Objective To observe the changes of body weight,fat mass and skeletal muscle mass of rats after 4 weeks of intermittent fasting,and explore relationship with autophagy in skeletal muscle,so as to provide theoretical basis for intermittent fasting.Method Twenty male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group (Con) and an intermittent fasting group (IF),each of 10.The rats of IF group were forbidden to eat food every Wednesday and Friday,and the body weight of both groups was recorded weekly.After 4 weeks,Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorption (DEXA) was used to analyze the body fat mass,then the bilateral soleus was separated to record the wet weight and measure the cross-sectional area of the soleus fibers by testing laminin with immunofluorescence confocal laser scanning microscope.The form of autophagic vacuole of soleus was observed using a transmission electron microscopy.The expression of autophagy-related protein LC3,p62 and regulating protein AMPK,pAMPK and ULK1 were measured using Western blotting.Result After 4 weeks of intermittent fasting,the weight and fat mass of IF were significantly lower than those of Con (P＜0.01),but there were no significant differences between them in wet weight and cross-sectional area of soleus (P＞0.05).The expressions of AMPK,p-AMPK,ULK1 in IF were significantly higher than those in Con (P＜0.01).Compared with Con,the expression of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ of IF increased significantly,while the expression of p62 decreased significantly (P＜0.01).Conclusion Four weeks of intermittent fasting decreases the fat mass significantly,and control the weight efficiently.Intermittent fasting can maintain the skeletal muscle mass by promoting moderate autophagy through the AMPK-ULK1 pathway.It should be a potential lose weight method for further research.

AIM:To investigate the immune depressive effect on the reactive T cells and to explore the immunologic injury mechanism of beta cells of islet in type 1 diabetes mellitus(DM-1).METHODS:pAd5/PD-L1-GPI adenovirus vector with target gene was constructed and transfected into NIT cells which are known as a mouse insuloma cell line.The highly expressed membrane protein of PD-L1-GPI was confirmed by Western blotting.The peripheral blood non-adherence lymph leukocytes and target cells were cultured to detect lymph leukocyte proliferation and the T cell function.The level of IL-2,TNF-? and IFN-? were detected in the cell culture fluid.RESULTS:Compared with the control group,the NIT cells modified with PD-L1-GPI inhibited the sensitized lymph leukocyte proliferation effectively and down-regulated the level of some cytokine secretions such as IL-2,IFN-? and TNF-?(P

Objective To evaluate risk factors of hepatectomy for patients with large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Clinical data of 310 large HCC cases receiving hepatctomy were analyzed retrospectively. Results Hepatitis B infection rate was 60.7% in this group with cirrhosis rate of 66.8%. Tumor size averaged at (9.4?3.8) cm in diameter. Child A grade was found in 51.0% of cases, Child B in 36.8% and Child C in 12.3%. Pringle′s procedure, semi-liver blood occlusion and modified Heaney procedure were used in 31.6%, 11.0% and 2.3% of cases respectively, with occlusion time of ( 17?8) min, (25?9) min and (20?10) min, respectively. Left lateral lobectomy, left hemihepatectomy, right hemihepatectomy and segmentectomy were performed in 17.1%, 11.6%, 9.0%, and 62.3% cases, respectively. Blood loss, blood transfusion and operation duration were (820?1 151) ml, (966?945) ml and (182?74) min, respectively. The overall morbidity and liver failure were 22.3%, and 5.8%, respectively, with an operative mortality of 2.6%. The univariate analysis for liver failure revealed its risk factors being preoperative AST value(P

Objective This study seeks to use a meta-analytical approach to quantitatively assess the results of applying the problem-based learning(PBL) teaching model and the traditional lecture-based learning(LBL)teaching model to basic medical courses in undergraduate medical edu-cation. Methods The CNKI and VIP databases were electronically searched to retrieve randomised controlled trial studies that examined the use of PBL methods for basic medical courses in under-graduate medical education. In these studies PBL teaching model was used in experiment group and LBL teaching model was used in control group. Pass rate or test scores was used to evaluate the effect of learning. The retrieved documents ranged from the time that each database was first constructed to December 2012. After two researchers performed literature screening independently, data extraction, and quality assessment procedures in strict accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this study, the Stata 11.0 software package was utilized to conduct the meta-analysis. Results This meta-analysis examined 28 studies that included a total of 3703 subjects. The modified Jadad scores of 20 studies(71.4%) were less than 4, and those of 8 studies(28.6%) were more than or equal to 4. The meta-analysis revealed that compared with the traditional teaching model, the PBL teaching model did not produce improved examination passing rates for a course [relative risk(RR):1.05, 95%confidence interval(CI):(0.99, 1.10), P=0.098] but could improve examination scores for a course [standardized mean difference (SMD): 0.73, 95% CI: (0.51, 0.96), P<0.001]. Conclusion For basic medical courses in undergraduate medical education, compared to LBL teaching, PBL teaching can improve students' test scores but cannot improve students' pass rate. PBL used in basic medical courses has di-versified forms and lacks unified criterion, so there is still a long way to go for the appli-cation of PBL.

ObjectiveTo investigate portal hemodynamic features and its changes following devascularization in cirrhotics. MethodsHemodynamics of portal trunk (PT), right anterior branch (RAB) and splenic vein (SV), including maximum cross-sectional velocity(CS-Vmax), flow volume and congestion index(CI), were assessed in 69 cirrhotics and 46 normal volunteers by using a recently-developed color Doppler velocity profile(CDVP). Of 28 patients undergone devascularization procedure, portal hemodynamics were studied and compared before and after operation. ResultsCSVmax of PT and RAB was significantly lower in cirrhotic group than normal group;PT and SV flow volume and the ratio of SV to PT flow volume(SV/PT)were significantly greater in cirrhotic group compared with those of normal group;CI of PT, RAB and SV was significantly higher in cirrhotic group than normal group. Postoperative PT flow volume was significantly reduced( P ＜0.01),and the reduction was closely related to preoperative SV flow volume( r = 0.65, P ＜0.001). CS-Vmax and flow volume in RAB were decreased significantly following operation( P ＜0.01), and the reduction of RAB flow volume was highly related to preoperative RAB flow volume( r =0.74, P ＜0.001). After operation, free portal pressure(FPP)was declined by (6 ± 5)cmH2O[ (0.59 ± 0.49)kPa] ( P ＜ 0.001 ). There were no significant changes in CS-Vmax, CI in PT and CI in RAB following operation. ConclusionIn cirrhotics with portal hypertension, portal venous system coexists the elevated vascular resistance and hyperdynamics, but with different redorainance at different portion. SV hyperdynamics is the main source of increased portal blood flow. Devascularization procedure could markedly relieve portal hyperdynamics by elimination of SV inflow, which is one of the main mechanisms in obmining therapeutic goal. But the operation has no favorable effects on the increased portal resistance,and portal perfusion to the liver would be further declined after relieving portal hyperdynamics, which is unfavorable to maintenance of liver function.
