Objective To investigate the relationship of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene polymorphism and the suscepti-bility of childhood obesity Methods The database of PubMed, OVID, Science online, BMJ, Springer Link, Medlink, China Journal Full-text and Wanfang were systematically searched. The studies regarding ApoE polymorphism associated with child-hood obesity from March 1996 to March 2013 were included in the research. The data were extracted, evaluated and hetero-geneity tested using software Rev Man 5.0. Results A total of 84 related literature were retrieved, and 9 of them were eligible with 767 obese children and 867 normal children included. According to the heterogeneity test results, the relationship between ApoE gene allele,ε2,ε3,ε4 and childhood obesity occurs was analyzed by means of ifxed or random effect model. The results indicated that, comparing to children with normal body mass, the OR value and 95%CI of ApoE allele geneε2,ε3,ε4 in obese children were 1.10 (0.85, 1.43), 0.66 (0.55, 0.80), and 1.82 (1.31, 2.52) respectively. The differences ofε3 andε4 between normal and obese children were signiifcant (P<0.001) but notε2 (P=0.45). The sensitivity analysis in each study was stable and the funnel graphics were basically symmetric. Conclusions ApoE gene polymorphism is closely related to childhood obesity withε3 allele as a protective factor whileε4 allele as a risk factor.

From January 2000 to December 2006, 78 hypertensive patients with intracerebral hemorrhage(80～130 ml)underwent minimally invasive surgery(n=41)or small bone window craniotomy(n=37). Neurological deficit scores and mortality were estimated to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy among those two group patients. The success rate was significantly higher in the micro-invasive surgery group than the small bone window craniotomy group(P＜0. 05). However, no significantly lower mortality was detected in the micro-invasive surgery group(P＞0. 05). In summary, micro-invasive surgery may reduce the mortality, largely increase the success rate of treatment, and improve patients' quality of life.

Objective To investigate the relationship between β3 - adrenergic receptor(β3 - AR)gene poly-morphism and the susceptibility of occurrence in children obesity. Methods The database of PubMed,Web of Science,Springer Link,Medlink,SinoMed,Wanfang,VIP and CNKI were systematically browsed online. The study re-ports regarding β3 - AR associated with children obesity from January 1995 to February 2014 were included in the re-search. The data were extracted,evaluated and heterogeneity tested by using software RevMan 5. 1. Results A total of 162 related literature were retrieved,and 9 of them were eligible with 1 494 obese children and 1 623 normal children were included. Allele T compared with C,the differences between the study group and the control group were statistical-ly significant(P < 0. 05),the findings from the same TC + CC compared to TT and TC compared with TT + CC were similar. Japanese research findings were similar to those of China,but the differences between the study group and the control group had no statistical significance(P ﹥ 0. 05)in Hungary. The sensitivity analysis in each study was stable and the funnel graphics were basically symmetric. The results of sensitivity analysis and publication bias diagnostics demonstrated the reliability and stability of the Meta analysis. Conclusions TC + CC/ TT,TC/ TT + CC genotype and allele T/ C are related to the occurrence of childhood obesity in China,Japan,but there is no significant correlation with childhood obesity in Hungary. There are regional difference between β3 - AR gene polymorphism and genetic susceptibility to children obesity.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between vitamin D receptor(VDR) (rs731236)single nucleotide polymorphisms and genetic susceptibility to overweight/obesity in school-age children of Han and Kazakh in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.Methods The VDR gene rs731236 genotypes were detected by using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method in 250 overweight/obesity school-age children(127Han,123 Kazakh) and 255 healthy controls(131 Han,124 Kazakh) as well.Results (1)There were statistically significant differences in the frequencies of rs731236 genotypes and alleles between the healthy controls of Han and Kazakh (x2 =9.904,P =0.005;x2 =9.312,P =0.002).(2)There were statistically significant differences in the frequencies of TT/Tt + tt genotype and the alleles between the overweight/obesity cases and healthy controls of Kazakh (x2 =3.891,P =0.049 ; x2 =5.871,P =0.015).But the difference in frequencies of rs731236 genotypes and alleles between the overweight/obesity cases and controls of Han were not statistically significant (x2 =0.064,P =0.800 ; x2 =0.190,P =0.663).(3)There were statistically significant differences in the frequencies of TT/Tt + tt genotype and alleles between the overweight/obesity cases and healthy controls of male school-age children of Kazakh (x2 =5.25,P =0.02;x2 =4.57,P =0.03),but the differences in frequencies of rs731236 genotypes and alleles between the overweight/obesity cases and controls were not statistically significant in female school-age children of Kazakh (x2 =0.06,P =0.80 ; x2 =1.40,P =0.24).There was no statistically significant difference in the frequencies of TT/Tt + tt genotype and alleles between the overweight/obesity cases and healthy controls of female school-age children of Han (x2 =0.04,P =0.84 ; x2 =0.04,P =0.84),and there was no statistically significant difference in male school-age children of Han(x2 =0.05,P=0.82;x2 =0.18,P=0.67).Conclusions VDR gene(rs731236)polymorphism bears ethnic diffe-rence.The polymorphisms of VDR gene polymorphism rs731236 are not associated with the susceptibility to overweight/obesity in school-age children of Han,while it is associated with the susceptibility to overweight/obesity school-age children in Kazakh,especially in male school-age children.

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)in China is about 9.1%.Compared with healthy adults, life expectancy for patients with T2DM at 60 years of age can be cut short by 7.3-9.5 years and time for a good quality of life by 11.1-13.8 years.It is important for elderly patients with T2DM to stay functionally active.Frailty, as a common geriatric syndrome, is an important factor affecting the functional status of the elderly, a strong predictor for disability, death and hospitalization, and also a strong predictor for adverse health outcomes in elderly patients with T2DM.This article reviews the relationship between frailty/sarcopenia and T2DM, and the management and treatment of elderly T2DM patients with frailty/sarcopenia.

Objective To investigate intestinal bacteria genera distribution between normal weight and overweight/obesity school-age children in Yili region of Xinjiang.Methods Selecting eligible 150 fecal samples from school-age children (aged from 7 to 13 years old),all samples were divided into normal weight group and overweight/obesity group according to the body mass index (BMI),and each group contained 75 samples.Fecal samples were collected and DNA was extracted,then 6 types of intestinal bacteria genera were detected by the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.Results The distribution of age,gender,ethnicity and hip circumference between 2 groups had no statistically significance (all P ＞ 0.05),except that of BMI and waist circumference (t ＝ 20.740,8.533,all P ＜ 0.01).The concentration of Lactobacillus,Clostridium and Enterococcus were significantly higher in the obese/overweight children (t =9.735,9.681,26.070,all P ＜ 0.01),whereas no significant differences were found in the concentration of Escherichia,Bifidobacterium and Bacteroides between 2 groups.According to the stratified analysis of ethnicity,gender and age,there was no significant difference among Han,Kazakh and Uyghur children.While stratified by gender,Bifidobactcrium was significantly lower in girls than that of boys (t =4.931,P ＜ 0.05).The distribution of the 6 types of intestinal bacteria genera was no statistically significant among different ethnicity,gender and age groups.Conclusions The intestinal bacteria genera number distribution in different ethnicity,gender and age groups makes no sense.The 16SrRNA type number of the Lactobacillus,Clostridium and Enterococcus may be associated with childhood obesity.

BACKGROUND: Epidermal growth factor can inhibit gastric acid secretion, promote the healing from the ulcer, protect mucous membrane, and enhance the growth and proliferation of mucous membrane cells of the gastrointestinal tract.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of epidermal growth factor at different doses on the barrier function of the intestinal mucous membrane in rats after radioactive damage.DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial.SETTING: Department of Clinical Trophology, First Affiliated Hospital and College of Public Health.MATERIALS: The experiment was completed at the Public Health Department of Xinjiang Medical University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from August 2001 to May 2003. Totally 80 newborn Wistar rats, half male and half female, were involved in the study.METHODS: Wistar rats were randomly divided into the control groups(positive and negative) and intervention groups(30 μg/kg, 20 μg/kg, 10 μg/kg) with 16 rats in each group and half male and half female. The models were made by a single radiation of 9.5Gy on the abdomen except for the negative control group. Epidermal growth factor was injected subcutaneously once per day for intervention. Eight days later, the body mass, food intake, efficiency of food utilization were observed and the morphology of the intestinal mucous membrane was checked.dermal growth factor on the increased body mass, food intake and food intake observation of the intestinal mucous membrane under the optic microscope and the electric-microscope.group of rats with epidermal growth factor of 30, 20, 10 μg/kg and the intake of the female and male rats in the group with epidermal growth factor of 30, 20, 10 μ g/kg was significantly different compared with that of the rats in the negative control group( P ＜ 0.05), while there was no significant under the optic microscope and electric microscope showed that when epidermal growth factor was administrated, epidermal growth factor could apparently improve the intestinal mucosal barrier function with the increase of the dose, especially in the group with epidermal growth factor of 30 μ g/kg,which indicates that epithelial cells were increased obviously and cup shaped cells were also increased.CONCLUSION: Epidermal growth factor might not affect the body mass,food intake and efficiency of food intake of the rats, but large doses of epidermal growth factor can improve the morphology of the intestinal mucous membrane and promote the proliferation and repairs.

Objective Currently, the prefabricated flap is used for reconstructing the post-burn scar in head and face.The aim is to analyze the nature of the post-op edema in the prefabricated flaps, to determine whether it is lymphedema, and to study the prognosis of the edema.Methods From January, 2011 to March, 2015, 18 cases of post-operation edema in superficial temporal fascia prefabricated flaps were studied and each case was followed for 5 months.We used ultrasound and indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent imaging to study the nature of the edema.Apart from that, we monitored the recovery process of the post-operation edema by a) measuring the horizontal diameter of the flap by a tape, b) measuring the thickness of the flap by the ultrasound, c) monitoring the condition of edema by ICG and d) monitoring the reconstruction and recanalization of the lymphatic system by ICG.Results Pitting edema always occurred in the prefabricated flap from the first day after operation.These patients were diagnosed as mild lymphedema (7 cases), moderate lymphedema (10 cases), and severe lymphedema (1cases) by ultrasound and ICG florescent imaging.The degree of flap lymphedema improved gradually and it improved significantly from 3 days to 6 days post-op eration.The condition of flap lymphedema became stable from the 12 days post-operation.The fluorescence image of ICG showed that the stage of flap lymphedema improved from 3 weeks post-operation and the transportation capability of lymphatic vessels increased most from the 3 days to 6 days post-op eration.We also found lymphatic vessels reconnected from the 6 days post-operation and lymphatic system reconstructed following the direction to lymph nodes.We could discover the collecting lymphatic vessels from 2 months post-operation and the lymphatic system in prefabricated flap matured from 5 months post-operation.Conclusion The post-operation edema in the prefabricated flaps is lymphedema, the incidence rate of which is high.The lymphatic drainage system recovers in 6 days after the operation.It is reconstructed along the lymph nodes.The edema disappears in 2-3 weeks post-operation, the reconstructed the lymph system matures in 5 months.
