Objectives
The aim of this study was to examine the association of +1245G/T polymorphisms in the COL1A1 gene with ACL ruptures in Polish male recreational skiers in a case-control study.Methods
A total of 138 male recreational skiers with surgically diagnosed primary ACL ruptures, all of whom qualified for ligament reconstruction, were recruited for this study. The control group comprised 183 apparently healthy male skiers with a comparable level of exposure to ACL injury, none of whom had any self-reported history of ligament or tendon injury. DNA samples extracted from the oral epithelial cells were genotyped for the +1245G/T polymorphisms using real-time PCR method.Results
Genotype distributions among cases and controls conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (p = 0.2469 and p = 0.33, respectively). There was a significant difference in the genotype distribution between skiers and controls (p = 0.045, Fisher''s exact test). There was no statistical difference in allele distribution: OR 1.43 (0.91-2.25), p = 0.101 (two-sided Fisher''s exact test).Conclusions
The risk of ACL ruptures was around 1.43 times lower in carriers of a minor allele G as compared to carriers of the allele T. 相似文献2.

Most calmodulin (CaM) targets are α‐helices. It is not clear if CaM induces the adoption of an α‐helix configuration to its targets or if those targets are selected as they spontaneously adopt an α‐helical conformation. Other than an α‐helix propensity, there is a great variety of CaM targets with little more in common. One exception to this rule is the IQ site that can be recognized in a number of targets, such as those ion channels belonging to the KCNQ family. Although there is negligible sequence similarity between the IQ motif and the docking site on SK2 channels, both adopt a similar three‐dimensional disposition. The isolated SK2 target presents a pre‐folded core region that becomes fully α‐helical upon binding to CaM. The existence of this pre‐folded state suggests the occurrence of capping within CaM targets. In this review, we examine the capping properties within the residues flanking this core domain, and relate known IQ motifs and capping. 相似文献

ObjectiveRisk factors for differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) are poorly understood, but serum TSH levels, thyroid nodularity, and presence of autoimmunity are well-recognized factors that modulate DTC prevalence. TSH stimulates proliferation of both normal and neoplastic follicular cells. Consequently, thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI), because of its TSH-like action, should induce DTC progression in patients with Graves’ disease (GD). The study objective was to compare the prevalence of incidental DTC in patients undergoing thyroidectomy for benign thyroid disease.MethodsThe pathology reports of 372 patients with preoperative diagnosis of euthyroid multinodular goiter (EMG) or hyperthyroidism were reviewed. Scintigraphy results and serum TSI levels were used to diagnosed either GD or hyperactive MG (HMG) to hyperthyroid subjects. Prevalence of DTC in each category was calculated using a Chi-square test.ResultsEMG, GD, and HMG were diagnosed in 221, 125, and 26 patients. There were 58 DTCs, distributed as follows [n (%)]: EMG, 49 (22.2%); GD, 8 (6.4%), and HMG, 1 (3.8%). Difference in prevalence of incidental DTC between the groups was statistically significant (p < 0.001). After adjustment for age, patients with EMG had a greater DTC prevalence than GD patients, with an OR of 4.17 (p < 0.001). Tumor size (mm, mean ± SD) was 6.92 ± 11.26, 1.97 ± 1.85, and 9.0 for EMG, GD and HMG respectively (p = 0.017).ConclusionsIncidental DTC was less prevalent in GD as compared to EMG irrespective of age. This finding may suggest a predisposition to develop DTC in patients with thyroid nodular disease and/or a potential effect of autoimmunity to protect against development of neoplastic disease. 相似文献

Mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) mediates the thermogenic transport of protons through the inner mitochondrial membrane. This proton leak uncouples respiration from ATP synthesis. The current study assessed the possible contribution of UCP1 muscle gene transfer to impair mitochondrial respiration in a tissue lacking UCP1 gene expression. Rats received an intramuscular injection of plasmid pXC1 containing UCP1 cDNA in the right tibialis muscles, while left tibialis muscles were injected with empty plasmid as control. Ten days after DNA injection, mitochondria from tibialis anterior muscles were isolated and analyzed. UCP1 gene transfer resulted in protein expression as analyzed by inmunoblotting. Mitochondria isolated from UCP1-injected muscles showed a significant increase in state 2 and state 4 oxygen consumption rates and a decreased respiration control ratio in comparison to mitochondria from control muscles. Furthermore, UCP1-containing mitochondria had a lower membrane potential in those states (2 and 4) when compared with control mitochondria. Our results revealed that UCP1 muscle gene transfer is associated with an induced mitochondrial proton leak, which could contribute to increase energy expenditure. 相似文献

The NOS3 gene has been associated with athletic endurance performance and elite power athletic status. With respect to NOS3 G894T and its relation to athletic performance or status, results across various studies have not been consistent. Therefore, the lack of consistency among previous studies prompted us to design a case-control study in a Polish Caucasian population to examine the relationship between the NOS3 G894T polymorphism and athletes' status, i.e. type and intensity of exercise performed (poweroriented, “mixed” power/endurance activity, endurance-oriented) and the possible association between the G894T variant and athletic performance. The case-control study was performed in a group of 360 Polish athletes (cases) of the highest nationally competitive standard (male n=156 and female n=67) and 191 unrelated, sedentary control subjects. The G894T genotype and allele distributions differed significantly between power-oriented (P=0.009, P=0.003), “mixed” (P=0.021, P=0.009), endurance (P=0.043, P=0.014) athletes when compared to control subjects (P values for genotypes and alleles, respectively). There were no significant differences between elite and sub-elite athletes in any group. The over-representation of the GG genotype and G allele in all athletes suggests that the G894 allele may favour all types of sports, however, the strongest predisposition was seen among power-oriented athletes. 相似文献
