Aim To investigate endoplasmic reticulum stress ( ERS)-mediated high-fat diet and palmitic acid-induced insulin resistance ( IR) in skeletal muscle and interventional effects of fenofibrate both in vivo and in vitro tests. Methods Female SD rats were randomly subjected to a standard control diet ( SCD) or high-fat diet ( HFD) for 20 weeks, then the HFD group was di-vided into high-fat-diet group and high-fat-diet group treated with fenofibrate ( HFD +FF, 30 mg · kg-1 · d-1 ) for another 8 weeks. The changes of IR and ex-pression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α( PPARα) , glucose regulated protein 78 ( GRP78 ) and transcription factors GADD153 ( CHOP ) were as-sessed respectively. C2C12 myotubes were divided into normal control group ( NC ) , model group ( palmitic acid, PA) , postive control drug group ( tunicamycin, TM) and treatment group ( fenofibric acid, FA+PA) , the expressions of GRP78 and CHOP were assessed re-spectively. Insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of Akt was also analyzed to detect changes of insulin sensitivi-ty in C2 C12 . Results The high-fat diet induced obvi-ous IR and upregulated ERS markers GRP78 and CHOP in skeletal muscle of rats, and these responses were attenuated by treatment with fenofibrate. Incuba-tion of myotubes with palmitic acid or tunicamycin sig-nificantly increased expression of ERS markers GRP78 and CHOP. Meanwhile, insulin-stimulated phosphoryl-ation of Akt was inhibited obviously. Pre-incubation with FA markedly inverted PA-induced ERS and insu-lin-stimulated phosphorylation of Akt. Conclusion Fenofibrate ( fenofibric acid) has obvious effects of IR on skeletal muscle tissues and cells, which may be re-lated with reduced expression of GRP78 and CHOP in ERS.

AIM: To compare the adherent ability of Acanthamoeba to three kinds of contact lens (CL) and survey the effect to remove the Acanthamoeba from the surface of contact lens after blowing with stroke-physiological saline solution (SPSS) repeatedly.METHODS: Three kinds of contact lens were chosen in this experiment, including: rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens, soft contact lens (SCL) and colored contact lens. They were co-cultivated with Acanthamoeba suspension for 16 hours. Then the number of Acanthamoeba adhered on CL was compared. Comparison was also made between different zones of colored CL. We also compared the number of Acanthamoeba adhered on CL in three groups after blowing with SPSS.RESULTS: The number of Acanthamoeba adhered to colored CL was more than RGP group and SCL group (P<0.05). The differences between RGP group and SCL group had no statistical significance (P>0.05). In colored CL group, the number of Acanthamoeba adhered to the colored zone was more than the Uncolored zone (P<0.01). In all the three groups, after blowing with SPSS, there was statistically significant decrease of the number of Acanthamoeba adhered to CL (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Compared with RGP group and SCL group, the colored contact lens was more vulnerable to be adhered by Acanthamoeba. After being blown by SPSS repeatedly, the effect to eliminate Acanthamoeba has been improved greatly.
