Lack of association between the VEGFA gene polymorphisms and preterm birth in Korean women

Preterm birth (PTB), a pregnancy-related disease, is defined as a birth before 37 weeks of gestation. It is a major cause of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide, and its incidence rate is steadily increasing. Various genetic factors can contribute to the etiology of PTB. Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) gene is an important angiogenic gene and its polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with PTB development. Therefore, we conducted a case-control study to evaluate the association between VEGFA rs699947, rs2010963, and rs3025039 polymorphisms and PTB in Korean women. A total of 271 subjects (116 patients with PTB and 155 women at ≥38 weeks of gestation) were analyzed in this study. The genotyping of VEGFA gene polymorphisms was performed using polymerase chain reaction- restriction fragment length polymorphism. No significant association between the patients with PTB and the control groups was confirmed. In the combination analysis, we found a significant association between PTB and VEGFA rs699947 CC-rs2010963 GG-rs3025039 CC combination (odds ratio, 3.77; 95% confidence interval, 1.091 to 13.032; p = 0.031). The VEGFA rs699947, rs2010963, and rs3025039 polymorphisms might have no genetic association with the pathogenesis of PTB in Korean women. However, the combination analysis indicates the possibility that VEGFA acts in PTB pathophysiology. Therefore, larger sample sets and replication studies are required to further elucidate our findings.

Compared with the conventional steel structure, the high-strength steel structures are at more risk of brittle fracture, especiallyin cold regions. In the present study, a series of tests (such as uniaxial tensile test, Charpy impact test and three-point bendingtest) were carried out at low temperature to investigate the mechanical properties and toughness of Q460C steel and its buttwelded joint, fracture micro-mechanisms were analyzed as well. The ductility indices and the toughness indices all decreasewith temperature decreases, the heat affected zone (HAZ) in welded joint is more critical to fracture than the base material. The fracture toughness of high-strength steel Q460C is relatively lower than the other three conventional steels (i.e. Q235, Q345and Q390). In this study, rich experimental data were collected so as to provide reference for the fracture resistant design ofhigh-strength steel structures in cold regions.

Background: More and more research indicate that the immediately early response gene 3 (IER3) is involved inmany biological provesses, such as apoptosis and immunoreaction, as well as viral infection, tumorigenesis and tumour progression. Methods: Here we describe the construction of an eukaryotic expression vector containing IER3 gene and its expression in A549 cells as assessed through fluorescence microscopyand Western-blotting. Results: Fluorescence detection displayed that GFP in cytoplasm was high during 48 and 72 hours post-transfection. In addition, Western blotting showed significant increase in IER3 gene expression in the transfected cells compared with controls. Conclusion: The recombinate plasmid expression vector was constructed successfully, which may provide a basis for further exploration of function of IER3 in lung cancer.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between the efficacy and safety of different doses of thalidomide (Thal) plus dexamethasone (Dex) as the initial therapy in elderly patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). Methods: Clinical data of 28 elderly patients with newly diagnosed MM who underwent the TD regimen as the initial therapy were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups according to the maximal sustained dose of Thal: lower dose (group A) and higher dose (group B). The overall response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AES) were compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 28 patients were followed up with a median of 18 months. The ORR was 60.1%. The median response time and PFS were 2.0 and 17.0 months, respectively. The mean sustained dose of Thal in group B was significantly higher than group A (292.9 mg v 180.4 mg, P=0.01). There was no significantly difference in ORR (57.1% v 64.3%, P=1.00) and PFS (9.63months v 17.66 months, P=0.73) between groups A and B. During the follow up, only five patients died (<40%) and, therefore, median OS values were not available. It is estimated, however, that the mean survival time in the two groups was 35.6 and 33.4 months (P>0.05), respectively. All of the patients tolerated the treatment well. The incidence of AES in patients with a grading above 3 in group B was significantly higher than in group A (P=0.033). Conclusions: The TD regimen results in a high response rate and manageable AES as the initial therapy in elderly patients with MM. TD should be considered as the front line regimen for the treatment of elderly patients with MM in areas with financial constraints. The clinical response can be achieved at a low dose Thal with minimal toxicity.
