BACKGROUND:Metabolic syndrome greatly harms the human body, and is affected by many factors. Through constructing diet-induced animal models, we can better analyze the relationship between nutritional factor and metabolic syndrome, and provide reliable references for the clinical treatment of this disorder. OBJECTIVE:To construct obese mouse models with high-fat diet feeding and discuss the relationship between nutritional factor and metabolic syndrome. METHODS:Thirty mice were selected and randomly divided into model group (n=20) and control group (n=10), and were fed with high-fat and normal animal feeds for 10 consecutive weeks. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, after 1 week of feeding with high-fat animal feeds, body weight of mice in the model group raised, and differences gradualy increased with the feeding time increased. After 8 weeks of feeding, body mass index of mice in the model group significantly raised (P < 0.05). After 4 weeks of feeding, fasting venous blood glucose level of mice in the model group significantly raised, and showed a gradual rise trend with feeding time. After 5 weeks of feeding, fasting insulin level of mice in the model group also began to rise. The oral glucose tolerance test showed that mice in the model group showed a gradual downward trend of glucose tolerance with feeding time. After 8 weeks of feeding, serum levels of total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol in the model group significantly raised (P < 0.05). After 10 weeks of feeding, serum levels of triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol in the model group raised (P< 0.05). The results demonstrate that obese mouse models were successfuly constructed with high-fat diet feeding, which can simulate the natural progression of metabolic syndrome in human, moreover, the nutritional factor is closely related to metabolic syndrome.

Objective To evaluate the effects of clinical pathway combined with transitional care implemented by specialty nurses on patients with coronary heart disease after PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) therapy. Methods Totally 124 patients after PCI were divided into the experimental group and the control group with random digit table. Patients in the control group received routine education and follow- up during hospitalization and discharge period. The experimental group received clinical pathway combined with transitional care implemented by specialty nurses based on routine education. The level of patients′knowledge, attitude, practice and risk factors were compared between the two groups 6 and 12 months after discharge. Results There were 55 patients in each group completed the research ultimately. The Coronary Heart Disease Knowledge Questionnaire in the experimental group scored (57.61 ±8.77), (81.27±6.88) and (88.47±6.10),while the control group scored (59.71±7.32),(68.61±7.12) and (76.85±7.70), after repeated measurement analysis of variance, F=74.71, 14.52, P<0.01. The scores of General Self- Efficacy Scale (GSES) and Coronary Artery Disease Self- Efficacy Scale (CSMS) between two groups at three time points showed statistical significance, F=5.40, 14.52, P<0.05 or 0.01. The risk factors of coronary heart disease such as total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, hemoglobin A1c, body mass index, systolic pressure and diastolic pressure were statistically different between two groups except for high density lipoprotein cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, F=5.82, 20.32, 4.14, 4.15, 4.99, 7.15, P<0.05 or 0.01. Conclusions Clinical pathway combined with transitional care implemented by specialty nurses can improve the knowledge-attitude- practice level of patients, help to control the risk factors of coronary heart disease. It is an effective heart rehabilitation model for patients after PCI.

Objective To analyze the expression level of HSP72 and HSP73,the subtypes of HSP70, in peripheral blood lymphocytes from lung carcinoma patients on both basic and heat injury conditions,and to explore the significance of HSP70 in the development of lung cancer.Methods Lung cancer patients were selected'as experimental group,and the health people with similar age,gender,vocational history and inhabi- tation to the experimental group were chosen as control group.The blood lymphocytes from both groups were isolated,cultured and treated with heat injury at either 37℃or 42℃.The expressions of HSP72 and HSP73 in the isolated lymphocytes were determined by Flow Cytometry.Results There were much higher expressions of HSP72 and HSP73 in control group(21.97?2.40 vs 12.77?0.66)than which in experimental group(HSP72 19.0?2.12 vs HSP73 11.74?0.68,P

Background During the past two decades, a number of rating scales were developed to facilitate diagnosis and assessment of subjects with social anxiety disorder. One of the most commonly used scales for the assessment of social anxiety disorder is the Liebowitz social anxiety scale (LSAS). The LSAS is widely used in epidemiologic investigations and clinical researches,and its assessment in the pharmacotherapy efficacy for social anxiety disorder is superior to any other scale. So we designed this study to explore the validity and reliability of the LSAS in Chinese patients with social anxiety disorder and normal control, and to find the difference of the scores between the patients self -report version and clinician-administered version. Methods Fifty five patients meeting the DSM-Ⅳ diagnostic criteria for social anxiety disorder and 168 normal controls who were screened from 222 college students were rated by LSAS, social phobia scale and self-made General Information Forms. Results The Cronbath α of LSAS for the patients and the normal controls was 0.83 and 0.77, respectively. The 4-week test-retest reliability for total scores and its factors scores of LSAS in 31 normal controls were ranging from 0.68 to 0.79. The ROC area under curve value in discriminating the patients from normal controls was 0.87±0.03; the total score of 35 was considered to be the best cut-off score for LSAS, then its sensitivity was 0.77 and its specificity was 0.81; and no significant difference between the self-report version and clinician-administered version. Conclusions The LSAS is good in internal consistency and test-retest reliability, and has high sensitivity and specificity in discriminating the patients and the controls. There is no significant difference in the total score and each factor scores of LSAS between self-report version and clinician-administered version.
