Objective:To investigate the effect of high-intensity interval exercise(HIIT)on necroptosis and neuroinflam-mation in hippocampus of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)mice. Method:Male C57BL/6 mice fed with high-fat for ten weeks and then injected with streptozotocin(STZ)to establish the model of T2DM mice.Mice were divided into normal control group(CON,n=10),T2DM mod-el group(T2DM,n=10),and T2DM exercise group(HIIT,n=10).Mice in HIIT group received treadmill training for 7 weeks.At the end of the experiment,the necroptosis of hippocampal neurons was determined by lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)content and propidium iodide(PI)staining.The NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)level was examined by immunofluorescence staining.The mRNA expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-1β(IL-1β)in hippocampus were evaluate by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).The level of necroptosis and inflammatory cytokines related proteins in hippocam-pus were measured by the Western Blot. Result:Compared with the CON group,the LDH release level was significantly increased(P<0.0001),the number of PI-stained positive cells and the expression level of necroptosis related proteins were increased in T2DM group.The fluorescence intensity of NLRP3,the expression of NLRP3,caspase-1,cleaved caspase-1 protein and inflammatory cytokines iNOS,IL-6,TNF-α and IL-1β were significantly increased(P<0.05)in T2DM group.After 7 weeks of the HIIT intervention,the hippocampal LDH release level of HIIT group was significantly lower than T2DM group(P<0.0001),the number of PI-stained positive cells and the expressions level of necroptosis related proteins was also decreased.The fluorescence intensity of NLRP3 and the expres-sion of NLRP3,caspase-1,Cleaved caspase-1 protein and the expression levels of proinflammatory factor were all decreased in HIIT group compared to the T2DM group(P<0.05). Conclusion:Necroptosis was found in the hippocampal tissue of T2DM mice.HIIT can inhibit the necroptosis and eventually reduce the inflammatory response in the hippocampal tissue of T2DM mice.

Objective To explore the characteristics of blood uric acid levels and its correlation with calcium and phosphorus levels, and glucose and lipid metabolism in obese adolescents in weight-loss training camps. Methods In this study, 357 obese adolescents aged 12-18 were selected as the research subjects, and 135 normal-weight adolescents were selected as the controls. The body shape and blood uric acid characteristics of the subjects were measured and analyzed. Further, 59 subjects were selected from the obese adolescents for blood calcium, blood phosphorus and glucose and lipid metabolism index tests to analyze the correlation between blood uric acid level and calcium, phosphorus, and glucose and lipid metabolism indicators. Results The average blood uric acid level of obese adolescents was (527.12±122.94)μmol/L, (566.58±122.51)μmol/L for boys, and (468.35±97.79)μmol/L for girls. The blood uric acid level of the obesity group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.001 for boys, P<0.05 for girls), and it was higher in boys than in girls (P<0.01). Obese adolescents with high uric acid accounted for 73.39%. The HOMA-IR of obese adolescents was 5.79±3.04. The blood uric acid level was significantly correlated with blood calcium, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P<0.05). Gender and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were the main influencing factors of blood uric acid (P<0.05). Conclusion Obese adolescents have high blood uric acid levels, low calcium and high phosphorus in the body, and a higher incidence of insulin resistance. There exists a positive correlation between the blood uric acid level and the body's calcium and phosphorus metabolism and glucose and lipid metabolism in obese adolescents. Clinical monitoring of lipid metabolism indicators such as low-density lipoprotein has certain reference value for the prevention and treatment of hyperuricemia.
