Objective To study the changes of leptin and insulin-like growth factor-Ⅰ (IGF-Ⅰ) in adoles-cents with anorexia nervosa(AN) before and after three months of therapy. Methods The plasma levels of leptin and IGF-Ⅰ were measured in 11 adolescents with AN before and after three months of therapy and 11 normal ado-lescents of the same age,and their height,weight were examined and their body mass index(BMI) was calculated,and the results were compared before and after therapy, and were compared with those from age-matched normal adolescents respectively. Results (1)The plasma levels of leptin and IGF-Ⅰ , as well as the BMI in the AN patients after three months of therapy were significantly higher, than those before the therapy, and both were significantlylower than those in the controls. (2)Significant correlations between the plasma leptin levels and IGF-Ⅰ and BMI were detected in the AN patients both before and after the therapy, as well as in the controls. (3)Significant correla-tions between the plasma leptin levels and IGF-Ⅰ were detected in the AN patients both before and after the thera-py, as well as in the controls. Conclusion The plasma levels of leptin and IGF-Ⅰ resulted in significant changes, and these changes were consistent with body fat content in adolescents with AN.

Objective To investigate the urinary iodine level and the thyroid function of early pregnant women in Qingdao,to explore the relationship between the iodine nutritional status and hypothyroidism.Methods 326 early pregnant women (<12 gestational weeks)were collected.The urinary iodine concentration and serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH),free thyroxine (FT4 ),thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb)were detected. Results The median of urine iodine of pregnant women was 176.57μg/L,and the ratios of iodine deficient,iodine adequate,iodine more than adequate and iodine excessive groups were 3 8.65%,41.10%,15.95% and 4.30%.The total ratio of innormal urine iodine was 58.9%(192 /326).The differences between the ratios of the iodine deficient group,iodine excessive group and iodine adequate group both had statistically significant(χ2 =4.308,P <0.05;χ2 =4.826,P <0.05 ).There was no effect of iodine intake levels on serum thyroid peroxidase antibody.Conclusion There is no iodine deficiency among early pregnant women in Qingdao,but still individuals expose iodine deficiency.Iodine deficiency and iodine excessive are the risk factors of hypothyroidism during early pregnancy women,so we commend to detect the urinary iodine level.

BACKGROUND:Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) plays an important role in cellgrowth, proliferation and differentiation. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3), as the main binding protein of IGF1, is involved in the regulation of IGF1.
OBJECTIVE:To attempt to analyze the relation of IGFBP-3 and various diseases, and to explore the potential values of IGFBP-3 in disease diagnosis and risk assessment.
METHODDatabases of PubMed, Science Direct and Wanfang database were retrieved with key words of“insulin-like growth factors 1;IGFBP-3;cancer;growth hormone deficiency;diabetes;osteoporosis”in English and Chinese, respectively, by screening titles and abstracts to search papers related to IGFBP-3 structure and function as wel as relationship of IGFBP-3 with cancer, growth hormone deficiency, diabetes, osteoporosis. Final y, 43 articles were summarized according to inclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In recent years, the relationship between gene of IGFBP-3 and risk of cancer is becoming a hot research topic. The results show that IGFBP-3 is a protective agent of cancer risk, and it is an important factor in evaluating the risk of cancer, exhibiting a potential application value. IGFBP-3 is also associated with growth hormone deficiency and diabetes. In addition, IGFBP-3 can assist IGF-1 to play the regulatory role in bone growth and differentiation, which is closely linked with osteoporosis. Therefore, IGFBP-3 can be a potential predictor for osteoporosis.

Objective:The paper aims to evaluate the impacts of the urban residents’ basic medical insurance on the medical treatment and preventive care services utilization through quantitative evaluation. Methods:The China Health and Nutrition Surveys ( CHNS) Data collected from 2006 to 2011 were used to compare the difference between medical treatment and preventive care services utilization adopting the difference-in-difference method and the Probit model. The control group urban residents did not participate in the basic medical insurance while their treatment group participated. Results:The medical treatment and preventive care services utilization were more for the treat-ment group than they were for the control one. The age, education level, annual per capita income and hypertension influenced the medical services utilization, and the annual per capita income was a protective factor. The age and ed-ucation level also influenced the preventive care services utilization. Conclusion: The urban resident basic medical insurance plays an important role in the medical treatment and preventive care services utilization. Meanwhile, this factor continuously enhanced the coverage and the per capita income protection for medical services.

The pathogenesis of heart failure is a complex progression and associated with abnormal regulation of many signaling pathways. As a cofactor of hemoglobin, myoglobin, oxidative respiratory chain, DNA synthase and other important proteins, iron plays an indispensable role in myocardial energy metabolism. Recently, a large number of studies have shown that heart failure is related to the disorder of iron metabolism. Both iron deficiency and iron overload can lead to the development of a variety of cardiomyopathy, and even progress to heart failure. Iron metabolism could be a key target for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of heart failure. Here, we review the basic process of iron metabolism and its mechanism in heart failure, expecting to provide new clues and evidence for the treatment of heart failure.

Cell viability of Pichia pastoris was detected by flow cytometry (FCM) with two reagents fluorescein diacetate (FDA) and propidium iodide (PI). Compared with FDA/PI double-stained dot plots and PI single-stained dot plots,the latter could divide dead and living cells into two separate zones,and get the correct proportion. Then PI single-stained method was used to detect the change of cell viability in Pichia patoris fermentation. At glycerol batch and fed-batch phase,little dead cells were detected. At methanol fed-batch phase,cell viability decreased when cell weight increased,and was only 73.8% at 88 h.
