Objective To establish an improved model of exercise-induced glycometabolism in type II diabetic rats,and to provide a theoretical reference for the establishment of exercise prescription for type II diabetes.Methods Forty-five 8-week old SPF male Wistar rats were used in this study.Of which 32 were fed with high-fat diet for 7 weeks,and intraperitoneal injection of 30 mg/kg STZ was given to establish the rat model of type II diabetes.The normal rats and successful model rats were divided into four groups:The normal control group (C group),normal exercise group (CE group),diabetic group (DM group) and diabetic exercise group (DME group).The exercise group was assigned by the Ploug training protocol,6 days/week,60 min/day,for a total of 8 weeks.After the high fat diet fed for 7 weeks,blood sample was taken from the tail vein,FBG and serum insulin were detected after baseline and 8 weeks exercise,and blood sample was collected from the tail vein to determine the FBG.Serum insulin (FINS) was detected by orbital blood sampling at the end of 8 weeks of exercise,and HOMA-IR was calculated.Results 1.After 7 weeks of high fat diet,compared with the groups C and CE,the levels of FBG,FINS and HOMA-IR were significantly higher in the DM and DME groups.2.After 8 weeks of exercise intervention,compared with the groups C and CE,FINS was significantly lower in the groups DM and DME,but the FBG and HOMA-IR were higher.Compared with the DM group,the level of FINS was significantly higher in the DME group,and the levels of FBG and HOMA-IR were significantly lower.The body weights of DM and DME groups were significantly lower than those of the groups Cand CE,the body weight had no significant difference between the DME and DM groups,and similar result was between the groups CE and C.Conclusions 1.The rat model of type II diabetes is successfully established with high fat diet for 7 weeks plus STZ injection(30 mg/mL).2.Aerobic exercise 60 min/day for a total of 8 weeks can improve the glycometabolism in type 2 diabetic rats,to be an ideal animal model for study of the mechanism of prevention and amelioration of type II diabetes.

AIM:To explore the influence of long-term swimming on peripheral neuropathy in type 2 diabetic rats.METHODS:Male Wistar rats were fed with a high-fat and high-fructose diet, and injected with streptozocin to estab-lish a model of type 2 diabetes mellitus.The rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:blank control group (C group), ex-ercise control group ( CE group ) , diabetes mellitus group ( DM group ) and diabetes mellitus +exercise group ( DME group).The rats in CE group and DME group received 8-week swimming training (6 d/week).The training time was 20, 30 and 45 min in the first 3 d,respectively, and then it increased to 60 min a day.Eight weeks later, the motor nerve conduc-tion velocity ( MNCV ) and the levels of tumor necrosis factor α( TNF-α) , interleukin 6 ( IL-6 ) and C-reactive protein ( CRP) in sciatic nerve tissues of the rats were measured .The morphological changes of the sciatic nerve were also observed under light microscope .RESULTS:Compared with DM group , 8-week swimming obviously accelerated the MNCV ( P<0.05), decreased the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and CRP in DME group (but no significant difference, P>0.05).The obvi-ous nerve injury in DM group was observed .However , the pathological change of the sciatic nerve in DME group was re-lieved.CONCLUSION:Eight-week swimming training significantly accelerates the MNCV , attenuates the nerve injury in diabetic rats and has protective effect on peripheral nerve , which may be correlated with relieving the inflammatory reaction .

Facial rhytidectomy is the main surgical treatment for facial rejuvenation. With the increase of People’s understanding of the facial aging mechanism and structural changes, the surgical methods are also changing. This article summarized the development of the rhytidoplasty by combining the origin, development steps and the anatomical levels involved in different surgical methods. It detailed both advantages and disadvantages of various surgery methods related to the skin and subcutaneous, superficial musculoa-poneurotis system, and subperiosteal plane, as well as the optimization plans proposed during the development process to comply with the trend of minimally invasive surgery and less postoperative complications. Improved surgical methods were proposed for specific common facial aging problems such as nasolabial folds, perioral mounds and double chins.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics of mpox epidemic in Guangzhou and provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of the disease.Methods:Based on the mpox surveillance system in Guangzhou, suspected mpox cases with fever and rash were reported by local hospitals at all levels to centers for disease control and prevention in Guangzhou for sampling, investigation and diagnosis. Descriptive epidemiological analysis was conducted on the clinical characteristics and treatment of the mpox cases and positive detection rate reported in Guangzhou as of 24:00 on June 23. Whole genome sequencing of the virus isolates was performed using Illumina Miniseq high-throughput sequencing platform.Results:The first mpox case in Guangzhou was reported on June 10 in 2023. As of 24:00 on June 23, a total of 25 confirmed mpox cases were reported. All the mpox cases were men with a M( Q1, Q3) of 32 (26, 36) years, the majority of the cases were MSM (96.0%). The main clinical features were rash (100.0%, 25/25), lymphadenectasis (100.0%, 25/25) and fever (52.0%, 13/25). Rash usually occurred near the genitals (88.0%, 22/25). The close contacts, mainly family members (40.4%, 23/57), showed no similar symptoms, such as fever or rash. The positive rate of mpox virus in household environment samples was 30.5%. The analyses on 3 complete gene sequences of mpox virus indicated that the strains belonged to West African type Ⅱb clade, B.1.3 lineage. Conclusions:Hidden transmission of mpox virus had occurred in MSM in Guangzhou. However, the size of affected population is relatively limited, and the possibility of wide spread of the virus is low.

Objective:To investigate the clinical experience of using orbital fat pedicle to correct eyebags with the tear trough and palpebromalar groove deformity.Methods:From February 2020 to May 2021, 35 patients with lower blepharoplasty combined with orbital fat-release were treated in the Facial and Neck Plastic Surgery Center of the Plastic Surgery Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, including 4 males and 31 females. Their age ranged from 35 to 63 years, with an average age of 47.5 years. Different degrees of lower eyelid skin laxity, orbital fat herniation, moderate and severe tear trough, palpebromalar groove deformity were observed in all patients. Preoperative examination showed no symptoms such as lower eyelid ectropion and lower eyelid retreat ment. All 35 patients were treated with transcutaneous incision blepharoplasty, in which the orbital septal fat was released, pulled downward and internally fixed to the appropriate position to fill the tear trough and palpebromalar groove.Results:All patients obtained primary healing, no complications such as hematoma, and infection occured. Postoperative follow-up lasted from 3 to 18 months, with an average of 8.6 months. 35 patients′ eye bags with tear trough and palpebromalar groove deformity were obviously alleviated. Unilateral mild eye bag remained in 2 patients in postoperative 1 month, and 2 cases appeared mild lower eyelid ectropion postoperatively, none of these patients received special treatment and recovered after 3 months.Conclusions:Lower blepharoplasty combined with orbital fat release can effectively repair eye bags and correct tear trough and palpebromalar groove deformity.
