Objectives To investigate the relationship between different exercise types and the attention network.Methods A total of 75 university students were enrolled and randomly divided into an open-skill exercise group,a closed-skill exercise group and an irregular exercise control group,each of 25.They underwent the exercise as their group names implied.Then the attention network test was performed to evaluate their functions of the alerting network,orienting network and executive control network.Results Significant differences were found in the function of the executive control network among the 3 groups,while no significant difference was found among the 3 groups in the functions of the alerting network and orienting network.Conclusions Both open-and closed-skill exercise are associated with better function of executive control network.Furthermore,open-skill exercise showes more benefits than closed-skill exercise in promoting the function of the executive control network.Neither opennor closed-skill exercise bring benefits to the function of the alerting or orienting network.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of different duration of low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) intervention on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of LCD intervention in T2DM patients were collected in the databases such as MEDLINE, PubMed, OVID, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Scientific Journal Database by VIP, Wanfang database, et al.Data were analyzed by RevMan 5.3 version. Results Eight RCTs were included. The results of Meta-analysis indicated that the effects of lowering HbA1c by LCD intervention for three (Z=2.28, P<0.05) and six months (Z=14.99, P<0.01) were better than other diabetes diets, but there was no significant statistical difference between one (Z=0.65, P=0.51) and two years (Z=1.62, P=0.10). Conclusions Hypoglycemic effect of short-term LCD was better than other diabetes diets, but long-term effect was similar between them. LCD was a therapeutic diet suitable for T2DM patients.

Objective To study the effect of UHRF1 expression inhibition by RNA interference on the radiosensitivity of esophageal cancer cell line TE-1 and its mechanism.Methods Short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting UHRF1 gene was introduced into TE-1 cells by lentivector-mediated transfer.The cells were divided into three groups:non-transfected group,negative control (NC)-shRNA-transfected group,and UHRF1-shRNA-transfected group.The mRNA and protein expression levels of UHRF1 in TE-1 cells were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot before and after transfection.After transfection and X-ray radiation,the radiosensitivity of TE-1 cells was evaluated by colony formation assay; the cell cycle and cell apoptosis were determined by flow cytometry; the γ-H2AX (as a marker of DNA damage) level was measured by Western blot.Results After transfection with UHRF1-shRNA,the mRNA and protein expression levels of UHRF1 were significantly decreased in TE-1 cells,as compared with those in the NC-shRNA-transfected group and non-transfected group (0.11 vs 0.96 and 0.98,F =124.21,P =0.000;0.10 vs 0.89 and 0.94,F =125.25,P =0.000).The UHRF1-shRNA-transfected group had sensitization enhancement ratios of 1.53 (D0 ratio) and 1.95 (Dq ratio).X-ray radiation could cause G2/M arrest and increase apoptotic rate and γ-H2AX expression in TE-1 cells.Compared with the two control groups,the UHRF1-shRNA-transfected group showed significantly less G2/M arrest (F =500.15,P =0.000),a significantly higher apoptotic rate (F =100.10,P =0.000),and significantly higher residual γ-H2AX expression (F =61.00,P =0.000) at 24 hours after X-ray radiation.Conclusions RNA interference can effectively inhibit the UHRF1 expression and enhance the radiosensitivity of TE-1 cells.The mechanism may be related to cell cycle regulation,cell apoptosis,and DNA damage repair.

objective Using iodimetric analysis of dual-energy CT,to explore the dual perfusion amount and proportion of hepatic artery and portal vein in different hepatic lobes on normal living bodies.Methods A total of 77 patients without hepatic diseases underwent contrast-enhanced upper abdomen dual-energy CT scanning.The raw data were transferred to the workstation for postprocessing.ROI were selected,then the iodine content in arterial phase,portal phase and delay phase were calculated automatically.The differences of these measures (iodine content and hepatic artery to portal vein perfusion ratio of the left hepatic lobe,right hepatic lobe and caudate lobe) in the left,fight and caudate lobe of liver were detected by using ANOVA test.Results The iodine concentration in the caudate lobe was(851 ± 35)μg/L from hepatic artery and (2912 ± 78) μg/L from portal vein.The iodine concentration in the left hepatic lobe was (445 ± 34) μg/L from hepatic artery and (2373 ± 77) μg/L from portal vein.The iodine concentration in the right hepatic lobe was(504 ± 30)μg/L from hepatic artery and(2515 ± 78) μg/L from portal vein.The perfusion condition (amount of blood supply) of caudate lobe showed a significant statistic difference from the left and right hepatic lobe (P ＜ 0.05),and the amount of blood supply from both sources were more than those of the left and fight hepatic lobes.There was no significant statistic difference in the amount of hepatic artery and portal vein blood supply between the right and left hepatic lobe(P ＞ 0.05).The proportions of blood supply from hepatic artery and portal vein (hepatic artery/portal vein) were different among the three hepatic lobes,which was (28.41 ± 3.42) ％ in left lobe,(35.76-± 5.80) ％ in fight lobe and (49.92 ±4.63)％ in caudate lobe,respectively(F =5.36,P ＜0.01).Conclusion Dual-energy CT can be used to study the dual-perfusion condition of the liver.On normal living bodies,the hepatic artery and portal vein perfusion in caudate lobe are different from those in left and right lobes.
