Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2009;32(34):1-5
Objective To determine the frequency of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP)-TaqIB polymorphism and investigate its relationship with plasma lipid levels and coronary hert disease(CHD). Methods Two hundred and thirty-eight patients with CHD (CHD group) and 203 age-matched controls( control group) were selected, the CETp-TaqIB mutation was detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism of the CETP gene. Results In the total subjects, the frequency of B1 and B2 alleles were 59.4%(262/441 ) and 40.6%( 179/441 ) respectively. Compared with that in control group, the frequency of CETP genotype BIBI was higher in CHD group [39.9%(95/238) vs 29.6% ( 60/203 ), P<0.05], and the frequency of B1B2 was lower in CHD group [44.1%(105/238) vs 53.7%(109/203), P< 0.05]. Compared with that in the B2 homozygotes, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein (apo)A I level were significantly lower in the B1 homozygotes [(1.19±0.36) mmol/L vs (1.38±0.39) retool/L,( 1.17±0.33 ) g/L vs ( 1.30±0.31 ) g/L, P<0.05]. The B 1 homozygotes was associated with higher degree of cononary stenosis than the B2 carriers (P<0.05 ). There was no significant association between CETP-TaqIB genotype and the risk of CHD (P=0.147). Conclusions CETP-TaqIB polymorphism affects the concentrations of lipaproteins. There are significant associations between the B1 homozygotes and lowerHDL-C and apo A I levels. The B1 allele is not an independent risk factor for CHD.

Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 1985;0(06):-
In this study, biological activities of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) extracted from Bacteroides fraglis NCTC 9343 were measured in animals. The results showed that LPS expressed typical endotoxicities, e.g. pyrogenicity in rabbits, lethality in mice and chick embryoes, ability to induce local Shwartzman reaction and coagulability for limulus emoebcyte lysate. But its biological activities were lower compared with that of Enterobacteriaceae. It is suggested that the weaker biological activities are related to the unusual chemical structure of the LPS.

BACKGROUND:The tumor tissue engineering can build an integrated culture model to ful y simulate the in vivo microenvironment of tumor growth, which can be used to study tumor developmental dynamics and related treatment strategies.
OBJECTIVE:To review the three-dimensional culture of tumor cells using tumor engineering technology.
METHODS:PubMed database was retrieved for articles related to tumor engineering, three-dimensional culture of tumor cells, biological scaffold materials and tumor microenvironment published from January 1992 to March 2013.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Three-dimensional culture, because of its reproducible tissue and cellgrowth in vivo, has become an important platform for study of tumor resistance, invasiveness and tumor microenvironment. The three-dimensional culture has showed a trend to gradual y replace the flat culture technique in many fields, and provides a research platform which is very close to in vivo environment. In recent years, with the development of tumor engineering, a variety of new polymer materials have been used in the three-dimensional culture of tumor cells. Three-dimensional culture technology is becoming a hotspot in the field of tumor biology, in which, using a variety of methods and materials, the cells show a growth in the spatial manner to form a biological support or matrix similar to in vivo growth environment. Biomaterials have become the soil on which seed cells can grow wel , and plays an alternative to the extracellular matrix or the matrix of tissues and organs in the tumor engineering. Therefore, the three-dimensional cellculture has been widely used in cancer research, which has become a powerful tool to tumor drug resistance, angiogenesis, cel-cellinteraction, signal transduction, stem cells and other research.

Objective To investigate the expression of microRNA (miRNA) in placenta tissue, explore the function of miRNA in pathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods Placenta tissue from pregnant women with GDM and normal controls were selected from January 2013 to January 2014. Expression of miRNAs were detected by sequencing technique and quantity real time PCR(qRT-PCR). Target genes of miRNA were analyzed by KEGG. Results 52 insulin signaling pathway related miRNAs including 47 up-regulated and 5 down-regulated were differentially expressed in GDM compared with normal control. Expression of placental hsa-miR-548am-5p and hsa-miR-95-5p were significantly increased , but hsa-miR-1246 was significantly lower (P <0.05) in GDM group than normal control; all the results were consistent with sequencing results. Key points of insulin signaling pathway could regulate expression of targets such as PI3K. Conclusion miRNA expression in GDM placenta was abnormal.A variety of exp ressions of miRNAs were involved in the pathogenesis of GDM by regulating insulin signaling pathway.

Objective To seek the evidence-based medicine (EBM) evidences of curative effects of intravitreous injection with triamcinolone acetonide (TA) for macular edema. Methods All articles of intravitreous injection TA for macular edema published in English or Chinese were picked up from databases of MEDLINE and CNKI and then evaluated according to EBM standard. The data in accord with research standard were selected by using excluding and including criteria, and classified according to the appraisal standard of clinical therapeutic documents. Results In the selected papers, none in gradeⅠevidence; 1 in gradeⅡevidence; 7 in grade Ⅲ evidence; 24 in grade Ⅳ evidence; and 19 in gradeⅤevidence. Forty-two papers reported that intravitreous injection with TA had significant effect for macular edema within 3 months, and the improvement of visual acuity was recorded in these papers. Regression of macular edema was recorded in 23 papers. Among 20 papers, side-effect was found in 93 eyes (31.41%) and the serious side-effect in 4 eyes (1.35%). Conclusions Intravitreous injection with TA has some curative effects for macular edema in short term, but the quality of current study has not been encouraging. There are no grade I document and lack of the study of validity in long term and essentiality and validity of retreatment. The special attention should be payed on the increasing persistency of efficacy and preventing the serious side-effects in the future investigation.
