Warming yang, which is one of the treatment principles of traditional Chinese Medicine, is very important in treating chronic heart failure, especially late-stage heart failure. It has been proved in many experiments and clinical trials that warming yang can improve the hemodynamic parameters. The treatment strategy for heart failure has changed from short-term correction of hemodynamic parameters to long-term rehabilitation approaches. We discussed the possible negative-effects of warming yang on neuroendocrine responses and myocardial remodeling. The potential beneficial effects of treatment for nourishing yin or nourishing yin combined with warming yang on heart failure were also explored.

This article elucidates the relationship between the human susceptibility to obesity and gene polymorphisms such as peroxisome proliferators-activated receptors(PPARs)and PPAR?coactivator-1,along with milestones in the formation and development of capacity for fat deposition during evolutionary history of human.An biological evolutionary analysis,identifying factors favoring the energy stores,may be helpful to the development of preventive public health strategies.

Objective To investigate the changes in gastric intramucosal pH(pHi) and the effect of hyperoxic liquid on intramucosal pH(pHi) after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rabbits.Methods Twenty healthy male adult rabbits,weighing 2.3-3.0 kg,were randomly divided into two groups: control group(n=10) and hyperoxic liquid group(n=10).Hyperoxic liquid group received the routine infusion of hyperoxic liquidle of 10 mL/kg for seven days,while control group received the routine treatment infusion of saline instead of hyperoxic liquid of 10 mL/kg.Seven days later,the myocardial ischemic reperfusion model(I/R) was established,and ECG and homodynamic indexes were monitored simultaneously.Hemodynamic indexes and pHi were measured before myocardial ischemia,30 min after myocardial ischemia as well as 1 h and 2 h after reperfusion.Results Hyperoxic liquid could lower ST segment and improve hemodynamic indexes.pHi decreased significantly after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in both groups.Compared with that in control group,pHi was significantly higher at 1 h and 2 h after reperfusion in hyperoxic liquid group(P

Objective To study the protective effect of hyperoxic liquid preconditioning in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods Thirty rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: group A undergoing all procedures except ischemia-reperfusion, group C receiving the routine infusion of hyperoxic liquid 15mL/kg for seven days, and group B receiving the routine treatment infusion of saline instead of hyperoxic liquid 15mL/kg. Seven days later, the myocardial ischemic reperfusion model (I/R) was fabricated, ECG and homodynamic index were monitored simultaneously. Plasma MDA and SOD level was assayed before ligation, 30min after ligation and 1, 2, 3h after reperfusion. Results Hyperoxic liquid preconditioning can lower ST segment and improve index of hemodynamics and significantly reduce myocardial infarction size in group C compared with group B((P

Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) causes hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) and various neurological complications, including aseptic meningitis and neurogenic pulmonary edema in young children. HFMD caused by EV-A71 have broken out several times in the Asia-Pacific region since 2007. And it has been a serious threat to public health. There is no effective vaccine or antiviral drug. The pathogenesis of EV-A71 infection is unknown, and EV-A71 3C protein plays an irreplaceable role in replication and anti - innate immunity. Further research on EV-A71 3C protein is conducive to understand the pathogenesis of EV-A71 infection and antiviral drug.

The present paper reports a systematic research of the antifatigue effect of Flammulina velutipes. The antifatigue effect was judged by the examination of serum lactate dchydrogenase activity, level of blood lactic acid, serum urea nitrogen, muscle and liver glycogen,The experiments indicated that feeding Flammulina velutipes to mice for several days the lactate dehydrogenase activity, muscle and liver glycogeu levels were significantly higher than that of the control. After exercise, the levels of blood lactate and serum urea nitrogen were significantly lower than those of control. After exercise, the recovery rate of lactic acid was much faster than that of control.From the above results, we concluded the Flammulina velutipes may have significant effect on the capability of adaptation to heavy exercise and prevention or elimination of fatigue after exercise.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of hyperuricemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM ) with vascular com‐plication .Methods 97 individuals undergoing the physical examination were included into the control group ,103 patients with pure T2DM and 78 patients with T2DM complicating hyperuricemia were selected .The fasting plasma glucose(FPG) ,glycosylated he‐moglobin(HbA1c) ,total cholesterol(TC) ,triglycerides(TG) ,high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) ,low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) ,apolipoprotein A1(ApoA1) ,apolipoprotein B (ApoB) ,serum creatinine (Cr) and uric acid (UA ) were com‐pared among 3 groups ,meanwhile the first morning urine was collected for detecting urine microalbumin (UMA) ,and the body mass index(BMI) was detected .Then the correlation between hyperuricemia with the diabetes related complications was investigated .Re‐sults The levels of FPG ,TG ,Cr ,UMA and HbA1c in the pure T2DM group were higher than those in the control group(P < 0 . 05) ;BMI ,FPG ,TG ,TC ,LDL‐L ,UMA ,Cr and HbA1c in the T2DM complicating hyperuricemia group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0 .05) ;BMI ,TG ,Cr ,UMA and HbA1c in the T2DM complicating hyperuricemia group were higher than those in the pure T2DM group(P < 0 .05) .The incidence rates of diabetic nephropathy (DN ) ,limb arterial plaques in the T2DM complicating hyperuricemia group were significantly higher than those in the T 2DM group ,the differences were statistically signifi‐cant (P< 0 .05) .Conclusion The patients with T2DM complicating hyperuricemia are easier to develop dyslipidemia ,and their inci‐dence rates of DN and lower limb arterial plaque are also significantly higher than those in patients with pure T 2DM .

Objective To investigate the effect of early warning face pattern of weight combined with health education in weight management of maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods Toally 223 maintenance hemodialysis patients hospitalized in the hospital from July to December 2014 (17,617 cases of hemodialysis) were set as the control group and 223 maintenance hemodialysis patients from January to June 2015 (17,281 cases of hemodialysis) were set as the experiment group.The control group was given routine health education and the experiment group was given health education and early warning face pattern of weight.The two groups were compared in terms of the ratio between interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) and interdialytic dry weight ratio (IWGR) as well as the hemodialysis-related complications.Results The IDWG/IWGR ratio in the experiment group was significantly better than that of the control group (P＜0.05).The incidence of hemodialysis-related complications were significantly lower than that of control group.Conclusion Early warning face pattern of weight used in health education can effectively control the patient's interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) and reduce the hemodialysis-related complications.
