Background:
and Purpose Ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIA) are associated with a mortality rate of up to 40% in the Chinese population, highlighting the critical need for targeted treatment interventions for at-risk individuals. Although the impact of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene mutations on susceptibility to intracranial aneurysms (IA) is well documented, the potential connection between ALDH2 rs671 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and RIA remains unexplored. Given the increased prevalence of ALDH2 gene mutations among Chinese Han individuals, it is clinically relevant to investigate the link between ALDH2 rs671 SNP and IA rupture.
Methods:
A prospective study was conducted on 546 patients diagnosed with IA to investigate the association between ALDH2 rs671 SNP and the risk of IA rupture.
Results:
The ALDH2 rs671 SNP (ALDH2*2) was significantly more prevalent in patients with unruptured IA (UIA) than in those with RIA (32.56% vs. 18.58%, P=0.004). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that people with the ALDH2 mutation (ALDH2*1/*2 and ALDH2*2/*2 gene type) had a significantly reduced odds ratio (OR=0.49; 95% confidence level [CI] 0.27–0.88; P=0.018) for RIAs. Age-specific subgroup analysis indicated that the ALDH2 mutation provided a stronger protective effect in individuals aged 60 years and above with IA compared to those under 60 years old (OR=0.38 vs. OR=0.52, both P<0.05).
Conclusion
The incidence of RIA was significantly higher in individuals with a normal ALDH2 gene (ALDH2*1/*1) than in those with an ALDH2 rs671 SNP (ALDH2*1/*2 or ALDH2*2/*2). ALDH2 rs671 SNP may serve as a protective factor against RIA in the Chinese Han population.

Objective:Meta analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of miRNA-25 in different malignant tumors in Chinese population.Methods:The research on the diagnostic value of miRNA-25 in China national knowledge internet (CKNI), VIP, Wanfang, PubMed and EMBase was searched. The publication time was from the establishment of database to October 2019. After the data was extracted, the Meta.DiSc1.4 software was used for preliminary statistical analysis. The Review Manager 5.3's QUADAS-2 tool was used for quality control of the incoming literature. The STATA 15.0 software was used to analyze whether there was publication bias.Results:A total of 10 articles were included in the study, including 792 cases in the case group and 715 cases in the control group. The combined sensitivity, combined specificity, combined specificity, combined positive likehood ratio(PLR), negative likehood ratio (NLR) were 0.71(95% CI: 0.69-0.74), 0.84(95% CI: 0.81-0.86), 4.29(95% CI: 3.39-5.42), 0.35(95% CI: 0.31-0.40), respectively. Diagnostic odds rate (DOR) was 13.09(95% CI: 9.64-17.78), and the area under curve (AUC) was 0.80(95% CI: 0.77-0.84). Subgroup analysis showed that the diagnostic value of miRNA-25 for different malignant tumors suggested that the lung cancer group had the highest diagnostic value and specificity (DOR=16.418, SPE=0.863). Funnel plot indicated that no significant publication bias was found ( P=0.21). Conclusions:miRNA-25 is highly sensitive and specific to different malignancies, especially lung cancer, and can be used as a potential screening biomarker to assist diagnosis.
