Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between TCM pattern and Hp infection and apoptosis of stomach mucosa in chronic gastritis, to discover the substance of TCM Pattern of chronic gasuitis on genetic molecular level and to establish syndrome differentiation system of chronic superficial gastritis on molecular level Methods: Get gastric mucosa tissue by electronic gastroscope. Hp infection, expression of Fas and bel-2 of 41 cases of incoordination between the liver and stomach group (IBLS group) and 50 cases of Dampness-beat in spleen and stomach(DHSS group) of chronic superficial gastritis were investigated by immunohistocbemistry examination, with 10 healthy persons as control group. Muti-factor non-condition logistic regression analysis was adopted to analyze the data. Results: The positive rate of HP was of 22%, 52% and 10% respectively in the IBLS group, the DHSS group and the control group. The positive rate of HP in the DHSS group was significant higher than in the IBLS and control group, showing there is a significant correlation between DHSS patern and HP infection. The expression rate of bcl-2 antigen was 24.2%, 76.0% and 30.0% respectively in the IBLS, DHSS and control group. The expression rate of bcl-2 antigen in the DHSS group was significant higher than in and the IBLS and control group(P＜0.01), showing there was significant correlation between DHSS pattern and expression rate of bcl-2 antigen(P＜0.01). The expression rate of Fas antigen was 70.7% and 46% respectively in the IBLS and DHSS group, the expression rate of Fas antigen in the IBLS group was significant higher than in DHSS group(P＜0.01), showing there was a significant correlation between IBLS pattern and expression rate of Fas antigen(P＜0.01).Conclusion: The result suggested that there was a certain relationship between HP infection and TCM pattern, the positive rates of HP was higher in DHSS pattern compared with the IBLS group. There was a certain relationship between the expression of bcl-2 and Fas in DHSS pattern, IBLS pattern may probably promoted apoptosis in gastritis, whereas HP infection performed as a main role in apoptosis in DHSS pattern. Bcl-2, liP and Fas might contribute to syndrome differentiation of chronic gastritis.

Non-coding RNAs ( ncRNA ), including ribosomal RNA( rRNA), transfer RNA( tRNA), MicroRNA ( miRNA), long noncoding RNA(lncRNA) and small nucleolar RNA(snoR-NA), are a class of RNA that have multiple functions and are not translated to proteins. MicroRNA and lncRNA are involved in the injury, remodeling and aging of blood vessels, and it is necessary to understand the regulatory roles of MicroRNA and lncRNA in these processes. It is reported that MicroRNA and lncRNA are not only participated in the regulation of oxidative response, inflammation, cell proliferation and migration, and phenotype transition, they are also involved in the regulation of gene expression by conducting different mechanisms, including transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional modification and chromatin remodeling. These aspects of regulation by MicroRNA and lncRNA are related to cardiovascular diseases, such as ath-erosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, pul-monary hypertension and diabetes, and thus provide a new way for genetic diagnosis and therapy of cardiovascular diseases.

Objective This study is aimed to evaluate the association between the ABCG2 gene rs2231142 variant and gout using meta-analysis. Methods Related studies were identified by searching extensively in Chinese and foreign language databases such as Pubmed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CBMdisc databases and so on. The quality of included studies was assessed by using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). The odds ratio (OR) was calculated using a random-effects or fixed-effects model. A Q statistic was used to evaluate the heterogeneity, and Eggerˊs test and funnel plot were used to assess publication bias. Sub-group analyses on ethnicities and sex were also performed. Results A total of 10 studies, including 3 478 gout patients and 10,089 controls from 6 countries or regions, were included and identified for the current metaan-alysis. It was found that the A allele or AA genotype of the ABCG2 rs2231142 polymorphism had an increased risk for gout in the general population [A allele: OR=2.03, 95%CI (1.77, 2.34), P<0.01 and AA genotype: OR=3.01, 95%CI (2.34, 3.88), P<0.01, respectively]. Similar results were found in sub-group analyses of different gender and races. Conclusion Existing evidence indicate that rs2231142 polymorphism (the A allele and AA genotype) is associated with increased risk of gout.

When senescence induction is based on DNA damage, senescent cells display a unique phenotype, which has been termed “senescence-associated secretory phenotype”( SASP ) . SASP, including proinflammatory cytokines, growth factors, chemokines, matrix remodeling enzymes and other cytokines, may be an important driver of chronic inflammation and therefore may be part of a vicious cycle of inflammation, DNA damage and senescence. Senescence-associated secretory products released by such cells can affect the neighboring cells and further exacer-bate their regenerative capacity. SASP is associated with many chronic age-related diseases.

Aim To observe the production of anti-idiotypic antibodies directed against AK auto Ab in the rabbit sera after long-term, high dose allogenic AK auto Ab injection. Methods Allogenic AK auto Ab (5mg/kg)was injected intramuscularly to rabbit once every other day for 90 days. Anti-idiotypic antibodies in rabbit sera were detected by ELISA. Results Rabbits injected with AK auto Ab generated anti-idiotypic antibodies that could react to F(ab′ )2 of AK auto Ab. The titers of anti-idiotypic antibodies reached the highest levels at 4 weeks after the administration of AK auto Ab and then gradually decreased. Conclusion Rabbits could be induced to form immune tolerance when high-does allogenic AK auto Ab is administrated for long-term.

Objective:To detect the expression levels of laboratory of genetics and physiology 2 (LGP2), retinoic acid inducible gene I (RIG-I) and melanoma differentiation associated gene 5 (MDA5) in children with hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), and to explore their possible clinical significance in HFMD.Methods:Fifty children with HFMD, who visited Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiao Tong University, Xi ′an Children′s Hospital and Xi ′an Central Hospital from May 2020 to May 2021, were selected as the research subjects, and 20 children with physical examination at the same age during the same period were selected as the control group.Children with HFMD were divided into enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) type and coxsackievirus A6 (CV-A6) type according to the results of pathogen detection, and then divided into mild group and severe group according to the severity of the disease.The relative mRNA expression levels of LGP2, RIG-I and MDA5 in each group, and the correlation among the three proteins were compared and analyzed.Results:Among 50 cases of HFMD, 26 cases were EV-A71 type (16 cases were mild and 10 cases were severe) and 24 cases were CV-A6 type (17 cases were mild and 7 cases were severe). There was no significant difference in age and sex between HFMD group and control group ( P>0.05). The relative expression levels of LGP2 mRNA in EV-A71 and CV-A6 HFMD cases were 2.37(1.78, 3.25)% and 1.88 (1.35, 3.13)%, lower than that in control group [2.97(2.61, 3.55)%]. Only the difference between CV-A6 HFMD children and control group was statistically significant ( Z=-2.310, P=0.021). The relative expression levels of RIG-I mRNA in EV-A71 and CV-A6 HFMD cases were 9.95 (7.79, 14.62)% and 9.78(7.04, 15.83)%, lower than that in control group [18.47(13.00, 21.07)%]. The differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05). The relative expression levels of MDA5 mRNA in EV-A71 and CV-A6 HFMD cases were 4.41(2.82, 5.99)% and 3.98 (2.18, 7.41)%, lower than that in control group [5.10(3.52, 7.71)%], but the differences were not statistically significant.There were no significant differences in the relative expression levels of the three indicators between the mild and severe groups of children with EV-A71 or CV-A6 HFMD.The expression levels of LGP2, RIG-I and MDA5 mRNA were highly correlated( P<0.001). Conclusion:The relative expression levels of LGP2, RIG-I and MDA5 mRNA in children with HFMD are decreased in different degrees than those in normal children.And there is a correlation among them.
