Chinese Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2010;7(10):514-518
Objective: To study the relationship between the renin (REN) gene G10631A, angiotensinogen (AGT) gene T704C, C521T mononucleotide polymorphisms and cerebral infarction. Methods: One hundred eighty patients with cerebral infarction and 130 healthy controls were recruited. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique was used to detect the REN G10631 site, AGT T704 and C521 site genotype and allele. The differences of the genotype and allele frequencies in both groups were compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for cerebral infarction. The haplotype structure of the population was analyzed in order to find cerebral infarction related polymorphism combination in this population. Results: Circled digit oneThe REN 10631 AA genotype frequency (31.7%) and the A allele frequency (49.4% ) in the cerebral infarction group were high-er than 10.0% and 30.3% in the healthy control group (P<0.05). Circled digit twoThe AGT 704 CC genotype frequency (63.3% ) and C allele frequency (79.7% ) in the cerebral infarction group were higher than 34.6% and 61.2% in the healthy control group (P<0.05). Circled digit threeThe AGT 521TT genotype frequency (21.7% ) and T allele frequency (27.8%) in the cerebral infarction group were higher than 6.9% and 11.9% in the healthy control group (P<0.05). Circled digit fourMultivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that REN 10631AA genetype, AGT 704CC genetype, and AGT52ITT genetype could increase the probability of cerebral infarction. The relative risk (OR) of the onset was 2.617, 2.699, and 3.362, respectively (P < 0.05); Circled digit fiveThe distribution frequency of the haplotype 521T-10631A-704C in the cerebral infarction group was higher than that in the healthy control group (P = 0.000). Conclusion: REN gene 10631AA genetype and A allele, ACT 704CC genetype and C allele, and AGT 521TT genetype and T allele may be the susceptible factors of cerebral infarction. Haplotype 521T-10631A-704C may be the genetic risk factors for the onset of cerebral infarction.

Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2003;0(08):-
Diabetic cardiomyopathy ( DC) is an independent complication of diabetes mellitus accompanied with cardiac metabolic imbalances ( increase of fatty acids and reduction of glucose) ,which would impair cardiac function and structure seriously. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors ( PPARs) are ligand-activated transcription factors belonging to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily,and they could transcriptionally regulate energy metabolism and function. PPARs also play an important role in regulating metabolism in DC heart,and directly or indirectly affect cardiac function and structure.

Objective To investigate the effects of desflurane and/or nitric oxide (NO) on the lung injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion ( I/R) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in children with pulmonary hypertension secondary to congenital heart disease (CHD) .Methods Forty children with CHD and pulmonary hypertension (24 male, 16 female) aged 0.6-3.7 yrs weighing 7.1-11.9 kg undergoing cardiac surgery under CPB were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 10 each): group control; group DES; group NO and group DES + NO. The patients were premedicated with oral midazolam 0.5 mg?kg-1. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with fentanyl and vecuronium. Radial artery was cannulated for MAP monitoring and blood sampling. Pulmonary catheter was placed under direct vision after chest was opened. The patients received inhalation of desflurane (1-1.3 MAC) (group DES)/NO (10-20 ppm) (group NO) /DES + NO (group DES + NO) immediately after pulmonary catheterization until the start of CPB. MAP, PAP, peak airway pressure (Ppeak) and compliance of respiratory system (Crs) were recorded at 5 min after induction (T0 ), 5 min before CPB (T1 ), 5 min after start of CPB (T2) and at the end of surgery (T3) . Blood samples were taken at T0 and T3 for determination of methemoglobin (Met-Hb), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), XOD and MDA.Results The four groups were comparable with respect to age, M/F ratio, body weight, duration of CPB and type of operation performed. MAP was significantly decreased after inhalation of desflurane alone or desflurane + NO before CPB ( at T1) as compared to the baseline value at T0; while PAP was significantly decreased after inhalation of NO alone or NO+ desflurane before CPB (at T1) as compared to the baseline value. Ppeak was significantly lower while Crs was significantly higher at end of surgery (T3) in group NO and NO + desflurane than in control group. Blood sICAM-1 and MDA concentrations and XOD activity were significantly lower at the end of surgery (T3 ) in group DES, NO and DES + NO than in control group. Met-Hb was significantly increased at the end of surgery (T2) as compared to the baseline (T0) in group NO and DES + NO but was still within normal range. Conclusion Inhalation of desflurane and/or NO can ameliorate the lung injury during CPB in children with pulmonary hypertension secondary to CHD, in addition to inhibit the pulmonary hypertension.

Through analyzing the data of ectopic thyroid glands, to know this kind of congenital lesion deeply. In all the cases, parathyroid gland types were more than aberrant thyroid types; the majority cases were single ectopic thyroid; most of ectopic thyroid were present in the neck and mouth; local mass was the most common symptom; adenoma was often associated with ectopic thyroid and there was a high proportion of combined malignant; most cases could not be correctly diagnosed.

This study was aimed to compare and investigate protective effects of metformin and rosiglitazone on cardiac dysfunction in experimental diabetic cardiomyopathy (DC) model rats. The experimental DC rat model was induced by feeding high calorie diet plus single intraperitoneal injection of small dosage of streptozotocin (STZ). Then, intragastric administration of metformin (140 mg·kg-1) or rosiglitazone(2 mg·kg-1) was given to DC rats for consecutive 6 weeks. Parameters of general signs, eating amount, blood sugar, blood lipids, heart function, heart structure and lipometabolism of myocardial tissues were measured. The results showed that both metformin and rosiglitazone can obviously improve the myocardial injury of DC model rats and reduce the CK value (P < 0.01). Metformin can obviously increase the cardiac output of DC model rats (P < 0.01). Rosiglitazone can improve the maximum rate of myocardial contraction and diastole of the model rat's left ventricle (P < 0.05). Both metformin and rosiglitazone can decrease interventricular septal thickness (IST) value (P < 0.01). Metformin can obviously im-prove general signs of DC rats, inhibit body weight loss and reduce water intake (P < 0.05). Metformin can obvi-ously reduce the blood sugar level (FBG, GSP, HbA1c and FMN) of DC rats (P < 0.05, or P < 0.01) as well as the concentration of TG (P < 0.01). Rosiglitazone can reduce the concentration of FBG and HbA1c (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, rosiglitazone can significantly reduce the concentration of TG and LDL as well as obviously increase the myocardial FA-β-oxidase (P < 0.05). It was concluded that both metformin and rosiglitazone can recover the cardiac dysfunction and myocardial injury of DC rats on certain level. Metformin showed more effects on eating amount and body weight improvements of DC rats.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus has been considered as one of the most important foodborne bacterial pathogens.The loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP) that amplifies DNA with high specificity and rapidity under an isothermal condition was applied for rapid detection of this pathogen for the first time.A set of four primers,two outer and two inner primers,was designed specifically to recognize the thermolabile hemolysin gene(tlh) of V.parahaemolyticus.The LAMP reaction mix was optimized.The most optimal reaction temperature and time of the LAMP assay for the tlh gene were 60℃ and 60min,respectively.Genomic DNAs from 28 bacterial strains including 14 V.parahaemolyticus strains were amplified using LAMP,and no amplicon was observed in other bacterial strains.The detection limit of this LAMP assay was around 90 fg of V.parahaemolyticus genomic DNA and 24 colonies forming units for pure cultures.In addition,this method was applied to detect artificially contaminated food samples,and the detection limit was 89 cfu/g for non-cultured artificially contaminated food samples.These results suggested that detection of V.parahaemolyticus by LAMP is an effective and low-cost procedure with high specificity and sensitivity that requires no specialized equipment.This assay is expected to become a valuable tool for rapid detection and identification of V.parahaemolyticus.
