Objective To investigate the genetic association of complement factor B (CFB)gene polymorphisms with the susceptibility and prognosis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN).Methods Four hundreds and sixty-three Northern Han Chinese patients with IgAN and two hundreds and ninty-six geographically and ethnic matched healthy volunteers were recruited.Peripheral blood was collected from recruited individuals for DNA extracting.After amplified by plymerase chain reaction (PCR),genotyping of the four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CFB gene,which were rs4151667,rs12614,rs641153 and rs117314762,were performed by sequencing.Differences of allele and genotype frequencies were analyzed between IgAN patients and healthy controls.Moreover,the association between these SNPs and disease clinical manifestation,pathological features and long term renal outcome in IgAN patients were further analyzed.Results The G allele and GG genotype frequencies of rs117314762 in CFB gene were significantly higher in IgAN patients than that in healthy controls.No difference in allele and genotype frequencies of rs4151667,rs12614,rs641153 between IgAN patients and healthy controls was observed.Furthermore,no association was found between these SNPs in CFB gene and clinical manifestation,pathological features and long term renal outcome of IgAN.Conclusion Association between rs117314762 in CFB gene and IgAN susceptibility suggests that there may be functional variants in CFB gene or its linked genetic region,which needs further exploration.

AIM: To investigate whether leukotriene D 4(LTD 4) would stimulates proliferation of cultured human airway smooth muscle (ASMC). METHOD: Human ASMC were isolated and subcultured, varying concentration of LTD 4 were added to the media. Cell counts were obtained, [3H]-thymidine([3H]-TdR) incorporation and inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate (IP 3) accumulation were measured. RESULTS: LTD 4(0.1 nmol?L -1~10 nmol?L -1) increased cell number and also increased incorporation of [3H]-TdR and accumulation of IP 3 in a concentration dependent manner(P

Objective To evaluate the effects of clinical center-based health management on quality of life (QOL) of patients with asthma. Methods A total of 642 patients who had received standard antiasthma treatment over 3 years in our clinical center from September 2005 up to now were randomly assigned to the good compliance group ( group A, n = 326 ) and bad compliance group ( group B, n = 316 ). A questionnaire was used to estimate the awareness about asthma,medical therapy and disease control. Levels of QOL were compared at 6 months and 1 and 3 years after health education. Results In group A,uncontrolled,partly controlled, and completely controlled asthma were found in 21%, 47%, and 32% participants, respectively. Significant difference of QOL was shown between the 2 groups after the intervention ( P < 0. 05 ). At 6 months, forced expiratory volume in one second ( FEV1 ), percentage of predicted FEV1 ( FEV1 % pre) ,and peak expiratory flow rate ( PEF)were significantly improved in group A ( all P <0. 05 ),although acute attack and hospitalization were largely reduced. In comparison with baseline,6 months and 1 year,self-reported QOL, limitation of motion, stimulus avoidance and response, and disease concerns were significantly changed at 3 years. Conclusions Clinic center-based health management could benefit disease control and QOL of patients with asthma.

Objective To compare the dosimetric difference on organ at risk (OAR) in intensitymodulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) in treatment with cervical carcinoma. Methods 36 cases of cervical cancer patients accepted radiotherapy both on IMRT and 3D-CRT in the same time,clinical target volume (CTV) focused on primary tumor and its lymphatic drainage area.Lymphatic drainage area was determined as follows:1.0 cm extension were added to the margin of pelvic vessels,the obturator lymph nodes region was extended by 1.8 cm from the pelvis inner margin.CTV does not include pelvic tissue. Data of dose distribution and irradiation volume of OAR on the basis of distributing on 45 Gy and 50 Gy were analyzed individually. The margins of planning target volume (PTV) was obtained based on CTV margins by which added 1.0 cm extension in inferior and superior directions,0.7 cm were added in all other directions. Results With the comparison of variety on irradiation volume of organs at risk (OAR) by DVH in both groups,underlying the treatment dose 45 Gy,the individual volume of D30,D40 and D45 were all lesser in IMRT plan than that of 3D-CRT plan. Even on the dose 50 Gy at pelvic wall lymph nodes regions,the volume of OAR was lesser than that in 3D-CRT plan.Conclusion In the radiotherapy of cervical cancer,IMRT should have improved protections for tumor surrounding OAR which has domestic superiority in clinical application.

A method was developed for the determination of N-acetyl-S-( N-methylcarbamoyl ) cysteine ( AMCC) in human urine by online solid-phase extraction ( SPE )-high performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC ) . The separation of AMCC from the urine matrix was performed on AmoniPac PA Solid phase Extraction ( SPE ) column with 5 mmol/L KH2 PO4 as the mobile phase by left pump. Then the time was controlled to switch the valve to make only the section of sample containing AMCC transferred into the analytic column-Acclaim PAⅡ C18 . The determination was performed using gradient elution of 0. 1% H3 PO4 (containing 5% acetonitrile) and acetonitrile by right pump. The results showed that AMCC present good linear correlation in the range of 1 . 0-100 mg/L with a correlation coefficient of above 0 . 999 , the quantitation limit of the method was 0. 2 mg/L (with the sample inject volume =10 μL), the recoveries of spiked samples were in the range of 82 . 9%-85 . 9%, and the relative standard deviation ( n=6 ) of retention time and peak area were 0. 2% and 4. 0% respectively. Compared with offline SPE-HPLC, the proposed method was convenient, environmentally friendly, efficient and stable, and feasible for the detection of AMCC in 7 human urine samples.

AIM:To investigate the effect of potassium treatment on coronary arterial impairment induced by high salt intake.METHODS:Sprague-Dawley rats (4-week-old, n=10 in each group) received distilled water (NS), water containing 1.5%NaCl (HS), or 1.5% NaCl and 0.5% KCl (HS+HP) for 16 weeks.Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was determined by tail plethysmography every 2 weeks.After 16 weeks of treatment, vascular remodeling, superox-ide production, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and gp91 expression in the coronary arteries were detected .RESULTS:After 16 weeks of salt loading , the rats in HS group was divided into salt sensitive subgroup and salt resistance subgroup according to the tail-cuff blood pressure .In this experiment , the salt-sensi-tive rats were selected as HS group .In HS group, salt loading significantly increased SBP , serum MDA and gp91 expres-sion, decreased serum NO and eNOS expression in the coronary arteries , and induced the coronary artery remodeling com-pared with NS group .In salt-loaded SD rats , 16-week potassium treatment abrogated the effects induced by salt loading . CONCLUSION:High salt may affect structural and functional changes in coronary arteries by activating oxidative stress . Potassium treatment antagonizes the effect of high salt intake .
