Objectives To investigate the relationship of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and methioninesynthase reductase (MTRR) with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA). Methods Case control study was used to select 244 patients with URSA (miscarriage group) and 116 normal women (control group) who were admitted to Tianjin Medical University General Hospital and Tianjin Women’s and Children’s Health Center from January 2013 to March 2015. The oral mucosal epithelial cells were extracted using fluorescence quantitative PCR to detect MTHFR gene C677T, A1298C and MTRR gene loci of A66G single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). The relationship between folate metabolism related gene polymorphisms of MTHFR and MTRR and URSA was analysed. Results The frequency of C677T genotype MTHFR was significantly higher in URSA group than that in the control group, and the frequency of CT genotype was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the frequencies of A1298C MTRR and A66G MTHFR between the two groups. The activity of MTHFR, red cell folate and plasma folate levels were significantly lower in URSA group than those of control group. Homocysteine levels were significantly higher in URSA group than those of control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in serum folic acid, red cell folate, homocysteine cysteine levels between patients <35 years old and ≥ 35 years old in URSA group. Conclusion C677TMTHFR gene polymorphism is associated with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of Yiqi Huazhi recipe Quqian granules on rat renal tubular cell apoptosis induced by lead poisoning. Methods:Totally 60 Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups, 12 in the control group and the others in the model group. Chronic lead poisoning model was made by drinking 0. 02% lead acetate water for 60 days. Then the lead poisoning rats were randomly divided into four groups, high-dose Quqian granules group (3. 0 g·kg-1·d-1), low-dose Quqian granules group (0. 6 g·kg-1 ·d-1 ) , positive control group ( calcium disodium edentate plus procaine, im, 50 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 ) and model group. Seven treatment courses were carried out in the first three groups with every 4-d as one course and 4-d withdrawal period between every two courses. After 60 days, the change of lead in blood and kidney was observed by atomic absorption spectrometry,the apoptosis of kidney tissues was studied by TUNEL, the expression of Bcl-2 protein was detected by immunohistochemical methods and the expression of p53 was studied by Western Blotting. Results:Compared with the control group, the body weight, hemoglobin and the expression of Bcl-2 in the model group were decreased significantly(P<0.01)those in, and Pb in blood(0.990 ±0.443)μg·ml-1, Pb in kidney(51.33 ± 5. 16)μg·ml-1 , the apoptosis of tubular epithelial cell(4. 148 ± 0. 414) and the expression of p53 protein (1. 868 ± 0. 139) were significantly higher (P<0. 05). Compared with the those in model group, the body weight, hemoglobin and Bcl-2 in high-dose group were increased significantly(P<0.01), and the blood lead level (0.082 ±0.015)μg·ml-1, the kidney lead level (6.38 ±0.97)μg ·ml-1 , the apoptosis of tubular epithelial cell(1. 412 ± 0. 109) and p53 protein expression(1. 164 ± 0. 172) were significantly lower (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Lead may induce high expression of p53,low expression of Bcl-2 and promote the apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells. It is proven that Yiqi Huazhi recipe Quqian granules can inhibit the expression increase of p53 and the expression de-crease of Bcl-2 resulting in the reduction of the renal tubular apoptosis to allivate the renal injury caused by lead.
