1.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.

Objective To investigate the role of color Doppler ultrasound in the middle and late fetal heart malformations screening and inspection methods.Methods The analysis of 38 cases of fetal malformation of the heart in our hospital from January 2010 to December 2012 and observe a variety of cardiac malformations in different facets of ultrasound performance.Results 38 cases of fetal congenital heart disease were diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasound,which included tetralogy of Fallot in 7 cases (18.42%),6 cases (15.79%) of atrioventricular septal defect,4 cases(10.53%) of single atrium single ventricle,right ventricular dysplasia 3 cases(7.89%),4 cases(10.53%)of left ventricular hypoplasia and 4 cases(10.53%) of partial endocardial cushion defect,3 cases(7.89%) of complete endocardial cushion defect,3 cases (7.89%) of the great arteries transposition,1 (2.63 %) of pure pulmonary stenosis,2 cases(5.26%) of persistent truncus arteriosus and dextrocardia one cases(2.63%).The pregnant women with high-risk factors were 25 cases(65.79%).20 cases(52.63%) were diagnosed by single four-chamber detection,FCV + (AR-SAV) detected 24 cases(63.16%),higher than the FCV section diagnosis rate(x2 =34.61,P <0.05);FCV + VOTV,FCV and + 3VV and FCV + 3VVT section diagnosis rates were 30 (78.95%),37 (97.37%)and 37 (97.37%) respectively,which were significantly higher than FCV section (x2 =35.06,37.22,38.14,P <0.05).FCV + 3VV and FCV + 3VVT were significantly higher than the other three facets(x2 =33.97,38.10,34.24,39.02,33.89,35.63,P < 0.05).Conclusion It is important for screening fetal congenital heart disease by Color Doppler ultrasound.The different ultrasonic slice can improve the diagnosis of late fetal heart malformations.
4.Effect of anisodamine on the reserpine-induced gastric mucosal lesion in rats
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2000;16(3):237-242
AIM: To determine the effects of anisodamine (Ani) administered intraperitoneally on the gastric mucosal lesion induced by reserpine.METHODS:In reserpine-treated rats, gastric mucosal lesion, gastric acid secretion, gastric barrier mucus secretion, gastric contraction, gastric mucosal blood flow (GMBF), gastric mucosal nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity and nitric oxide (NO) content were examined.RESULTS:Ani in doses of 1,5 and 10 mg/kg significantly inhibited the formation of gastric lesions induced by reserpine, with the suppressive rate of 60.0%, 66.7% and 76.6%, respectively. Ani (10 mg/kg) significantly inhibited the secretion of gastric acid, but had no effect on the volume of gastric juice. Ani (10 mg/kg) significantly prompted the secretion of gastric barrier mucus. Our findings also showed that Ani (10 mg/kg) significantly suppressed the frequency and amplitude of gastric contraction. Ani (10 mg/kg) significantly prompted GMBF. In reserpine treated rats, gastric mucosal NOS activity and NO content were decreased and Ani (10 mg/kg) could inhibit the decrease in NOS activity and NO content.CONCLUSIONS:The protective effect of Ani may results in part from inhibiting gastric acid secretion, prompting gastric barrier mucus secretion, suppressing gastric contraction and improving GMBF. NO seems to play an important mediator role in the Ani protective mechanisms.

9.Non-absorbable mesh reconstruction for pelvic organ prolapse pelvic floor:therapeutic efficacy and biocompatibility evaluation
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(43):6988-6992
BACKGROUND:Surgical treatment is mostly adopted in the treatment of III-IV pelvic organ prolapse, in which, the appropriate patch can be used to implement the pelvic floor reconstruction so as to reconstruct the pelvic anatomic relationship and restore the normal pelvic organ function. OBJECTIVE: To verify the efficacy and biocompatibility of the non-absorbable mesh reconstruction of the pelvic floor in III-IV pelvic organ prolapse. METHODS: Totaly 127 female cases of III-IV pelvic organ prolapse were enroled, aged 31-81 years. Of the 127 cases, 65 cases undergoing vaginal hysterectomy and anterior and posterior vaginal wal repair served as control group, another 62 cases undergoing pelvic floor reconstruction using non-absorbable mesh acted as observation group. The two groups were observed in the perioperative period and then folowed up for 12 months. POP-Q measurement, pelvic floor function and adverse reactions were observed in the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The operation time and blood loss in the observation group were less than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After 12 months of folow-up, the results of POP-Q measurement were significantly improved in the both groups compared with the previous (P< 0.05), but there was no difference between the two groups. In addition, pelvic floor static tension, dynamic tension and contraction force were stronger in the observation group than the control group (P < 0.05). In the observation group, there were six cases of mesh corrosion, one case of infection and one case of dysuria. It is indicated that the non-absorbable mesh reconstruction of the pelvic floor can effectively restore the pelvic energy in patients with III-IV pelvic organ prolapse, but there are some adverse reactions such as mesh corrosion.
