AIM: Based on the finding of adipophilin expression with the increase in cellular cholesterol, the aim of the present study was to look for the active site of adipophilin in cellular cholesteryl metabolism. METHODS: Mouse peritoneal macrophages were incubated with 80 mg/L Ox-LDL (Ox-LDL group) or 80 mg/L Ox-LDL plus 1 mmol/L adipophilin antisense oligonucleotides (Ox-LDL+antisense group), respectively. At the various time points, the incubated cell samples were observed with adipophilin immunofluorescence staining, flow cytometric analysis and cellular cholesterol analysis. RESULTS: The Ox-LDL+antisense group cells contained significantly lower cholesteryl ester (19.9?1.9) mg/g (protein) than that of cells in Ox-LDL group (46.6?3.4) mg/g (protein) at 4 days. From 12 h, expression of adipophilin in Ox-LDL group increased more quickly than that of the cells in Ox-LDL+antisense group. At day 4, the level of adipophilin expression in Ox-LDL group was significantly higher than that in Ox-LDL+antisense group. During the observation, the amount of Ox-r[CL-3H] LDL taking up increased gradually in both groups, however, from day 1 the taking up amount in Ox-LDL+antisense group was less than that in Ox-LDL group. There was a statistical difference between the two groups from day 2 to day 4. From 6 h to day 2, the relative ACAT activity increased in both groups. The relative ACAT activity kept unchanged from day 2 to day 4 in the two groups. At day 2, the relative ACAT activity in Ox-LDL+antisense group was significantly lower than that in Ox-LDL group. Correlative analysis between activity of ACAT and adipophilin expression showed than R2 were 0.6176 and 0.8212 (P

AIM: To investigate the relationship betw een ADRP and the development of atherosclerosis. METHODS: Antisense oligodeoxynucleotide of mouse ADRP was constr ucted. The mouse peritoneum macrophages were cultured with Ox-LDL or Ox-LDL plus the antisense fragment. The cellular cholesterol was measured and the expressio n of ADRP was observed with RT-PCR and western blotting. New Zealand white rabbi ts were fed with high cholesterol chow for 12 weeks. The levels of serum lipid a nd cholesterol content of aortic wall were investigated. The areas of fatty stre ak of the aortas was measured after staining with Sudan Ⅳ. The aortic, and live r specimens with HE and immunohistochemistry staining were observed under light microscopes. RESULTS: Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides of mouse ADRP decreased cellular cholesterol ester, induced cellular lipid droplets and the expression of ADRP. The expression of ADRP was induced by high-cholesterol-diet feeding in rabbit atherosclerotic lesions. The fatty streak of the aorta with immunohistoch emistry staining was strongly positive for ADRP in animals fed with high cholest erol chow, and the liver was negative with or without high cholesterol chow. CONCLUSIONS: The expression of ADRP in vessel walls is related t o the atherosclerosis, and has a potential role in lipid accumulation in macroph ages and pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

Objective To evaluate the effects of the short-term intervention lifestyle intervention on metabolic measurements of community patients with impaired glucose regulation (IGR). Methods A total of 90 IGR participants were randomly assigned to the control group (n=45) or the intervention group (n= 45). The subjects in the control group received routine diet and physical exercise advice once a month. The subjects in the intervention group received additional individualized diet counseling and circuit-type resistance training. Metabolic parameters were compared before or after the intervention between the two groups. Results In oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT),2-h plasma glucose (PG) and homeostasis model of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were significantly decreased in the intervention group at 3 months(F= 13.47 or 82.25 ,both P < 0.05). Body mass index (t=-2.44, P<0.05), systolic blood pressure (t= -3.39, P<0.05), diastolic blood pressure (t=-3.97, P<0.05), fasting plasma glucose (t=-3.89, P<0.05),2-h PG (t=-7.22,P <0.05) ,total cholesterol (t=-2.72,P<0.05),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (t=-2.74, P<0.05), and glycosylated hemoglobin A1 C (t=-3.73, P<0.05) were significantly declined in the intervention group compared to the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions Intensive lifestyle intervention can significantly improve the metabolic markers of IGR subjects and should be used to prevent type 2 diabetes.

Objective:To explore the latent classes of parental feeding behaviors in preschool children, and to examine the relationship between potential types of parental feeding behaviors and parental depression status.Methods:From May to July 2021, parents of preschoolers from eight kindergartens in Shanghai were recruited and investigated.A paper-based questionnaire consisting of the Chinese preschooler’s caregivers’ feeding behavior scale (CPCFBS) and the center for epidemiological studies depression scale (CESD-10) was employed.Finally, a total of 1 006 valid questionnaires were retrieved.Mplus 8.0 and SPSS 26.0 were used for statistical analysis.The latent class analysis was used to identify subgroups of parents based on their feeding practices.Multinomial Logistic regression was used to examine the relevant influencing factors.Results:The feeding behaviors of parental of preschool children could be divided into four potential categories: " high responsiveness and high non-responsiveness type" (24.55%), " low responsiveness and high non-responsiveness type" (27.44%), " high responsiveness and low non-responsiveness type" (28.33%) and " low responsiveness and low non-responsiveness type" (19.68%). The parents with depression status were less likely to be categorized as " high responsiveness and low non-responsiveness type" ( OR=0.386, 95% CI: 0.218-0.684). The parents with older children were more likely to be categorized as " low responsiveness and low non-responsiveness type" ( OR=1.318, 95% CI: 1.039-1.672). Conclusion:The feeding practices of parents of preschool children can be categorized into four latent classes.The parents with depression status are more likely to adopt non-responsive feeding practice than responsive feeding practice.Actively paying attention to and improving the depression status of parents may help the feeder to adopt scientific feeding behavior.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between human leukocyte antigen( HLA)-B~* 13 : 01 allele and liver dysfunction in patients with occupational medicamentosa-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene( OMDT). METHODS: Twenty patients with OMDT were chosen as study subjects by using a convenient sampling method. The sequence-based genotyping method was used for detecting HLA-B~* 13 : 01 allele in the DNA samples from peripheral blood of all study subjects. The serum levels of total protein,albumin,total bilirubin,direct bilirubin and alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase activities in patients were examined. The correlation between the number of HLA-B~* 13 : 01 alleles and the liver function indices was also analyzed. RESULTS: There were 16 patients carrying HLA-B~* 13: 01 allele. The serum total protein in the HLA-B~* 13: 01 carriers was higher than that of non-carriers( P < 0. 05). The serum total protein was positively correlated with the number of patients carrying HLA-B~* 13: 01 alleles( P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: The degree of liver function damage in OMDT patients may be related to carrying the HLA-B~* 13: 01 allele.
