1.Advances in intestinal mucosal barrier in the pathogenesis and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease
International Journal of Pediatrics 2013;40(4):355-358
Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) is a recurrent chronic nonspecific intestinal inflammatory disease which can be seen at any age.Its pathogenesis is not clear and the incidence is increasing.Intestinal mucosal barrier has the function to isolate intestinal contents and internal environment which can prevent pathogens invade to lamina propria mucosae and maintain organic homeostasis and normal activities.Impairment of intestinal barrier is a key event in various gastrointestinal diseases,such as IBD.The dysfunction of intestinal mucosal mechanic barrier,immunologic barrier and biologic barrier or their interactions all can induce gastrointestinal diseases.Identifying the specific mechanism of intestinal mucosal barrier impairment in pathogenesis of IBD,maintaining and restoring intestinal barrier function is becoming a new strategy in the treatment of IBD.

Objective To investigate the correlation between occurrence time and condition severity in patients of bronchial asthma complicated with allergic rhinitis. Methods The 583 outpatients with asthma in an asthma clinic during 1996-2002 were divided into simple asthma group (Group Ⅰ with 292 cases) and asthma complicated with allergic rhinitis group (Group Ⅱ with 291 cases), and their data were compared and statistically analyzed. Results The proportion of those complicated with other diseases, e.g. , nasal polyp, sinusitis, atopic dermatitis, and with a history of allergy, e.g. , food allergy, drug allergy and positive skin allergic test, was significantly higher in the Group Ⅱ than that in the Group Ⅰ ( P
5.CYP1A1 Gene Mutation and Susceptibility to Lung Cancer
Basic & Clinical Medicine 1999;19(5):389-393
Individual susceptibility to cancer induced by environmental agents may be influenced by polymorphic metabolic genes responsible for the activation or detoxification of carcinogens.The association between genetic polymorphisms in cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) and lung cancer susceptibility has been extensively studied.The various CYP1A1 alleles exhibit population frequencies that depend on race and ethnicity.An increased risk of lung cancer in Asians was found to be associated with genetic polymorphisms in CYP1A1.However,reports from Caucasians are not consistant,probably suggesting the ethnic-sepecific effect of the polymorphisms in the locus on the cancer.Evidence also exists for the association between levels of carcinogen-DNA adducts or frequency of oncogene and tumor suppressor gene mutations and CYP1A1 polymorphisms.These findings provide a better understanding of the relationship between CYP1A1 and lung cancer susceptibility.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of age and gender on the position of termination of the conus medullaris (CMT).MethodsOne thousand three hundred and thirty-nine patients aged 4-89 yr scheduled for lumbar magnetic resonance imaging examination were selected.The position of CMT was determined using Visart 1.5 T or Magnetom Trio 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging instrument.Results Five hundred and ninety-four male patients and 745 female patients were enrolled in the study.There was no significant difference in the percentage of CMT located at the L2,3 intervertebral disc level between female (1.2%) and male (0.5%) patients (P>0.05),and female patients had a lower mean CMT than male patients (P<0.01).There was no correlation between age and mean CMT in patients aged ≤19 yr (P> 0.05).There was a positive correlation between age and mean CMT in female patients aged≤20 yr (r =0.076,P<0.05),but there was no correlation between age and mean CMT in male patients aged ≤ 20 yr (P>0.05 ).ConclusionFemale patients have a lower mean CMT than male patients,and there is still a risk when performing spinal anesthesia,although the probability that CMT located at the L2,3 intervertebral disc level is low in female and male patients.The position of CMT is lower with increased age in adult female patients,but it is not related to age in adult male patients.
