Abstract:
Non-infectious uveitis is a blinding intraocular inflammatory disorder with an autoimmune pathogenesis. Like other autoimmune diseases, uveitis has multifactorial and polygenic aetiology. The results of this study have shown that polymorphisms of the ILIO and TNF genes influence the susceptibility and seventy of uveitis. These polymorphisms were either known to correlate with altered transcription levels, or linked with other polymorphisms positioned within regulatory conserved non-coding sequences. Thus the identification of specific genetic variants that confer susceptibility or resistance t

The pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF -a. and the immunoregulatory cytokine IL-IO have been implicated in acute rejection of kidney allografts. Similarly, the pro-fibrotic cytokine TGF-IJ 1 has been reported to be involved in the development of chronic rejection. It has also been shown that polymorphisms in the TNFA gene promoter (position -308) and in the TGF-IJI gene (at codon 25) correlate with differential production of these cytokines in vitro. Gene polymorphisms in the IL-IO promoter were also identified previously. However, their function had not been determined. Therefore, the initial part

Abstract:
The most important environmental risk factor for skin cancer is sunlight exposure. The genetic component is seen in the inherited genodermatoses, such as Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP), where there is a 1000-fold increased risk of skin cancer. Nucleotide excision repair (NER), the pathway responsible for removal of UV-induced DNA damage, is defective in XP patients. The XPB and XPD helicases are essential components of the NER pathway. Frequent polymorphisms have been reported in NER genes and polymorphisms in ERCC2, ERCC1 and XPF have been investigated for association with various types of cancer

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are single base variations among groups of individuals.

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II, an important step in the control of blood pressure. The gene encoding for ACE is subject to an insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism which is associated with different levels of the enzyme in serum. This polymorphism accounts for 47% of the variability in serum ACE concentrations between subjects but its relevance to tissue ACE is unknown. ACE inhibition increases kinin level, for example bradykinin. Kinins have been proposed be involved in the pathogenesis of cough due to ACE inhibitors, a common adverse effect in t

Briefly, some findings in my research are as follows: (1) The genetic variants of the CA repeats in IGF1 promoter 1 can affect the activity of promoter 1, and the CA repeat showed a suppressive effect on the activity of the promoter 1 of IGF1 gene. EMSA results have shown that the CA repeats could bind to certain nuclear protein. (2) The SNPs T/C (rs5742612) and T/A (rs2288377) can also affect the activity of the promoter 1 in IGF1 gene, and the activity of C-A haplotype is significantly higher than that of T-T haplotype. EMSA results have shown that the SNP T/A (rs2288377) could bind to certa

The majority of hypertension is essential hypertension, without known causes. Based upon the research evidence, the essential hypertension is a disease influenced by many genes, and the human angiotensinogen gene is the most outstanding one of the candidate genes. The plasma angiotensinogen concentration was known to be higher in the hypertensive patients than the normotensive persons. The change of 235th amino acid in the mature angiotensino

碩士<br>臺灣大學<br>臨床醫學研究所<br>96<br>Introduction Characteristics of the metabolic syndrome are abdominal obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, raised blood pressure, insulin resistance, prothrombotic and proinflammatory states. Patients with metabolic syndrome are at increased risk for developing diabetes mellitus (DM) and cardiovascular diseases. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear proteins that belong to the superfamily of nuclear hormone receptors. PPARs are found in liver, heart, liver and skeletal muscle. PPARs are ligand-induced transcription factors that regulate t

Our research aims to investigate Gadd45b gene expression and gene polymorphism with rheumatoid arthritis correlation. Ninety healthy contols,and 127 patients with RA were enrolled in this study.Total RNA and Genomic DNA of buffy coat cells were extract from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The Gadd45b gene expression was measured by the method

碩士<br>高雄醫學大學<br>牙醫學研究所<br>97<br>Objective: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is expressed in a wide range of tissues. It may be involved in various steps of the inflammatory response. Cytochrome P450(CYP)2J2 metabolizes arachidonic acid to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids(EETs). The EET are potent inhibitors of inflammation. We want to investigate the connection among ACE I/D gene polymorphism, CYP2J2 G-50T gene polymorphism , oral cancer patient and oral precancer patient compared with non-oral mucosal lesion subject with betel nut chewing habit control group. We also test the hypothesis that ACE
