Objective: To study changes of serum levels of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) in patients with essential hypertension (EH) and their significance. Methods: A total of 59 EH patients were selected, including 20 cases with EH stage 1 (EH stage 1 group), 19 cases with EH stage 2 (EH stage 2 group) and 20 cases with EH stage 3 (EH stage 3 group). Another 30 healthy subjects were regard as normal control group. Double antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent sandwich assay was used to measure concentrations of HGF and sICAM-1 in all groups, and then the results were compared and analyzed. Results: Compared with normal control group, there were significant increase in serum levels of HGF [(641.65±142.90) pg/ml vs. (998.15±241.38) pg/ml] and sICAM-1 [(161.70±32.36) ng/ml vs. (327.17±31.28) ng/ml] in EH patients (P<0.01 both), and it’s more significant as blood pressure increased (P<0.01). HGF concentration was positively correlated with sICAM-1 concentration (r=0.317, P<0.01). Conclusion: HGF and sICAM-1 may participate in pathogenesis of hypertension, indicating that HGF plays an important role in restore of impaired endothelial cells in hypertension.

This study analysed the tissue specific expression of critical genes involved in chlorogenic acid and luteolin biosynthesis, for exploiting the molecular mechanism of components biosynthesis in Lonicera confusa. Expression of PAL, 4CL, C4H, CHS, CHI, FNS and HQT gene families of chlorogenic acid and luteolin biosynthesis-related genes in buds and leaves of L. confusa were analyed by Real-time PCR. Expressions of PAL1, C4H1, 4CL1, CHS1, CHI3 and HQT2 in buds were lower than that in leaves, and expressions of PAL3, 4CL2, CHI2 and FNS2 in buds were higher than that in leaves. The results indicated that that PAL3 and 4CL2 may be associated with accumulation of chlorogenic acid, and the expression patterns of PAL1, CHS1, CHI3 and HQT2 in buds and leaves of L. confusa were different with L. japonica. This study provided some theoretical basis for the further research on genetic mechanism of active components differences in L. confusa and L. japonica.

Objective: To measure serum testosterone level, plasma levels of interleukin-18 (IL-18) and IL-10 and explore their correlation in patients with different types of coronary heart disease (CHD), and their possible role in occurrence and development of CHD. Methods: A total of 96 male CHD patients were divided into acute myocardial infarction (AMI) group (n=35), unstable angina pectoris (UAP) group (n=32) and stable angina pectoris (SAP) group (n=29). Another 30 patients who were excluded for CHD by coronary angiography were enrolled as non CHD control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure serum testosterone level and plasma levels of IL-18 and IL-10 in all groups. Results: Compared with non CHD control group, there were significant decreases in serum testosterone level [(13.46±1.99) mmol/L vs. (6.89±1.35) mmol/L vs. (5.02±1.87) mmol/L, t=1.917～2.365, P<0.05 both] in UAP group and AMI group, and that of AMI group was significantly lower than that of UAP group, t=1.034, P<0.05; there were significant increases in IL-18 levels [(146.72±79.36) pg/ml vs. (209.32±80.49) pg/ml vs. (316.78±75.63) pg/ml vs. (457.78±83.21) pg/ml, t=2.016～3.167,P<0.05 all] in SAP group, UAP group and AMI group, and those of UAP group and AMI group were significantly higher than that of SAP group, t=2.173, 2.596, P<0.05; there were significant increases in IL-10 levels [(48.46±18.27) pg/ml vs. (116.45±42.76) pg/ml vs. (85.64±27.33) pg/ml vs. (70.26±18.55) pg/ml, t=2.997～2.018, P<0.05 all] in SAP group, UAP group and AMI group, and those of AMI group and UAP group were significantly lower than that of SAP group (t=2.034, 2.291, P<0.05 both). Pearson linear regression analysis indicated that serum testosterone level was negatively correlated with levels of IL-10 (r=-0.678, P<0.01) and IL-18 (r=-0.579, P<0.01) in CHD group. Conclusion: There are significant changes in serum testosterone level and plasma IL-18, IL-10 levels, and testosterone level is significantly negatively related with IL-18, IL-10 levels, and they can be regard as new indexes assessing coronary atherosclerotic lesion.

Objective To observe the changes of serum sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) level in asthmatic patients with different severity of bronchial asthma, and to explore the evaluation value of S1P on the severity of asthma.Methods A prospective observational study was conducted. Fifty-two patients with asthma admitted to Department of Respiratory Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiamusi University from November 2015 to January 2017 were enrolled. According to the severity of the disease, the patients were divided into mild, moderate and severe groups. In the same period, 25 healthy subjects were served as healthy control group. All the subjects got the peripheral venous blood collection in the morning fasting, the level of serum S1P was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the peripheral blood eosinophil (EOS) was counted, and the pulmonary function test was performed. The correlation among the parameters was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was plotted, and the value of serum S1P on evaluating the severity of asthma was analyzed.Results Fifty-two asthma patients were enrolled, including 17 patients of the mild, 19 of the moderate, and 16 of the severe. Compared with the healthy control group, serum S1P level and peripheral blood EOS in different degree asthma groups were significantly increased, and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) was decreased significantly; and with asthma exacerbations, serum S1P levels and peripheral blood EOS were gradually increased [mild, moderate and severe S1P (nmol/L) were 1537.0±120.3, 1980.7±149.5, 2202.2±117.2 (F= 274.624, P= 0.001); EOS (×109/L) were 0.13±0.06, 0.20±0.07, 0.37±0.14 , respectively (F= 44.093,P = 0.001)], and FEV1 was decreased gradually [mild, moderate and severe were 0.89±0.05, 0.63±0.06, 0.42±0.10, respectively (F= 159.756,P = 0.001)]. Correlation analysis showed that there were significant positive correlations between serum S1P level and peripheral blood EOS in patients with mild, moderate and severe asthma (r value was 0.696, 0.746,0.508, allP < 0.05), and negatively correlations with FEV1 were found (r value was -0.761, -0.655, -0.815, all P < 0.01). There was no significant correlation between serum S1P level and EOS, FEV1 in healthy control group (r value was 0.324 and -0.048, bothP> 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under curve (AUC) of serum S1P for assessing mild, moderate and severe asthma was 0.948, 1.000, 1.000, respectively; when the cut-off of S1P was 1181.8, 1534.2, 1708.6 nmol/L, the sensitivity was 88.2%, 100%, 100%, and the specificity was 88.0%, 100% and 100%, respectively.Conclusions During asthma attack, the serum S1P level was gradually increased with the exacerbation of the disease. Serum S1P level has significant evaluative effect on the severity of asthma.

Objective To investigate the prenatal diagnosis and prognosis of fetuses with mild ventriculomegaly in order to provide evidence for clinical consultation and treatment.Methods The data of 116 mothers with fetal ventriculomegaly who received prenatal care in Peking University First Hospital between January 1,2013 and May 31,2015 were retrospectively analyzed.All cases of fetal ventriculomegaly were found by ultrasound screening,and were subsequently diagnosed by ultrasound consultation as mild ventriculomegaly.The results of fetal cerebral MRI and invasive prenatal diagnosis were analyzed and the growth and development of babies were followed up by telephone using the Gesell developmental scale.All data was analyzed by descriptive statistics.Results Of the 88 cases of solitary ventriculomegaly,48 (54.5％) received karyotype analysis or screening,and only one case was found to be abnormal,which was an unbalanced translocation.Of the 83 mothers with normal delivery,only one infant (1.2％) showed retardation of intelligence and motor development.Of the 28 cases of non-solitary ventriculomegaly,17 (60.7％) received karyotype analysis or screening,and no abnormalities were found.Of the 18 mothers with normal delivery,only one infant showed retardation of growth and development,and was found to have brain hypoplasia before delivery by MRI with normal karyotype.Conclusions The rate of abnormal karyotype in mild vetriculomegaly is very low in this study.The width of the lateral ventricles is stable during pregnancy and the prognosis of infants is good.Thus,whether invasive prenatal diagnosis is necessary for all the fetuses with isolated mild ventriculomegaly remains to be confirmed.

Abstract BACKGROUND:Studies have found that Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) is associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, opening up a new way of studying molecular genetics. So far more than 100 kinds of SOD1 gene mutations have been found. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the hot spot, research front and knowledge base of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis visualy. METHODS:Totaly 4 693 relevant articles published from 2005 to 2014 were retrieved from Web of Science in ISI with “Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase” or “SOD1” as search keywords. With the aid of CiteSpace III software, the visualization mapping of the network in co-cited articles and keywords was drawn to reveal knowledge base, hot spots and research front of SOD1. The parameters include the number of published papers and citations within 10 years, distribution of research countries and institutions, main source journals, research area of highly cited papers, keywords with high-frequency and emerging keywords with high-frequency in recent 5 years. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The number of published papers and citations in a year showed a trend of sustained growth. United State, China and Japan rank the top three in this area, in which Chinese Academy of Sciences has a great influence among the research institutions. The research fields of SOD1 focus on neurosciences and neurology, biochemistry and molecular biology and so on. The high impact factors of journals with a large number of articles reflect the importance and innovation of this research. Ten high-cited articles consist of the knowledge base on SOD1, directing to the finding of different sites of SOD1 mutation and the measurement of protein concentrations and activity of SOD. The hot spots of SOD1 mainly focus on oxidative stress, familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis caused by SOD1 mutation and different types of transgenic animal models. The research fronts mainly focus on the finding of pathogenesis in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, such as the aggregation of TDP-43, the interaction between astrocytes and motor neurons, optineurin and the inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB, hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9ORF72 and autophagy.
