Objective To investigate the association of PPAR gamma Pro12Ala polymorphisms with conroy heart disease(CHD). Methods One hundred eighty impatients were recruited in the study. Venous blood samples were collected after 12 h of fasting from all patients. DNA was extracted and Pro2Ala polymorphism in the PPAR gamma 2 genes was genotyped through the PCR-RFLP. The frequency and distribution of Pro2Ala polymorphism in Chinese Han population with CHD were analyzed. Gensini Score based on coronarography were used to grade the coronary. Results There were a total of 135 CHD patients,of which 52 were affected with single coronary lesion,43 with multi-coronary lesion,and 45 were normal. The frequency of P12/P12, A12/P12 in the coronary lesion group were 92.6% (125/135) and 7.4% (10/135) which were similar to that of 93.3% (42/45) and 6.7% (3/45)(P =0. 548). In the single coronary lesion group, the frequencies of P12/P12 and A12/P12 were 94.0% (42/52)and 9.6% (5/52) ,and 90.0% (36/40) and 10.0% (4/40) in the bi-coronary lesion group,97.7% (42/43) and 2.3% (1/43) in the multi-coronary lesion group,with no significant difference among the three groups( P ＞0.05).There were no significant difference on the frequency of P12/P12 and A12/P12 between various subgroups defined according to Gensini score (P = 0. 246). Compared to the frequency in non-obese, the frequency of A12/P12 were significantly higher in the obese ( P = 0.028 ). In PPAR gamma 2 genes B the Exton BstuI enzyme restriction site genes, BMI,waist-hip ratio and total cholesterol in the carriers of P12A genotype were significantly higher than those in the P12P genotype carriers ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusions PPAR gamma Pro12Ala polymorphisms might not be associated with CHD in Chinese Han population. The frequency of A12/P12 in obese is significantly higher than that in non-obese. PPAR gamma Pro12Ala polymorphisms might be associated with adiposity and lipid metabolism.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Jianpi pill in the treatment of leucocytopenia induced by anti -thyroid drug.Methods According to the digital table,195 Graves hyperthyroidism patients with leucocytopenia induced by anti -thyroid drug were randomly divided into the observation group(100 cases)and the control group(95 cases).The observation group was given Jianpi pill treatment,while the control group adopted the combination therapy of batilol tablets,leucogen tablets,vitamin B4 tablets.The facial color,whether or not limb weak-ness,whether or not palpitations after strenuous exercise in the two groups were observed.The number of white blood cells and the number of neutrophils in the two groups were observed.3 months later,the curative effect of the two groups was determined according to the degree of cure.Results The total effective rates of the control group and the observation group were 52.63% and 85.00% respectively,the difference was statistically significant between the two groups(χ2 =23.96,P <0.01 ).The disappear infection rates of the control group and the observation group were 25.00% and 69.05% respectively,the difference was statistically significant between the two groups (χ2 =15.93, P <0.01 ).The total effective rates of mild,moderate,severe leucocytopenia were 95.56%,87.50%,46.67%respectively,the difference was statistically significant between mild and severe leucocytopenia (χ2 =16.00,P <0.01),and the difference was statistically significant between moderate and severe leucocytopenia(χ2 =7.94,P <0.01).The excellence rates of mild,moderate,severe leucocytopenia were 48.89%,40.00% and 48.89% respec-tively,the difference was statistically significant between mild and severe leucocytopenia(χ2 =5.92,P <0.01),and the difference was not statistically significant between moderate and severe leucocytopenia(χ2 =2.41,P >0.05).The incidence rates of dry mouth,hyperactive bowel sounds and liver damage,constipation and diarrhea in the control group were 4.21%,2.10% and 1.05% respectively,and the incidence rates of dry mouth,hyperactive bowel sounds and liver damage in the observation group were 3.00% and 1.00% respectively,there was no significant difference in adverse reactions between the two groups(P >0.05).Conclusion The curative effect of Jianpi pill in the treatment of Graves hyperthyroidism patients with leucocytopenia induced by anti -thyroid drug is sure,and it is superior to the combination therapy of batilol tablets,leucogen tablets,vitamin B4 tablets.

Objective:To investigate influences of two different HLA-B antigens expressed on K562 cells on receptors expression of NK cells from peripheral blood lymphocytes.Methods:Studied the alteration of the percentage of CD16+CD56+ cells and the percentage of KIR3DL1+ cells before and after PBMC interaction with K562 cells for 24 hours,and also compared the percentage of CD16+CD56+ cells and the percentage of KIR3DL1+ cells after PBMC interaction with two different kind of K562 cells transfected with HLA-B39 and HLA-B51 respectively.Results:After PBMCs were incubated with K562 cells for 24 hours,the percentage of CD16+CD56+ cells and the percentage of KIR3DL1+ cells were both increased.However,after PBMCs were incubated with K562-HLA-B51 cells for 24 hours,the percentage of KIR3DL1+ cells and the percentage of CD16+CD56+ cells were both decreased in comparison with that interaction with K562-HLA-B39 cells.Conclusion:CD16 up-regulation was associated with an up-regulation of inhibitory receptors(KIR3DL1).The interaction between HLA-Bw4 and KIR3DL1 would down-regulate the expression of KIR3DL1.In addition,KIR3DL1 down-regulation was associated with down-regulation of activating receptors(CD16).

Objective To investigate the association of interleukin-6 (IL-6) with depression using meta analysis. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted to examine depression and interleukin-6 in Chinese patients us-ing“depression”and“interleukin-6”in Databases including PubMed, CBM, VIP, CNKI and WanFang Data. A me-ta-analysis was performed to analyze correlation between depression and interleukin-6 using RevMan 5.2.8 software. Results A total of 9 studies were recruited, involving 432 depression patients and 277 healthy controls. The results of meta-analysis showed that concentration of IL-6 was higher in depression patients than in healthy controls(SMD=1.48, 95%CI:0.78~2.18,P<0.05). Subgroup analysis in the first-episode subgroup and the non first-episode subgroup showed that concentration of interleukin-6 was higher in depression patients than that in controls [the first-episode subgroup (SMD=1.94,95%CI:0.07~3.81,P<0.05), the non first-episode subgroup (SMD=1.26,95%CI:0.60~1.93,P<0.05)]. Conclusion There is a good correlation between depression and the serum IL-6 concentration. Due to the small number of studies and heterogeneity in different studies, the present meta-analysis has not yet confirmed the quantitative correla-tion between IL-6 and depression.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of AngⅡ on collagen in hepatic stellate cell. Methods HSCs were isolated and cultured, 3H-pro incorporation method was used to evaluate the effects of different doses of AngⅡ on the proline syntheses. RT-PCR assay were used to assess changes in mRNA expression levels of type Ⅰ and Ⅲ procollagen. PDGFR-β mRNA and protein were determined by in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry. Results 10-8~ 10-5 mol/L AngⅡ could significantly increase the 3H-pro incorporation rate of HSC in a dose-dependent style, 10-6 mol/L AngⅡis the most effective dose. The cultured HSC showed a little expression of type Ⅰ and Ⅲ procollagen mRNAs, while 10-6 mol/L AngⅡwas able to enhance the expression for type Ⅰ and Ⅲ procollagen mRNAs significantly(P < 0.01). AngⅡalso could enhance both mRNA and protein expression of PDGFR-β on HSC(P < 0.01). Conclusion These results suggest that AngⅡ could promote HSC collagen synthesis by enhancing the expressions of PDGFR-β.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of adult craniofacial structures on obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). METHOD: This study compared the measurements of the height, body weight,neck circumference, the mallampati oropharyngeal score grading, thyromental distance, thyromental angle, lobule-mental distance, mental-lower lip distance of 50 patients with OSAHS with those of 50 controls. RESULT: Statistical findings showed that OSAHS patients were different from controls in the following ways: (1) higher neck circumference; (2) larger thyromental angle; (3) higher Mallampati scores; (4) higher body mass index; (5) shorter mental-lower lip distance. CONCLUSION A crowded posterior oropharynx and a steep thyromental plane are associated with OSAHS. The adult craniofacial structures of bony and soft tissue determine the dimension of upper airway during sleep andpaly an important role in the development of OSAHS.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between iodine nutrition level and thyroid disease.Methods:Totally 299 patients with thyroid disease who were treated at Shandong Provincial Institute for Endemic Disease Prevention and Control from 2016 to 2018 were selected as case group which was further divided into Graves' disease group (GD group, 137 patients), chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis group (HT group, 90 patients) and thyroid nodule group (72 patients). At the same time, 75 healthy people with no history of thyroid disease, normal thyroid color ultrasound and thyroid function were selected as control group. Morning urine was collected and urinary iodine was detected by arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry. Fasting venous blood was extracted, and serum levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT 3), free thyroxine (FT 4), thyroid globulin antibody (TgAb) and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) were detected by electrochemiluminescence method. Results:The difference of median urinary iodine in the 4 groups was statistically significant ( H = 42.530, P < 0.05). The medians urinary iodine in GD and HT groups (326.79, 341.91 μg/L) were higher than those of thyroid nodule group and control group (235.01, 187.32 μg/L, P < 0.05). The levels of TSH, FT 3 and FT 4 in GD group were compared with those of control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P < 0.05). The positive rates of TgAb and TPOAb in HT group were significantly higher than those in GD, thyroid nodule and control groups, and the positive rates of TgAb and TPOAb in GD group were higher than those in thyroid nodule and control groups ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:GD and HT patients have excessive iodine nutrition, and high iodine intake may lead to the occurrence of these thyroid diseases (GD and HT). Thyroid function test combined with laboratory urinary iodine test can be used to diagnose thyroid diseases simply and quickly.
