BACKGROUND:Acute exercise is believed to regulate appetite and influence feeding behaviors by controling the synthesis and secretion of gastrointestinal peptide hormones to regulate appetite and feeding behavior influence, but the smal sample size leads to widely different results.
OBJECTIVE:To clarify the effect of acute exercise on peptide YY levels in adults using Meta-analysis method. METHODS:A computer-based search of PubMed, Google Scholar, Sport Discus, Web of Knowledge and CNKI was performed for relevant articles published before January 2014. The literatures eligible were studied by evaluating the publication bias, checking the heterogeneity and analyzing the sensitivity by software of RevMan5.1.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) There were a total of 188 participants in the 18 trials reported in 11 articles. The Meta-analysis results revealed a mean effect for acute exercise to increase peptide YY values (standardized mean difference=0.25, 95% confidence interval =0.05-0.46,P=0.01), and therefore, there was a significantly statistical difference in the peptide YY levels between the acute exercise group and control group (P< 0.05). Moreover, results from the sensitivity analysis showed no influences on the findings of Meta-analysis. (2) Five randomized controled trails in the three included articles were related to peptide YY (3-36). There was a maximal heterogeneity among these studies; therefore, a random-effect model was utilized. The result revealed a mean effect for acute exercise to increase peptide YY (3-36) values (standardized mean difference =1.80, 95% confidence interval =0.27-3.32,P=0.02). The findings from this meta-analysis show that acute exercise may influence appetite by increasing levels of peptide YY in adults.

Objective To characterize the function of human anti-BP180 single-chain Fv antibody (scFv) in vitro. Methods The IgG autoantibodies against BP180 were purified by affinity chromatography from the sera of patients with BP. The inhibitive effect of previously constructed anti-BP180 scFv on the binding of anti-BP180 IgG autoantibodies to the recombinant NC16A domain of human BP180 antigen was observed by competitive ELISA, competitive immunofluorescence assay and competitive inhibition test for complement activation. Results As ELISA revealed, the scFv significantly inhibited the binding of anti-BP180 IgG autoantibodies to the corresponding antigen (P < 0.01 ), and the inhibitive effect was dose-dependent within the concentration range from 0 to 60 μg/ml. The inhibitive rate peaked at 69.50%. The deposition of anti-BP180-IgG autoantibodies in basement membrane zone and the IgG autoantibody-mediated complement C3 activation were both suppressed by the scFv of 40 μg/ml. Conclusion The genetically engineered anti-BP180 scFv has a certain inhibitive effect on the binding of BP-IgG autoantibodies to BP180 antigen and on the subsequent complement activation in vitro.

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanisms of synergistic effects of BFA and CDDP on human lung cancer GLC-82 cells, and to test the levels of PERK-ATF4 pathway. Methods GLC-82 cells were incubated with 50 ng/mL of BFA or/and 2 μg/mL of CDDP for 24 or 48 hours. The levels of PERK, p-PERK and ATF4 in GLC-82 were analyzed by real-time PCRand/or Western Blot. Results The levels of PERK were lowest in CDDP group, but higher in BFA group (P < 0.05), the highest in group of BFA+CDDP (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). The p-PERK level decreased in group of BFA+CDDP (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). There was no significant change of ATF4 expression in CDDP group, but ATF4 expression increased slightly in BFA group, and increased further in group of BFA+CDDP (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01)which was also higher than that in BFA group or CDDP group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Conclusions The upregulated levels of PERK and ATF4 by the combination of BFA and CDDP may be one of the mechanisms of synergistic anti-cancer effect of BFA and CDDP on GLC-82 cells.

BACKGROUND: Cerebrovascular disease often causes dysfunction of the brain nerve, and nerve cel apoptosis is the important factor of cerebral nerve dysfunction. The excessive expression of c-fos can block the transduction of intracelular signal so that producing some apoptosis-promoting factors, which involve in nerve cel apoptosis process after ischemia injury of brain. Bcl-2 is an inhibited factor. It might to be the key to treat ischemic cerebrovascular disease by inhibiting or reducing the apoptosis of nerve cels after ischemia injury. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of the Total Flavone of Hawthorn Leaf on chronic cerebral ischemia rats. METHODS: A total of 72 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham surgery group, model group, Total Flavone of Hawthorn Leaf group and ginkgo leaf group. Permanent bilateral carotid artery ligation was used to prepare chronic cerebral ischemia model in the model group, Total Flavone of Hawthorn Leaf group and ginkgo leaf group. Total Flavone of Hawthorn Leaf group and ginkgo leaf group respectively received 140 mg/kg Total Flavone of Hawthorn Leaf and 12.3 mg/kg ginkgo leaf intragastricaly for 36 days from 36 days after model induction. Model group and sham surgery group received 3.5 mL/kg physiological saline intragastricaly. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the model group, the expression of c-fos protein significantly deceased in the Total Flavone of Hawthorn Leaf group (P < 0.01), Bcl-2 expression levels significantly increased (P < 0.01), and Ca2+ content decreased (P < 0.05). Moreover, no significant difference in above indexes was detected between Total Flavone of Hawthorn Leaf group and ginkgo leaf group (P> 0.05). These data indicated that the protective effect of Total Flavone of Hawthorn Leaf on chronic cerebral ischemia was associated with its inhibition of neuronal apoptosis. Its mechanism of anti-apoptosis might be associated with up-regulating expression of Bcl-2, down-regulating expression of c-fos and decreasing Ca2+ content in brain.

Objective: To examine the influencing factors of the efficiency of county-level centers for disease control and prevention ( CDCs) in China. Methods:458 county-level CDCs were selected based on a systematic sam-pling method. Multilevel modeling was used to analyze the region-level and institution-level influencing factors affect-ing the efficiency of CDCs. Results: It was found that the region ( province) is associated with the efficiency of a CDC. The region-level factor of population density exhibited a significant influence, while the institution-level factors such as the proportion of health technicians, service income and CDC laboratories per capita also had an influence on overall efficiency. Conclusions: Both the region-level and institution-level determinants influence efficiency. Multi-level modeling can help researchers gain a comprehensive understanding of the influencing factors that affect the CDC efficiency.
