RESULTS: Only arginine allele was detected in 70.1% (39/55) of HPV-16-E6-positive cases but only in 40.8% (20/49) of HPV-16-E6-negative cases (P<0.05; OR, 3.53; 95% CI, 1.57-7.98). In contrast, such a significant correlation between p53 polymorphism and HPV infection was not evident in corresponding normal mucosae. The allele frequency of Arg allele in cancer cases (0.68) was higher than that in normal mucosa samples (0.54) (P<0.05; OR, 1.80; 95% CI, 1.21-2.69).CONCLUSION: p53 codon 72 Arg homozygous genotype is one of the high-risk genetic factors for HPV-associated SCC of Kazakh. Individuals carrying Arg allele compared to those with Pro allele have an increased risk for esophageal SCC.展开更多

The difference of GSTM1 null was significantly more frequent in the cancer (34.6%) vsthe control group (3.8%) (P＜0.05; OR, 13.24; 95%CI, 4.50-38.89). On the other hand, the combination of GSTM1 presence and CYP2E1 c1/c1 genotypes increased the risk for cancer (P＜0.05;OR, 13.42; 95%CI, 6.29-28.3).CONCLUSION: The CYP2E1 c1/c1, GSTM1 deletion genotypes are genetically susceptible biomarkers for ESCC in Kazakh population. Individuals with allele c1 of RsaI polymorphic locus for CYP2E1 may increase the risk of ESCC. Moreover, CYP2E1 wild type (c1/c1) increased thesusceptibility to ESCC risk in Kazakh individuals with GSTM1 presence genotype.展开更多

In thisalgorithm, a mutative scale chaos optimization strategy is operated on the population after agenetic operation. And according to the searching process, the searching space of the optimalvariables is gradually diminished and the regulating coefficient of the secondary searching processis gradually changed which will lead to the quick evolution of the population. The algorithm hassuch advantages as fast search, precise results and convenient using etc. The simulation resultsshow that the performance of the method is better than that of simple genetic algorithms.展开更多

Ligustrum fruit extract wasgiven by gastric gavage at a dose of crude drug 30 g·kg^(-1)·d^(-1) for 110 days. The serum gonadadotropic hormones andtestosterone were determined on d 60 and testicular histology examined on d 110. Results: In the control diabeticrats, the seminiferous tubules were dilated and the spermatogenic cells irregularly arranged. Spermatogenesis was arrest-ed with the number of spermatids highly reduced and spermatozoa not observed. In the treated rats, all types of sper-matogenic cells were practically normal. The serum luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)and testosterone levels were higher in the treated than in the control rats, but the difference was insignificant. Conclu-sion: In experimental diabetic rats, ligustrum fruit extract protects the damaging effect of experimental diabetes onspermatogenesis. (Asian J Androl 2001 Mar; 3 : 71-73)展开更多

This study initially revealed that only α-CYP caused significant weight loss at 8.5 mg/(kg·day) in rats. All three CYP isomers caused the accumulation of hepatic glycogen, and hyperlipemia phenotype as the increment of total triglyceride. Rats treated with α-CYP had markedly high blood glucose levels and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index. The systematic inflammation of θ-CYP group rats was evidenced by high lipopolysaccharide-binding protein levels and abnormalities of leukocytes indices. By examining the gut microbiome, we found thatα-CYP-treated rats had low contents of Firmicutes and high levels of Verrucomicrobia while Elusimicrobia was enriched in the β-CYP group. The increasing alpha diversity in the θ-CYP group may be due to the dominance of pathogenic bacteria and the increase of probiotics to counteract adverse effects. Exclusively, the α-CYP group enriched total short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs), whereas most SCFAs depleted in the θ-CYP group. The correlation analysis further found Firmicutes, an energy storage modulator, was positive to body weight(BW),while SCFAs exerted the opposite, confirming the low BW in α-CYP. Blood glucose that correlated well with SCFAs and Verrucomicrobia can be accounted for the discrepancy betweenα-CYP and θ-CYP. Overall, the three isomers exerted stereoselective glycolipid disruption in rats, and gut homeostasis acted as vital indicators.展开更多

The allele frequency of Arg allele in cancer cases (0.68) was higher than that in normal mucosa samples (0.54) (P<0.05; OR, 1.80; 95% CI, 1.21-2.69).CONCLUSION: p53 codon 72 Arg homozygous genotype is one of the high-risk genetic factors for HPV-associated SCC of Kazakh. Individuals carrying Arg allele compared to those with Pro allele have an increased risk for esophageal SCC.
