Association of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 rs1024611 and telomerase rs2736100 polymorphisms with susceptibility to pulmonary tuberculosis in Han Chinese population
Authors: G.H. Cheng, X.L. Wang, X.T. Yuan, Q. Xin, Q. Sun, K.L. Li, C. Sun, Z.M. Lin, Y. Luan, Y.S. Wang, F. Kong and D.W. Xu
Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and accumulated evidence reveals the genetic context of its infection phenotypes. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) rs1024611 variant is shown to be associated with PTB susceptibility in some studies, but significant disparities exist. In a.. Read More»

Preventive effect of tert-butylhydroquinone on scrotal heat-induced damage in mouse testes
Authors: Y.S. Li1, Y.G. Piao1, K. Nagaoka2,3, G. Watanabe2,3, K. Taya2,3 and C.M. Li1
To investigate the effect of tert-butylhydroquinone (tBHQ) on scrotal heat-induced damage in mice testes, 8-week-old mice were divided into 6 groups and administered with or without tBHQ through diet (10 mg/g), intraperitoneal injection (100 mg/kg body weight), or intratestis injection (12.5 mg/kg body weight), respectively. After single scrotal heat expo.. Read More»

Association of genetic polymorphisms in TERT-CLPTM1L with lung cancer in a Chinese population
Authors: S.G. Liu, L. Ma, Q.H. Cen, J.S. Huang, J.X. Zhang and J.J. Zhang
Genome-wide association studies in several ethnic groups have reported that polymorphisms of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) and cleft lip and palate transmembrane 1-like (CLPTM1L) genes, located on 5p15.33, are associated with susceptibility to lung cancer. However, whether genetic variants of TERT-CLPTM1L are associated with an increased ris.. Read More»

Reason and treatment of failure of proximal femoral nail antirotation internal fixation for femoral intertrochanteric fractures of senile patients
Authors: J.J. Liu, L.C. Shan, B.Y. Deng, J.G. Wang, W. Zhu and Z.D. Cai
The cause of postoperative failure after the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fracture with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) was analyzed, and the reoperative methods were examined. Nine failures of 308 femoral intertrochanteric fracture patients with PFNA were treated with femoral prosthesis total hip replaceme.. Read More»

Decreased risk of developing lung cancer in subjects carrying the CLPTM1L rs401681 (G>A) polymorphism: evidence from a meta-analysis
Authors: X.L. Zhang, X.J. Zhang, Y. Chen, Y.M. Zhang, Q. Zhang,C.X. Cao, D.Y. Gu, J.F. Shi, Y.L. Gong, J.F. Chen and C.J. Tang
A genome-wide association study revealed that a single nucleotide polymorphism, CLPTM1L - rs401681 (G>A), located at the 5p15.33 locus was signifi cantly associated with increased risk of various cancers; however, its association with lung cancer is currently inconclusive. In order to explore the relationship between this p.. Read More»

Multiple variants of TERT and CLPTM1L constitute risk factors for lung adenocarcinoma
Authors: X.F. Chen, S. Cai, Q.G. Chen, Z.H. Ni, J.H. Tang, D.W. Xu and X.B. Wang
Recent studies have shown that 5p15.33 is one of the chromosomal regions that is most consistently altered in lung cancer; common variants that are located in this region have been genotyped in various populations. However, the genetic contribution of these variants to carcinogenesis is relatively unknown. A clinic-based case-.. Read More»

Effect of montelukast on the expression of interleukin-18, telomerase reverse transcriptase, and Bcl-2 in the brain tissue of neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage
Authors: J.L. Liu, X.H. Zhao, D.L. Zhang, J.B. Zhang and Z.H. Liu
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of montelukast on the expression of interleukin (IL)-18, telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), and Bcl-2 in the brain tissue of neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). To establish the model of HIBD, 8% oxygen was applied to rats after the unilateral carotid artery was ligated. Twenty.. Read More»
