动脉介入溶栓术治疗急性脑梗死的临床疗效

目的:探究动脉介入溶栓术对急性脑梗死患者的临床疗效。方法:选择我院收治的急性脑梗死患者43例并随机划分成实验组以及对照组。对照组19例予静脉内尿激酶溶栓,实验组24例予尿激酶动脉内溶栓。比较两组临床疗效、治疗前后血清脑钠肽及Hcy水平的变化。结果:实验组总有效率显著高于对照组,差异具有统计学意义(P0.05)。治疗后,两组患者血清脑钠肽、同型半胱氨酸(Hcy)水平及NIHSS评分均较治疗前降低,且与对照组比较,实验组血管总再通率较高、NIHSS评分、血清脑钠肽及Hcy水平较低,差异具备有统计学意义(P0.05)。结论:动脉介入溶栓术治疗急性脑梗死患者能够有效提高血管再通率、NIHSS评分及临床疗效,推测其与降低患者血清脑钠肽及Hcy水平相关联。     

Homocysteine-induced endothelial cell adhesion is related to adenosine lowering and is not mediated by S-adenosylhomocysteine

Hyperhomocysteinemia is a cardiovascular risk factor and may contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis by altering endothelial functions. The mechanism of homocysteine-induced cell adhesion has been here investigated using EA.hy 926 cells. Homocysteine induces a stereospecific, time- and dose-dependent cell adhesion which is prevented by adenosine. The dramatic increase of S-adenosylhomocysteine induced by adenosine-2',3'-dialdehyde does not cause cell adhesion, indicating that no apparent relationship exists between this process and intracellular S-adenosylhomocysteine content. Homocysteine-induced cell adhesion is abolished by pre-treatment with adenosine-2',3'-dialdehyde, demonstrating that the adenosine depletion caused by reversal of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase reaction is responsible for homocysteine-induced cell damage.

Association study between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphisms and unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss: A meta-analysis

Background

Recurrent pregnancy loss is an important clinical problem. Recently, high-level homocysteine in blood has been considered as a possible cause. Genetic polymorphisms in methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) have been proved to be the common hereditary factors of high-level homocysteine. The association between MTHFR polymorphisms and unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (URPL) has been reported but with controversial results. The purpose of present study is to collect and analyze published available data, and evaluate the association between MTHFR polymorphisms and URPL.

Methods

A meta-analysis was performed to examine the association between MTHFR polymorphisms (C677T and A1298C) and URPL. Odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were used in each study of genotype and allele contrast.

Result(s)

MTHFR C677T: The analysis included 3559 URPL cases and 5097 healthy controls. Overall random-effects odds ratios (ORs) were 1.68 (95% CI, 1.32–2.13; P < 0.0001) for TT versus total genotypes, 1.35 (95% CI, 1.04–1.76; P = 0.0224) for TT and CT genotype combined versus total genotypes and 1.34 (95%CI, 1.13–1.58; P < 0.0001) for T versus total alleles. Although significant heterogeneity was found in C677T, it became weaker in the East Asian subgroup and the mixed subgroup when separated by ethnic subgroups. The results showed significant association between MTHFR C677T and URPL in the East Asian subgroup (ORs 2.11 for TT versus total genotype (P = 0.0004) and 1.53 for T versus total alleles (P < 0.0001)) and in the mixed subgroup (ORs 3.47 for TT versus total genotypes (P < 0.0001) and 1.80 for T versus total alleles (P < 0.027)), but not in Caucasian subgroup.

MTHFR A1298C

The study involved 1163 URPL cases and 1061 healthy controls. Overall random-effects odds ratios (ORs) were 1.37 (95% CI, 0.71–2.67; P = 0.3456) for CC versus total genotypes, 1.16 (95%CI, 0.98–1.38; P = 0.0833) for CC + AC versus total genotypes and 1.04 (95%CI, 0.84–1.29; P = 0.7112) for C versus total alleles. No significant association between MTHFR A1298C polymorphism and URPL was found.

Conclusions

These results indicate a significant association between MTHFR C677T mutation and URPL in the East Asian subgroup and mixed subgroup, but no significance in MTHFR A1298C mutation.     

Gene–environment and gene–gene interactions of specific MTHFR,MTR and CBS gene variants in relation to homocysteine in black South Africans

The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), cystathione-β-synthase (CBS) and methionine synthase (MTR) genes interact with each other and the environment. These interactions could influence homocysteine (Hcy) and diseases contingent thereon. We determined single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within these genes, their relationships and interactions with total Hcy concentrations within black South Africans to address the increased prevalence of diseases associated with Hcy. The MTHFR 677 TT and MTR 2756 AA genotypes were associated with higher Hcy concentrations (16.6 and 10.1 μmol/L; p < 0.05) compared to subjects harboring the MTHFR 677 CT/CC and the MTR 2756 AG genotypes (10.5, 9.7 and 9.5 μmol/L, respectively). The investigated CBS genotypes did not influence Hcy. We demonstrated interactions between the area of residence and the CBS T833C/844ins68 genotypes (p = 0.005) so that when harboring the wildtype allele, rural subjects had significantly higher Hcy than their urban counterparts, but when hosting the variant allele the environment made no difference to Hcy. Between the CBS T833C/844ins68 or G9276A and MTHFR C677T genotypes, there were two-way interactions (p = 0.003 and = 0.004, respectively), with regard to Hcy. Subjects harboring the MTHFR 677 TT genotype in combination with the CBS 833 TT/homozygous 844 non-insert or the MTHFR 677 TT genotype in combination with the CBS 9276 GA/GG displayed higher Hcy concentrations.     

Soluble epoxide hydrolase: Gene structure,expression and deletion

Mammalian soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) converts epoxides to their corresponding diols through the addition of a water molecule. sEH readily hydrolyzes lipid signaling molecules, including the epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), epoxidized lipids produced from arachidonic acid by the action of cytochrome p450s. Through its metabolism of the EETs and other lipid mediators, sEH contributes to the regulation of vascular tone, nociception, angiogenesis and the inflammatory response. Because of its central physiological role in disease states such as cardiac hypertrophy, diabetes, hypertension, and pain sEH is being investigated as a therapeutic target. This review begins with a brief introduction to sEH protein structure and function. sEH evolution and gene structure are then discussed before human small nucleotide polymorphisms and mammalian gene expression are described in the context of several disease models. The review ends with an overview of studies that have employed the sEH knockout mouse model.
