SICH is a kind of disease affected by multiple factors includ?ing environmental and genetic factors. The high morbidity and mortality cause serious damage to human health. Therefore, it is important to find etiology and risk factors of SICH. The article reviewed the progress of SICH pathogenesis in the perspec?tive of genetics and molecular biology.

Objective To explore the correlation of the throid function and malnutrition in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD) patients.Methods Fifty-four MHD patients and 16 normal controls were enrolled as our subjects and named as MHD group and control group.Serum concentrations of total triiodothyronine (TT3),total thyroxine (TT4),free thyroine (FT4),free triiodothyronine (FT3),and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) were measured by enhanced chemiluminescence immunoassay.Their anthropometry,biochemical assays,malnutrition-inflammation score (MlS) and micro-inflammation parameters such as high sensitivity C-reactiveprotein(hs-CRP) were also measured.Results Serum T3,FT3,T4,FT4 concentration in MHD patients were (1.18 ±0.31) nmol/L,(2.61 ±0.62) pmol/L,(100.00 ± 19.96) nmol/L,(8.56 ±0.85) pmol/L respectively,lower than that of control group ((2.95 ± 0.27) nmol/L,(7.12 ± 0.94) pmol/L,(136.25 ± 19.68) nmol/L,(8.89 ± 0.56) pmol/L respectively,P ＜ 0.01).while there was no significant change on TSH (P =0.058).According to albumin nutrient grading standard:the morbidity of malnutrition was 75％ (39/54).The morbidity of malnutrition was 100％ based on the criteria of MIS.Of which,mild malnutrition rate was 29.63％ (16/54),moderate rate for 37.04％ (20/54) and sever rate for 33％ (18/54).The levels of serum creatinine,hemoglobin,serum iron,upper arm circumference,body mass index(BMI),deltoid skinfold,hs-CRP,T3,FT3,T4,FT4,TSH in MHD patients with mild,moderate and serve rate MIS were significant different(P ＜ 0.01).Of 54 MHD patients,32 cases were with micro inflammatory state,accounting for 59.26％ (32/54).There was a positive correlation between FT3 and albumin (P ＜0.01).T3 was related to serum creatinine(P ＜ 0.05).Thyroid function parameters showed a negative correlation with hs-CRP,MIS(P ＜ 0.01).And a negative correlation was seen between nutrition indices and hs-CRP and MIS (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Thyroid function can reflect the nutrition status of MHD patients to some degree,and both relate with miro-inflammation.Furthermore,MIS is a useful index for the estimation of malnutrition inflammation status.

Objective To design a multiplex PCR for simultaneous identification and toxigenic type characterization of Clostridium difficile isolates. MethodsThree pairs of primers were designed for the amplification of a species-specific internal fragment of the tpi( triose phosphate isomerase) gene, an internal fragment of the tcdB ( toxin B) gene, and an internal fragment of the tcdA ( toxin A) gene. Twenty-one standard strains including Clostridium difficile ATCC 9689 and 47 isolates of Clostridium difficile were applied for the assessment of detection limit, specificity and detections of the multiplex PCR, respectively. Toxin A and Toxin B of 47 isolates were analyzed by ELISA. ResultsThe detection limit for DNA concentration of the multiplex PCR was 0.5 pg/μl. The specificity was determined to be 100％. Among the results of 47 isolates detected by multiplex PC R, 37 strains were tpi ( + )/tcdA (+)/tcdB ( + ), 10 strains were tpi ( + )/tcdA (-)/tcdB ( - ). Tpi ( + )/tcdA ( - )/tcdB ( + ) was not found. The toxin detection of 47 isolates by ELISA showed that 20 isolates were positive and 27 isolates were negative. Twenty isolates of toxin (+) by ELISA were all tpi( +)/tcdA( +)/tcdB(+) by multiplex PCR. ConclusionThe multiplex PCR method combined diagnosis and toxigenic type characterization contributes to the diagnosis for Clostridium difficile infection.
