Objective: To explore the association between alpha-adducin (ADD1) G/W460 and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in Chinese.
Methods: Samples of peripheral blood were collected from 456 patients with ICH diagnosed by CT or MRI from 7 clinical centers in China and 454 age, sex, and geographically matched subjects as controls. The ADD1 G/W460 polymorphism was detected by PCR. Information about prior exposure to various potential risk factors was collected by questionnaire survey.
Results: The distribution of ADD1gene G460W polymorphisms in the ICH patients and controls were in agreement with the Hardy-Weinberg proportion. The prevalence of 460W allele among ICH cases was 82.2%, higher than that in the controls (76.0%, crude odds ratio, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.05 to 2.05). The ADD1 460W allele was still significantly associated with ICH after adjustment for hypertension and other ICH putative risk factors (adjusted odds ratio, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.88).
Conclusion: Alpha-adducin gene G/W 460 polymorphism is significantly associated with the risk of ICH. This association does not appear to be mediated by established ICH risk factors, specifically hypertension status.

Recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) affects 15-36% of children with acute pancreatitis (AP) and may progress to chronicity. To determine the etiology and evolution of RAP, a descriptive retrospective cohort study was conducted in patients aged 1-18 years. Twelve patients with RAP were included out of 79 with AP, and demographic, etiological, clinical, analytical, and imaging data were collected.

The autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is presented with many clinical symptoms. The transcription factor fork head box protein 3 (Foxp3) is expressed on regulatory T (T-reg) cells and essential for its development and function. Functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Foxp3-3279 (rs3761548 C/A) gene influence SLE pathogenesis.

Purpose: Subthreshold depression refers to a condition involving clinically significant depressive symptoms that fall short of meeting the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder (MDD). Identifying risk and protective factors associated with the progression of subthreshold depression in early life is essential for timely prevention. However, there is limited research on this topic among early adolescents.
