cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase gene ( CYP7A 1 ) plays a key role in the catabolism of cholesterol into bile acids. To investigate whether the A-204C polymorphism in CYP7A1 gene affects the gene expression,using luciferase as the reporter gene, four recombinants were constructed by inserting forward or reverse sequence with A or C allele at the polymorphism site into the promoter-less vector pGL3-basic. The constructs were then transfected into four cell lines and the luciferase activity of each expression vector was examined by dual luciferase reporter gene assay system. The results showed that activities of the forward sequence of both genotypes were higher than that of reverse sequence. Promoter activity of the recombinants with A allele was about one third lower than that with C allele. According to the analysis with TRANSFAC database, there may exist a Zic3 binding site when there is the C allele at -204. Our study indicates that the A-204 C polymorphism in CYP7A1 promoter region decreases its promoter activity and thus represses the gene expression, possibly due to the lack of a potential Zic3 binding site.

Objective To evaluate the expression of WWOX gene in breast cancer and its relation to hypermethylation of WWOX gene CpG island. Methods The expression of WWOX protein was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining in breast cancer cell line and breast cancer tissues.Methylation specific PCR(MSP)was used to check whether it Was methylated in the promoter and exon 1 of WWOX.Results Deletion in the WWOX expression was observed more frequently in invasive breast tumors,(32.2%)than normal breasttissues(5.4%)(P<0.01).20.3% of premenopause eases were completely negative for WWOX expression compared to 57.2% of postmenopause breast carcinomas(P<0.01).Furthermore,23.1% of Stage Ⅰ(6/26),28.6%of Stage Ⅱ(10/35),46.2%of Stage Ⅲ(12/26)tunlors showed negative WWOX protein expression.In breast cancer specimens.methylation rate of promoter and exon 1 CpG island of WWOX gene was 55%and 45%respectively.Whereas.WWOX CpG islands of normal mammary tissues were completely unmethylated in all cases.CpG islands of WWOX promoter and exon 1 were methylated in MDA-MB-231 cell line but not MCF-7 cell.Conclusions Some deletion in WWOX expression is common in breast cancer and methylation of WWOX DNA CpG islands plays a crucial role in the silence of WWOX.WWOX may play a role in the carcinogenesis and development of breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect of illness severity on preterm infant's hypothalamusputituary-adrenal (HPA) axis, we measured the serum concentration of cortisol,aldosterone and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Methods Ninety preterm infants who were transferred to our hospital within 72 hours after birth were involved. These preterm infants were divided into two groups:gestational age (GA) ≥34 weeks' preterm infants and GA <34 weeks' preterm infants. We evaluated these preterm infants at the time of admission,day 7 and day 14 after birth with neonatal critical illness score (NCIS). Then they were divided into mild group and severe group by the lowest score. We measured their serum cortisol,aldosterone and ACTH at the time of admission,day 7 and day l4 after birth. Results (1) The serum cortisol concentration of preterm infants with severe illness was higher than that of preterm infants with mild illness. Among the GA ≥34 weeks' preterm infants,the serum cortisol concentration of preterm infants with severe illness was significandy higher than that of preterm infants with mild illness within 72 hours after birth (t = -2.263,P =0. 029). Among the GA <34 weeks' preterm infants,the serum cortisol concentration of preterm infants with severe illness was significantly higher than that of preterm infants with mild illness on day 14 after birth (t =-2. 913 ,P =0. 006). (2) Among the preterm infants with severe illness,the serum cortisol concentration of the GA≥34 weeks' was significantly higher than that of the GA < 34 weeks' within 72 hours after birth (t =-2. 641 ,P =0. 010) ;the serum cortisol concentration of the GA <34 weeks' was significantly higher than that of the GA≥34 weeks' on the day 14 after birth(t = -2. 189,P =0. 036) . (3) The serum cortisol concentration was significantly decreased in the GA≥34 weeks'preterm infants (F = 4. 679, P =0. 012). (4) The serum cortisol concentration of aldosterone and ACTH was not significantly different between preterm infants with severe illness and those with mild illness. Conclusion The preterm infant already has the ability to respond to stimuli by regulating cortisol secretion. The serum cortisol concentration increases as disease severity worsens.Serum aldosterone and ACTH concentration are not correlated with the severity of the disease.

Objective The extracorporeal cardiac shock wave therapy ( CSWT ) can promote angiogenesis in ischemic myo-cardium and improve myocardial perfusion , but its mechanisms remain to be clarified .This study aimed to explore the effects of CSWT on the endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), vascular endothe-lial growth factor ( VEGF) and Interleukin-8 ( IL-8) as well as its re-lieving effect on angina pectoris in patients with coronary heart dis-ease. Methods After Dobutamine stress echocardiography ( DSE) and 99 mTc-MIBI myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) at rest and un-der stress, 25 patients with coronary heart disease underwent 9 three-month cycles of CSWT .Before and after the treatment , we obtained the results of 6-min walk test, NYHA cardiac function grades , CCS angina pectoris classes, Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) scores, doses of nitroglycerin administered , left ventricular diastolic di-ameter ( LVDD) , and left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF) .We evaluated myocardial perfusion and myocardial contractile function using MPI and the peak systolic strain rate (PSSR) at rest and under stress, respectively. Results After CSWT, the numbers of EPCs and EPC-CFUs cultured in vitro were significantly increased as compared with the baseline (34.52±6.58 vs 19.56±4.28, P<0.01;12.44±2.66 vs 5.04±1.90, P<0.01), and so was that of the circulating EPCs in the peripheral blood ([904.73±94.77] vs [815.68±101.08] /mL, P<0.05), the levels of VEGF and IL-8 (155.29±23.6 vs 122.26±18.85, P<0.01;149.37±46.51 vs 21.86± 5.96, P<0.01), the distance of 6-min walk (P<0.01), NYHA cardiac function grades (P<0.01), CCS angina pectoris classes (P<0.01), SAQ scores (P<0.01), doses of nitroglycerin administered (P<0.01), and MPI scores at rest and under stress (2.16±0.16 vs 1.04±0.19, P<0.01;1.40±0.16 vs 0.80±0.16, P<0.01), but no statistically significant differences were observed in LVDD and LVEF before and after treatment (P>0.05).The PSSR showed no significant changes at rest (1.21±0.62 vs 1.04±0.43, P>0.05) but remark-ably increased under stress after CSWT (2.02±1.00 vs 1.35±0.66, P<0.01). Conclusion CSWT can up-regulate the expressions of VEGF and IL-8 and improve the function of EPCs in the peripheral blood , and thus plays an important role in relieving the symptoms of angina pectoris , promoting cardiac function and enhancing exercise tolerance in patients with coronary heart disease .

Objective To summarize the characteristics of fetal hand deformity in prenatal two-and three-dimensional u1trasonography. To analyze the causes of missed diagnosis of prenatal u1trasonography in detecting fetal hand deformity. Methods Systematic continuous sequence approach was performed with two-and three-dimensional u1trasonography in 11 854 cases to detect the fetal hand development, deformity and accompanied malformations. Prenatal sonographic features of fetal hand deformities (59 cases) were correlated with the morphology and X-ray characteristics of the delivered fetuses. Results Fifty-nine cases of fetal hand deformity were diagnosed out of 11 854 fetuses by prenatal u1trasonography:44 cases of abnormal wrist posture,1 case of full-ifnger absence, 2 cases of metacarpal and phalanx absence, 3 cases of clinodactyly, 2 cases of forearm and hand absence, 1 case of syndacty, 1 case of polydacty, 5 cases of lethal bone dysplasia. The detection rate was 0.50%(59/11 854). Eight cases were missed:3 cases of partial ifnger absence, 2 cases of clinodactyly, 1 case of syndacty, and 2 cases of polydacty. The rate of missed diagnosis is 11.90%(8/67). Abnormal wrist posture showed a hook-shaped hand in the wrist. Full-finger absence showed that one or multiple ifngers were absent. Metacarpal and phalanx absence showed no fetal hands. Clinodactyly showed that four ifngers were not in the same plane. Forearm and hand missing showed that ulna, metacarpal and phalangeal were absent. Syndacty showed a beak-like hand. Multi-ifnger indicated six ifngers in one hand. Lethal bone dysplasia showed very short limbs. Conclusions Prenatal u1trasonography played an important role in detecting and diagnosing severe type of fetal hand deformity. The detection rate of fetal hand deformities can be greatly improved by appropriate use of the scan-time, fetal position, systematic continuous sequence approach and real three-dimensional u1trasonography.
