Objective To explore the changes of appendicular skeletal muscle (ASM) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, and to analyze the relationship between ASM changes and dietary intake.Methods One hundred and fourteen PD patients were enrolled in Department of Nephrology, Peking University Third Hospital using convenience sampling.At baseline, and 6 and 12 months after PD, bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to assess the body weight, total muscle mass, and ASM of these patients, and three-day food record was used to assess the dietary intake.Demographics and clinical data were also collected at baseline.Results Compared with baseline, the patients' ASM at 12 months after PD decreased significantly [(19.27 ± 5.59) kg vs.(25.65 ±6.09) kg, P =0.000], the dietary protein intake and energy intake decreased significantly [(0.85 ± 0.21) g/(kg · d) vs.(0.90 ± 0.27) g/(kg · d), P =0.038;(128.37 ± 26.67) kJ/(kg· d)vs.(137.27 ±29.23) kJ/(kg· d), P=0.001].The patients were divided into three groups based on ASM loss, the mean dietary protein intake of the top-loss 1/3 group was statistically lower than that of the bottom-loss 1/3 group [(0.82 ± 0.18) g/(kg · d) vs.(0.91 ± 0.20) g/(kg · d), P =0.021].Conclusions With the continuation of PD, ASM of patients may decrease, which is likely to be mainly related to deficiency in protein and energy intakes.Dietary management should be strengthened in PD patients to alleviate the loss of ASM.

Objective To observe the effects of White Mange Mixture on the content of VEGF and the genetic and protein expressions of VEGFR-2 of HaCaT cells;To explore its mechanism. Methods HaCaT cells were cultured in vitro to establish psoriasis experimental model. SD rats were randomly divided into the blank serum group, white mange mixture of low-, medium- and high- dose groups and acitretin group, meanwhile to set up blank control group. Cultured HaCaT cells model were intervened with different medicine serum. ELISA was applied to detect the content of VEGF. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the genetic and protein expressions of VEGFR-2.Results Compared with the blank control group, White Mange Mixture of low-, medium- and high-dose groups interventing HaCaT cells could obviously inhibit the secretion of VEGF and decrease the genetic and protein expression of VEGFR-2 in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion White Mange Mixture plays a role in the treatment of psoriasis possibly through inhibiting the content of VEGF and decreasing the genetic and protein expressions of VEGFR-2.

Objective To investigate the energy intakes and energy consumption in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients,and to identify the possible influence factors for overweight and obesity of CAPD patients.Methods A total of 115 CAPD patients were enrolled from May to December 2011 in Peking University Third Hospital.Based on body mass index (BMI),they were divided into normal group (18.5 kg/m2 ≤ BMI < 24 kg/m2,n =61) and obese group (BMI ≥ 24 kg/m2,n =54).Three-day dietary intakes including dietary energy,protein,fat,and carbohydrates intakes were collected.Glucose absorption from dialysate was measured.Three-day activities were recorded for the calculation of resting energy expenditure (REE) and total energy expenditure (TEE).Body composition of the patients was analyzed.Results There were no significant differences in age,height,dietary energy intake,protein intake,carbohydrate intakes,lean tissue mass,and hydration status between the two groups.Glucose absorption from dialysate and dietary fat intake were significantly higher in the obese group than in the normal group [(1 920.5 ± 506.3) kJ/d vs.(1 673.6 ±535.6) kJ/d,x2 =2.536,P=0.013; (62.5 ±19.8) g/dvs.(53.1 ±18.7) g/d,x2=2.575,P =0.011].Although REE was higher in the obese group as compared with the normal group [(5 066.8 ±1 029.3) kJ/d vs.(4 556.4 ± 799.1) kJ/d,x2 =2.979,P =0.004],there was no significant difference in TEE between the two groups [(7 819.9 ±728.0) kJ/d vs.(7 803.2 ± 1 092.0) kJ/d,x2 =0.770,P =0.939].Logistic regression showed that glucose absorption from dialysate and dietary fat intakes were risk factors for obesity in the study population (OR =1.003,95% CI =1.000-1.007,P =0.029 ; OR =1.024,95% CI =1.003-1.046,P =0.027).Conclusions Obese CAPD patients may absorb more glucose from peritoneal dialysate and consume more fat than non-obese CAPD patients,but TEE is not significantly different.It indicates that obese CAPD patients are at positive energy balance.Less use of high glucose dialysate and more physical exercises are recommended for these patients.

Objective To study the application value of microvascular density (MVD)in determination of transrectal ultrasound hemodgynamics in the differential diagnosis of prostate cancer and chronic prostatitis, and to provide imageological basis for their differential diagnosis.Methods A total of 6 1 patients suspected of prostate cancer underwent transrectal ultrasound scan and ultrasound guided biopsy.38 cases of prostate cancer and 23 cases of chronic prostatitis were confirmed by pathology and retrospectively analyzed.The peak systolic blood flow velocity (Vs)and blood flow classification of the suspicious lesions were compared and analyzed.The MVD was observed by Weidner method with monoclonal antibody CD34 immunohisochemistry staning. Results The Vs and the blood flow classification of the suspicious lesions in prostate cancer group were significant higher than those in chronic prostatitis group (P<0.05).The MVD in prostate cancer group and chronic prostatitis group were 46.70±13.87 and 34.38±7.28,respectively(P<0.05);the MVD in prostate cancer (C+D)stage and (A+B)stage were 56.99±12.85 and 39.97±10.21,respectively(P<0.05);the MVD in prostate cancer with high Gleason score group and low Gleason score group were 53.79±13.30 and 36.96±7.24,respectively(P<0.05).The Vs and the blood flow classification of the suspicious lesions of prostate cancer had a significantly positive correlation with the MVD (r=0.793,P<0.05;r=0.723,P<0.05).Conclusion The Vs and the blood flow classification of prostate cancer by ultrasound can well reflect the changes of the micrangium in tumor tissue. The Vs and blood supply grade of suspicious lesions in the patients with prostate cancer are significantly higher than those in the patients with chronic prostatitis.They may be useful for the identification of prostate cancer and chronic prostatitis.

Objective To clarify the association of onset and maintenance of metabolic syndrome (MS) with energy metabolism imbalance,especially with dialysate glucose load in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.Methods Using retrospective self-controlled study,the changes of MS,dialysate glucose load and dietary energy intake (DEI) in 126 PD patients in about 1 year were collected and analyzed to define the effect of energy intake on MS.Resting energy expenditure (REE) was measured and physical activity level (PAL) was evaluated based on the activity records in PD patients with unchanged MS state and their impacts on MS were analyzed.Results The incidence of changing from non-MS to MS was higher in glucose load increasing group than that of glucose load unchanged or decreasing group.When glucose load increased,patients developing MS had significantly increased serum triglyceride (TG) level (P<0.01) and significantly decreased serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level (P<0.05),while the waist circumference and blood glucose level did not alter significantly.In patients changing from MS to non-MS,their serum C reactive protein (CRP) levels significantly decreased during the follow-up (P<0.05).No significant difference was found in DEI in patients changing from MS to non-MS.However,in patients changing from non-MS to MS,their DEI decreased during the follow up (P<0.05).In a subgroup analysis in 36 PD patients who maintained their metabolic status and did not change their glucose load,there was no difference in REE per body surface per day between the MS group and the nonMS group (t=0.840,P>0.05).However,the PAL was lower in the MS group than that of the nonMS group (t=2.358,P<0.05).Conclusions The increase of dialysate glucose load may be an important factor leading to the onset of MS,by altering serum TG and HDL-C level.Inflammation and the sedentary life also contribute to the MS state.
