Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2015;21(9):1091-1094
Objective To evaluate the association between rs17458312 (-1520C/T) polymorphism of PSMA6 gene and cerebral infarction in Chinese Han population. Methods 211 cerebral infarction patients (case group) and 201 healthy controls (control group) were selected in the study. The single nucleotide polymorphism of rs17458312 of PSMA6 gene was identified with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). The genotypes and allele frequencies distributed in cerebral infarction patients and healthy controls were analyzed. Results The frequencies of CC, CT, TT genotypes and the C allele all revealed no significant difference between the case group and the control group (P>0.05). After stratified by genders, the difference among all genetypes and alleles weren't significant between subgroup (P>0.05). Conclusion The rs17458312 of PSMA6 gene might not be associated with the cerebral infarction.

Objective To evaluate the association between the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the 5-59A/G (rs2241027) of Htra2 gene and Parkinson's disease in Han population of the western GuangDong province. MethodsThe restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to determine the 5-59A/G polymorphism in the intron region of Htra2 gene in the case group (n=56) and healthy control group (n=109). ResultsA allele frequency of 5-59 A/G in cases (46.4%) was trended to more than that in controls (36.7%) (P=0.073), as well as the AA genotyping frequency (21.4% vs 11.0%, P=0.072). For the male, the frequency of AA genotype was significantly more in cases (25.7%) than that in controls (10.3%) (P=0.041), and the frequency of A allele was trended to more in cases (48.6%) than in controls (34.6%) (P=0.051). ConclusionA allele and AA genotype of the 5-59A/G (rs2241027) of Htra2 gene may increase the risk of suffering from Parkinson's disease, especially for males.

Objective To investigate the correlation between G753A and C1040T polymorphisms in the gene encoding region of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI )and cerebral infarction in patients with cerebral infarction in Chinese Han population. Methods C1040T and G753A poly-morphisms in the TAFI gene encoding region in 130 patients with cerebral infarction and 118 healthy subjects (control group)were analyzed retrospectively and they were detected by using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP ). Results The GG genotyping of the TAFI gene G753A polymorphism in the cerebral group was 41. 5%(n=54)and the A allele carriers were 58. 5%(n=76),while those in the control group were 44. 9%(n=53)and 55. 1%(n=65)respectively. There were no significant differences in the GG genotyping of TAFI gene G753A polymorphism and the A allele carriers between the cerebral infarction group and the control group (χ2 =0. 288,P=0. 592). In the cerebral infarction group,the CC genotyping of C1040T polymorphism was 50. 0%(n=65)and T allele carriers were 50. 0%(n=65),while those in the control group were 51. 7%(n=61)and 48. 3%(n=57)respectively. There were no significant differences in the GG genotyping of C1040T polymorphism and the T allele carriers between the two groups (χ2 =0.071,P =0.790 ). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that G753A and C1040T single nucleotide polymorphisms (GA or AA genotype)in the TAFI gene encoding region were not the independent risk factors for cerebral infarction. Conclusion There are no significant differences in the correlation between the G753A and C1040T polymorphisms in the TAFI gene encoding region and cerebral infarction. They are not the independent risk factors for the onset of cerebral infarction.

Blue space is an important place for physical activity and provides physical and mental health benefits to residents. However, little is known about the mechanism of association between blue space and physical activity. Based on China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Web of Science Core Collection, the Chinese and English literature on the correlation between blue space and physical activity were selected and analyzed. The research field has the following characteristics so far: there are few studies on blue space in inland cities, developing countries, and vulnerable populations, and it is an emerging research field. Most included studies demonstrate positive effects of blue space exposure on physical activity, while studies conducted in different populations demonstrate population differences. The combination of multi-source data and multidisciplinary approaches should be an important foundation of this research field. Based on this, a research framework was proposed in this paper to analyze the complex association between them from a perspective of multi-dimensional characteristics, and blue physical activity was modeled as ecosystem services to explore the relationship between blue space and physical activity from a perspective of ecosystem service supply-demand and flow.
