Effect of ABCA1-V771M polymorphism on plasma lipid levels and its relationship with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease

Objective To explore the risk association of ABCA1-V771M polymorphism with coronary heart disease (CHD) in Hart nationality in Northwest of China. Methods With case-control study, ABCA1-V771M polymorphism was detected in 204 unrelated Hart nationality people in Northwest of China, and all the subjects by coronary angiography were grouped into 106 cases and 98 controls. The genotypes and alleles frequency distribution of ABCA1-V771M polymorphisms were analyzed by PCR-RFLP analysis, and the clinical statistics of serum lipids were compared and its effects of ABCA1-V771M polymorphism on the plasma lipid levels and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease were analyzed. Results The genotypic frequencies of ABCA1-V771M polymorphism matched well under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P>0.05), V and M allelic frequencies were 33.3% and 66.7%. In comparison with VV VM genotype carriers, MM genotypes carriers had much lower plasma levels of HDL-C (P<0. 001) and much higher plasma levels of TG (P<0. 05). M allelic frequency in CHD group was significantly higher than V allelic frequency (P<0. 05). M allele was related with more severity of atherosclerosis in the coronary artery than V allele (P<0.05). However, there was no obvious difference in the incidence of AMI among carriers with three genotypes of ABCA1-V771M polymorphism (P>0.05). Conclusion ABCA1-V771M polymorphism was not only associated with the plasma levels of HDL-C and TG, but also related to the susceptibility and severity of coronary atheroselerotic heart disease. Moreover, M771 allele appeared to be atherogenie among Han population in Northwest of China.     

Study on T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells in patients with Graves＇ disease combined with type 2 diabetes

Objective To investigate changes in T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells in patients with simple Graves' disease (GD)and Graves' disease combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus (GD/T2DM). Methods Fifteen cases of GD/ T2DM were selected from our hospital from November 2001 to November 2004. Before and after therapy thyroid function, thyroglobulin antibody (TGA), thyroid microsomal antibody (TMA) and blood glucose level were measured, and T lymphocyte subsets (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8) and NK cells (CD56) were measured by immunofluorescence double labeling monoclonal antibody and flow cytometry, respectively. At the same time, comparison was made with simple GD (15 cases), T2DM (15 cases) and healthy control (20 cases). Results Before therapy, CD4/CD8, CD4 and NK cells in GD/T2DM were less than normal, and there was no significant difference in comparison with simple GD (P<0.05). In T2DM group, only CD4/CD8 and CD4 were less than those of healthy controls (P<0.05). When thyroid function recovered after 1 to 3 months of methimazole treatment in both GD/T2DM and simple GD groups, various indexes recovered, which were more obvious in simple GD. Conclusion Immune hypofunction of GD may be the key to the immune abnormality of GD/T2DM, which is more significant than that of simple GD or T2DM. The recovery of thyroid function and immune abnormality is not consistent, and the recovery of GD is more significant than that of GD/T2DM.

目的观察健胃愈疡颗粒(JWYY)对幽门螺杆菌相关性胃炎胃黏膜乳癌相关肽(PS2)和血小板活化因子(plate-let activating factor,PAF)表达的变化,并分析其可能的作用机制。方法80例幽门螺杆菌感染慢性胃炎患者随机分为2组,治疗组42例给予健胃愈疡颗粒治疗,对照组38例给予西药三联药物治疗。应用胃镜下活检胃黏膜组织快速尿素酶和Warthin-Starry染色法检测幽门螺杆菌,应用Western blot检测PS2、PAF表达变化。应用末端转移酶介导的dUTP切口末段标记法(TUNEL)检测细胞凋亡。第4周复查胃镜。结果治疗组凋亡指数明显比对照组减少(P<0.05),治疗组总有效率高于对照组(P<0.05)。Western blot检测显示:JWYY颗粒可上调PS2并下调PAF的表达,而对照组对胃黏膜PS2和PAF的表达影响不大。结论健胃愈疡颗粒治疗幽门螺杆菌(Hp)相关性胃炎可能与杀灭Hp、上调PS2和下调PAF的表达来抑制细胞凋亡有关。     

2型糖尿病患者一级亲属正常糖代谢人群胰岛素抵抗分析

目的探讨2型糖尿病(T2DM)患者糖耐量正常的一级亲属胰岛β细胞功能及胰岛素抵抗情况,并分析胰岛素抵抗的相关因素。方法选取T2DM患者糖耐量正常的一级亲属63例,根据胰岛素抵抗指数分为胰岛素抵抗组及非抵抗组;选取30例健康体检者作为正常对照组。对所选的93例对象进行血压、血糖、胰岛素、血脂的测定,并计算稳态模型胰岛素抵抗指数(HOMA-IR)及胰岛β细胞功能指数(HOMA-β)。结果①糖尿病患者一级亲属组与对照组相比,胰岛素水平、HOMA-IR、HOMA-β明显升高(P<0.05);②胰岛素抵抗组体质指数、舒张压、甘油三酯、餐后血糖、HOMA-β明显高于胰岛素非抵抗组(P<0.05);③相关分析示胰岛素抵抗与体质指数、舒张压、甘油三酯、餐后胰岛素呈正相关(P<0.01,P<0.05),与空腹血糖、餐后血糖、空腹胰岛素、收缩压、胆固醇无显著相关性(P>0.05)。结论T2DM患者一级亲属存在胰岛β细胞代偿性的高分泌,早期已经出现胰岛素敏感性的下降和胰岛素抵抗。胰岛素抵抗与体重增加、舒张压升高及甘油三酯的升高有关。提示对糖尿病患者一级亲属应严格控制体重、血压及血脂,对减少T2DM具有积极意义。

ω-3多不饱和脂肪酸对人胃腺癌细胞系AGS的作用

目的探讨ω-3多不饱和脂肪酸对人胃腺癌AGS细胞生长增殖的作用和可能的机制。方法以不同浓度梯度的DHA、EPA作用于体外培养的AGS细胞和人微血管内皮细胞HMEC-1,采用四甲基偶氮唑蓝(MTT)观察细胞增殖抑制率,使用流式细胞仪检测细胞周期变化,采用Western blot分析细胞线粒体呼吸链膜蛋白复合体Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅴ表达变化。结果 DHA和EPA对胃腺癌AGS细胞增殖具有明显抑制作用,该抑制作用呈现明显的剂量时间依赖效应的特点(P<0.05),在相同的浓度梯度下,DHA的抑制作用强于EPA(P<0.05)。倒置显微镜下DHA作用后观察到AGS细胞明显皱缩,细胞的贴壁能力明显减弱。流式细胞仪检测显示,DHA、EPA干预后AGS细胞的DNA合成前期(G0/G1期)细胞分布比例明显增加,DNA合成期(S期)细胞分布比例明显减少(P<0.05)。Western blot分析可见,DHA干预AGS细胞24h和48h后,与对照组比较,AGS线粒体呼吸链膜蛋白复合体Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅴ表达灰度值显著下降,而且随着作用时间延长,复合体表达灰度值下降愈明显(P<0.05)。DHA对人微血管内皮细胞的生长增殖、细胞形态和线粒体呼吸链膜蛋白复合体无明显影响(P>0.05)。结论ω-3多不饱和脂肪酸可选择性有效地抑制人胃腺癌AGS细胞的生长增殖。该作用可能是通过阻滞AGS细胞于G0/G1期和抑制AGS细胞能量代谢来实现的。
