Objective To study the relationship between overweight, obesity and blood pressure among children living in urban Beijing. Methods A total of 4 267 pupils aged 9~10 years were randomly selected. Overweight and obesity were defined by age and sex specific BMI classification reference for Chinese children. Hypertension was defined by age, sex and height specific reference for US children. Results The prevalence of overweight and obesity in boys was 19.4% and 21.2%, in girls was 10.9% and 12.1%, respectively. Mean levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) have significant different between all study group. The total prevalence of high blood pressure (HBP) was 16.1% for boys and 15.2% for girls, while it was 36.4% and 41.3% among obese boys and girls, respectively. The prevalence of high systolic blood pressure (HSBP), high diastolic blood pressure (HDBP)and HBP gradually increased as weight increased. Compared with the normal weight group, OR(95%CI) for HBP of overweight and obese children were 2.6 (2.1~3.3) and 5.8 (4.7~7.0), respectively. Conclusion Obesity is positive correlation with hypertension in children aged 9~10years of Beijing, and the risk of hypertension was increased with their body weight.

Background The mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+exchanger, NCLX, plays an important role in the balance between Ca2+influx and efflux across the mitochondrial inner membrane in endothelial cells. Mitochondrial metabolism is likely to be affected by the activity of NCLX because Ca2+activates several enzymes of the Krebs cycle. It is currently believed that mitochondria are not only centers of energy produc-tion but are also important sites of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain receptor 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation. Methods&Results This study focused on NCLX function, in rat aortic endothelial cells (RAECs), induced by glucose. First, we detected an increase in NCLX expression in the endothelia of rats with diabetes mellitus, which was induced by an injection of streptozotocin. Next, colocalization of NCLX expression and mitochondria was detected using confocal analysis. Suppression of NCLX expression, using an siRNA construct (siNCLX), enhanced mitochondrial Ca2+influx and blocked efflux induced by glucose. Un-expectedly, silencing of NCLX expression induced increased ROS generation and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Conclusions These findings suggest that NCLX affects glucose-dependent mitochondrial Ca2+signaling, thereby regulating ROS generation and NLRP3 in-flammasome activation in high glucose conditions. In the early stages of high glucose stimulation, NCLX expression increases to compensate in order to self-protect mitochondrial maintenance, stability, and function in endothelial cells.

Objective To study the differential expression of apoptosis related genes in GJB2 gene conditional knockout mice (cCx26Pax2Cre ) cochlea membranous labyrinth ,and to explore the mechanism of GJB2 gene mutations causing deafness .Methods Two developmental stages of P10 and P18 were selected from the knock out mice and the wild type ones (BALB/C) .The total RNA was isolated from cochlear membranous labyrinth and PCR array was performed using mouse apoptosis PCR arrays .Results Compared with wild -type mice ,significant up or down -regulation in gene expression was detected in 16 genes in cCx26Pax2Cre ones at P10 .Of the 16 genes ,14 ones were down-regulated .Among the 14 genes ,9 ones can be classified as anti -apoptosis or pro -proliferation genes ,5 ones can be classified as pro -apoptosis or pro -inflammation genes .The other 2 genes expression was up-regula-ted ,and their main role was to promote apoptosis .Compared with time -matched controls ,significant up or down-regulation in gene expression was detected in 4 genes in cCx26Pax2Cre mice at P18 .Of the 4 genes ,3 ones expression was down-regulated ,were anti-apoptosis ones .The expression of the other one gene among the 4 ones was up-regulated ,which acted as pro -apoptosis genes .Bcl2l10 and Tnfrsf10b expression showed significant down or up -regulation at both stages . Compared with P10 , the expression of caspase - 8 was up - ragulated at P18 in cCx26Pax2Cre mice .Conclusion It is suggested that GJB2 mutation may up -regulate the expression of DR5 ,which can trigger the death receptor pathway to cause apoptosis in cCx 26Pax2Cre mice cochlea directly .At the same time , caspase-8 in death receptor pathway may activate the mitochondria pathway indirectly and amplify the apoptosis further in cCx26Pax2Cre mice cochlea .The final result of the above activated pathways is the wide range of cochlear cells apoptosis and the profound hearing loss in cCx 26Pax2Cre mice .

BACKGROUND: Twin-block appliance has been confirmed to efficiently change hard tissue and the profile of soft tissue.Whether a linear relationship exists between soft tissue and hard tissue changes remains unclear.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the face convexity changes of soft and hard tissues after Twin-block appliance therapy and compare with controls.METHODS: Thirty-one class Ⅱ division 1 malocclusion subjects with hand-wrist radiographs in FG-G stage were selected.Among the 31 patients,17 received Twin-block appliance therapy,serving as experimental group,and the remaining 14 subjects abandoned treatment,serving as control group.Cephalometric radiographs of each included subject were taken prior to and after treatment or observation.Face convexity of soft and hard tissues,as well as the face convexity changes,was compared between the experimental and control groups.Linear regression equation was employed to analyze the linear association between soft-and hard-tissue changes.Regression equations of experimental and control groups were compared.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Prior to and after Twin-block appliance therapy,a significant correlation existed between the position changes of superior and inferior alveolar sockets relative to the nose and mandible,and the position changes of upper and lower lip pits relative to the nose and mandible,i.e.,there was a linear correlation between A-E change and Ss-E change,and between B-E change and Si-E change.The largest Pearson's correlation coefficient(0.839)appeared between Si-E change and B-E change,indicating the best correlativity between these two changes.Statistical analysis revealed that the linear equations of face convexity changes of soft and hard tissues after Twin-block appliance therapy were Si-E=0.745 B-E,Ss-E=0.276 A-E.These linear equations would be helpful to explain mandible growth and face convexity change after Twin-block appliance therapy and predict the prognosis of face convexity change.
