BACKGROUND: Linxian County of China is one of the areas with the highest incidence of esophageal cancer and gastric cardia cancer in the world, and nutrition-deficiency is widely existing in local people. In recent years, many researches around the world revealed that the cause of Parkinson disease (PD) is related to factors of gene, age, environment, diet, nutrition and smoking. More and more studies confirmed that primary hypertension may be in relation to vascular Parkinsonism (VP) and long-term hypertension was apt to VP.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between hypertension and clinical probable Parkinson disease (PPD) in nutrition-deficient population of Linxian County and provide a theoretical basis for early prevention and treatment of PD.DESIGN: Cross-sectional study.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 4 335 subjects aged over 55 years were selected. These subjects have taken part in the nutritional intervention study of Linxian County and first entered in the cohort study in 1985. They were enrolled in the nutritional intervention study in Linxian County in 1985.METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted. ①Case screening: PD questionnaire (used in American Gebai County) combined with general neurological examination were adopted. ②The diagnosis of PD: Clinical diagnostic criteria of UK Parkinson Disease Society Brain Bank were taken as the criteria for screening PD. Further evaluations were undertaken for clinical PPD and clinical possible PD on subjects who had PD symptoms.The diagnostic criteria of clinical PPD: Subjects were diagnosed as having clinical PPD if they presented any two of the following two cardinal features (resting tremor, hypermyotonia, bradykinesia and impairment of postural reflexes) or presented any one of the following features (resting tremor, hypermyotonia and bradykinesia). Diagnostic criteria of clinical possible PD: Subjects were diagnosed as having clinical possible PD when presented any one of the following four cardinal features (resting tremor, hypermyotonia, bradykinesia, and impairment of postural reflexes).③Definition of hypertension: Hypertension was defined as the systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 140 mm Hg or the diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 90 mm Hg. Data were processed with linear trend test and nonconditional logistic regression.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Status of final diagnoses on patients and relationship between hypertension and clinical PPD.RESULTS: A total of 4 335 subjects including 2 008 males (46.32%)and 2 327 females (53.68%) participated in the screening of PD.①Results of final diagnosis on patients: Among all the 4 459 survival participants,46 subjects were diagnosed as having PD, 118 as having clinical PPD and 78 as having clinical possible PD. After excluding patients with PD or clinical possible PD, only 118 patients were diagnosed as having clinical PPD. These patients and 4 217 normal controls were analyzed and a total of 2 035 patients had hypertension. ②There were statistical correlation between hypertension and clinical PPD, RR was 1.648 (1.147-2.638), which was 1.668 (1.145-2.432) after being adjusted by possible confounding factors including age, gender, smoking, drinking and so on, the association mentioned above still existed (χ2=7.463,P=0.006). Analysis of gender showed statistically significant differences between female patients with hypertension and clinical PPD(χ2=9.669 P=0.002), and RR before adjust ment was 2.347 (1.347-4.091), which was 2.346 (1.327-4.150) after being adjusted and correlation still existed. While there were no statistical corre lations between male patients with hypertension and clinical PPD (χ2 =0.697 ,P=0.404)but there was also an ascending trend in RR value. ③ With the blood pressure increasing, the RR value correspondingly in creased with the linear trend test (χ2=11.325 ,P=0.003). And there was sta tistical significance in raw and adjusted RR value of hypertension with the BP ≥ 140/90 mm Hg. Respective statistics of SBP and DBP showed a dose-response relationship between SBP and clinical PPD; When the SBP ≥ 140 mm Hg, there were statistical significances in values of raw RR or adjusted RR of hypertension (χ2=8.007 ,P=0.018). While there were no sta tistical significances in RR values before and after adjustment of DBP (χ2 =2.569,P=0.227). CONCLUSION: Hypertension is one of the risk factors of clinical PPD in female residents older than 55 and the incidence of getting clinical PPD is increased with the heightening of BP.

Objective To investigate the influence of m4-1BBL on the anti-tumor effects induced by truncated human prostate specific membrane antigen (tPSMA) gene in mice. Methods A eukaryotic expression plasmid encoding tPSMA and m4-1BBL (pDC316-tPSMA-IRES-m4-1BBL), pDC316-tPSMA and pDC316 were constructed. C57BL/6 mice were vaccinated in the quadriceps femoris, respectively. The CTL activity of spleen cells from the immunized mice against prostate cancer RM-1-tPSMA was detected by CCK-8 kit in vitro. The tumor growth was then observed. Results The target cell specific cytotoxicity rate induced by pDC316-tPSMA-IRES-m4-1BBL was 42.6%, compared to 24.8% in the pDC316-tPSMA group and 10.8% in the pDC316 group. The difference was significant (P<0.05). The volume of tumor in the pDC316 group was 2657.4mm3 7 d after vaccination, compared to 1334.5 mm3 in the pDC316-tPSMA group, 9 d after vaccination. In the pDC316-tPSMA-IRES-m4-1BBL group, the tumor volume was 445.8 mm3, 12d after vaccination. The difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Gene vaccines co-expressing tPSMA gene and m4-1BBL gene could significantly enhance anti-prostate cancer effects in mice.
