AIM: To determine the effect of electrical stimulation of lateral hypothalamic area(LHA) on gastric ischemia-reperfusion injury(GI-RI) in rats and to analyse its possible neuroregulatory mechanisms. METHODS: The methods of electrical stimulation(ES), chemical stimulation, electrolytic lesion(EL) and denervation were used to investigate the effect of LHA ES on gastric mucosal injury in rats subjected to 30 min gastric ischemia followed by 60 min reperfusion and to analyse the role of dorsal vagal complex(DVC), vagus and sympathetic nerve in this effect. RESULTS: ①Electrical stimulation of LHA and microinjection of L-glutamic acid into LHA obviously aggravated GI-RI; ②Electrolytic lesion of the LHA attenuated the GI-RI;③DVC lesion eliminated the effect of electrical stimulation of LHA on GI-RI; ④Vagotomy or sympathectomy eliminated the effect of electrical stimulation of LHA on GI-RI too.CONCLUSION: These results indicate that the LHA is a specific area in the CNS for exerting aggravative effects on the GI-RI; the DVC, vagus and sympathetic nerve may be involved in regulatory effects of LHA on GI-RI.

Objective To study human bocavirus (HBoV) induced respiratory tract infection in Guangdong Province in China. Methods HBoV was deteced by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology and was identified by DNA sequences. Results One strain of HBoV was detected and identified from 50 samples collected from children with acute respiratory tract infections. This was the first clinical case of HBoV infection reported in Guangdong and was named as GD-1 strain. The HBoV capsid protein (VP) gene amplified from the specimen by PCR was identified by sequencing and was compared with gene sequences in GenBank. Phylogenetic trees were constructed for sequence homology analysis. The nucleotides similarities between GD-1 and Beijing strains, France strains and Canada strains were over 98%, while the simlilarity was over 36% compared with Korea KNIH-2K6GJ2713 strain and over 77% compared with US NH4549 strain. Conclusion HBoV infection does exist in Guangdong Province. It is valuable to start systemic study on it.

Objective To investigate high risk factors associated with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in married women aged 25 to 54 years in Beijing. Methods From Mar. 2007 to Sep.2008, 6339 married women at age of 25 to 54 years were selected randomly by cross sectional survey in a total of 137 communities of 12 districts or counties in Beijing. The interview was carried out with unified questionnaires, gynecological examination. The cervical smear cytology and high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection of cervical secretion were detected. Women with abnormal cervical cytology underwent colposcopy and cervical biopsy. Odd ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of related high risk factors with CIN were studied by logistic regression analysis. Results Among 6339 women, the prevalence rate of CIN including 4 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) was 5. 90% (374/6339). By multinomial regression analysis, HR-HPV infection (95% CI: 9. 953 - 15.811 ), History of trichomonas vaginitis (95 % CI: 1. 046 -2. 104), oral contraceptives (95% CI: 1. 087 - 1. 806), age less than 45 years old ( 95% CI: 1. 069 -1. 828) were related with CIN. Conclusion Infection rate of HR-HPV is an independent risk factor of CIN, however, the history of trichomonas vaginitis, oral contraceptives and age less than 45 years old are related risk factors of CIN.

Background/Aims:
Previous studies have shown that diet and physical activity can influence constipation. However, the combined effect of diet and physical activity on constipation remains unclear.
Methods:
Constipation was defined based on stool consistency and frequency, while overall diet quality was assessed using Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 scores. Participants were categorized into low (metabolic equivalent [MET]-min/wk < 500) and high physical activitygroups (MET-min/wk ≥ 500). The association between diet and constipation across physical activity groups was analyzed using surveylogistic regression and restricted cubic splines.
Results:
Higher HEI-2015 scores were associated with reduced constipation risk in the high physical activity group when constipation was defined by stool consistency (odds ratio [OR], 0.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.97-0.99). However, in the low physical activity group, increased HEI-2015 scores did not significantly affect constipation risk (OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.97-1.05). Similar results were found when constipation was defined based on stool frequency. In the high physical activity group, increased HEI-2015 scores were significantly associated with a reduced constipation risk (OR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.94-0.98). Conversely, in the low physical activity group, increased HEI-2015 scores did not affect the risk of constipation (OR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.90-1.03).
Conclusions
Our findings suggest that a higher HEI-2015 score is negatively associated with constipation among individuals with high physical activity levels but not among those with low physical activity levels. This association was consistent when different definitions of constipation were used. These results highlight the importance of combining healthy diet with regular physical activity to alleviate constipation.
