Abstract: To investigate the factors affecting lean non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), so as to provide the reference for the prevention and treatment of lean NAFLD. Methods: Individuals who underwent physical examination at Huzhou Central Hospital from January 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024 and had a body mass index (BMI) <23 kg/m2 was selected. Demographic information, lifestyle behaviors, dietary habits and physical examination data were collected through questionnaire surveys. Lean NAFLD was assessed using abdominal ultrasonography combined with BMI. Factors affecting lean NAFLD were analyzed by using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 627 individuals were surveyed, with a mean BMI of (20.83±2.01) kg/m2. There were 349 males (55.66%) and 278 females (44.34%). Lean NAFLD was detected in 74 cases, with a detection rate of 11.80%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified BMI (OR=1.830, 95%CI: 1.165-2.869), gender (male, OR=2.615, 95%CI: 1.402-4.875), triglycerides (OR=3.062, 95%CI: 1.613-5.812), alanine aminotransferase (OR=1.587, 95%CI: 1.106-2.277), vegetable and fruit intake (150-300 g/d, OR=0.416, 95%CI: 0.230-0.752; >300 g/d, OR=0.303, 95%CI: 0.141-0.649), dairy product intake (≥300 mL/d, OR=0.369, 95%CI: 0.195-0.701) and sugared beverage intake (1-250 mL/d, OR=1.601, 95%CI: 1.071-2.393; >250 mL/d, OR=2.438, 95%CI: 1.363-4.354) as factors affecting lean NAFLD. Conclusion The risk of lean NAFLD is associated with BMI, gender, triglyceride, alanine aminotransferase, and the vegetable and fruit, dairy product and sugared beverage intake.

Objective To investigate the effect of the serum obtained from rat with hepatopuimonary syndrome (HPS) on Akt mRNA and protein expression in rat pulmonary microvascular endotheliai cells (PMVECs) and the role of Akt signaling pathway in the proliferation of PMVECs in the HPS. Methods Healthy 3-4-month-old SD rats of both sexes were used in this study. HPS was produced by chronic ligation of common bile duct according to the method described by Fallon. liver cirrhosis and pulmonary microvascular proliferation were verified by microscopic examination of the liver and lung tissue 2 weeks after bile duct ligation. Serum was obtained from blood taken from aorta of HPS rats. Primary PMVECs were cultured and randomly divided into 2 groups: control group and HPS group. In HPS group serum was added to cultured PMVECs (final concentration was 10%) and incubated. Akt mRNA and protein expression was determined at 24, 48 and 72 h of incubation by RT-PCR and Western blot. The proliferation of PMVECs was detected by MTT and ~3H-TdR. Results The proliferation of PMVECs was significantly enhanced and the expression of Akt mRNA and protein was significantly increased in HPS group as compared with control group. Conclusion The Akt signaling pathway might play an important role in proliferation of PMVECs in the HPS.

BACKGROUND: Free radicals are produced during ischemia, which can strengthen activity of lipid peroxidation; induce lesion of cell and cellular barrier, result in necrosis or apoptosis of neurons; and aggravate edema of ischemic cerebral tissue.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of polydatin (PD) on free radicals, lipid peroxidation, water contents and pathological morphology of brain tissue in rats with focal cerebral ischemia so as to explore its protective mechanisms.DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial.SETTING: Intensive Care Unit, Second Affiliated Hospital, Chongqing University of Medical Sciences; Pediatric Research Institute, Children's Hospital Chongqing University of Medical Sciences.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out at the Pediatrics Medicine Institute of Chongqing Medical University from October 2001 to July 2002.Totally 48 healthy adult male Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups randomly,with 16 in each group. Group Ⅰ was sham-operated group: rats were anaesthetized, the right common carotid arteries were separated instead of being occluded. Group Ⅱ was ischemia group: to establish the right middle cerebral artery occlusion model of rats. Group Ⅲ was PD pretreatment group: polydatin (6 g/L, 12 mg/kg) were intravenously administrated 30 minutes before the onset of ischemia. Saline substituted for PD, besides, were intravenously administrated with the same way and dosage on Group Ⅰ, Group Ⅱ and Group Ⅲ.The rats were decapitated and the brains were immediately removed after cerebral ischemia 2 hours. In each group, 8 rats were chosen to be determined water contents of brain tissue, the other 8 rats were chosen to be determined levels of lipid peroxidation and free radicals in brain tissue.METHODS: According to the formula which was: wet weight-dry weight/wet weight×100%, water content of cerebral tissue was assayed. Superior liquid was taken to assay MDA with spectrophotometer thiobarbituric acid method (TBA) method, SOD activity assayed by xanthiue oxidase enzyme method, the activities of GSH-Px, CAT and NOS determined by colorimetry,the amount of protein determined by the method of Lowry. All the procedures were carried out strictly according to the instruction.malonaldehyde (MDA) and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase (CAT) and nitric oxide synthase chemia, contents of SOD, GSH-Px and CAT in cerebral tissue of PD group were obviously higher than those of ichemia model group [(226.43±8.69),(193.37±11.14) NU/mg; (244.38±12.34), (211.71±16.50) μkat/g; (59.85±9.67),water in cerebral tissue of PD group were obviously lower than those of ichemia model group [(6.38±0.54), (8.63±0.78) μmol/g; (78.72±0.43)%,tivity in ischemic tissue but the results were similar to that in ischemia model group [(12.00±1.00), (12.84±1.17) μkat/g, P ＞ 0.05] in brain tissue.ed that PD alleviated the ischemia edema of cerebral ischemia.CONCLUSION: PD can alleviate the reaction of lipid overoxidation, improve the activities of antioxidant-enxymes, reduce ischemia brain edema,protect the function of cell member, bring down the damage to ischemia neurons. It shows that PD has significant cerebral protective role on focal ischemia brain damage.

Objective To analyze the clinical and pathological characteristics of breast carcinoma in elderly female patients and to offer the standard clinical diagnosis and treatment for breast carcinoma.Methods A total of 178 patients admitted to Breast Center of Beijing Hospital from January to December 2011 were enrolled in this retrospective study.Patients were divided into non-elderly group and elderly group.Clinical features,imaging diagnosis,operation patterns and pathological diagnosis were recorded.The data were analyzed by using SAS 9.1 software.Results The patients diagnosed as breast carcinomas in BI-RAD 4-5 categories by mammography were much more in the elderly group than in the non-elderly group (82.1％ vs.63.0％,P＜0.05).The diagnostic accuracy rates of ultrasonography and mammography in the elderly group were comparable(P＞ 0.05),while in the non-elderly group,the diagnostic accuracy rate of ultrasonography was higher than that of mammography (P＜0.05).The incidence of concurrent diseases was higher in the elderly group than in the non-elderly group (P＜0.05).The patients undergoing breast resection operation were much more in the elderly group than in the non-elderly group (14 cases vs.3 cases,P＜0.05).The pathological diagnosis analysis showed that there were no significant differences in the number of ER-positive cells and PR-positive cells,tumor size,histological grade,pathological stage between the two groups (all P＞0.05).The incidence of lymph node metastasis was lower in the elderly group than in the non-elderly group (P＜0.05).The percentage of Ki-67 positive cells was lower in the elderly group than in the non-elderly group (P＜0.05).The percentage of CerbB-2 strongly positive (+++) cells was lower in the elderly group than in the non-elderly group (5.1 ％ vs.24％,P＜0.05).The invasive ductal carcinoma was the major histological type of breast cancer in both two groups,but there were more mixed type and other type carcinomas in the elderly group than in the non-elderly group (P＜0.05).Conclusions Ultrasonograpy and mammography have better sensitivity for breast cancer in elderly female patients.The surgical protocols are often influenced because more concurrent diseases have occurred in the elderly.There are significant differences in some prognostic factors between the two groups,which may imply a better prognosis in elderly patients.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the curative efficacy of granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) as an adjunctive therapy for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). METHODS: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of GM-CSF in the treatment of AML were retrieved from PubMed,EMBase,Cochrane Library,CBMdisc and CNKI database by computer as well as from the leukemia-related journals manually for a quality evaluation of the methodology and Meta analysis using RevMan5.0 software. RESULTS: A total of 10 RCTs were included,of which,3 RCTs were graded as A,5 as B and 2 as C. The results demonstrated that there were no significant differences of indexes among groups as complete remission (CR) rate,relapse rate,infection rate and length of hospital stay,etc. CONCLUSION: The available clinical research results showed that GM-CSF adjunctive therapy could neither increase CR rate,nor decrease the relapse rate,infection rate or length of hospital stay.

Objective To study the effects of natural walking on human plantar pressure and surface electromyogrphy (sEMG) of lower limbs.Methods 28 healthy male volunteers were enrolled,and their plantar pressure and surface electromyogrphy related parameters were measured before and after 30 min natural walking.These parameters not only include plantar peak pressure and peak impulse,but also include time domain parameter (integral electromyogrphy,iEMG) and frequency domain parameter (mean power frequency,MPF) of tibial anterior muscle,gastrocnemius,femoral rectus,and biceps femoris muscle.The correlations between peak pressure and height as well as weight were analyzed.Results The feature parameters showed significant difference between left and right foot before and after 30 min natural walking (all P＜0.05).The differences of peak pressure and peak impulse values between left and right limb were found in different plantar areas.In the metatarsal areas M3,M4 and M5,the pressure parameters of left side were larger than those of right side (all P＜0.05).The values of iEMG and sEMG of left limb were larger than those of right side in tibialis anterior,gastrocnemius,rectus femoris and biceps femoris (all P＜ 0.05).The MPF values of sEMG of left limb were larger than those of right side in tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius (all P＜0.05).After 30 min natural walking,the peak pressures in right toe2-5 areas were decreased (all P＜0.05),the differences of iEMG of sEMG in all muscles were not significantly,and the MPF value of sEMG in left rectus femoris was decreased.Weak correlations were observed between peak pressure and height as well as weight.Conclusions The differences of left and right lower limbs were found in plantar pressure and sEMG values during natural walking.The results showed that 30 min natural walking did not cause significant stress-related fatigue in plantar areas.Therefore,the stability of gait can be maintained for a 30 min natural walking.However,that may lead to fatigue of the femoris rectus in the left limb.

Objective:To study the antihyperglycemic effect of water soluble polysaccharides (MCW) and alkaline soluble polysaccharides (MCB) from Momordica charantia L. on streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. Method:Twelve mice were selected randomly as control, while the other l08 mice were injected with STZ 200 mg/kg?bw to induce diabetes.The diabetic mice were divided into 4 groups,the model, MCW (300 mg/kg bw), MCB (300 mg/kg bw), Gilbenclamide (15 mg/kg bw). The above components were administered intragastrically for 10 d and then blood samples were taken to determine concentrations of serum glucose and insulin. Results: The blood glucose levels could be obviously decreased by MCW and MCB in the diabetic mice. MCB has the best antihyperglycemic effect, in terms of improving the serum insulin level and decreasing the blood glucose level of diabetic mice. Conclusion:The polysaccharides from Momordica charantia can repair the injured pancreatic islet tissues and enhance insulin secretion so as to reduce blood glucose level of the diabetic mice.
