Objective To investigate the relationship between intra-abdominal fat area(IAFA)in male with abdominal obesity and glycometabolism related indicators. Methods Ninety-four obesity males,aged from 21 to 62 years old,were selected as our subjects. They were divided into abdominal obesity group(n = 70)and non-abdominal obesity group( n = 24). The general information of all subjects was recorded. The indexes of height,weight,waist circumference,hip circumference,body mass index(BMI)were measured. The fasting oral glucose tolerance test was performed. The levels of blood glucose(0,1,2 h)and insulin(0,1,2 h)were measured,and insulin resistance index was calculated. MRI measurement was applied to calculate the IAFA. Compared the difference between the two groups in term of the level of blood glucose,insulin and insulin resistance index,and analyzed the correlation between glycometabolism related indicators and IAFA. Results BMI,waist circumference,hip circumference,insulin resistance index and IAFA in abdominal obesity group were (28. 67 ± 4. 20)kg/ m2 ,(99. 75 ± 4. 07)cm,(104. 42 ± 7. 62)cm,2. 60 ± 1. 80,(153. 06 ± 53. 23)cm2 respectively,higher than those in non-abdominal obesity group((21. 80 ± 1. 97)kg/ m2 ,(79. 50 ± 10. 05)cm, (91. 86 ± 4. 49)cm,1. 52 ± 0. 73,(71. 78 ± 25. 48)cm2 ),and the differences were statistically significant(t= - 7. 704,- 9. 583,- 7. 618,- 2. 877,- 7. 184,P < 0. 05). The level of blood glucose at 0,1,2 h of patient in abdominal obesity group were(5. 89 ± 1. 36)mmol/ L,(10. 55 ± 3. 07)mmol/ L,and(8. 41 ± 3. 63) mmol/ L,higher than that in non-abdominal obesity group((5. 29 ± 0. 53)mmol/ L,(8. 76 ± 1. 96)mmol/ L, (6. 54 ± 1. 50)mmol/ L). Meanwhile,The insulin at 0,1,2 h of man in abdominal obesity group were(9. 71 ± 5. 05)mU/ L,(83. 29 ± 64. 51)mU/ L,(63. 56 ± 21. 09)mU/ L),significantly higher than those in non-abdominal obesity group((6. 42 ± 2. 96)mU/ L,(33. 00 ± 19. 82)mU/ L,(63. 56 ± 21. 09)mU/ L),and the differences were significant( t = - 2. 098,- 2. 671;- 2. 447,- 3. 010;- 3. 784,- 3. 089;P < 0. 05). The IAFA in abdominal obesity was positively correlated with age,BMI,waist circumference,hip circumference,blood glucose(0,1,2 h)insulin(0,2 h)and insulin resistance index(r = 0. 254,0. 533,0. 521,0. 615,0. 245,0. 315, 0. 294,0273,0. 249,0. 225,P < 0. 05 ). After adjustment for confounding factors,age( x1 ),abdominal circumference(x2)and insulin resistance index(x3)were related to IAFA(y = 1. 369x1 + 4. 472x2 + 25. 072x3- 333. 626). Conclusion Compared with patients with non-abdominal obesity,the IAFA of patient with abdominal obesity with abdominal fat area size is associated with insulin resistance.

Aim To investigate the release feature of ginsenoside Rd solid lipid nanoparticles (Rd-SLN) in vitro,and to clarify the difference in absorption of Rd-SLN from varied rat intestinal segments and pharmacokinetic properties in vivo. Methods Dialysis method was used to determine ginsenoside Rd release rate from nanoparticles in vitro. Perfusion method was used to study the intestinal absorption of Rd-SLN in rat. HPLC assay was established to determine the concentration of ginsenoside Rd in plasma. After intragastric administration,the concentrations of drug in rat blood at different time points were recorded to investigate the absorption and pharmacokinetics of Rd-SLN. Results The release of ginsenoside Rd from Rd-SLN was slowed down and presented the property of sustained release. There was no significant difference between the absorption rate of Rd-SLN and control solution in duodenum and jejunum. However,it was obviously different in ileum and colon. Comparing with other intestinal segments,significantly higher percentage of Rd-SLN was absorbed in colon. In Rd-SLN group,the concentration of ginsenoside Rd in blood was maintained,and the Cmax,MRT,AUMC,and AUC were all increased. Conclusions Rd-SLN possesses sustained-release effect. The colon is the preferable absorption site for Rd-SLN in intestinal tract. Rd-SLN can enhance the oral bioavailability of ginsenoside Rd.

Objective To compare the number of lymph node dissected by intraoperative lymphatic mapping guided D2 gastrectomy and that by standard D2 gastrectomy plus lymphadenectomy in patients of advanced gastric cancer. Methods In this study 20 advanced gastric cancer cases received intraoperative peritumor injection of carbon nanoparticles suspension ( group 1 ) and D2 lymphadenectomy was guided by the black-stained lymph nodes. 21 cases undergoing standard D2 lymphadenectomy served as controls (group 2). The number of lymph nodes removed and the condition of lymphatic metastasis in two groups, blackstained lymph nodes in group 1, and postoperative complications were compared. Results The average lymph nodes dissected in group 1 (35. 1 ± 13.4) were higher than in control group (26.2 ±7.8). The differences were statistically significant (t =2. 126, P =0. 034). The number of removed N2 and N3 lymph nodes in group 1 were more than that in control group. The total black-stained ration of lymph nodes was 52. 7% in group 1. The positive rate of lymph nodes was higher in black-stained lymph nodes (27.6%) than in unstained lymph nodes ( 10. 8% ) in group 1 and in control group ( 16. 9% ). The differences were also statistically significant ( x2 = 6. 034, P = 0. 016; x2 = 5. 142, P = 0. 023 ). Postoperative afferent loop obstruction developed in one case in group 1. Conclusions Lymphatic mapping guided D2 radical gastrectomy plus lymphadenectomy increases the number of lymph nodes dessected and improves the efficiency of positive lymph nodes excision for patients of advanced gastric cancer.

Objective To study the changes in interleukin-32 (IL-32) in rats with Klebsiella bacillus pneumonia and approach its significance. Methods Seventy-two Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were divide into control group,model group and experimental group by the method of random digits table,then the experimental group was subdivided into 4 hours and 1,3 and 5 days experimental subgroups(each n=6). The rat model of Klebsiella bacillus pneumonia was established by injection of 0.3 mL Klebsiella bacterial suspension into the trachea. Before the establishment of the model in the experimental group,IL-32 inhibitory agent,protease activated receptor-2(PAR2) was injected into the abdominal cavity. After model establishment,at different time points,blood was collected via tail vein to observe the changes in serum levels of IL-32,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),IL-6 and IL-8 in all the groups. The lungs were removed and stained with hematoxylin-eosin(HE)method to investigate the histopathological changes of the lung tissues under the light microscope. Results Compared to the control group, with the prolongation of time the levels of IL-32,TNF-α,IL-8 and IL-6 were increased gradually in the model group,and reached their peaks at 3 days〔IL-32(ng/L):84.40±28.24 vs. 18.57±3.86,t=5.544,P=0.002;TNF-α(ng/L):79.27±14.64 vs. 17.82±3.86, t=9.994, P=0.000;IL-8(ng/L):55.85±10.90 vs. 16.66±3.76,t=8.544, P=0.000;IL-6(ng/L):56.65±2.57 vs. 28.48±2.11,t=19.693,P=0.000〕;PAR2 could inhibit above indexes significantly,there was statistical difference at 3 days compared with the model group〔IL-32(ng/L):54.13±6.68 vs. 84.40±28.24,t=2.560,P=0.046;TNF-α(ng/L):49.12±3.56 vs. 79.27±14.64,t=4.901,P=0.003;IL-8 (ng/L):22.95±2.52 vs. 55.85±10.90,t=7.204,P=0.000;IL-6(ng/L):36.49±2.63 vs. 56.65±2.57,t=13.443, P=0.000〕. Under the light microscope,the inflammatory changes in the lung tissue in experimental group were milder than those in the model group. Conclusion As a pro-inflammatory cytokine,IL-32 can induce the production of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-8,and the inhibition of IL-32 production may play a role in suppression of the development of Klebsiella bacillus pneumonia.
