Highlights: 1. The effects of self-stress on the uniaxial compression of concrete filled steel tube column were investigated; 2. Favorable improvements in the ultimate bearing capacity of HSS-CFST columns were observed; 3. Analytical predictions for evaluating the compressive bearing capacity of HSS-CFST columns were proposed.
Background: The engulfment and cell motility 1 (ELMO1) and interleukin-8 (IL8) gene polymorphisms have been previously implicated in diabetic nephropathy (DN) susceptibility. However, the results are inconsistent. We aimed to examine this issue by systematic meta-analysis. Methods: An electronic search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang Database to identify all the eligible studies. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to investigate the associations. All statistical analyses were performed by STATA 12.0. Results: Of the 11 studies included, 9 studies were performed to detect EMLO1 rs741301 polymorphism; 5 studies were used to examine IL-8 rs4073 polymorphism. The results revealed no significant association between EMLO1 rs741301 polymorphism and DN risk. While, stratified analysis by ethnicity indicated that EMLO1 rs741301 polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of DN risk among Asians (GG vs. GA +AA: OR= 1.840, 95% CI= 1.338-2.529, P= 0.000; GG vs. AA: OR= 1.834, 95% CI= 1.309-2.569, P= 0.000; G vs. A: OR= 1.222, 95% CI= 1.053-1.417, P= 0.008). As for IL-8 rs4073 polymorphism, a positive correlation between this gene polymorphism and DN risk was found (AA+AT vs. TT: OR= 1.450, 95% CI= 1.166-1.802, P= 0.001; AT vs. TT: OR= 1.420, 95% CI= 1.129-1.786, P= 0.003; AA vs. TT: OR= 1.553, 95% CI= 1.094-2.203, P= 0.014; A vs. T: OR= 1.291, 95% CI= 1.102-1.512, P= 0.002). After stratified population by ethnicity, the results in Caucasians remained significant (AA+AT vs. TT: OR= 1.770, 95% CI= 1.354-2.315, P= 0.000; AT vs. TT: OR= 1.733, 95% CI= 1.304-2.302, P= 0.000; AA vs. TT: OR= 1.939, 95% CI= 1.263-2.976, P= 0.002; A vs. T: OR= 1.494, 95% CI= 1.227-1.820, P= 0.000). Conclusions: This meta-analysis indicates that the GG genotype of EMLO1 rs741301 polymorphism and the A allele of IL-8 rs4073 polymorphism might be risk factors for the development of DN.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
