Objective:To investigate the effects of aerobic exercise on blood glucose and insulin levels in chronic intermittent hypoxic(CIH)rats and the underlying mechanisms, and to provide new insights for the prevention and treatment of diabetes caused by CIH.Methods:SD rats were randomly divided into the blank control group, CIH control group and CIH exercise group.After adaptive feeding, a rat model of CIH was established.The CIH exercise group received non-weight bearing exercise training through swimming.After 4 weeks, all rats were sacrificed and levels of total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC), reactive oxygen species(ROS), malondialdehyde(MDA), fasting blood glucose(FPG)and fasting insulin(FINS)were measured.Results:Compared with the blank control group and CIH control group, levels of ROS, MDA, FPG, T-AOC, FINS and FPG were significantly different in the CIH exercise group( F=4.60, 5.03, 4.87, 4.52 and 6.42, P=0.021, 0.015, 0.017, 0.022 and 0.006). Compared with the blank control group, levels of ROS, MDA, FPG and FINS increased and levels of T-AOC declined in the CIH control and exercise groups(all P<0.05). Compared with the CIH control group, levels of ROS, MDA, FPG and FINS decreased and T-AOC levels increased in the CIH exercise group(all P<0.05). Conclusions:CIH increases blood glucose and insulin levels by activating the oxidative stress response.Aerobic exercise can reduce the impact of oxidative stress on blood glucose and insulin levels.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the situation and problems of clinical microecological preparations in pediatrics department of China, and to provide reference for rational application of microecological preparations in children. METHODS: Outpatient/emergency prescriptions of microecological preparations during Jan.-Mar. 2019 were retrieved from information system of 5 “Third Grade Class A” children hospitals, and were investigated and analyzed in respects of the type of microecological agents, age distribution, clinical diagnosis, drug combination, off-label medication, etc. RESULTS: A total of 74 210 outpatient/emergency prescriptions were collected, involving 18 kinds of microecological preparations. Among them, Clostridium butyricum combined viable powder ranked first (31 146, accounting for 41.97%), followed by Brucella yeast powder (14 289, accounting for 19.25%) and Compound Lactobacillus acidophilus tablets (10 281, 13.85%). The age of children was less than 18 years old, and the proportion of children aged 1-<3 years old was the highest (33 753, 45.48%). The most common clinical diagnosis was digestive tract diseases (54 009, 72.78%), followed by respiratory infectious diseases (11 744, 15.83%). In combination with microecological agents, there were Chinese patent medicine for invigorating the spleen and stomach (18 546, 24.99%), antibacterial medicine (10 595, 14.28%) and oral rehydration salt Ⅲ (8 238, 11.10%). Off-label drug use was found in 19 532 prescriptions (26.32%), mainly manifesting as super-indications (15 590, 21.01%), super-usage and dosage (8 098, 14.52%), super crowd medication (48, 3.91%) was found in a few prescriptions. CONCLUSIONS: There is a high incidence of off-label use of microecological agents in children. Medical staff should standardize prescription behavior and promote rational use of drugs. At the same time, the improvement of the information of children’s medication in drug instructions to ensure the safety and effectiveness of children’s medication should be encouraged.
