Objective Serum glycated albumin (GA) is associated with the levels of blood glucose and short term glycemic fluctuation. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between GA and arterial stiffness in a health screening population. Method A total of 11 014 participants (men, 56.2%;mean age, 46.8±7.8 years) who attended physical examination were invited and had completed standardized questionnaires. Serum GA and homocysteine (HCY), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), and central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) were measured. A series of single and multiple factor analyses and stratified analysis were performed. Result The mean level of serum GA was lower in men (13.69 ± 2.69) than in women (13.82 ± 1.92) (t=2.78, P=0.005). The values of baPWV (men: F=53.9, P for trend<0.001;women:F=37.7, P for trend<0.001) and cSBP (men:F=10.3, P for trend<0.001;women:F=13.5, P for trend<0.001) increased with quartiles of GA levels in both men and women. After adjustment for age, history of hypertension, diabetes, family history of diabetes, smoking status, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood lipids, kidney function, fasting glucose, postprandial glucose, and hemoglobin A1c, GA was positively associated with baPWV (βestimate, 0.019;95%CI:0.002-0.036;P=0.032) and cSBP (βestimate, 0.251; 95% CI: 0.107-0.394; P=0.001) in men. Stratified analysis also showed that the positive associations of GA with baPWV and cSBP remained significant in men both with and without diabetes or hypertension (P<0.05). However, the association between GA and HCY was not significant in multifactor analysis and stratified analysis. The above results were similar in women. Conclusion Serum GA levels were positively associated with baPWV and cSBP not only in patients with diabetes or hypertension but also in participants without diabetes or hypertension after adjusting for conventional factors and glucose markers. The findings suggest that GA may help detect the development of arterial stiffness in the health screening population.

Glutathione S-transferases(GSTs) are a family of soluble detoxification enzymes which use reduced glutathione(GSH) in conjugation and reduction reactions.Toxic electrophiles,including a variety of carcinogens,are substrates for the GSTs and are more easily excreted into bile or urine after conjugation or reduction .The three-dimensional structures of GSTs from several species,including humans,have been determined.GST activity has been found to present in all human tissues,and expression of the various GST isoenzymes differs in degree in the various tissues. Glutathione S-transferases may play a role in the protection of cells against toxic electrophiles and in the resistance to cancer chemotherapeutic agants.The polymorphisms of GSTs genes are one of the important factors that exercise influence on individual susceptibility to cancer.

AIM: To investigate the mutagenicity of cadmium and zinc and the effect of zinc on the mutagenicity of cadmium. METHODS: The frequency of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) induced by cadmium, zinc and the combination of cadmium and zinc were observed in cultured human lymphocytes. RESULTS: Cadmium induced the increase in frequency of SCE in human lymphocytes from the concentration 1?10~(-8) mol/L to 1?10~(-6) mol/L, but zinc had a negative result. Zinc reduced the frequency of SCE induced by cadmium at the concentration from 1?10~(-6) mol/L to 1?10~(-4) mol/L and a relationship between dose and effect was also observed. CONCLUSION: Zinc inhibits the mutagenicity of cadmium in cultured human lymphocytes.

Objective To study risk factors associated with predisposition to Lm -ABM in adult patients and to evaluate the clinical features,management and out in this cohort of patients because Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is the third most common cause of acute community acquired bacterial meningitis (Ac-ABM),after Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitides aetiologies.Methods A descriptive,prospective study carried out in a tertiary grade medical center emergency department in Beijing over a 10 -year period.During the study period,15 patients of Lm- ABM were included.Comparison of episodes of Lm - ABM versus other aetiologies was made.Results Fifteen episodes of Lm - ABM were identified in327 adult Ac - ABM patients.Three cohorts of individuals were vulnerable to Lm - ABM:the elderly ( RR=3.14; 95% CI 1.84-5.35),the immunocompromised (RR =3.34; 95% CI2.08-5.38),and pregnant women ( RR 12.48 ; 95% CI 3.29 ~ 47.39 ).The classic triad of fever,neck stiffness,and altered mental status was present in 40% (6 of 15) Lm - ABM patients.Similarly,40% patients had at least one of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples with features met the criteria of typical bacterial meningitis.The coverage of empirical antimicrobial therapy was microbiologically inadequate for 13 ( 86.7% ) patients.The mortality rate was 33.3% (5 of 15),and 7 (46.7% ) of 15 patients led to an unfavorable outcome ( GOS < 4),both of which were significantly higher than those in other aetiologies of Ac - ABM ( P =0.015P =0.009 respectively). Conclusions Our study showed the elderly,the immunocompromised patients,and pregnant women predisposed to Ac - ABM most likely to be Listeria monocytogenes aetiology.In contrast with similar previous reports, the current study showed that patients with meningitis due to Listeria monocytogenes did not present with atypical clinical features.A high proportion of patients received empirical antimicrobial therapy that did not cover Listeria monocytogenes.Lm - ABM is still a serious disease that leads to high morbidity and mortality rates.With these important caveats in mind,our findings have implications for clinical practice and food safety policy makers.

Objective To analyze the direct and indirect effects of influencing factors on suicide ideation among college students based on the structural equation model. Methods 1505 college students were investigated with ASLEC, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, SSRS, QSA and BDI. Results Incidence rate of college students' suicidal ideations during the past year was 6.67%. The goodness of fit for the structural equation model was satisfactory and 3 major indices( x2/df = 2.23, GFI = 0. 982, RMSEA = 0. 029 ) had met corresponding requirements. The depression was directly influencing factor on suicide ideation, while four factors including passive coping style, social support, positive coping style and suicide attitude, had indirect impacts. Negative life event not only directly affected suicide ideation, but also had indirect effects. According to the percentages of their contribution, the risk factors were ranked as follows:depression (41.08%), negativity life event (35.35%) and passive coping style (6.05%). Similarly, the top protective factor was: social support ( 11.94% ), followed by positive coping style (4.94%) and suicide attitude (0.63%). Conclusion Depression is an important risk factor of suicide,and has a direct impact. So, not only strengthen the mental health of college students, but also train students to face up the difficulties with a positive style, and make the college students get social supports sufficiently.
