| 1 | Interleukin-10 gene polymorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma susceptibility:A meta-analysis显示文摘AIM: To assess the association between Interleu-kin-10 (IL-10) gene IL-10-1082 (G/A), IL-10-592(C/A), IL-10-819 (T/C) polymorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) susceptibility.METHODS: Two investigators independently searched the Medline, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Chinese Biomedicine Database. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% conf idence intervals (95% CIs) for IL-10 polymorphisms and HCC were cal-culated in a fixed-effects model (the Mantel-Haenszel method) and a random-effects model (the DerSimonian and Laird method) when appropriate. RESULTS: This meta analysis included seven eligiblestudies, which included 1012 HCC cases and 2308 controls. Overall, IL-10-1082 G/A polymorphism was not associated with the risk of HCC (AA vs AG + GG, OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 0.90-1.37). When stratifying for ethnicity, the results were similar (Asian, OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 0.87-1.44; non-Asian, OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 0.75-1.60). In the overall analysis, the IL-10 polymorphism at position -592 (C/A) was identified as a genetic risk factor for HCC among Asians; patients carrying the IL-10-592*C allele had an increased risk of HCC (OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.12-1.49). No association was observed between the IL-10-819 T/C polymorphism and HCC susceptibility (TT vs TC + CC, OR = 1.02, 95% CI = 0.79-1.32).CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis suggests that IL-10-592 A/C polymorphism may be associated with HCC among Asians. IL-10-1082 G/A and IL-10-819 T/C polymorphisms were not detected to be related to the risk for HCC. | Yong-Gang Wei, Fei Liu, Bo Li, Xi Chen, Yu Ma, Lv-Nan Yan, Tian-Fu Wen, Ming-Qing Xu, Wen-Tao Wang, Jia-Yin YangYong-Gang Wei, Fei Liu, Bo Li, Xi Chen, Yu Ma, Lv-Nan Yan, Tian-Fu Wen, Ming-Qing Xu, Wen-Tao Wang, Jia-Yin Yang, Department of Liver and Vascular Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610041, Sichuan Prov- ince, China Author contributions: Wei YG and Liu F designed the study, collected and analyzed the data and wrote the manuscript Li B collected and analyzed the data and wrote the manuscript Chen X and Ma Y collected and analyzed the data Yan LN analyzed the data and contributed to the discussion Wen TF and Xu MQ revised the manuscript Wang WT and Yang JY contributed to the discussion Wei YG and Liu F contributed equally to this work. | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,34: | 3 |
| 3 | Durable Asphalt Pavements Are Self Healing显示文摘The traffic volume and the number of heavy vehicles are growing continuously. Considering the continuous traffic flow and the limited time available for road maintenance,it is very important to design a durable pavement system. Asphalt pavements with a healing capability are believed to be very useful since they can extend the pavement service life thanks to rest periods and hot summers. In order to design durable asphalt pavements,research in understanding and upgrading the self-healing capability of bituminous materials in time is of major importance. The self healing capability of bituminous mastic was evaluated in this research with a direct tension healing test. In the test program,different healing times,crack status and modifications were applied. The results indicate that elastic recovery and flow capacity are important factors for the self healing capability of bituminous materials at different crack phases as simulated with the direct tension test. | QIU J VAN DE VEN M F C WU S P YU J Y MOLENAAR A A A | 2010 | 武汉理工大学学报2010,32,17: | 2 |
