Objective: Due to genetic factors might increase the risk of depression, this study investigated the genetic risk factors of depression in Chinese Han population by analyzing the association between 13 candidate genes and depression. Methods: 439 depression patients and 464 healthy controls were included in this case-control study. Case group consisted of 158 males and 281 females, aged (29.84±14.91) years old, who were hospitalized in three departments of the affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University including Affective Disorders Department, Adult Psychiatry Department and Geriatrics Department, from February 2020 to September 2021. The control group consisted of 196 males and 268 females, aged (30.65±12.63) years old. 20 loci of 13 candidate genes in all subjects were detected by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Age difference was compared using the student's t-test, the distributions of gender and genotype were analyzed with Pearson's Chi-square test. The analyses of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, allele frequency and the genetic association of depression were conducted using the corresponding programs in PLINK software. Results: PLINK analysis showed that SCN2A rs17183814, ABCB1 rs1045642, CYP2C19*3 rs4986893 and NAT2*5A rs1799929 were associated with depression before Bonferroni correction (χ2=10.340, P=0.001; χ2=11.010, P=0.001; χ2=9.781, P=0.002; χ2=4.481, P=0.034). The frequencies of minor alleles of above loci in the control group were 12.07%, 43.64%, 2.59% and 3.88%, respectively. The frequencies of minor alleles of loci mentioned above in the case group were 17.43%, 35.99%, 5.47% and 6.04%, respectively. OR values were 1.538, 0.726, 2.178 and 1.592, respectively. After 1 000 000 permutation tests using Max(T) permutation procedure, the four loci were still statistically significant, the empirical P-value were 0.002, 0.001, 0.003 and 0.042, respectively. However, only three loci including SCN2A rs17183814, ABCB1 rs1045642 and CYP2C19 rs4986893 had statistical significance after Bonferroni correction, the adjusted P-value were 0.026, 0.018 and 0.035, respectively. Conclusion: SCN2A rs17183814, ABCB1 rs1045642 and CYP2C19*3 rs4986893 were associated with depression's susceptibility in Chinese Han population. The A allele of SCN2A rs17183814 and CYP2C19*3 rs4986893 were risk factors for depression, while the T allele of ABCB1 rs1045642 was a protective factor for depression.

Objective To investigate the effect of CYP2D6 gene polymorphism on risperidone (RISP) metabolism in schizophrenic patients. Methods CYP2D6 allele polymorphisms including*10,*4,*41 and *2 was detected by real-time fluorescent PCR in 120 schizophrenic patients who have taken risperidone continually. Alleles without SNP mutations were classified as wild-type (WT). At the same time, serum risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone concentration of all patients were detected by mass spectrometric analysis. Some samples were selected for DNA sequencing of CYP2D6*10, which is the most common CYP2D6 allele in Oriental population. The 120 patients were divided into three groups according to their allele variants. Group 1 was defined as carriers of two functional alleles, group 2 was defined as carriers of one defective allele, group 3 was defined as carriers of two defective alleles. Genotype distributions, alleles frequencies, RISP, 9-oh-RISP, RISP+9-OH-RISP, 9-oh-RISP/RISP among three groups were calculated.Results Group 1 amount to 23 cases including 13 cases of WT/WT, 7 cases of*2/*2, 3 cases of WT/*2. Group 2 amount to 51 cases, including 38 cases of WT/*10, 8 cases of *2/*10, 1 case of *2/*41, 4 cases of WT/*41. Group 3 amount to 46 cases, including 44 cases of *10/*10, 2 cases of *10/*41. The*4 allele was not detected. The allele frequency of WT, *2, *10 and *41 was 29.6%, 10.8%, 56.7% and 2.9%, respectively. The 9-hydroxyrisperidone/risperidone-ratio of three groups were 15.24±5.77, 11.06±4.56 and 2.39 ± 1.06, respectively. There was a significant difference in 9-hydroxyrisperidone/risperidone-ratio between Group 3 and the first two groups (P<0.001). Conclusions The frequency of *10 allele was the highest among the subjects. The frequency of WT and*2 allele was over 95%in the population. Individuals carrying one defective allele of CYP2D6 will decrease the rate of risperidone metabolism slightly, while individuals carrying two defective alleles of CYP2D6 may decrease the rate of risperidone metabolism significantly.

Objective To investigate the relationship of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) allelic frequency and serum lipid levels in patients with Alzheimer′s disease (AD). Methods DNA microarray was used to detect the ApoE genotypes of AD patients (n = 200) and age-matched non-demented elderly control subjects (n = 159). Serum lipid levels was measured by Immunoturbidimetric assay at the same time. We analyzed the ApoE genotype distribution and the relationship of apolipoprotein E ( ApoE ) allelic frequency and serum lipid levels . Results The ApoE ε4 allelic frequencies (25.5%) in AD group is higher than that of the control group (7.9%) (P < 0.05). The ε2 allele was associated with a higher ApoE concentration, whereas with a mediate concentration in ε3 and the lowest concentration ( P < 0 . 05 ) in ε4 . Serum concentrations of ApoE showed no significant difference between AD patients and the healthy population who were with the same genotype (P > 0.05). Conclusion The ApoE levels are negatively related to ApoE ε4 allele frequency and have no significant differences with the same genotype in AD and the control group,which suggests that lower serum ApoE levels in AD patients is caused by higher ApoE ε4 allelic frequency in AD than in healthy population.
Objective To investigate the application value of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotyping by DNA microarray technology and the relationship between ApoE allelic frequency and serum ApoE levels in both healthy individuals and patients with Alzheimer ′s disease (AD).Methods This research is case-control study.DNA microarray was used to detect the ApoE genotypes of AD patients (n =280) and age-matched non-demented elderly control subjects ( n =230) .The cases and controls were collected in Guangzhou Huiai Hospital during July 2014 to September 2015.The accuracy of genotype results was verified by DNA sequencing.Serum ApoE levels were measured by immunoturbidimetric assay .The ApoE genotype distribution and the relationship between ApoE allelic frequency and serum ApoE levels were analyzed.The “t” test was used to compare the ApoE levels of AD patients and controls , variance analysis was used to analyze ApoE levels in the persons with different genotype .Results DNA microarray technology genotyping results were completely consistent with the results of DNA sequencing .In AD group, the ApoE genotype distribution were 2.9%(8 /280) for ε2ε3, 1.8% (5/280) for ε2ε4, 46.8% (131/280)for ε3ε3,45.4%(127 /280) for ε3ε4 and 3.1%(9 /280) for ε4ε4.While in the control group, the ApoE genotype distribution were 0.9%(2 /230) for ε2ε2, 12.6% (29/230)for ε2ε3, 1.3%(3 /230) forε2ε4, 70.0% (161 /230) for ε3ε3 and 15.2% (35 /230) for ε3ε4.The average serum concentrations of ApoE were (33.29 ±10.87)mg/L in AD patients and (41.28 ±10.95)mg/L in the controls.Among all participants, the average serum levels of ApoE were (50.86 ±6.21) mg/L for ε2 carriers, (38.78 ± 12.07)mg/L for ε3 carriers and (30.47 ±7.68)mg/L for ε4 carriers.In AD group,ApoE level of ε2, ε3,ε4 carriers is (50.31 ±9.08)mg/L, (38.30 ±7.60) mg/L and (32.86 ±5.93)mg/L respectively.In the control group, the ApoE level of ε2, ε3, ε4 carriers is (51.00 ±5.53)mg/L, (41.01 ±10.09)mg/L and (32.86 ±5.93)mg/L respectively.The ApoE levels of persons with different ApoE alleles are ε2 >ε3 >ε4. The difference is significant (F =89.6, P <0.05).However, the ApoE levels in persons with the same ApoE genotype between healthy individuals and AD patients have no significant difference ( t =0.981, 2.878 and 1.732 respectively, P >0.05) .Conclusions DNA microarray technology possesses high efficiency and favorable accuracy.The ε2 allele is associated with a higher ApoE concentration , ε3 allele with a mediate concentration and ε4 allele with a lowest concentration.Serum concentrations of ApoE showed no significant difference between AD patients and the healthy groups who have the same genotype .The primary cause of the low serum ApoE levels in AD patients is that the ApoE ε4 allelic frequencies of them are higher than that of the healthy persons.
Objective To investigate the association between cognitive impairment and levels of serum cortisol in patients with late - life depression(LLD). Methods We included 35 LLD patients with cognitive impairment,14 LLD patients without cognitive impairment and 25 normal controls. The Hamilton Depression Scale - 17 item( HAMD - 17)and Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)were used to assess the severity of depressive symptoms and the cognitive function,respectively. Serum cortisol levels were measured by radioimmunoassay. Results Serum cortisol levels in LLD patients with cognitive impairment were significantly higher than those in LLD patients without cognitive impairment and normal controls(All P < 0. 01). LLD patients with cognitive impairment in episode stage and those in remitted stage showed significantly higher serum cortisol levels than LLD patients without cognitive impairment in remitted stage and normal controls(All P < 0. 05). Conclusion The findings suggest that,in both episode and remitted stages,LLD patients with cognitive impairment show increased serum cortisol levels. High cortisol level might be associated with impaired cognitive function in LLD patients.

目的 检测不同水平同型半胱氨酸(HCY)患者5,10-亚甲基四氢叶酸还原酶(MTHFR)基因第677核苷酸的突变频率,探讨MTHFR基因多态性与不同HCY水平的相关性.方法 以HCY大于15 μmol/L的受检者(435例)作为实验组,将实验组按照HCY水平分成4组:15 μmol/L< HCY≤20 μmol/L为第一组;20 μmol/L<HCY≤25 μmol/L为第2组;25 μmol/L< HCY≤30μmol/L为第3组;HCY> 30 μmol/L为第4组,同时以HCY≤15 μmol/L的人群(229例)为对照组.用DNA微阵列技术检测实验组和对照组MTHFR基因第677核苷酸的突变,统计分析各组MTHFR基因型及等位基因频率分布.结果 MTHFR基因677位核苷酸由C变异为T与HCY水平显著相关(x2=180.16,P<0.0001),且随着HCY水平升高T等位基因频率呈增大趋势,经线性趋势检验有统计意义(x2=156.67,P<0.0001);同时,单独一组与对照组比较,MTHFR基因型和等位基因频率分布没有显著差异(x2=0.031,P>0.05).结论 MTHFR 677位等位基因由C突变为T是导致HCY水平明显升高的重要原因,而且是导致HCY> 30 μmol/L的主要原因;而HCY轻度升高(15 μmol/L< HCY≤20 μmol/L)可能为其它原因所致,并非MTHFR基因突变引起.
传染性疾病往往具有较大的传染性,易于大面积流行,且难以控制,严重危害人们生命健康,快速准确的筛查成为预防及控制其传播的重要手段之一。Micro RNA(mi RNA)是一类长度仅有约22nt的非编码单链微小RNA,广泛存在于动植物真核细胞中,主要通过与靶m RNA分子的3'端非编码区域(3'-untranslated region,3'UTR)完全或不完全互补配对,调控该m RNA分子的表达或转录后翻译;在细胞生长、发育、凋亡,肿瘤形成,病毒感染等多种生理病理过程中起重要作用。在病毒感染时,mi RNA调控病毒与宿主之间的相互作用,影响病毒感染的进程与结局;感兴趣的是,mi RNA其自身的表达对病毒感染具有一定的特异性。因此,mi RNA有望成为筛查病毒传染性疾病的临床标志物,目前已成为一热点研究领域。本文主要从循环体液中mi RNA的稳定性,mi RNA在病毒感染中的特异性表达,以及mi RNA检测技术方面做简要综述,并对mi RNA作为传染病一种新型检测标志物的可行性进行了初步的分析。
