ABSTRACT
Objective To identify new susceptibility genes for coronary artery disease(CAD)by integrating genome wide association study and gene expression profiling.Methods On account of our data of genome wide association study(GWAS)on CAD,our integrative analysis of gene expression profiles and GWAS for CAD was conducted,and we obtained candidate genes and single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) for a multicenter case-control genetic association study.Using a DNA ligase chain reaction-based genotyping method,we validated these candidate loci in two independent populations.Results Firstly,we selected 21 SNPs for 21 candidate genes.Using a DNA ligase chain reaction-based genotyping method,we validated these candidate loci in two independent populations,including population 1(495 cases and 492 control)and population 2(810 cases and 853 control).And we identified an intragenic SNP rs11208367 (ROR 1),which was significantly associated with CAD.Meta confluence analysis in combination of GWAS and two validation populations showed that the P value of rs11208367 was 2.00 × 10-4,which was still significant after Bonferroni multiple test correction (0.05/21 =2.38 × 10-3).Conclusions The rs11208367 SNP of ROR1gene is significantly associated with CAD,indicating that ROR1is a novel susceptibility gene for CAD.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the treatment methods for colorectal cancer patients combined with active tuberculosis. Methods The clinical data of 8 cases of colorectal cancer combined with active tuberculosis from September 2011 to January 2017 in the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. Results All the patients received tumor radical resection after given intensive anti-tuberculotherapy for 2 to 3 weeks. From the second day after surgery, isonicotinyl hydrazide was done through intravenous infusion. When gastrointestinal function was restored, the preoperative anti-tuberculosis treatment was reused. After 2 mouths, consolidation therapy was done. There were 3 cases of complicating pneumonia and 1 case of complicating anastomotic fistula after surgery.Six courses of FOLFOX4 chemotherapy combined with anti-tuberculosis consolidation treatment were carried out for all the patients. No tuberculosis dissemination or death case occurred. Conclusions After given anti-tuberculotherapy for 2 to 3 weeks, the colorectal cancer patients combined with active tuberculosis could receive tumor radical resection. It is safe and feasible to carry out assisted chemotherapy for tumor during the consolidation anti-tuberculotherapy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clinical significance of liver failure staging and MELD in predicting the short term prognosis of HBV-acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF).Methods One hundred and ten HBV-ACLF patients admitted to our hospital from July 2013 to July 2015 were included into this study.They were divided into early stage group (n=18),middle stage group (n=48) and end stage group (n=44),the fatality rate in each group was evaluated.According to the MELD score at baseline,they were divided into four groups,MELD＜20 (n =24),20≤ MELD＜30 (n=54),30≤MELD＜40(n =28),40≤MELD (n =4).The fatality rate in each group was evaluated.In the middle stage group,they were be divided into two groups,/△MELD＜0 and △MELD＞0(△MELD=MELD1w-MELDbaseline).The fatality rate in each group was evaluated.Results The fatality rate of the 3 groups(Early,Middle and End stage group) at 3th month was 0,50％,95 ％ respectively(P＜ 0.05).The fatality rate of the 4 groups (MELD＜20,20≤MELD＜30,30≤MELD＜40,40≤MELD)was 31.58％,66.67％,85.71％ and 100％ respectively (P＜ 0.05).In the middle stage group,the fatality rate of the two groups was (△MELD＜0 and △MELD＞ 0)41.18％ and 85.71％ (P=0.001).Conclusion It can be shown that the survival probability of early stage group was high,the probability of death in end stage group and middle stage group with△MELD＞0 was high.

ABSTRACT
Objective: Based on optimized method of DNA ligase chain reaction in medium/low throughput genotyping, we assessed the relationship between NOD-like receptor genes NOD1, NOD2 and coronary artery disease (CAD) occurrence. Methods: A multiplex PCR was conducted to enrich DNA template; probe design, annealing temperature, time and number of circulation of PCR were opfimizecl for allele specific ligation; allele specific products were identified by fluorescence PCR and capillary electrophoresis; the accuracy was verified by Sanger sequencing. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on NOD1 gene and NOD2 gene were examined in 1555 CAD patients and 1887 control subjects; the relationship between SNPs and CAD occurrence was studied. Results: Based on optimized PCR condition and allele specific probe design, 30 allele loci genotyping can be genotyped by 10ng DNA template at one time. Association study presented that rs751271 and rs1861759 on NOD2 gene were related to non-hypertensive CAD, allP<0.05; with Bonferroni correction, such correlation was still significant, allP<0.05. Conclusion: We optimized DNA ligase chain reaction and established a novel high accuracy, low cost method for the demand of medium/low throughput genotyping in clinical molecular diagnosis. With this method, we identified that rs1861759 and rs751271 on NOD2 gene were associated with non-hypertensive CAD.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate pathogens distribution and their drug resistance of hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) in local elderly paraplegic patients,and to help to gain experience in early using antibiotics.Methods One hundred and thirty six elderly patients diagnosed as HAP from January 2007 to December 2010 in our hospital were selected.Pathogens distribution and their drug resistance were detected.Results One hundred and fifty two pathogens are isolated from the 136 patients,and most of them are gram negative bacteria which accounts for 70.4％.The first three pathogens are Klebsiella pneumonia(24.3％),Escherichia coli (20.4％) and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (18.4％).Gram-positive cocci accounts for 25.0％ in total pathogens,among them,staphylococcus aureus and streptococcus pneumoniae account for the most,and the number of Fungi is the fewest.Drug resistance rate of gram-negative bacteria is higher than that of Gram-positive bacteria.Gram-negative bacteria has higher resistance to ampicillin,cefoperazone,ciprofloxacin,levofloxacin and eotrimoxazole.Gram-positive bacteria has higher resistance to penicillin,cefazolin and gentamicin.Conclusion To elderly paraplegic HAP patients,the main pathogenic flora is gram-negative bacterium which shows multiple resistances.Being familiar with the features of pathogens and their drug resistance will provide better guidance on early treatment and improve prognosis of elderly paraplegic HAP patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the main influence factors of nosocomial infection(NI) and establish a model to predict and forecast the risk of NI on patients in hospitals. Methods Clinical data of 27352 inpatients extracted from hospital information system were sorted out and coded, and a logistic regression model about the probability of NI was established. The risk of NI was divided into four scales. Results With multiple factor analysis,16 risk factors of NI were identified, which were age, high body temperature, numbers of diagnosis, days of staying in hospital and seriousness, numbers of routine test for urine, times of blood transfusion, use or without use of antibiotic and radiotherapy, turning over the bodies or not, relationships between infection and interventional operations, with or without diabetes, categories of diseases based on ICD-9, numbers of interventional operations, type of anesthesia and department of admission. If NI was judged when predicted probability(Pr)of logistic regression model exceeded 0 35, the specificity and false diagnostic rate of diagnostic test were 0 995 and 0 005 respectively, and the area under ROC curve was 0 986. According to decision tree method, the risk of NI was classified into four degrees: low (Pr

ABSTRACT
It is kno wn that 8-Br-cAMP is one of selective bi nding site analogues for cAMP RIIα to af fect cell growth through regulation of g ene expression.The p16,p21wafl,p53 a nd Rb are antioncogenes which affect cel l growth through control of cell cycle.T he aim of this study is to investigate t he 8-Br-cAMP effect on the expression of antioncogenes in human HXO-Rb44 cells. Methods Cultured HXO-Rb44 cells in RPMI -1 640 medium were divided into two aliquot s.8-Br-cAMP (2×10-5mol/L) was added i nto one aliquot for 24h as the experime ntal group(EG),the another aliquot witho ut 8-Br-cAMP as the control group(CG).Af ter 24h,the cell suspension was dropped onto the nitrocellulose membrane.The mR NA of p16,p21wafl,wild type(w)p53,mut ant type(m) p53 and Rb were used respec tively with biotin-labeled cDNA probes b y intact cell RNA dot blot.The immunorea ctivity(IR) of P16,P21wafl,PRb,PCN A,cdk2 and cdk4 were detected respecti vely with specific monoclonal antibodies on dot blot.ResultsThe mRNA dot blot s ignals of mp53 and protein dot blot of cdk2-IR,cdk4-IR and PCNA-IR in EG were weaker than those in CG(P＜0.05～0.01). W hile,the mRNA signals of p16,p21wafl,wp53 and Rb in EG were stronger than tho se in CG(P＜0.05～0.01).The intensity of ea ch protein dot blot was consistent with that of their RNA dot blot (except for w P53-IR and mP53-IR not to be done).Conc lusions(1)8-Br-cAMP could up-regul ate expression of antioncogenes includin g p16,p21wafl,wp53,Rb,and protein exp ression of P16,P21wafl and PRb.(2) 8-Br-cAMP could down-regulate mp53 gene expression and protein expression of cd k2,cdk4 and PCNA.The results suggest t hat 8-Br-cAMP could inhibit human HXO-Rb 44 cell growth through interfering rela ted gene expression of cell cycle.
