Objective To investigate the effects of hedysarum polybotys saccharide (HPS) on lipid metabolism and the expression of stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1(SCD-1) gene in rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). To discuss the interfering effects of HPS on NAFLD. Methods The SD rats were randomly divided into the blank control group and the experiment group. Rats in the experiment group were fed with lipid rich food for 8 weeks to establish model and were randomly divided into model group, drug positive group and HPS group. After 8 weeks of drug intervention, the level of ALT, AST, TC, TG, HDL-c and LDL-c were measured with automatic chemistry analyzer, and expression of SCD-1 gene was measured by semi-quantitative polymerase chain reaction.Results Compared with blank control group, serum ALT, AST and TC, TG, LDL-c of model group were higher (P<0.05,P<0.01), the level of HDL-c of model group and the expression of SCD-1 gene were lower (P<0.01). Compared with model group, HPS was useful to decrease serum ALT, AST, LDL-c, TC and TG (P<0.05,P<0.01), and increase the level of HDL-c (P<0.01) and the expression of SCD-1 gene (P<0.01).ConclusionHPS had a positive effect on regulating lipid metabolic disturbance of NAFLD rats and promoting the expression of regulatory gene SCD-1.

ObjectiveTo investigate prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and related factors in patients with schizophrenia.MethodsFive hundred and three inpatients with schizophrenia and 60 healthy volunteers were included in this study.The demographic information and medical data of these participants were recorded,and their physiological and biochemical parameters were measured,the MS was diagnosed according to CDand IDF criteria.ResultsThe MS prevalence in patients with schizophrenia was 12.1％ according to CDS criteria and 28.4％ based on IDF standard,significantly higher than control group; the prevalence of MS was higher among female patients ( 15.3％ or 39.8％ ) than male patients ( 10.4％ or 22.4％ ) ; the prevalence of MS was higher among patients aged 40 or over ( 14.3％ or 30.9％ ) than patients aged 40 below (6.4％ or 22.1％ ).Dyslipidaemia (elevated TG and reduced HDL-C),obesity (BMI and waist) and increased blood glucose were the most important risk factors ( OR value ＞ 6.0),increased total cholesterol,high blood pressure,elevated LDL-C,increased uric acid,female,in marriage,and paranoid type were also important risk factors (OR value ＞ 2.0).Stepwise discriminate analysis showed triglyceride (0.569),BMI (0.451 ),HDL-C ( -0.298 ),gender (0.297 ),age (0.294)and LDL-C (0.210) 6 factors had a separate identification role in MS.ConclusionThe prevalence of MS in patients with schizophrenia in significantly higher than that in the general population,females are higher than males in the patients with patients,and older patients are higher than younger patients.Dyslipidemia,obesity and elevated blood glucose are the most important risk factors and predictors of the MS.
