Genotyping at +45T/G(rs2241766) and +276G/T(rs1501299) loci was performed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Plasma adiponectin levels were assessed using enzymelinked immunosorbent assay. OA severity was determined using the Kellgren-Lawrence(KL) grading system.RESULTS No significant associations were observed in the genotype distributions and allele frequencies at two loci of +45T/G and +276G/T polymorphisms in the ADIPOQ betweenknee OA patients and control subjects. There was a significant association between genotype distribution of +276G/T polymorphism and KL grade 2, 3 or 4(P = 0.037, P = 0.046, P = 0.016, respectively). At +45T/G locus, the percentage of GG genotype was notably greater in control subjects(13.40%) compared with OA subjects(1.70%)(P = 0.023). Plasma adiponectin was markedly decreased in OA subjects compared with control subjects(P = 0.03). Likewise, circulating adiponectin in OA subjects was notably lesser than that in control subjects in GG genotype of +45T/G(P = 0.029) and +276G/T polymorphisms(P = 0.012).CONCLUSION Polymorphisms +45T/G and +276G/T of the ADIPOQ gene might not be responsible for OA susceptibility among Thais.展开更多
为评价血液指标对冠状动脉狭窄早期诊断及分级的价值,选择冠状动脉狭窄患者125例(观察组)及同期健康体检者125例(对照组)进行了研究.检测了两组小而密低密度脂蛋白(small and dense low-density lipoprotein,sd-LDL)、血浆总脂联素、高...为评价血液指标对冠状动脉狭窄早期诊断及分级的价值,选择冠状动脉狭窄患者125例(观察组)及同期健康体检者125例(对照组)进行了研究.检测了两组小而密低密度脂蛋白(small and dense low-density lipoprotein,sd-LDL)、血浆总脂联素、高分子脂联素的水平.比较两组各血液指标,采用Gensini评分对冠状动脉狭窄进行分级,分析了不同分级患者各指标.结果表明:观察组血浆总脂联素、高分子脂联素水平均显著低于对照组(P<0.05),观察组sd-LDL高于对照组(P<0.05).血浆总脂联素、高分子脂联素均为轻度病变组>中度病变者>重度病变组,sd-LDL为轻度病变组<中度病变者<重度病变组(P<0.05).冠状动脉狭窄患者血浆总脂联素、高分子脂联素水平与总Gensini评分均呈显著的负相关关系,sd-LDL与总Gensini评分呈正相关关系(P<0.05).ROC分析结果显示:sd-LDL、血浆总脂联素、高分子脂联素对冠状动脉狭窄早期诊断的截断值分别为0.545、12.235、5.445 mg·L^(-1);曲线下面积(AUC)分别为0.724、0.751、0.759.三者联合诊断的AUC为0.931,其诊断效能高于各指标单独(P<0.05).说明sd-LDL、血浆总脂联素、高分子脂联素与冠状动脉狭窄严重程度分级相关,且上述指标可用于冠状动脉狭窄的早期诊断.展开更多
