The percentages of energy from fat of big city residents arrived 38.4%. The percentages of energy from cereals, animal food and pure energy food were 57.9%, 12.6% and 17.3% respectively. The average protein intake per reference man per day was 65.9 g, 52%, 7.5% ,25.1% and 15.3% from cereals, bean and bean product, animal food and other foods respectively. The average fat intake per reference man per day was 76.3 g, 39.2% from animal food. Conclusion: The dietary change of Chinese residents represents the characteristics of the transition period, including the decrease of energy and protein intake per capita, decrease of the percentage of dietary energy supplied by cereals and increase of fat intake per capita,especially from animal foods, and the proportion of energy contributed by fat.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Saposhnikovia divaricata extract combined with arsenic trioxide (ATO) on the proliferation and apoptosis in chronic myelogenous leukemia K562 cells. MethodsSaposhnikovia divaricata extract was prepared.Cultured K562 cells were treated with different concentration of Saposhnikovia divaricataextract or/and ATO for 48h. Cell proliferation was determined using the MTT assay. Apoptosis and cell cycle were detected using flow cytometry.ResultsThe MTT assay showed that Saposhnikovia divaricata extract of 750,1 000,1 250,1 500 μg/ml had a significantly proliferation inhibitory effect compared with control group, the inhibitory rates were 23.29% ± 3.31%, 48.30% ± 2.50%, 79.62% ± 3.41% and 88.94% ± 0.06%, respectively (allP<0.05); Saposhnikovia divaricata extract of 500 μg/ml combined with ATO of 1.0, 0.5 μg/ml significantly increased inhibitor rates compared with ATO of 1.0, 0.5 μg/ml (64.99% ± 5.18%vs. 44.48% ± 3.31%,38.59% ± 3.88%vs.26.30% ± 5.03%; allP<0.05). FCM showed that Saposhnikovia divaricata extract of 500 μg/ml combined with ATO of 2.0, 1.0, 0.5 μg/ml significantly increased apoptotic rate compared with ATO group of 2.0, 1.0, 0.5 μg/ml (33.97% ± 0.59%vs.20.97% ± 2.17%, 13.53% ± 0.47%vs.9.77%±0.64%、6.63%±&0.40%vs.4.00%±0.46%; allP<0.05 ). Cell cycle results showed that Saposhnikovia divaricata extract of 500μg/ml combined with ATO of 2.0,1.0, 0.5μg/ml significantly increased the rate of S phase compared with ATO group of 2.0, 1.0, 0.5 μg/ml (60.25 ± 2.59%vs.55.61 ± 1.28%, 60.89 ± 1.53%vs.37.96 ± 1.02%, 47.76 ± 0.87%vs.39.90 ± 0.92%; allP<0.05).ConclusionsSaposhnikovia divaricataextract could obviously inhibit the proliferation of K562 cells and enhance the apoptotic effect of ATO.

Background and purpose: Ursolic acid is widely present in spica prunellae, hedyotis diffusa and other heat antidotes. The growth of a variety of tumor cells can be inhibited and induced apoptosis by ursolic acid.This study was aimed to investigate the effect and possible mechanisms of UA on inducing apoptosis of human gastric carcinoma BGC823 cells. Methods: The MTT assay was used to detect the antiproliferative effect of UA on BGC823 cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell cycle and apoptosis of BGC823 cells. The expression level of bcl-2 and bax gene was investigated by real time-polymerase chain reaction (real time-PCR). Results: UA inhibited the proliferation of BGC823 cells in a dose and time-dependent way. After treatment by UA for 24. 48 and 72 h, the IC_(50) of BGC823 was 36.88, 34.72, and 32.18 μmol/L, respectively. UA could signifcantly induce apoptosis of BGC823 cells and block cells at G_2/M phase. UA could increase the expression of bax gene and decrease the expression of bcl-2 gene in a dose and time-dependent way. Conclusion: UA could induce apoptosis and inhibit the proliferation of BGC823 cells in a dose and time-dependent way. It could arrest cell cycle of BGC823 cells at G_2/M phase. Its mechanisms might be associated with the up-regulation of bax gene and down-regulation of bcl-2 gene.

Objective To study the effect of black granule capsules(BGCs) on growth of transplanted mouse hepatocarcinoma cells, cell proliferation cycle and apoptosis.Methods KM mouse were subcutaneously inoculated with Hepatocarcinoma cells (H22) and randomly divided into the model control group, the positive control group, the low, medium and high does of BGC group after 24h. The positive control group received intraperitoneal injection with 30 mg/kg cyclophosphamide. Mice of BGC groups were intragastricaly with different dosage of BGC (400, 800, 1 600 mg/kg). The model control group received intragastricaly with normal saline. The drugs were administrated once a day for seven days. The tumor inhibition rate was calculated at 24 h after the last administration. Flow cytometry was used to detect changes of cell cycle and apoptosis in harvested H22 tumor cells.Results The group of high does showed significant inhibitory effect on the growth of transplanted H22 tumor cells withthe inhibitory rate 38.78% (male) and 43.57% (female). Compared with model control group, groups of different dosages decreased time of G0-G1 phase (58.06% ± 9.65%, 55.10% ± 5.89%, 61.36% ± 15.95%vs. 74.47% ± 2.63%), increased tiem of Sphase (33.96% ± 11.90%, 32.67% ± 4.04%, 33.89% ± 9.82%vs. 14.37% ± 4.92%), and increased the apoptosis rate (31.12% ± 1.85%, 31.89% ± 2.16%, 40.64% ± 0.55%vs.21.75% ± 2.64%).Conclusion BGC has antitumor effect on mouse hepatocarcinoma H22 tumor cells, and its mechanism was to regulate cell proliferation cycle and induce the apoptosis.

Objective: To investigate the implementation and application effect of 1-hour bundle in the treatment of patients with sepsis. Methods: A convenient sampling method was conducted. 102 patients with sepsis admitted to central intensive care unit (ICU) of Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2018 to February 2019 were enrolled. Thirty-five patients with 3-hour and 6-hour bundle from January to September in 2018 were served as the control group, and 67 patients who received 1-hour bundle from October 2018 to February 2019 were served as the observation group. The patients in the control group was treated with 3-hour and 6-hour bundle according to 2012 international guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of severe sepsis and septic shock; and those in the observation group were treated and nursed according to the 1-hour bundle published by Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) update 2018, and the sepsis cluster treatment medical team was established. The team members were trained in relevant knowledge and discussed the possible obstacles within the team and propose feasible measures. The implementation of the 1-hour bundle in the observation group was recorded. The general data of the patients in both groups including gender, age, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ), etc. were collected, and the outcome indicators [duration of mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay, 28-day mortality] were observed. Results: In the observation group, 37 of 67 patients receiving 1-hour bundle met the target, with the overall achievement rate of 55.2% (37/67). Of the 37 eligible patients, 5 patients receiving 1-hour bundle met the target before the training of 1-hour bundle, accounting for only 33.3% (5/15) of the 15 patients who received 1-hour bundle during the same period. With the extension of training time, the achievement rate of sepsis 1-hour bundle was gradually increased [the achievement rate at 1 week and 4 weeks of training was 40.0% (4/10) and 52.4% (11/21), respectively], and increased to 81.0% (17/21) at the end of 12 weeks training. Thirty-seven patients who received 1-hour bundle and met the criteria were enrolled and compared with the control group. There was no significant difference in gender, age, or APACHEⅡ score between the two groups. Compared with the control group, the duration of mechanical ventilation and length of ICU stay of the observation group were significantly shortened (days: 6.15±0.49 vs. 7.24±0.53, days: 8.21±1.49 vs. 9.51±1.92), and the 28-day mortality was decreased significantly [10.8% (4/37) vs. 31.4% (11/35)], with statistically significant differences (all P < 0.05). Conclusions Through teamwork, discussion and improvement, the achievement rate of sepsis 1-hour bundle can be significantly improved. The use of sepsis 1-hour bundle can effectively decrease the duration of mechanical ventilation and length of ICU stay, and reduce the 28-day mortality.
