Objective To investigate the association of platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF)-B gene single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) and plasma PDGF-BB level with in-stent restenosis(ISR) in elderly patients.Methods 157 patients who had undergone coronary artery stenting for more than half year were divided into ISR group(n=74) and NISR group(non-ISR,n=83) according to the angiographic diagnosis of in-stent restenosis (ISR).Plasma level of PDGF-BB was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).DNA was isolated from leukocytes.Two SNPs of the PDGF-B gene(rs1800818 and rs1800817) were determined by Taqman Quantitative Real-Time PCR with TaqMan-MGB probe.Results There were no significant differences in genotype frequency of rs1800818 AA,AG,GG between ISR group and NISR group(x2 =4.48,P>0.05).The frequency of rs1800818A allele was much higher in ISR group than in NISR group(x2 =5.33,P<0.05).There were no significant differences in genotype frequency of SNP rs1800817 AA and AC(x2 =0.06,P> 0.05) and allele frequency of SNP rs1800817 A and C(x2 =0.06,P>0.05) between ISR group and NISR group,while genotype CC was not found.The plasma level of PDGF-BB was higher in ISR group than in NISR group [(6.53±3.65) ng/L vs.(5.07±2.45) ng/L,t=2.92,P<0.01].Plasma level of PDGF-BB in patients with rs1800818 AA genotype was significantly higher in ISR group than in NISR group [(9.94 ± 4.60) ng/L vs.(5.90 ± 2.98) ng/L,t =2.69,P<0.05].Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that plasma PDGF-BB level was the risk factor for ISR (OR =1.187,95.0% CI:1.054 1.337,P<0.01).Conclusions High plasma PDGF-BB level is the risk factor for ISR,but PDGF-B gene SNPs rs1800818 and rs1800817 are not associated with the occurrence of ISR.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of Imatinib mesilate (Imatinib) on intimal hyperplasia of rabbit carotid arteries after balloon injury. Methods Thirty adult Newzealand rabbits were randomly divided into three groups:group A, B and C. Their right carotid arteries were injuried then administered with 0, 25 or 50 mg/kg of Imatinib dai?ly for 14 consecutive days when the rabbits were sacrificed. The carotid arteries were harvested and sectioned for HE-stain?ing and immunohistochemisty staining. Real-Time PCR was used to examine transcription levels of PDGF-B and PDGFR-βmRNA. The plasma level of PDGF-BB was assayed by ELISA. Results Arterial intimal hyperplasia and stenosis following balloon injury were seen in three groups. Thickness and area of neointima, ratio of thickness of intima to media, ratio of area of intima to media and mRNA level of PDGF-β are all higher in group A than those in group B than those in group C (P<0.01). By contrast, the mRNA transcription level of PDGFR-β increased significantly in group C than that in group A (1.236±0.356 vs 0.708±0.372;t=2.91;P<0.01). Plasma level of PDGF-BB increased in all three groups after balloon injury than that in the baseline (P<0.01). The transcription level of PDGF-BB is higher in group A than that in group B and in group C (ng/L:23.464±3.542, 19.504±2.454, 16.588±1.207, F=17.322, P<0.05). There was no difference between group B and C. There was positive correlation between mRNA transcription level of PDGF-B and plasma level of PDGF-BB ( r=0.806, P<0.01). Conclusion Vascular injury can cause intimal hyperplasia and increased PDGF-B mRNA transcription. Imatinib mesilate could inhibit the intimal hyperplasia through down regulating PDGF-B mRNA transcription.

Objective To investigated the association between bone morphogenetic proteins-2 (BMP-2)gene mutation and coal-burning skeletal fluorosis of children in Zhijin Guizhou.Methods In 2010,121 cases of children with skeletal fluorosis were diagnosed based on the standard X-ray Diagnosis of Skeletal Fluorosis (WS192-1999) in coal-burning skeletal fluorosis areas in Zhijin Guizhou,and 50 cases of them were selected as skeletal fluorosis group.Thirty healthy children free of skeletal fluorosis,rickets and other bone related diseases excluded by X-ray were selected as a control group in the same area.Using polymcrase chain reaction combined with DNA sequencing technology,all three exons of BMP-2 gene were conducted sequence screening in skeletal fluorosis and the control groups to detect gene mutations.Results ①The T insertion mutation on exon 1 between 401-402 bp:the T insertion mutantion genotype frequencies of skeletal fluorosis group and the control group were 27.7% (13/47)and 7.1% (2/28),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.600,P < 0.05),adjusted OR value of 4.62(1.94-10.90).②)The 894 bp T→G mutation on exon 2:the TG genotype frequencies of skeletal fluorosis group and the control group were 14.0% (7/50) and 16.7%(5/30),and the difference were not statistically significant (x2=0.103,P> 0.05).③The 1 046 bp A→G mutation on exon 2:the AA,AG,GG genotype frequencies of skeletal fluorosis group and the control group was 30.0% (15/50),24.0% (12/50),46.0% (23/50) and 50.0% (15/30),20.0%(6/30),30.0% (9/30),and the differences were not statistically significant (x2 =3.099,P > 0.05).Conclusion Exon 1at 401-402 bp,T insertion mutation and skeletal fluorosis are closely related.The relationship between A→Gmutation in exon 2 at 1 046 bp and skeletal fluorosis is not significant.

Abstract: Objective To explore the relationship between body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and the risk of gout in Urumqi. Methods A total of 516 male patients with gout in a third-class hospital in Urumqi from 2015 to 2019 were randomly selected as the gout group and 516 male healthy subjects in the same hospital as the control group. The relevant blood biochemical indexes were examined and analyzed. Blood pressure, waist circumference and hip circumference were measured. Body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio were calculated. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between overweight / obesity, waist-to-hip ratio and the risk of gout. The test level is α = 0.05. Results Uric acid, glucose, urea nitrogen, creatinine, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, systolic blood pressure, weight and waist circumference in gout group were higher than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05); There were no significant differences in age, height and diastolic blood pressure between the two groups (P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between BMI and WHR and the occurrence of gout (r=0.272, 0.345, P<0.05). There were significant differences in BMI, WHR and waist circumference between the gout group and the control group(χ2= 55.338, 54.928, 54.153, P<0.05). After adjusting for age, aerobic exercise and other confounding factors, the results of multi-factor unconditional Logistic regression analysis showed that the odds ratio (OR) of gout in patients with BMI of 24.00-27.99 kg/m2 and ≥28.00 kg/m2 was 2.005 (1.337-3.006) and 2.677 (1.668-4.296) times higher than that of patients with normal BMI, respectively. The OR value of gout in patients with WHR≥0.90 was 1.668 times higher than that in patients with normal WHR, and the difference was statistically significant. The results of subgroup analysis according to age are generally similar. Conclusions The BMI and WHR of man with gout in Urumqi are higher than those of normal people, and BMI, waist circumference and WHR are all associated with the incidence of gout. The risk of gout increases with the increase of BMI and WHR.

Objective To analyze the stability of chromosome variant ratio of three available transformed corneal cell lines. Methods Chromosome specimens of transformed cells including human corneal epithelial cells(HCE),bovine corneal endothelial cells(BCE) and rabbit corneal epithelial cells(RCE) were prepared by a direct method using regular Giemsa staining. Chromosomes of cells in metaphase were counted under the microscope. Then, the variant ratio of chromosomes and their nuclear types were analyzed. Results The chromosome numbers were 56 to 65, 27 to 34 and 74 to 88 for HCE, BCE and RCE, respectively. Chromosome numbers in the three commonly used and transformed corneal cell lines were changed in comparison to their parent tissues. Conclusion Genotyping study may provide important information for using HCE、BCE、RCE in functional studies.

Human ScFv against botulinum neurotoxin serotype A(BoNTa) was modified by fusing human IgG1 Fc to C terminal of ScFv. ScFv-Fc fusion protein was expressed at high level over 30% of total host cell proteins in E.coli. Recombinant protein existed in inclusion body form. Renatured ScFv-Fc was purified to 90%~95% by Protein G Sepharose column. In vitro ScFv-Fc could bind specific to toxiod BoNTa in ELISA. Recombinant ScFv-Fc had similar relative affinity to parent ScFv and had improved stability.
