Article Synopsis
- A study examined the link between the hOGG1 Ser326Cys gene polymorphism and coronary artery lesions in 323 diabetes patients who underwent coronary angiography.
- Patients were divided into three genotypes (Cys/Cys, Ser/Ser, Ser/Cys) and various clinical data, including mRNA expression and 8-OHdG levels, were analyzed.
- Results indicated that the Cys/Cys genotype had higher levels of 8-OHdG and hOGG1 mRNA, and was associated with more severe coronary artery lesions compared to the other genotypes.
Objective: To determine the normal values for thromboelastography (TEG) in Chinese healthy adult volunteers residing in Beijing for over three years and compare them with those of the manufacturer's.
Methods: A total of 137 healthy adult volunteers were enrolled from June 2010 to August 2010. The technique was standardized with citrated blood and kaolin activator.
Objective: Gastroenteritis is a major cause of childhood morbidity and mortality worldwide. Adenovirus AdV is recognized to be one of the most important pathogens associated with severe dehydrating gastroenteritis. Studies reported elsewhere have shown that about 8%-10% of cases with infantile diarrhea are caused by AdV and in some areas AdV diarrhea even occurred in the form of outbreaks.

The causative role of HBoV in human gastroenteritis remains uncertain, and, to our knowledge, no previous case-control study has studied the relationship between HBoV and gastroenteritis.
Methods: We conducted a case-control study that examined stool samples from 397 children with diarrhea and from 115 asymptomatic control subjects.
