简介:目的探讨血浆纤溶酶原激活物抑制剂-1基因启动子区4G/5G多态性与复发脑梗死之间的关系.方法应用PCR技术和琼脂糖电泳对58例初发脑梗死患者、64例复发脑梗死患者进行了API-1基因启动子4G/5G多态性的检测和分析,并与50例非脑血管疾病对照比较.结果两组脑梗死患者PAI-1基因启动子区4G/5G多态性的基因型频率和等位基因频率与对照组分别比较均有统计学差异(P<0.05),但复发脑梗死组患者PAI-1基因启动子区4G/5G多态性的基因型频率和等位基因频率与初发脑梗死组比较无统计学差异(P>0.05).结论PAI-1基因启动子区4G/5G多态性是中国人群脑梗死发病的遗传学危险因素,但可能与复发脑梗死无关.
简介:1998年5月,当惊艳世界的第一台iMac发布时.它一下吸引了全世界的眼球。一体化的创意加上“草莓蓝”的色彩,突破了个人电脑以往的呆板.成为后来IT业竞相模仿的标准。时间不觉又过去六年.iMac早已更新换代。圆头圆脑的CRTiMacG3已为LCD台灯iMacG4所替代。六年里苹果共卖出750万台iMac.成为世界上最畅销的单一品牌一体化电脑系列。近几个月新一代iMacG5的传言甚嚣尘上.苹果公司却因为IBMG5芯片生产遇到难题而延迟了发表的时间。正是千呼万唤始出来.8月31日开幕的巴黎《苹果世界展》上,iMacG5终于亮出了庐山真面目。
