Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2000;0(10):-
AIM: To explore the change of the amount of GLUT4 protein at the plasma membrane of the rat skeletal muscle after high-fat feeding. METHODS: The animals were divided into three groups (ten for each): group I: control; group II: high-fat feeding; group III: high-fat feeding + dietary treatment. The rat model of insulin resistance (IR) was made by feeding high-fat diet for eight weeks. And then insulin-resistant rats were fed with chow diet for 4 weeks. Fasting plasma glucose and fasting serum insulin levels were measured before and after dietary treatment, respectively. Insulin treatment was achieved by intraperitoneal injection of insulin (10 unit insulin per kg body weight) 15 minutes before killing the animals. The right hindlimb skeletal muscle was rapidly dissected. Then the expression of GLUT4 protein at the plasma membrane in all the animals was assessed with Western bloting. RESULTS: The GLUT4 content at the plasma membrane in high-fat-fed rat skeletal muscle was significantly lower (about 31%) than that in controls (P

Objective To detect Porphyromonas gingivalis and clinical index in subgingival specimens after removal of orthodontic appliances and to evaluate clinical index and P.gingivalis factors associated with orthodontic appliances during an episode of gingival inflammation and the impact of appliance removal on periodontal health.Methods Choose 20 patients prepare to removal of orthodontic appliances.Plaque index(PLI),sulcus bleeding index(SBI) and probing depth(PD) of observed teeth were examined and subgingival plaques were collected at prior to appliance removal(baseline) and 1,3 and 6 months after appliance removal.The numbers of P.gingivalis,total bacteria,the proportion of P.gingivalis and the prevalence of P.gingivalis in the samples were detected with the TaqMan real-time PCR.Results The prevalence of P.gingivalis decreased from baseline to the 6th month after fixed appliance removal in two groups,and significant change was found in 6th month(P < 0.05); The numbers of P.gingivalis significantly reduced from baseline to the 6th month(P < 0.05); The proportion of P.gingivalis in subgingival plaque decreased from baseline to the 6th month(P <0.05).PLI,SBI and PD significantly decreased from baseline to the 6th month after fixed appliance removal.Conclusion After fixed appliance removal,most of patients can recover periodontal tissue health in good oral hygiene.The percentage of P.gingivalis are closely associated with periodontal status.TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction has a high sensitivity and specificity.It was demonstrated the broad potential of application on detection of oral microbes.

Objectives To investigate the effects of military stress and psychological resilience on job burnout and mental health in military personnel and construct the relationship among resilience,job burnout and mental health during military stress.Methods By cluster random sampling,520 personnel in army taking part in the war-game were selected as the experimental group,and another group of 520 who not taking part in the wargame were selected as the control group.After one week of the war-game,the experimental group and control group were investigated by Military Personnel Mental Disorder Prediction Scale,Military Job Burnout Scale and Military Personnel Resilience Scale.The acquired datum were analyzed by t-test,correlation analysis,regression analysis and structural equation modeling analysis.Results (1) The total scores of mental disorder prediction and factor scores of psychosis,depression,mania,neurosis,personality disorder were((15.85±9.30),(0.36±0.91),(1.10±1.53),(2.66±1.78),(1.16± 1.57),(2.04± 1.83)) and the total scores of job burnout and its all factor scores were((23.05±9.40),(5.13±2.47),(3.19±2.18),(5.16±3.01),(1.71 ± 1.66),(3.29±2.21)) of experimental group were significantly higher than control group((11.20±6.24),(0.11 ±0.53),(0.55± 1.10),(1.89± 1.50),(0.51± 1.02),(1.10±1.13),(17.92±9.64),(4.28±2.92),(2.64±2.06),(3.84±2.46),(1.26± 1.37),(2.77±2.43),P=0.000).(2)Psychological resilience negatively correlated with job burnout and mental health(r=-0.52~-0.09,P<0.05),and job burnout positively correlated with mental health (r=0.12 ~ 0.57,P<0.01).(3) Under the military stress,psychological resilience was the accommodation to effect the mental health and job burnout of military personnel.(4)The analysis of structural equation modeling showed that psychological resilience had a direct effect on job burnout(the path coefficient was-0.56,P<0.01),but it had no significant effect on mental health (the path coefficient was-0.06,P=0.302).Job burnout had a direct effect on mental health (the path coefficient was 0.73,P<0.01),and the structural equation modeling fitted the data very well(x2/ df =3.138,GFI =0.943,AGFI =0.911,NFI =0.930,RFI =0.905,IFI =0.952,TLI =0.933,CFI =0.951,RMSEA =0.065).Conclusion Military stress can lead to job burnout and mental disorders that could be moderated by psychological resilience.Job burnout can fully mediate the relation between psychological resilience and mental health.Psychological resilience effects mental health by job burnout indirectly.

AIM: To clarify the possible mechanism of decrease in coronary flow (CF) after long-term hypothermic storage of the isolated rat hearts. METHODS: The isolated rat hearts preserved in different solutions (SDMC-1,2 S., Stanford S., Collin's S.) at 0℃ for 8 hours were reperfused with 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)(10 -4 mmol/L) and adenosine(Ade)(5 mmol/L) respectively, and the coronary flow(CF), coronary vascular resistance(CVR) and the weight of heart were measured before and after reperfusion. RESULTS: CF decreased while CVR increased in all groups after storage-reperfusion. When endothelium-dependent vasodilator (5-HT) was used, CF in SDMC-2 group was highly increased and CVR decreased. Whereas CF was significantly decreased and CVR increased in Collin's group( P

AIM: To evaluate the effect of carbon monoxide(CO) on the permeability of brain blood barrier(BBB) in cerebral ischemic rats. METHODS: SD rats were divided into three groups. Saline, hemin or ZnPP were injected intraperitoneally 12 h before middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), respectively. The concentration of blood CO and the permeability of BBB at 24 h after MCAO were measured. RESULTS: The CO concentration in blood in hemin group was higher than that in saline group( P 0.05). CONCLUSION: CO reduced the permeability of BBB as a messenger gas molecular when its intrinsic concentration was elevated.
