ObjectiveTo explore the prevalence of thyroid nodules and metabolic syndrome,and to analyze the correlation between thyroid nodules and the components of metabolic syndrome.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 8 217 people in our hospital health check-up center.Height,body weight,blood pressure,blood glucose,lipid profile,and liver function were measured and ultrasonic scanning of thyroid was performed.Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed according to criteria of CDS/2004.Results ( 1 ) The prevalence of thyroid nodules was 42.1％.The prevalence in women (49.6％) was significantly higher than that in men( 38.4％,P＜0.01.),and it was progressively increased with aging in both sexes.(2) The overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 21.7％.The prevalence in men( 28.5％ ) was significantly higher than that in women( 12.8％,P＜0.01 ),and was increased with age until 70 years old.( 3 ) Body mass index,systolic pressure,diastolic pressure,blood glucose,triglyceride in subject with thyroid nodules (TN) were higher than those in subjects without ( non-TN,P＜0.05 ).No difference in the levels of HDL-C was found between cases with TN and non-TN ( P＞0.05 ).(4) Logistic regression analysis revealed that the existence of thyroid nodules was significantly associated with overweight/obesity ( OR =1.263,95 ％ CI 1.134-1.407 ) after adjusting age and sex.Conclusion( 1 ) The prevalences of thyroid nodules and metabolic syndrome are high,and both prevalence increase with advancing age.(2) Obesity or overweight might be a risk factor for the development of thyroid nodules.

ObjectiveTo investigate the positive rate of thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPO-Ab) in the diabetic in-patients. MethodsThe positive rates of thyroid peroxidase antibody ( TPO-Ab ) was measured in 1884 subjects, including 1508 type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM ), 76 classic typetype 1 diabeties( T1 DM ), 44 latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and 256 "untype" diabetics ( NTDM ). Clinical data were registered and analyzed. Results( 1 )The positive rates of TPO-Ab were 14. 59％ in T2DM(220/1508) ,42. 11％ in T1DM (32/76) ,31.25％ in NTDM ( 80/256 ), 63.64％ in LADA group ( 28/44 ), respectively. The positive rate of T2DM was significantly lower than that of LADA ( P ＜ 0. 05 ), but no significant difference was found in the coparison between T1 DM and NTDM ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). ( 2 ) There were no significant differences between LADA and NTDM groups in the comparison of age, course of disease and BMI ( Ps ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusion①The positive rate of TPO-Ab in NTDM was significantly higher than that of T2DM, whereas significantly lower than that of T1 DM and LADA.②The positive rate of TPO-Ab was highest in LADA, which indicate that LADA and AIT might have the common etiological mechanisms. ③There is a consisted increasing trend in the positive rate of TPO-Ab from T2DM ,NTDM,and classic T1DM to LADA.

Objective This study was designed to investigate the importance of H2S in rats with adriamycin-induced dilated cardiomyopathy.Methods Weight-matched adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups as follows:(1)the ADR group(n=12)where adriamycin(2.5 mg/kg)was given once a week;(2)ADR + small-dose NaHS group(n=12)where NaHS solution [2.8 ?mol/(kg?d)] was given;(3)ADR+large-dose NaHS group(n=12)where NaHS solution [14 ?mol/(kg?d)] was given;(4)the control group(n=9)where physiological saline was administered instead of adriamycin.(5)NaHS group(n=9)where NaHS solution [14 ?mol/(kg?d)]was given.Hemodynamic and echocardiographic measurements were carried out after treatment.Histological examination was implemented at the 10th week after the rats were sacrificed.Meanwhile,H2S concentrations in serum and myocardial tissues were evaluated by modified sulfide electrode method.Results The heart function of ADR rats decreased obviously.Pathological examination demonstrated that characteristics consistentwith cardiomyopathy were found in ADR group.H2S concentrations in serum and myocardial tissues of the rats in ADR group were both significantly decreased as compared with those in the control group(both P

Objective To explore the effects of different weeks of high intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate intensity aerobic exercise on maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and the expression of the skeletal muscle oxidative capacity related factor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and peroxisome proliferators γactivated receptor coativator-1-α (PGC-1α),so as to provide the basis for the choice of effective load intensity.Methods One hundred and twenty 6-week-old SPF male Wistar rats were equally randomized into 3 groups according to their body weight:a sedentary control group (not receiving any exercise),a moderate-intensity exercise group (undergoing 50-min continuous running at an intensity of 60％-70％ VO2max) and a HIIT group (conducting 3-min running at 90％ VO2max interspersed with 3-min recovery periods at 50％ VO2max and repeating that process 6 times,with a 7-min warm-up and cool-down period at 70％ VO2max).All rats except those in the control group exercised five days a week and 50min per day.All rats were measured their weight at 8:00-9:00am every Sunday.Soleus was taken from ten randomly chosen rats of each group at 2nd,4th,6th and 10th week after the onset of the intervention.The VO2max test was done before taking muscles.Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of AMPK and PGC-1α.Results (1) Both the exercise duration and mode had a significant impact on rats' body weight,and they had interaction with each other (P＜0.01).(2) The average PGC-1α expression in the skeletal muscle of 10-week HIIT group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05),and the average VO2max at the same time was also significantly higher than the other two groups.(3) In the HIIT group,the average VO2max at the 10th week was significantly higher than that at the 2nd,4th and 6th week (P＜ 0.05).The average protein expression of AMPK in the skeletal muscle at the 4th week in the moderate-intensity exercise group was significantly higher than that at the 2nd and 6th week of the same group,and that at the 2nd week of the control group (P＜0.05).The average protein expression of PGC-1α in the HIIT group from the 2nd to the 10th week was significantly higher than the control group at the 2nd week (P＜0.05).(4)The protein expression of PGC-1α was significantly correlated with temporal variation of VO2max in the HIIT group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Ten-week HIIT can effectively promote the expression of AMPK and PGC-1α in skeletal muscles and the maximal oxygen uptake.It plays a more quick and effective role in improving oxidant capacity and cardiorespiratory endurance of skeletal muscles than traditional moderate-intensity exercises.

AIM: To investigate the effects of oridonin on the invasion and migration of hepatocelluar carcinoma cells.METHODS: Human hepatocelluar carcinoma MHCC-97H cells were cultured and treated with 5, 10 or 20 μmol/L oridonin.The migration ability was measured by wound healing assay.The invasion ability was examined by Transwell invasion assay.The adhesion capabilities were evaluated by adhesion assay.The protein levels of LIM kinase-1 (LIMK-1), cofilin and phosphorylated cofilin (p-cofilin) were determined by Western blot.RESULTS: Oridonin inhibited the migration, invasion and adhesion abilities of MHCC-97H cells in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05).After oridonin treatment, the expression of cofilin had no obvious change, but the protein levels of LIMK-1 and p-cofilin decreased significantly.CONCLUSION: Oridonin inhibits the invasion and migration of MHCC-97H cells.The mechanism may be related with the regulatory effect of oridonin on LIMK-1/cofilin signal transduction pathway.
