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.

Objective To analyze the determinants of television viewing among people in China,and to provide basic information for developing intervention strategies.Methods The data of 66 601 subjects aged 6 years and over(male 32 254,female 34 347) on television viewing from 2002 China National Nutrition and Health Survey was used.Results The prevalence of watching TV 2h and over among Chinese residents was 60.6%.Female had a decreased likelihood of watching TV 2h and over(adjusted odds ratio,AOR: 0.78).Children aged 13～17 years had a decreased likelihood of watching TV 2 h and over(AOR: 0.71) compared with younger children,however,adults had an increased likelihood(AOR: 1.34 for 18~44 yr,1.16 for 45～59 yr,1.04 for 60 yr and over).Light intense occupations were associated with an increased likelihood of watching TV 2 h and over(AOR: 7.18).Higher family income had an increased likelihood of watching TV 2 h and over(AOR: 1.12,1.07).Highest education level was associated with a decreased likelihood of watching TV 2h and over(AOR: 0.91).Engaging in exercise was associated with a decreased likelihood of watching TV 2h and over(AOR: 0.74).Conclusion Age,gender,socioeconomic status and exercise can influence the time spending on TV among Chinese residents.

Objective To study the characteristics of peripheral nerve conduction (PNC) in advanced-stage amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients undergoing mechanical ventilation.Methods The sensory conduction velocity (SCV),motor conduction velocity(MCV),distal motor latency(DML) and amplitude of compound muscle action potential(CMAP) were determined in three ALS patients undergoing mechanical ventilation.The clinical data and PNC characteristics of the patients were analyzed.Results The 12 motor nerves were abnormal in all the three patients,including absence of responsive wave (66.7%,8/12),decreased amplitude of CMAP(33.3%,4 /12),prolongation of DML(16.7%,2 /12) and reduction of MCV(16.7%,2 /12).The CMAP amplitude of patients gradually decreased with the progression of disease,and finally led to adverse reactions.The SCV and amplitude of sensory nerve action potential were normal in all the three patients.Conclusion ALS patients undergoing mechanical ventilation may have severely damaged motor nerve conduction,and their sensory nerve is generally not affected,with the specific reason remains to be further studied.

Objective To summarize the clinical, electrophysiological, pathological characteristics of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). Methods From Jan 1990 to Dec 2003, 32 patients of CIDP were admitted by our hospital, 14 male and 18 female. The age range of onset of illness was 13 to 74 years old (averaging 42.56) with the prime period of 40 to 50. Before hospitalization, the course was from 2 months to 5 years. Among all patients, there were 8 cases of a relapsing course and 24 cases of a chronic progressive course. Twenty-four patients were treated with corticosteroids, while 7 received immuglobin (IG) and corticosteroids. The clinical data before and after the treatment was studied retrospectively. Results Most of the patients had subacute or chronic onsets. The common initial symptoms are numbness, paresthesia, and extremity weakness. Diplopia, decreased visual acuity, dysarthria, and dysphagia could also be found initially. It was usually a symmetric sensorimotor neuropathy with either a relapsing course or a chronic progressive course. It could be accompanied with autonomic dysfunction and cranial nerve involvement. Electromyogram demonstrated that the motive and sensory nerve conduction velocities were slow. The sural nerve biopsy showed demyelination and remyelination. `IG and corticosteroids were both effective. Conclusion CIDP might result in widespread peripheral nerve damages, in which autonomic dysfunction and cranial nerve involvement were common. The dominant electrophysiological changes showed peripheral nerve demyelination accompanied by axon degeneration. The sural nerve biopsy played an important role of diagnosis. The treatment with IG and corticosteroids was a most effective way for CIDP nowadays.

Objective To explore the expression of ErbB3 in osteosarcoma cell lines Saos-2 and its significance.Methods Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detected ErbB3 mRNA expression in osteosarcoma cell lines Saos-2 and normal human osteoblasts cell lines N704,and Western blotting was used to detected ErbB3 protein expression.Short hairpin RNA was used to construct ErbB3 knockdown cells and the cell count in 0-3 d was detected.The 48 h survival rates of ErbB3 knockdown cells and normal Saos-2 cells were detected in the presence of 0-100 μmol/L paclitaxel.Results Real-time quantitative PCR showed significant enhanced ErbB3 mRNA expression in Saos-2 cells compared with N704 [(4.15 ± 0.04) times,t =7.31,P ＜0.05],and Western blotting showed significant enhanced ErbB3 expression in Saos-2 cells compared with N704.As compared with normal Saos-2 cells,ErbB3 knockdown could reduce the Saos-2 cells proliferation,at the first three days in culture,the Saos-2 cell number of ErbB3 silent was (22.2 ± 2.9) thousand,and the control was (45.8 ± 4.1) thousand,with statistical significance (t =8.23,P ＜ 0.05).Moreover,ErbB3 knockdown could reduce the Saos-2 cells tolerance to paclitaxel,when treated with 20 μmol/L paclitaxel,surviving cells in ErbB3 silent group was (43.2 ± 4.7) ％,and the control was (61.4 ± 5.9) ％,with statistical significance (t =6.74,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion ErbB3 highly expresses in Saos-2 cells,ErbB3 expression can enhance the proliferation of Saos-2 cells and the tolerance of Saos-2 cells to paclitaxel.

Objective:To investigate the expression and function of RIP3 in the liver of rats following ischemic postconditioning.Methods:The model of 70％ hepatic ischemia and reperfusion was established,then a total of forty healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were divided randomly into four groups,ten rats in each group:a sham-operation group (Sham group);an ischemia reperfusion injury group(IR group);an ischemic postconditioning group(IPO group);an ischemic postconditioning and necrostatin-1 group (Nec-1 group).The blood samples and liver tissues were collected.The serum levels of ALT and AST were detected,and the liver histological examination was performed.Western-bolt was used to detect the TNF-α and RIP3 levels.Results:Compared with the IR group,ALT and AST in serum were significantly declined in the IPO group (P＜0.05);The liver damage after ischemia and reperfusion was improved obviously in the IPO group compared to which in the IR group;The Suzuki's scores was increased in the IR group compared to which in the IPO group (P＜0.05);There was a low grade of TNF-α and RIP3 in the Sham group,whereas the level of TNF-α and RIP3 significantly increased in the IR and IPO and Nec-1 group(P＜0.05);Compared with the IR group,the level of RIP3 was further decreased in the IPO group (P＜0.05);Compared with the IPO group,the level of RIP3 was further decreased in the Nec-1 group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:RIP3-mediated necroptosis was involved during hepatic ischemia postconditioning,and the protective effect of ischemia postconditioning may act as reducing necroptosis by cutting down the levels of RIP3.

Objective To study the effect of infrasound on expression of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and tau pro-tein in hippocampus of rats. Methods Fifty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into control group (n=8), 1-day group (n=8), 7-day group (n=8) and 14-day group (n=32), and the 14-day group was subgrouped as 1-hour, 6-hour, 24-hour, 48-hour subgroups, naming after the time after infrasound exposure, 8 in each subgroup. All the test groups were put in an infrasound field with 8 Hz, 130 dB for 2 hours daily, while the control group was put in the infrasound instrument without infrasound exposure for 2 hours daily. The expression of pT286-CaMKII and tau protein in hippocampus was detected with immunohistochemisty, Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunoabsor-bent assay. Results The expression of pT286-CaMKII was the most in 14-day group (F>14.912, P<0.001), as well as the expression of tau pro-tein (F>36.229, P<0.001), and secondary in 7-day group (P<0.05). For 14-day group, the expression of tau protein was the most in 1-hour and 6-hour subgroups, and dropped down in 24-hour subgroup, although more than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Exposure of 8 Hz, 130 dB infrasound may induce phosphorylation of CaMKII and tau protein, and the expression of tau protein in hippocampal cells in rat, which may disturb their learning and memory function.

Objective: To design the “one-year physical activity questionnaire” used in 2002 China National Nutrition and Health Survey. Methods: The intensity of each activity in the questionnaire was assessed from literature review and experts consultation. The energy intake was calculated from food frequency questionnaire for validation of the physical activity questionnaire. Results: The average daily energy expenditure per capita estimated from the questionnaire was 11.6MJ (male 11.9MJ, female 11.2MJ). The average physical activity level (PAL) was 1.95 (male 1.88, female 2.02). There was significant correlation between energy expenditure and energy intake (r = 0.13, P
