Objective To investigate the relationship between uncoupling protein 2 (UCP-2) gene promoter -866 G/A polymorphism and Chinese diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods A total of 182 patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus were selected and divided into DN group (90 cases with DN ) and NCD group (92 cases without DN ). Genomic DNA was detected, and UCP-2 genotype and allele gene frequency was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction-restrictive fragment length polymorphism, then compared.Results The genotype frequency of UCP-2 gene promoter-866 G/A polymorphism was distributed in DN group[GG 14.44%( 13/90),GA 31.11%(28/90),AA 54.44%(49/90)],and distributed in NCD group[GG 29.35% ( 27/92 ), GA 32.61% ( 30/92 ), AA 38.04% ( 35/92 )], and there was significant difference between two groups ( χ2 = 7.28 , P < 0.05 ). There was also significant difference in allele gene frequency between DN group and NCD group[G 45.65% (84/184) vs. 30.00% (54/180),A 54.35% (100/184) vs. 70.00% (126/180)]( χ2 = 9.47, P < 0.05 ). Conclusion There is correlation between the UCP-2 gene promoter-866 G/A polymorphism and Chinese DN, and the incidence of DN with A/A genotype is increased.

Objective The aim is to establish a new analytical method of relationship between injury and disease in forensic clinical identification of post-traumatic tooth loss.Methods 25 cases of post-traumatic tooth loss were collected.The main factors that affect the judgment of the relationship between injury and disease were selected and weighted.And the method was verified by 18 case from CNKI.Results A total of five indicators were selected and weighted,including the missing mode,the root number of missing teeth,the fracture of alveolar bone,the damage of soft tissue and the degree of periodontal disease.The interval of the score is used to determine the results of relationship between injury and disease.Conclusion The method is accuracy and acceptable,and can be used to evaluate the relationship between injury and disease of post-traumatic tooth loss.

Objective · To compare the efficacy and prognostic factors of HCAG regimen with traditional IA regimen in the treatment of newly diagnosed elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Methods · Forty-one patients with AML (aged 55-71 years) were randomly divided into two groups (Group HCAG and Group IA) between 2014 and 2016 for induction and consolidation therapy. Multivariate analysis was applied to identify prognostic factors for relapse-free survival (RFS). Results · A total of 29 patients (70.7%) achieved complete remission (CR). The estimated 2-year overall survival (OS) was 66.8% in Group HCAG and 75.4% in Group IA (P=0.913). The estimated 2-year RFS was 61.8% in Group HCAG and 49.1% in Group IA (P=0.411). Age remained as the unfavorable prognostic factor, leading to significant differences in OS and RFS. In addition, RFS was influenced by cytogenetic/molecular risk stratification. Conclusion · Although HCAG seemed not to particularly benefit the group, the dose reduction of anthracyclines may be applied in elderly patients with comparable short-time outcome. Furthermore, the introduction of homoharringtonine resulted in an improvement of treatment response for more than 20% compared with CAG regimen.
