Objective: To analyze the epidemiological status of overweight and obesity in various student groups and the prevalence changes in recent 15 years, in order to take effective preventive measures against obesity. Methods: Students aged 7 through 22 years participated in the 1985 and 2000 National Surveys on Students Constitution and Health were used as subjects. The newly established BMI screening criteria for overweight and obesity, to analyze the prevalence among various populations. Results: In 2000, the prevalence rates of obesity were 4.37%,1.46%,2.32% and 0.92%,and that of overweight were 10.38%,4.34%,5.94% and 3.67% for the urban boys, rural boys,urban girls and rural girls, respectively, which were all significantly increased in multiple times as compared with those in 1985. However, significant differences could be found among various areas. The prevalence rates of obesity in several metropolitans have reached 9.63% for males and 4.50% for females, and those of overweight have reached 15.29% for males and 8.77% for females, respectively. Most of the other areas are still staying at the early prevalence stage. The prevalence of obesity in the Western China is generally low, and actually no prevalence of obesity is found in the rural female population. Conclusion: It’s an urgent task to act on a series of comprehensive measures to prevent and cure the obesity of youth in China’s developed areas from now on. However, corresponding effective measures of obesity prevention are also needed in other areas of this country.

BACKGROUND: Having breakfast everyday is a behavior promoting health recommended WHO, while it is easy to be ignored.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the breakfast habits of pupils in Beijing and Shanghai so as to provide a scientific basis for further studying the problems in having breakfast among the pupils, drafting and developing "nutritious breakfast program for students".DESIGN: Stratified and cluster sampling and investigation study were used based on the pupils.SETTING: Institute of health for child of two universities.SUBJECTS: A total of 8688 six to eleven years old Beijing and Shanghai pupils were involved from March 2002 to June 2002. Among them 4692 pupils came from Beijing. There were 4637 valid questionnaires, 2386 of which were from male pupils and 2251 from female pupiIs. Among the total subjects, there were 4300 Shanghai pupils, and 4051 questionnaires were valid, of which 2031 were from the male pupils and 2020 from female students.METHODS: A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted. The content of the questionnaire included the general conditions of the family, dietary preferences, food for breakfast, consumption of the milk food and so on.RESULTS: The results showed that about 25.8% boys and 21.6% girls in Beijing did not eat breakfast regularly; similarly, the percentage was about 11.4% for boys and 13.3% for girls in Shanghai. The reasons for not having breakfast included the following: They had no appetite, or had no enough time for it, or the parents were too busy to prepare in the mornings. For those of them who eat breakfasts, the nutrients of their breakfast usually were not adequate. 55% of the students had their breakfast prepared by their mothers. As for the eating sites, students mainly ate at home; the next was having it on the way to school or eating at the roadside luncheonettes. The cost of breakfast was 2 - 3 yuan. The breakfast behaviors of the pupils were closely related with the behaviors of their mothers( r = 0. 4333, P < 0.01 ).CONCLUSION: It is suggested that quality of breakfast of the pupils need to be improved. The behaviors of the parents influence their children in breakfast habits.

Objective To analyze the epidemic characteristics of mushroom poisoning incident in order to find the regularity of outbreak and provide the fundamental guidelines of prophylaxis,control,diagnosis and treatment.Methods According to the reported information from the Management Information System of Public Health Emergency in China mainland,the area-time distribution of mushroom poisoning incidents from 2004 to 2014 was analyzed,and the descriptive analysis of mushrooms poisoning incidents including causes,places,occupation of victims and incidents identification were made from 2010 to 2014.Results In China (excluding Hong Kong,Macao and Taiwan),the top five provinces of mushroom poisoning incidents were Yunnan,Guizhou,Sichuan,Guangxi and Hunan.The epidemic peak was reached in summer-autumn season.The major and significant incidents accounted for 76.56％ of overall mushroom poisoning incidents,and the fatality rate of 3 701 patients accounted for 21.24％ (786 deaths).The causes were mistaking poisonous mushrooms as edible mushrooms or purchasing poisonous mushrooms in the market by accident.About 87.50％ incidents happened at home.Farmers,workers,children and students were easily subjected to mushroom poisoning because of their large range of activities,strong curiosity and lacking related ability for distinguishing edible mushroom from poisonous mushrooms.No identification was done in 200 mushroom poisoning incidents from 2010 to 2014,which accounted for 92.59％ of mushroom poisoning incidents in the corresponding period.Standard species identification was carried out only in two poisonous mushroom incidents.Conclusions Mushroom poisoning incident was one of the most important causes of death in per-oral poisoning incidents.It should to cope with surveillance and meticulous management during high prevalence season and in high-risk provinces.At the same time,it should be strengthened to train doctors and health professionals with the knowledge of identification of mushroom poisoning in key areas as well as to develop the health promotion of mushrooms poisoning prevention.

CONCLUSION: The adjustment to the apoposis of tumor cell by matrine and terandrine is related to the reversion of being obtained multi-drug resistance to tumor cell' expression,besides the different degree

Objective To establish acute hepatotoxic model induced by Amanita exitialis and to study the characteristics of acute toxic liver failure induced by mushrooms containing peptide toxins,in hope for providing some help to experimental research on poisoning induced by mushrooms containing peptide toxins.Methods UPLC-MS/MS (Ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry) method was used to detect peptide toxins in Amanita exitialis.To establish acute toxic liver hepatic failure model,the beagles were fed with 60 mg/kg of lyophilized powder of Amanita exitialis fungus which encapsulated in starch capsules.Toxic sighs were observed,coagulation function,hepatic and renal function,liver histopathological morphology,peptide toxin concentration in plasma and urine were detected during the experiment.Results Total peptide toxins in Amanita exitialis was (3 482.6 ± 124.94) mg/ kg.All the beagles had toxic signs including vomiting and diarrhea in 12-48 h after ingestion.On 24 h after ingestion,the beagles' ALT,AST,TBIL,ALP,PT and APTT levels increased obviously.On 36 h after ingestion,the beagles' ALT,AST,PT and APTT values reached their peaks (ALT:283.2 ± 112.9 Kallmann unit;AST:223.9 ±93.8 Kallmann units;PT:132.9 ± 152.6 s;APTT:131.4 ± 153.9 s).On 48 h after ingestion,the beagles' TBIL and ALP levels reached their peaks (TBIL:23.3 ± 14.6 mol/L;ALP:274.5 ± 115.5 U/L).The beagles' TBIL,TP and APTT returned to normal 1 week after ingestion,their ALT,AST and ALP levels returned to normal 3 weeks after ingestion.Three dogs died during 24-72 h after ingestion.Liver histopathological morphology study showed hemorrhagic necrosis of hepatocytes.Peptide toxins can be detected in plasma within 24 h after ingestion.Peptide toxins can be detected in urine within 96 h after ingestion.Conclusion Amanita peptide toxins can cause hemorrhagic necrosis of liver cells and lead to acute liver failure.This model is consistent with clinical pathophysiological process of acute toxic liver failure induced by mushrooms containing peptide toxins,and it can be applied to the study of diagnosis and treatment of poisoning induced by mushrooms containing peptide toxins.

Objective To evaluate the applicability of activated charcoal in treatment of oral poisoning. Methods The feasibility of clinical manipulation and tastiness of 4 forms of activated charcoal were investigated, with different dosage forms in 35 nurses and 50 volunteers, respectively. The feasibility of the clinical manipulation was assessed by gastrelavage time and block numbers of stomach duet,and the tastiness by volunteers' taking orally. Results The gastrolavage time (151.8±17.8) s for powder, (96.9±24.80) s for suspension, (319.0±82.4) s for tablet and (314.3±93.3) s for suspension(P <0.001). Conclusion There are significant differences in the applicability of activated charcoal in different dosage forms. The suspension is the best form in feasibility. Capsule and tablet are better than powder and suspension in tastiness. Suspension and powder are the worst to accept.

Objective To observe the effects of functional ambulation training in a realistic environment based on the activities of daily living among stroke patients with hemiplegia.Methods Thirty-two stroke survivors with hemiplegia were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group,each of 16.Both groups were given routine rehabilitation training,while the experimental group was additionally given functional ambulation training based on the activities of daily living in a realistic environment for 60 min per day,five days a week for six weeks.Both groups were evaluated using the mini-mental state examination (MMSE),the Holden walking functional class assessment (HWFCA),the Berg balance scale (BBS),functional gait assessment (FGA),the 5 times sit to stand test (FTSST),the timed up and go test (TUGT),and rated using the specific activity balance confidence scale (ABC) and the modified Barthel index (MBI).Results Before the training,no significant differences between the two groups were found in terms of any of the measurements.After the six weeks of training,significant improvement was observed in all of the outcome measures except the MMSE and the HWFCA,with the experimental group scoring significantly better,on average,than the control group.Conclusion When combined with routine rehabilitation training,functional ambulation training based on the activities of daily living in a realistic environment can significantly enhance the functional gait,balance and postural control of stroke survivors.This should facilitate their activities in daily life and improve their confidence in maintaining their balance.

In order to obtain glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1)analogs which can sustainedly control the levels of glucose, 12 derivatives were designed and synthesized by coupling monomethoxy polyethylene glycol(mPEG, with average molecular weights of 350, 550 and 750)to GLP-1 analogs. Preliminary pharmacological activities showed that all compounds retained GLP-1 receptor agonist activities, and the hypoglycemic activity of compound I-12 was similar to those of Ex-4 and Liraglutide, suggesting I-12 could be a potential long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist.

Objective To measure the concentration of serum transthyretin (TTR) of patients with different stages of diabetic retinopathy (DR).Methods A total of 176 patients with diabetes mellitus were included in this study.There were 104 males and 72 females.The patients aged from 21 to 74 years,with the mean age of(56± 11) years.The diabetes duration raged from 1 to 30 years,with the mean diabetes duration of (10 ± 7) years.The HbA 1C was 5.2％-14.1％,with the mean HbA 1C of (8.6 ± 2.0)％.According to the fundus examination,58 patients had DR (33.0％),but the other 118 patients not (67.0％).For these DR patients,10 patients were in stage Ⅰ (5.7％),26 patients in stage Ⅱ (14.8％),8 patients in stage Ⅲ (4.5％),and 14 patients in stage Ⅳ (8.0％).The concentration of serum TTR was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbentassay kit.The differences in the concentration of serum TTR between different DR stages were compared.Bivariate analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of TTR.Results The concentrations of serum TTR of the patients without DR or with DR of stage Ⅰ to Ⅳ were (224.96±65.47),(383.68± 102.99),(247.44±63.21),(228.2 ± 45.89),(189.34± 70.12) mg/L,respectively.The difference between different DR stages was statistically significant (F=14.690,P＜ 0.001).Bivariate analysis showed that the concentration of TTR was correlation to DR (r=0.179,P=0.017).There was no correlation between the concentration of TTR and diabetes duration (r=-0.027,P=0.727),hypertension (r=0.018,P=0.810),hyperlipoidemia (r=0.101,P=0.182),and the use of insulin (r=-0.032,P=0.675).Conclusion The concentration of serum TTR was increased in early DR patients,and gradually decreased with the progression of DR.The concentration of TTR is correlated to DR.
