ABSTRACT
Objective@#: To explore the correlation between the polymorphism of histone deacetylase 9 gene (rs1060499865, rs723296, rs957960) and ischemic stroke (IS) in Chinese Han population in Dali region. @*Methods@#: This study included 155 IS patients and 128 healthy physical examinees. TaqMan-polymerase chain reaction technology and multivariate logistic regression were performed. @*Results@#: In the case group, there was no polymorphism of rs1060499865 observed in the two groups; whereas on the rs723296 locus the frequencies of C allele and TC genotype were significantly higher than that in the control group, alleles C and T were associated with a 2.158-fold increase in IS risk, and genotypes TC and TT were associated with a 2.269-fold increase in IS risk. The locus rs957960 exhibited no significant difference between the two groups. @*Conclusion@#: An association between rs723296 and the risk of IS was found in the Chinese Han population in Dali region. No significant association was found between rs1060499865, rs957960 and IS in the Chinese Han population in Dali region.
ABSTRACT
To perform a systematic review of the data collected from case-control studies conducted earlier to investigate the correlation between E-selectin S128R polymorphism and ischemic stroke (IS) risk among the Chinese population. The PubMed, Web of Science, Chinese biomedical literature database (CBM), Chinese databases China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanfangData knowledge service platform (Wanfang Data), and information resource integration service platform (VIP) Databases were searched to retrieve case-control studies on the correlation between E-selectin gene S128R polymorphism and IS from the inception of the database till June 2019. The literature was screened, data were extracted, the risk of bias was reviewed, and the studies included were assessed independently by two reviewers. Stata ver. 12.0 software (Stata Corp LLC, College Station, TX, USA) was used to perform the meta-analysis. A total of 2907 cases from eight case-control studies involving 1478 IS patients and 1429 controls were included in this study. The R allele and RS genotype in E-selectin were found to be associated with the risk of IS as per the results of the meta-analysis (R vs. S : odds ratio [OR], 2.75; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.15-3.51; p<0.00001; RS vs. SS : OR, 2.50; 95% CI, 1.95-3.19; p<0.00001; RR+RS vs. SS : OR, 2.85, 95% CI, 2.21-3.67; p<0.00001). The E-selectin gene S128R polymorphism is likely related to IS based on the results of a meta-analysis in the Chinese population, and the R allele and RS genotype of E-selectin may be IS risk factors.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the neuroprotective effects of Fasudil in cerebral I/R injury in mice.Methods 51 C57BL/6J mice was divided into two groups,CMC treated group (n=26) and Fasudil treated group (n=25),randomly.The mice were treated with Fasudil (10 mg/kg) or CMC (0.5％ CMC 10 ml/kg) separately.Then the treated mice were subjected to 60 min of focal ischemia and 18 h reperfusion.The infarct volume of brain was analyzed by TTC staining with MCID image system.BBB permeability was assessed by Evans blue extravasation and albumin leakage which was detected by immuno-blotting assay.The activity of MMP9 was analyzed by zymography.Results The infarct volume in CMC group ((99.07±6.53) mm3) was larger than that in Fasudil group ((57.02±8.93) mm3),the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.01).The activity of MMP9 in the mice treated with Fasudil was lower than that in CMC group.Compared with the CMC group(albumin (2.95±0.77),Evans blue (5.15±0.24)),the albumin and Evans blue content in the Fasudil treated group (albumin (1.04±0.18),Evans blue (1.96±0.31))reduced significanctly(all P＜0.01).Conclusion Fasudil protects I/R damage by inhibiting the activity of MMP9 to maintain blood-brain barrier permeability.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate relativity between the epidemiology of HPV and cervical carcinoma in Dali region,Yunnan province,through detecting the 13 high-risk human papillomavirus infection and Thinprep cytologic test in 2153 cases.Methods Real-time PCR was used to detect the 13 high-risk HPV (16,18,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59,68) in2153 cases and 1604 cases were checked with Thinprep cytologic test.Results In 2153 samples,260 cases were infected with HPV,with the positive rate of 12.08％.The highest positive rates were ＞60 years old (18.18％),then ＞20 and ≤30 years old (14.41％);there was no significant difference in the positive rate among the various age groups (P =0.384).There were 1465 negative for intraepithelial lesion ormalignancy (NILM) cases (91.33％),86 atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) and atypical squamous cells cannot exclude HSIL (ASC-H) cases (5.36％),32 low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion cases (LSIL) cases (2.00％),21 high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion cases (1.31％) through Thinprep cytologic test.The correlation coefficient is 0.893.Conclusions The infection rate of HPV in Dali region,Yunnan Province,has no significant difference among the various age groups.Application of 13 high-risk HPV infection test combined with Thinprep cytologic test could be more effective in screening cervical carcinoma.
