Objective:To investigate the relationship between apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genetype and the depressed symptoms in patients with coronary heart disease. Methods:The genotypes and alleles of apolipoprotein E gene in 26 depressed patients with coronary heart disease,30 non-depressed patients with coronary heart disease and 30 healthy control subjects were examined with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) technique.Meanwhile, the HRSD was completed by all 86 subjects. Results:The frequency of Apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 in depressed patients with coronary heart disease was more than that in normal subjects .Especially the total cholesterol, HRSD and HAD in patients with the apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 were significantly higher than those in patients without the apolipoprotein E epsilon 4. Conclusion:Our results support the polymorphisms of apolipoprotein E gene were associated with the depressed symptoms in coronary heart disease. Apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 may play a major role in the pathogenesis of depressed symptoms in patients with coronary heart disease.

Objective To understand the epigenetic regulations of P16 during cellular replicative senescence and premature senescence induced by hydrogen peroxide of human embryonic lung fibroblasts(HEFs).Methods The normal HEFs were divided into young cells(22 PDL),mid-aged cells(35 PDL)and replicative senescent cells(49 PDL)during replicative senescence.The synchronously cultured 22 PDL HEFs were exposed for 2 h to 400?mol/L H_2O_2 at half confluence on daily basis.The procedure lasted for 4 consecutive days.And then the treated cells were cultured for another 7 days,called premature senescent cells.The mRNA level of P16 was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR.The methylation level in the promoter region -846～-639 bp was observed by methylation-specific PCR(MSP).The histone modifications was detected by chromatin immunoprecipitation-QPCR assay,including acetylation for H3,H4 and methylation for H3(Lys4)and H4(Lys20).Results In the process of cellular senescence,the mRNA level of P16 decreased in mid-aged cells,but increased significantly in both replicative and premature senescent cells compared with that of young cells(P

Anorexia Nervosa(AN),one kind of eating disorder charactered by abnormal eating patterns,low body weight,and weight and shape concerns,is an intractable psychiatric illness which has the highest mortality rates.The etiology of AN is complex,and the neurobiology mechanisms of AN remain unclear.Much of the research provided indications that the pathogenesis of AN is associated with the oxytocin (OT) functions.Summarizing the recent advances on OT in AN,a systematic review of OT research was conducted that it pertains to regulation of feeding,social activity,emotion and bone metabolism in AN.OT probably play an important role in the development and progression of AN.OT system disorder may be an state indicator rather than a trait indicator of AN.Because of the variety physiological effects and the complex effects on AN,OT has the potential applications,especially for the treatment of AN.

Objective To investigate the head and neck CTA findings and cerebral CTPI in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA),and their relationship with frequency of TIA,duration and CTA detected responsible vessels.Methods 180 TIA patients were selected as the research subjects,the GE Lightspeed 64 spiral CT perfusion CT scan and CTA examination were taken,and the differences in CTPI parameters measurement,head and neck artery disease of patients were analyzed.To observe the correlation between CTPI perfusion abnormalities in patients with TIA seizure frequency,duration and NIHSS score.The CTPI perfusion abnormalities and consistency of CTA display of responsible vessels were analyzed.Results The positive rate of CTPI examination was 75.56％,that of CTA examination was 81.11％.The positive rate of patients(NIHSS ≥4 points) with CTPI was 88.89％,which was higher than 66.67 ％ in patients (NIHSS ＜ 4 points) with CTPI (x2 =6.87,P ＜ 0.05).The positive rate of patients (seizures time ≥ 10min) with CTPI TIA was 71.43％,which was higher than 45.45 ％ of the patients (seizures time ＜ 10m in) with CTPI (x2 =7.23,P ＜ 0.05).The CTPI positive rate of patients with the TIA seizure frequency ≥ 2 times/d was 83.33％,which was higher than 61.67％ of patients with the seizure frequency ＜ 2 times/d(x2 =5.48,P ＜ 0.05).The CTPI positive and CTA responsibility vascular consistent proportion was 73.33 ％,which was significantly higher than 26.67％ of both inconsistent and negative (x2 =19.43,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The cerebral CTPI and head and neck CTA can response to TIA in patients with intracranial lesions accurately,consistency and clinical manifestations are very good,which have higher value in clinical application.

In this paper,the effects of SFPS on red blood cell immune function of P388mice is presented. The results suggest that SFPS' enhancing the immune function of red blood cells of P388 mice may be related to decreasing the content of LPO of red blood cell membranes inhibiting the formation of HMP by protein of red blood cell membranes and systolic protein,increasing the sealing degree of red bold cell menbranes and the content of sialic acid and enhancing the activities of SOD, CAT, and Na+, K+-ATPase of red blood cell membranes.

Objective: To observe the changes of blood T-cell subpopulations, ASO,IL-6 and IL-8 in children with Tic disorder and explore the pathogenesis. Methods: T-cell subpopulations and concentration of IL-6, IL-8, ASO were measured in 52 children with tic disorder and 30 normal children using SAP and ELISA.Results:The numbers of CD3+、CD4+ and CD8+ cells had no significant difference between 32 children with tic disorder and 30 normal children, and the concentration of ASO in serum of children with tic disorder was markedly higher than those in normal children. The concentrations of IL-6 and IL-8 in serum had no significant difference between the two groups.Conclusion: There may be dysfunction in humoral immunity in tic disorder.

Objective To investigate the factors in association with colorectal disorders in adult recipients of liver allograft. Methods A retrospective cohort study was carried out with clinical, microbiological and management data regarding diarrhea in 218 adult recipients of liver allograft from Jan. 2003 to Dec. 2006. Results Of the 218 patients, 68(31.2%) of them, who did not history of ulcerative colitis, were found to have diarrhea after orthotopic liver transplantation. Among these 68 patients, diarrhea was probably caused by administration of immunosuppressive agents in 35 cases (51.4%), in 12 cases (17.6%) diarrhea was antibiotics associated, and in 5 cases (7.4%) it was due to intraperitoneal infection. The other pathogenic factors included fungal infection in 3 cases (4.4%), cytomegalovirus infection in 3 cases (4.4%), Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy in 8 cases (11.8%) and some other unknown problem related in 2 cases (2.9%). Diarrhea occurred soon after transplantation in most cases. Of the 68 patients, the symptom of diarrhea occurred in the first 2 months in 45 cases (66.2%), and in the next 4 months in 23 cases (33.8%), i.e. the symptoms occurred 5-180 days after transplantation. Conclusion Immunosuppressive agents, antibiotics, fungal infection and cytomegalovirus infection are the top four common causes of diarrhea after orthotopic liver transplantation. The outcome is good with appropriate conservative management.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT)gene polymorphism and Gilles de la Tourette' s syndrome(GTS).MethodsUsing Amplification Refractory Mutation System(ARMS) PCR genotyping assay method,a polymorphism (val158met) of COMT gene was genotyped in 112 of all GTS patients ( total GTS group) including 54 GTS-alone patients group,48 GTS + ADHD patients group among of them and 71 healthy controls.The correlation between positive association of polymorphism (val158met)of COMT gene in GTS and the age of onset in patients with GTS was also analyzed.ResultsCompared with healthy controls group,genotype of val158met did not differ in total GTS patients group or alone-GTS patients group (χ2 =0.56,P=0.756;χ2 =1.05,P=0.600 respectively).There was also no significant difference (P＞0.05)in allele distribution of val158met in total GTS patients group or alone-GTS patients group compared with controls group respectively (χ2 =0.18,P=0.669;χ2 =0.29,P=0.593 respectively).However,genotype distribution of val158met was significantly different between GTS + ADHD patients group and controls group( χ2 =6.35,P =0.041 ).The frequency of the val allele of this locus was significantly higher in GTS + ADHD patients group than those in controls group ( χ2 =5.49,P =0.019 ).The mean age of onset (6.80 ± 1.54 ) in 36 children within GTS + ADHD patients group with the val/val geantype of COMT gene val158met polymorphism was significantly earlier than the mean age of onset (8.04 ± 1.54)in 12 children in val/val genotype (P =0.016 ).ConclusionPolymorphism (val158met) of COMT gene may be associated with GTS children with comorbid ADHD,which may play an important role to make the age of onset in children with GTS become earlier.

The susceptibility to 9 kinds of antibiotics of 393 animal pathogenic E. coli isolated from clinical samples was determined from 2000 to 2003. The resistance to TC, GM, CMP, AMP, RA, KM, FT, SM and CIP were 93.89%, 57.76%,78.63%, 77.86%, 92.11% ,47.33%, 46.82%, 76.84% and 74.81%, respectively. The isolates could be classified into eight classes according to the number of drugs to which srains were resistant. The resistance spectrum of the isolates varied from 2to 9 kinds of the above drugs. The strains that were resistant to seven kinds of drugs were more than 80 percent. The resistance rates of swine origin strains to GM,AMP and KM were higher than those of poultry origin strains, while the resistance rates of poultry origin strains to TC, CMP, SM and CIP were higher remarkably than those of swine origins. The frequency of resistance increased from 2000 to 2003,which was from 67.33% to 90.58% for CMP, 71.29% to 84.81% for AMP, 73.76%to 80.10% for SM and 61.88% to 88.48% for CIP. At the same time, the resistance rate of GM decreased from 61.39% to 53.92%. Thirty-seven strains (95 %) could make all the Kunming mice die within 72 h injected intraperitoneally with the culmice three times in vivo. The pathogenicity of wild strains with drug resistance acquired naturaly to mice did not decline.
