目的探讨辽宁省机关干部肥胖的患病率及其危险因素以及肥胖与其他代谢异常的关系。方法对辽宁省1680名机关干部随机抽样进行体格检查,并进行肥胖患病率的流行病学调查。结果本组人群肥胖患病率为20.42%,其中男性27.8%,女性21.9%,男女性之间有显著性差异(P<0.05);不同年龄组间肥胖患病率亦有显著性差异,其中以40~50岁中青年干部肥胖患病率最高,为26.25%;肥胖与生活方式及其他代谢异常密切相关。结论中青年机关干部的肥胖患病率明显高于中老年组,且与不良生活方式有关,同时合并有其他代谢紊乱。

BACKGROUND:Neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine can induce the clinical, biochemical and pathological characteristics similar to those observed in primary Parkinson’s disease. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the proliferation of endogenous neural stem cells of Parkinson’s disease model mice and the mood change.
METHODS:A total of 72 male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups:normal saline group, Parkinson’s disease model group (model group), sham-repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation group (sham group) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation group. The mice received 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine injection×4 to establish acute Parkinson’s disease models. The mice in the normal saline group were injected the same volume saline. And 24 hours after the last injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3, 6-tetrahydropyridine, the mice in the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation group received five trains of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, 1 Hz for 25 seconds, at an intensity of 1 Tesla daily for 1, 3, 7 consecutive days. Sham group mice were not exposed to the magnetic field. No treatment was performed in the mice of model group. The mood change was evaluated using the elevated-plus maze testing before and after repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment. The change in expression of nestin in the subventricular zone was observed by using immunohistochemical technique.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Elevated-plus maze testing:There was no statistical significance about percentage of opening arm time accounting for total time among groups and at different time points in each group, but after stimulation, the percentage of opening arm time accounting for total time showed a declined tendency. (2) The results of nestin immunohistochemical staining:Compared to the normal saline group, the number of nestin-positive cells of the model group was increased at days 3 and 7, and there was no statistical significance in the number of nestin-positive cells between model group and sham group;Compared to the sham group and model group, the number of nestin-positive cells of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation group were evidently increased;The proliferation of endogenous neural stem cells was time-dependent, endogenous neural stem cells exhibited outward migration gradual y along the certain way, and some cells were able to migrate to the corpus cal osum at day 3, and even to the cerebral cortex at day 7. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can promote the endogenous neural stem cells in a time-depended manner.

Objective To study the anti-calcification function properties of bovine jugular conduit with valves stabilized by dye-mediated photooxidation.Methods Sixteen bovine jugular conduit with valves were divided into two groups and treated with dye-mediated photooxidation(groupⅠ) and glutaraldehyde(group Ⅱ).The bovine jugular vein was cut into pieces and implanted subcutaneously in the 16 weanling SD rats.After 90 days,all the rats were sacrificed and the retrieved specimens were undergone histological examination by electron microscope and microscope.The calcium content was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer.Results The walls and valves of bovine jugular vein treated by dye-mediated photooxidation had less calcification than those of the group Ⅱ.Conclusion The dye-mediated photooxidation can effectively preserve the calcification of bovine jugular conduit with valves compared with the way treated by glutaraldehyde.

Objective To investigate the effect of rapamycin (RAPA) on mitochondrial injury in a mouse model of aging Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods Forty senescence-accelerated prone mice 8 (SAMP8) (12-month old) were randomly divided into 5 groups:blank group,model group,and RAPA low-,middle-,and high-dose groups.Mice in the model group and three RAPA groups were administered a subcutaneous injection of MPTP to generate the PD model.RAPA at 1,2,and 4 mg· kg 1· d 1 was administered from 7 days before,5 days during,and 7 days after the PD model preparation to the RAPA groups;an equal volume of sterile saline was administered to the other two groups.After the administration,behavioral test scores,dopamine levels,transmembrane potential of mitochondria,and activity of mitochondrial complex Ⅰ in the 5 groups were evaluated.Results Behavioral scores,dopamine levels,transmembrane potential,mitochondrial complex Ⅰ activity of mice in the model group were significantly decreased compared with the blank group (P < 0.05 respectively).All indexes in the RAPA groups were significantly improved compared to the model group (P < 0.05 respectively).There was no significant difference among the three RAPA groups.Conclusion RAPA has a protective effect on aging PD model mice,and its mechanism may be related to the protection against mitochondrial damage.
