Eating disorders is a weight and eating related syndrome with cognitive,emotional and behavioral barriers.Prevention of eating disorders is significant.There are three theoretical models on the prevention of eating disorders:non-specific vulnerability-stressor model,social cognitive model,and critical social perspectives model.It's necessary to combine these three models together for effective prevention.

The plasma levels of inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) and anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the patients with unstable angina or stable angina were determined and compared. In 30 patients with unstable angina and 22 patients with stable angina, plasma levels of IL-10 and IL-6 were detected by ELISA and plasma lipid parameters by lipid research clinical methods respectively. The results showed plasma levels of IL-10 were significantly lower in unstable angina group than in stable angina group (P = 0.005), while those of IL-6 were significantly increased in unstable angina group as compared with those in stable angina group (P = 0.039). There was a significantly negative correlation between IL-10 and IL-6 in patients with unstable angina (r = -0.41, P = 0.003). In the unstable angina group, IL-6 levels were obviously positively correlated with TC (r = 0.314, P = 0.023), but not with TG and HDL. There were no significant correlations between IL-10 and plasma lipid parameters. It was suggested that the decreased IL-10 and increased IL-6 might be associated with the atheromatous plaque stability and progression of coronary heart diseases. IL-10 may play an important role in preventing coronary vascular lesions.

BACKGROUND: The elevation of plasma fibrinogen(Fbg) is a key risk factor of cerebrovascular diseases. The evaluation of the monomer polymerization function of fibrin has even more important clinical merit than the detection of Fbg level.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical significance of the monomer polymerization function of fibrin in patients with isehemie cerebrovascular diseases and its impacts on rehabilitative intervention.DESIGN: A case control study employing patients and healthy individual as subjects.SETTING: An Institute of Hematology and Department of Neurology of one university.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 110 patients with different ischemic cerebrovascular disease selected from the Department of Neurology, Union Hospital of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong Science and Technology University from September 2001 to March 2002, and 50 healthy individuals were included in the study.METHODS: Rehabilitative intervention was performed in 31 randomly selected cerebral infarct patients, and the parameters indicating the monomer polymerization functions of fibrin in the plasma were detected by the measurement system for the monomer polymerization function of fibrin.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Abnormal condition of monomer polymerization function of fibrin in each parameter.RESULTS: Each parameter indicating the monomer polymerization functions of fibrin in plasma was significantly increased in ischemic cerebrovascular diseases patients than healthy individuals( P ＜ 0.01 ) . The abnormal rate of Fbg leveland fibrin monomer polymerization velocity (FMPV) was significantly elevated in ischemic cerebrovascular disease patients than healthy individuals ( P ＜ 0. 01 ) . The relative risk(RR) of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases in patients with abnormal FMP functions was 4 to 31 times more than healthy control group. In cerebral infarct group, FMPV of anterior circulation infarct subgroup was significantly elevated than that of posterior circulation infarct and lacunar cerebral infarct subgroups( P ＜ 0.05). The FMP function of anterior cerebral infarct patients was significantly higher than that of healthy group before rehabilitative intervention. Although each FMP parameter reduced after rehabilitative intervention, the difference between was not significant compared with that of before therapy.CONCLUSION: FMP function analysis can completely and objectively reflect the coagulation status of the patients with ischemic cerebrovascular diseases, and it can also reflect the range and severity of infarct to some extent. Although common rehabilitative intervention cannot effectively improve the high-coagulation of the blood, the impacts of specific rehabilitative intervention on the coagulation mechanism deserve further investigation.

AIM: To explore the relationship between dynamic changes of population spike (PS) and morphologic alterations in hippocampal CA1 region and morphology after transient ischemia/reperfusion and the improving effects of Chinese herbs 9602. METHODS: Changes of evoking population spike ware investigated by electrical stimulating Schaffer collateral in CA1 region of hippocampal slice after ischemia/reperfusion in vivo . Apoptosis and morphologic alterations at different time points after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion were detected by using TUNEL and Nissl staining. RESULTS: The threshold voltage of CA1 region in evoking population spike increased markedly as compared with sham control. The enhancement of wave amplitude was reduced significantly after tetanic stimulation. The duration of enhancement in amplitude decreased with the passage of reperfusion. Above all were observed from 8 h after ischemia/reperfusion. They became remarkable and got to its top at 7 day after ischemia/reperfusion treatment. TUNEL positive cells were observed in hippocampal CA1 region at 8 h, got to the top at 24 h and then gradually reduced after ischemia/reperfusion. A lot of abnormal cells in CA1 region was found, and the number of pyramidal cell reduced progressively by Nissl staining after ischemia/reperfusion. Chinese herbs 9602 reduced the threshold voltage of CA1 region in evoking population spike remarkably, enhanced the wave amplitude and prolonged the duration of PS enhancement; decreased the number of TUNEL positive cell, prevented the reduction of pyramidal cell in CA1 region. CONCLUSIONS: The excitability and reactivity were decreased and there was a gradual functional disturbance of synaptic transmission in CA1 pyramidal cell and most notable changes happened at 7 d ischemia/reperfusion, suggesting that was partly due to delayed neuronal death induced by ischemia/reperfusion. Apoptosis plays an important role in the functional deficiency of CA1 region of hippocampus induced by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. The effects of 9602 on ameliorating the excitability and reactivity of CA1 pyramidal cells relate to inhibiting apoptosis, attanuating delayed neuron death induced by ischemia/reperfusion.
