Objectives To investigate the relationship of the GPIa C807T dimorphism to the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in Chinese. Methods We did a case-control study including 100 patients and 110 controls with same race. An allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for genotyping of C807T polymorphism. Results An apparent association was found between the T807 allele and MI among individuals younger than the mean age of 60 years (odds ratio,2.49; 95% confidence interval, 1.08 ~ 6.22 ). The T807 allele remained an independent risk factor for MI when age, sex, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, bodymass index, LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol were adjusted by logistic regression. Conclusions GPⅠa T807 appears to be an independent risk factor for MI. 相似文献
目的:获得较高比例的已分化表皮细胞,为表皮细胞去分化研究奠定基础.方法:采用常规表皮细胞培养方法对人表皮角质细胞系(HEK)进行培养和传代.每一代细胞均通过免疫细胞化学染色和Western blot 方法进行表皮干细胞和表皮细胞相应标志物的检测,包括β1整合素、角蛋白19(K19)、角蛋白10(K10)等指标.结果:第1代HEK呈克隆样生长,表皮干细胞标志物β1整合素、K19均有高表达,而K10的表达为阴性.经过数次传代,细胞克隆形成数目减少,细胞逐渐呈分散分布,K10的表达逐渐增高,而β1整合素、K19的表达呈下降趋势,比例减少.细胞培养至第5~6代时,为其生长的一个转折点,即此时细胞增殖能力开始明显降低,但形态良好,K10表达阳性细胞比例明显增高,而β1整合素、K19表达阳性细胞比例迅速降低.细胞培养至10~11代时,为其生长的第二个转折点,此时细胞几乎丧失增殖能力,数量显著减少,体积变大,核浆比明显减小,完全见不到β1整合素、K19表达阳性细胞,K10染色均为阳性.结论:可以选取适当代数的HEK用于去分化研究,为增加HEK的新用途提供了实验基础. 相似文献
Background: To date, no study has explored the effect of bent length on lightwand intubation. For successful intubation in daily practice, the authors found that bent length should be approximated to the patient's thyroid prominence-to-mandibular angle distance (TMD), but some patients have a TMD much shorter than the suggested bent length range. The purposes of this study were to understand TMD distribution in adults and to test the influence of bent length on lightwand intubation.
Methods: The TMD, airway, and demographic data of 379 patients were collected. To test the bent length influence, patients were enrolled in group A (158 patients, TMD <= 5.5 cm) and group B (131 patients, TMD > 5.5 cm) and were intubated randomly using the lower (6.5 cm) and upper (8.5 cm) limits of the suggested range. Success rate and lightwand search time were compared.
Results: In group A, the success rate was 98.8% with 6.5-cm bent length and 78.2% with 8.5-cm bent length (P < 0.05). Search times were 5.7 +/- 2.90 and 8.9 +/- 5.80 s with 6.5- and 8.5-cm bent length, respectively (P < 0.01). In group B, there was no statistical difference in success rate and search time between 6.5- and 8.5-cm bent length. 相似文献
