,propranolol group and low-,model- anti high-dose DR groups.Except the normal group,the mice in other groups were given the corresponding drug intra- gastrically according to the experimental design,once a day,for 7 days.After treatment,the survival time under nor- mobaric hypoxia condition in different groups was calculated.Meanwhile,the activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS),and the contents of malondiadehyde (MDA) and lactic acid (LD) in the brain ho- mogenate were detected with test kit.Results The results showed that DR could prolong the survival time of the mice, inhibit obviously the abnormal increase of MDA and LD,reduce NOS activity,and enhance SOD activity in mice brain. Conclusion DR exerts protective effect on brain in hypoxia mice under normal pressure.
