2.Association of solute carrier family 2, member 9 (SLC2A9) genetic variant rs3733591 with gout in a Malay sample set
The Medical Journal of Malaysia 2018;73(5):307-310
Introduction: Gout is one of the most common inflammatory
arthritis in Malaysia. It is due to persistent hyperuricemia
that leads to the formation and deposition of intra- and periarticular monosodium urate crystals either due to excessive
production or insufficient excretion of uric acid. Incidence
and prevalence of gout is increasing worldwide, with a
higher rate among men compared to women. Malay is the
largest ethnic group in Malaysia, followed by Chinese and
Indian. SLC2A9 is a renal urate transporter that controls
renal uric acid excretion and genetic variants in SLC2A9 are
associated with the risk of gout in several populations. This
study aimed to test if the SLC2A9 variant (R265H, rs3733591)
is also associated with gout among Malays in Malaysia.
Methodology: A total of 89 patients with gouty arthritis and
100 normal subjects who consented and were recruited in
this study. The serum urate and creatinine were measured.
The SNP genotyping was performed using PCR-RFLP
method for rs3733591 and BST 1236 was used as a
restriction enzyme to cut the targeted amplicons.
Result: SLC2A9 variant was associated with gout, p-value of
0.007, OR=4.713 [95%CI 1.530-14.513], however this
association was not significant after adjustment for age and
gender with p=0.465 (OR=1.950; 95%CI[0.325-11.718]).
Conclusion: Our data suggest that the genetic variant of
SLC2A9 may contribute to the susceptibility of gout among
Malays in Malaysia.

9.Interaction between influenza virus and Streptococcus pneumoniae
International Journal of Pediatrics 2011;38(1):74-76
The mortality cases caused by influenza virus are offen associated with the secondary bacterial infection, Streptococcus pneumoniae infection in particularly. The mechanisms underlying the interaction between the virus and the bacteria are unclear at present. The damage of normal protective epithelial layer and changes in airway function caused by influenza virus provides increased numbers of attachment sites and culture spaces for the bacteria. The effect of influenza on immune system is a further opportunity for subsequent bacterial infection. The synergistic effect between influenza virus and Streptococcus pneumoniae might not be unidirectional. The bacteria caused the secondary infection could enhance the pathogenicity of the virus. The bacterium-derived proteases could cleave hemagglutinin to its active components that are required for infectivity of the virus. The effect of the bacteria on the virus could enhance the lethality of the primary viral disease, which can explain why antibiotic therapy was less successful to treat the influenza patient with subsequent bacteria infection. Effective strategies to prevent and treat the severe diseases could be suggested based on the knowledge of interaction between virus and bacteria.
10.Recent advances of surgical treatment for rectal cancer
China Oncology 2006;0(10):-
Incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer(CRC) are rising.There were one million and twenty-three thousand new cases and five hundred and twenty-nine thousand deaths in 2002,which were 8.3% and 7.5% more than that in 2000,respectively.Incidence and mortality of CRC take the third and forth place in all cancers.Mortality in China has increased by 70.7% since 1991,by 4.71% per year in average.Therefore,CRC is one of the heat points in cancer research.In this paper,we focused on the progress in treatment for rectal cancer.Sphincter-preserved resection has an increasing proportion in surgical procedures,owing to improvement of technique,TME and the staplers.Above all,the most important reason seems to be the popular opinion that distal margin of 1 to 2 centimeters is safe enough.TME acts as a "gold standard" in rectal cancer resection,due to its magnificent potential in controlling local recurrence which had decreased from 35%-45% to 3%-11%.Microsurgery is a band-new technique.Laparoscopic colon resection is satisfactory with selective cases.Extended resection results in improving 5-year survival of advanced rectal cancer distal to the reflection to 68%.Further improvement of the outcome depends on multiple modality regimens.Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapyshows an exciting prospect in some trials.But more multicenter clinical trials are needed to solve the remaining problems.
