ObjectiveTo study specific allergic IgG antibody test and its impact factors.MethodsA total of 1770 Qingdao residents were recruited in this cross-sectional study from January to October 2011.ELISA was used to test specific allergic IgG antibodies.Logistic regression was used for multifactor analysis.Results Of 1770 participants,9 individuals had insufficient data,resulting in a response rate of 99.5％.Identification rate of specific allergic IgG antibody was 60.0％ (1056/1761 ),and the most commonly seen allergic foods were crab (49.4％ ),egg (44.80％ ),ling (38.0％ ),shrimp ( 30.4％ ) and soy ( 22.2％ ).Intolerance to crab,egg,shrimp,creamery,com,and tomato showed gender difference ( x2 =18.978,P＜0.05 ).Serum level of allergic IgG antibody was increased with age [20 - 40 years:( 118.61 ±45.67) U/ml; 41-60 years:(166.57 ±55.82) U/ml; ＞60 years:(183.67 ±49.34) U/ml; x2=13.597,P＜0.01].In logistic regression,difference between individuals with normal body weight and obesity population ( OR =1.897,95％ CI 1.215 - 2.578 ) or between those with or without allergic history ( OR =0.780,95％ CI 0.648 - 0.912) was found.Conclusions Impact factor of food intolerance includes gender,age,constitution and body mass index.Six kinds of food intolerance are more common in women.41 -60 year group shows peak of food intolerance.No exposure to allergic food and antianaphylaxis may reduce the risk of food intolerance.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of 3-n-butylphthalide pretreatment on the delayed neuronal death(DND) and the expreesion of heat shock protein70 (HSP70) in rat hippocampus after ischemia/ reperfusion.

METHODSAll rats were randomly divided into sham group (n = 36), total cerebral ischemia (TCI) group (n = 36), butylphthalide (NBP) group (n = 6), NBP + TCI group( n = 36), quercetin + NBP + TCI group (n = 6), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) + NBP + TCI group (n = 6). The model of total cerebral ischemia/reperfusion was established by blocking vertebral arteries and carotid arteries. In sham group, TCI group and NBP group, the animals were further divided into instantly, 6 h, 12 h, 1 d, 3 d, 5 d groups according to the time interval after sham operation or TCI. Histological changes of the hippocampus were evaluated using thionin staining under light microscope by determining the delayed neuronal death (DND) and the expression of HSP70 was assayed using immunohistochemistry.

RESULTSNBP pretreatment could reduce delayed neuronal death in CA1 of hippocampus induced by TCI-reperfusion injury in rats, and up-regulated the expression of HSP70 in CA1 hippocampus of brain ischemic/reperfusion for 5 days. Quercetin blocked the acquirement of the brain ischemic tolerance induced by NBP preconditioning.

CONCLUSION3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) prevents the neurons from ischemia/reperfusion injury through upregulating the expression of HSP70.

Objective To investigate the role of NF-?B signal pathway in the stress of a rat acute colitis model. Methods Acute colitis were induced by 6% intracolonic acetic acid lavation in rats; the spinal I-?B levels were measured by Western blot at L5-S1 and C2-4 levels; the spinal COX-2 mRNA levels were measured by RT-PCR at the same segments; the expressions of spinal COX-2 were also measured by immunohistochemistry. Results There were obvious regional inflammatory responses after intracolonic acetic acid lavation in rats; the extent of inflammation was gradually aggravated with time.The expressions of spinal I-?B at L5-S1 level significantly increased after 0. 5 h in acute colitis group. Expressions of experimental group were significantly higher than that of sham group at half an hour(P

Objective:To study the characteristic of hearing loss in essential hypertension. Method:Sixty-eight cases (136 ears) of patients with essential hypertension were divided into two groups, i. e. group A, patients without retinal alteriosclerosis (35cases, 70 ears ) and group B, patients with retinal alterioselerosis (33cases, 66 ears ). The control group consisted of 30 cases (60 ears) of the same sex and same age. AH people were measured by pure tone audiometry and distortion product otoacoustic emissions. Result:The pure tone thresholds measured in group B hypertensive patients were significantly higher than in the normal controls (P<0. 05) , whereas pure tone thresholds in group A were not different from those in the control group(P>0. 05). From 1000 to 8 000 Hz , DPOAE amplitudes of hypertensive group A and group B were lower than that in control group(P<0. 01). Only on the frequency points of 4 000 Hz , the detection rate of DPOAE in group B was lower than that in control group (P<0. 05). Conclusion: Hypertension is a risk factor of degeneration of the hearing apparatus. The hearing function of hypertensive patients has probability to be impaired, although they do not feel hearing loss.

Objective To investigate 4 variants single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein(ALOX5AP) in lipoxygenase pathway and in cytochrome P450 pathway as susceptibility genes for stroke in a southeastern Chinese population,and evaluate the associations between susceptibility genes and cerebral infarction,to find whether gene-gene interactions increase the risk of cerebral infarction.Methods By case-control study,two hundred and ninety-two patients with cerebral infarction and 259 healthy control subjects were included.Eight variants in 5 candidate genes were examined for stroke risk,including the SG13S32 (rs9551963),SG13S42 (rs4769060),SG13S89 (rs4769874),and SG13Sl14 (rs10507391) variants of the ALOX5AP gene,the G860A (rs751141) variant of the soluble epoxide hydrolase (EPHX2) gene,the A1075C (rs1057910) variant of the CYP2C9 *2 gene,the C430T (rs1799853) variant of the CYP2C9* 3 gene,and the A6986G (rs776746) variant of the CYP3A5 gene.Gene-gene interactions were explored using generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR)methods.Results There were no statistically significant differences in the frequencies of the genotypes of the 8 candidate genes.The GMDR analysis showed a significant gene-gene interaction between SG13S114 and A6986G,with scores of 10 for cross-validation consistency and 9 for the sign test (P =0.011).These genegene interactions predicted a significantly higher risk of cerebral infarction (adjusted for age,hypertension,and diabetes mellitus;OR =1.804,95％ CI 1.180-2.759,P =0.006).Conclusions A two-loci gene interaction confers significantly higher risk for cerebral infarction.The combinational analysis used in this study may be helpful in the elucidation of genetic risk factors for common and complex diseases.

Objective To investigate the expression of CD147 and its significance in human cervical carcinoma. Methods Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining were used to detect CD147 expression in cervical cancer or normal cervix uteri tissues. Results CD147 protein was expressed in all of cervical carcinomas (41/41, 100.0%) and most of normal cervix uteri tissues (11/12, 91.7%). CD147 with different molecular weights were present in cervical tissues. The percentage of CD147-positive cells and the expressional level of CD147 were higher in cervical carcinomas than in normal cervix (P<0.05). Conclusion CD147 might be recognized as a marker of cell proliferation. High expression of CD147 in cervical carcinomas suggests that it might be a potential target for cervical carcinoma therapy.
