Objective; To study estrogen receptor gene Xbal and Pvu Ⅱ polymorphisms in patients with aggressive periodontitis (AgP). Methods; Xbal and Pvu Ⅱ DNA was extracted by Chelex-100 and amplified by PCR from buccal swabs of 48 cases of AgP patients and 60 normal controls. The PCR products were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction linked fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. Results: There were significant differences of the distribution of Xba I genotype between AgP group and control group, female AgP group and female control group, male AgP group and male control group(P<0.05). There was no difference of Pvu D genotype distribution between patient group and control group (P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic Regression Analysis showed that male group was less susceptible to AgP than female group(OR =0. 352), the older was less susceptible to AgP than the younger(OR =0.950), and the xxXx genotype was less susceptible to AgP than XX genotype [OR(Xx) =0.224, OR(xx) = 0.678). Conclusion: Specific relationship is found between the susceptibility of AgP and the ER gene-Xbal polymorphism. People with XX genotype is more susceptive to AgP than xx, Xx genotypes.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of changes of serum amylase, CRP and SAA in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Methods The levels of serum and urine amylase, CRP and SAA in patients of mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) at 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and the seventh day after the onset of pancreatitis were measured. Results The levels of serum, urine amylase, CRP and SAA in SAP patients at 24h were (904.5±402.2)U/L, (2280.3±1207.3)U/L, (155.6±36.2) mg/L, (521.9±109.4)mg/L, respectively, and significantly higher than those of MAP patients (P<0.05 or P<0.001). The peak value of serum amylase appeared at 24h, however, the peak value of urine amylase, CRP and SAA appeared at 48 h, and the corresponding values were (2173.5±1110.6) U/L, (185.3±41.4) mg/L and (717.5±144.2)mg/L, respectively. The levels of serum and urine amylase significantly decreases in MAP and SAP patients at the seventh day (P<0.05). The levels of serum CRP and SAA significantly decreased in MAP patients at the seventh day (P<0.05), however, the levels of serum CRP and SAA did not significantly decrease in SAP patients at the seventh day (P>0.05). Serum levels of CRP and SAA were related to the severity of acute pancreatitis. Meanwhile CRP showed a positive correlation with SAA (r = 0.761, P<0.05). Conclusions The change of serum levels of amylase, CRP and SAA can help early diagnose acute pancreatitis; CRP and SAA may predict the development of SAP at early stage.

Objective To observe the change of intima/media thickness ratio and expression of inflammatory factors in renal small artery of diabetic rats, and to explore the correlations of intim/media ratio with inflammatory factors and vascular lesions of diabetic nephropathy (DN) rats. Methods Seventy healthy SD rats were randomly divided into diabetic nephropathy group (DN, n=40) and normal control group (N, n=30). DN rat model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). Thirty-five DN rats were successfully established. N group received same dose of citrate buffer. Rats were sacrificed after 4, 12, 24 weeks respectively.The intima/media thickness ratio in renal small artery was detected by immunofluorescence. The monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) protein and mRNA expression of renal small artery were detected by immunohistochemistry and in-situ hybridization at each time point. Results Blood glucose and urine protein excretion (24 h) at different time points in DN group were significantly higher than those of N group (P<0.05). From the 12th week, Scr, BUN, serum phosphorus were significantly higher than those of N group (P<0.05). At the 4th week, renal small artery had the expression of MCP-1 protein and mRNA. The expression increased gradually with time, reached the highest at the 24th week, and was significantly higher than that of N group at each time point (P<0.05). Immunofluorescence results showed that as compared to N group, in the first 4 weeks, intima/media thickness ratio in DN group was not different, at the 12th week the ratio was higher but without significant difference, at the 24th week the ratio was significantly higher (P<0.05). Small artery intima/media thickness ratio of DN group was positively correlated with MCP-1, cholesterol, triglyceride, serum phosphate (r=0.742, P<0.01; r=0.740, P<0.01; r=0.829, P<0.01; r=0.580, P<0.01). Conclusions The arterioles intima/media thickness ratio of early DN is significantly correlated with MCP-1, lipids and phosphorus. MCP-1 may be involved in the DN vascular disease.
