(Reporter Fu DongHong The reporter Zhou XiaoPing) Peking University the intersection of public health and the intersection of institute and Li set up bright, seminar, Professor of YongHua, Hu through the twins who are worked hard to complete 5 years ' Commonly called as " twins " )The crowd studies, pass expert qualification recently in epidemiology. This project has set up to twins and registered the system, has formed the formation of twins that can be used in chronic disease and study.
Since 2001, this seminar set up China firstly and is based on crowd under the medical fund support of China of U.S.A., register the system on behalf of the twins of the North and the South, city and countryside, the work on the spot is launched in Beijing, Shanghai, Qingdao and Lishui separately. The quantity of twins registering at present is 8368 pairs. Register system, investigate overall epidemiology to 1260 pairs of adult twins ' Including life style, disease history, family history and last the same living environment,etc.) , clinical physical examination and medical science are examined, follow up a case by regular visits to 579 ones that have paid healthy and relevant factor to twins, the adult twins' biological sample is gathered and stored.
Researchers pass repeated exploration and practise, have found it by tertiary health care network and method that the public media raises to twins extensively, registers and launches investigations accurately of health epidemic prevention, and expand, register range constantly, the intersection of twins and the intersection of research and public platform not formed can launch chronic disease, psychology, accuse of cigarette research in many aspects.
Subject the intersection of person in charge one of and moustache China introduce to reporter forever, twins to launch the intersection of disease and environment and hereditary the intersection of epidemiology and Mr. Right whose cause of disease study, it is a very unique method that complicated disease studies that twins study. Through comparing identical twin, fraternal twin or consistency that properties take place, can judge the function of heredity and environmental factor. Because identical twin's difference of properties thinks that relates to environmental factor, and fraternal twin's difference of properties thinks it is caused by heredity and environmental factor. Because twins are at age, palace internal environment and good match of the growth environment, make, utilize the intersection of twins and materials look for exchanging sensing corresponding chain and related analysis of gene more effective.
