基于生物信息学的肥厚型心肌病易感基因TNNC1单核苷酸多态性致病表型分析

肥厚型心肌病(HCM)是一种常见的遗传性心脏病,是青少年及年轻运动员心源性猝死的最主要原因之一,其分子遗传学基础为基因突变。TNNC1是HCM的重要致病基因之一,目前仅发现其少量非同义单核苷酸多态性(nsSNPs)位点与HCM发病相关,但该基因其他nsSNPs数量较多,结合临床进行实验遗传检测其基因型与表型的关系,工作量巨大,尚不可行。因此,采用生物信息学方法,从dbSNP数据库中筛选出TNNC1基因全部的nsSNPs,联合4款(Mutation Taster、PolyPhen-2、PhD-SNP和MutPred)专业软件,进行有害性分级筛选和致病关联预测,最后进行突变蛋白三维结构建模及可视化分析。结果显示,首次从TNNC1基因102个nsSNPs位点中预测出疾病相关的18个(G159D、S69R、P52R、D149G、D3V、G140E、N51K、D151V、M47R、G110C、A23D、G140R、K158N、C35Y、R147C、L48P、F74C和V44G)高风险nsSNPs。基于生物信息学方法,以TNNC1基因的nsSNPs为示范,分析其nsSNPs与疾病表型的关系,这为其他遗传疾病致病基因nsSNPs的关联分析打下理论研究基础,具有重要的参考价值。     

2型糖尿病患者血清SUA和CysC水平与糖尿病视网膜病变的关系

目的：探讨血清尿酸(SUA)、胱抑素C(CysC)水平与糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)的关系。

方法：前瞻性研究。选取2019-05/2021-05本院收治无DR的2型糖尿病(T2DM)患者53例和DR患者83例，DR患者中包括非增殖型糖尿病视网膜病变(NPDR)47例、增殖型糖尿病视网膜病变(PDR)36例。另选取同期体检中心体检健康者48人作为对照组。比较受试者血清学指标，尿酸氧化酶法检测SUA水平，免疫比浊法检测血清CysC含量，Spearman相关性分析血清SUA、CysC与其他血清学指标的相关性，多因素线性逐步回归法分析血清SUA、CysC的影响因素，使用受试者工作特征曲线(ROC)分析血清SUA、CysC对DR预测效能。

结果：T2DM组、NPDR组和PDR组的体质量指数(BMI)、收缩压(SBP)均明显高于对照组(均P<0.05)，PDR组的SBP均明显高于T2DM组和NPDR组(均P<0.05)，NPDR组和PDR组糖尿病病程均明显高于T2DM组(均P<0.05)，PDR组糖尿病病程明显高于NPDR组(P<0.05)。对照组、T2DM组、NPDR组、PDR组纳入对象中空腹血糖(FPG)、糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)、SUA、CysC水平呈逐渐明显升高趋势(均P<0.001)，PDR组的低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)、甘油三酯(TG)水平明显高于对照组(均P<0.05)，而高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)水平明显低于对照组(P<0.05)。血清SUA水平与FPG、HbA1c、TC、TG水平呈正相关(r_s=0.564、0.631、0.513、0.408，P<0.001)，与HDL-C、LDL-C无相关性(r_s=-0.061、0.035，P>0.05)； 血清 CysC水平与FPG、HbA1c、TC、TG水平呈正相关(r_s=0.524、0.692、0.395、0.435，P<0.001)，与HDL-C、LDL-C无相关性(r_s=-0.012、0.049，P>0.05)，FPG、HbA1c、TC、TG是血清SUA、CysC水平影响因素(P<0.001)。SUA、CysC联合检测时曲线下面积(AUC)(0.892，95%CI：0.840～0.944，敏感性71.1%，特异性94.3%)显著高于其单独检测AUC\〖SUA(0.807，95%CI：0.735～0.879，敏感性69.9%，特异性75.5%)、CysC(0.763，95%CI：0.684～0.841，敏感性69.9%，特异性75.5%)\〗(均P<0.05)。

结论：随着DR病情严重程度加重而血清SUA、CysC水平逐渐升高。血清SUA、CysC联合检测可提高DR诊断预测效能。     

RWMAs in critically ill patients with non-obstructed coronary arteries

Introduction

Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is estimated to occur in 10%–25% of the general intensive care unit (ICU) population and is frequently seen as regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMAs). Although RWMA is mostly attributed to myocardial ischemia or infarction, some studies have suggested that nonischemic RWMA might also be prevalent. We sought to establish that RWMA can be seen in critically ill patients with normal coronary arteries and to explore reasons for RWMA in this population.

Methods

In this retrospective study, data from the hospital angiography register and the ICU register were collated between 2012 and 2019. Patients were identified who underwent angiography in conjunction with their ICU stay and had RWMA on echocardiography. Patients were divided into either those with non-obstructed or those with obstructed coronary arteries. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) examinations were reviewed if they had been performed on patients with non-obstructed coronaries.

Results

We identified 53 patients with RWMA and non-obstructed coronary arteries and 204 patients with RWMA and obstructed coronary arteries. Patients with non-obstructed coronary arteries were more often female, younger, and had fewer cardiovascular risk factors. They less commonly had ST elevation, but more frequently had T-wave inversion or serious arrhythmias. Troponin levels were higher in patients with obstructed coronary arteries, but NT-proBNP was similar between the groups. There were no differences in risk-adjusted 90-day mortality between patients with non-obstructed versus obstructed coronary arteries (OR 1.21, [95% CI 0.56–2.64], p = .628). In those with non-obstructed coronary arteries, follow-up echocardiography was available for 38 patients, of whom 30 showed normalization of cardiac function. Of the 14 patients with non-obstructed coronary arteries on whom cMRI was performed, 7 had a tentative diagnosis of Takotsubo syndrome or myocardial stunning; 4 had a myocardial infarction (preexisting in 3 cases); 1 patient had acute myocarditis; 1 patient had post-myocarditis; and 1 patient was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy.

Conclusion

RWMA can be seen to occur in critically ill patients in the absence of coronary artery obstruction. Several conditions can cause regional hypokinesia, and cMRI is useful to evaluate the underlying etiology.
