Association of IL-18 polymorphisms with rheumatoid arthritis: a meta-analysis
Authors: L.L. Li1, X.F. Deng2, J.P. Li3, N. Ning1, X.L. Hou1 and J.L. Chen1
Interleukin-18 (IL-18), an important proinflammatory cytokine, has been reported to play a potential pathological role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Results from previous studies on the association between IL-18 polymorphisms and RA are conflicting. To clarify this, an updated meta-analysis of all available studies on IL-18 polymorphisms and RA was conduc.. Read More»

Meta-analysis of epidemiological studies demonstrates significant association of PTGS2 polymorphism rs689470 and no significant association of rs20417 with prostate cancer
Authors: H.-T. Zhang, Y. Xu, Z.-H. Zhang and L. Li
Evidence is accumulating that chronic inflammation has an important role in prostate cancer. Two common polymorphisms in the prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) gene, rs20417 and rs689470, have been found to alter the risk for prostate cancer, but the various studies are not in agreement. To derive a more precise est.. 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»

Association among XRCC1, XRCC3, and BLHX gene polymorphisms and chromosome instability in lymphocytes from patients with endometriosis and ovarian cancer
Authors: M.S. Monteiro, D.B. Vilas Boas, C.B. Gigliotti and D.M.F. Salvadori
Endometriosis is a complex disease that has both benign and malignant characteristics. It affects 5-10% of women of reproductive age. Studies have demonstrated the existence of common genetic changes in endometriosis and ovarian cancer, suggesting a possible association between these 2 diseases. However, the mechanisms that le..

Structural chromosomal abnormalities in couples in cases of recurrent spontaneous abortions in Jilin Province, China
Authors: H.-T. Fan, M. Zhang, P. Zhan, X. Yang, W.-J. Tian and R.-W. Li
Recurrent spontaneous abortions (RSAs) occur in approximately 15 to 20% of all clinically recognizable pregnancies. Structural chromosome abnormalities result in increased risk of pregnancy loss. Parental chromosomal abnormalities are an important genetic cause of RSAs. Some cytogenetic investigations have been performed in various countries and regions t.. Read More»

Expression of EpCAM and Wnt/ ?²-catenin in human colon cancer
Authors: F.Q. Zhou, Y.M. Qi, H. Xu, Q.Y. Wang, X.S. Gao and H.G. Guo
The aims of this study were to explore the correlation between the expression of EpCAM and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in human colon cancer and its clinical significance for the evaluation of cancer prognosis. Samples from colon cancer, para-carcinoma, or benign intestinal tissue from individual patients (50) and from normal intestinal mucosal tissues.. Read More»

Authors: R. Zhou, J.L. Xu, D. Wu and J.L. Tang
In this study, we investigated the prognostic factors of infantile rotavirus (RV) infection. A total of 102 infants with RV enteritis were divided into 2 groups according to the standards of improvement and cure at the time of discharge from the hospital: improvement group (N = 58; 47 males and 11 females with an average age of 15.19 ± 5.03 months)..
