MicroRNAs (miRNAs) were found as a species of small non-coding single-stranded RNA molecules with the size of 20 to 25 nucleotides in recent years, which featured highly conserved and endogeny. It depredated and inhibited the target mRNA translation by complementary base pairing with the target mRNA. According to the latest study, miRNA was closely related with obesity, type 2 diabetes and other metabolic diseases. Obesity had became a major public health problem worldwide, which showed as an unusual increase in both the number and size of fat cells based on excessive accumulation of fat lead by the body’s energy metabolism imbalance of a metabolic disease. Among them, miRNA-193b-365 had an abnormal expression in adipocyte differentiation and obesity status. It might be involved in adipocyte differentiation and the development of obesity. Thus, it was of great significance to do a deep research in the understanding adipocyte differentiation mechanism to prevent and treat obesity. This paper reviewed research progress in this field.

Based on ninety three acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) which have the same mechanism of action but are different in structural characteristics, the pharmacophore model for acetylcholinesterase inhibitor was constructed by the CATALYST system. The optimal pharmacophore model with three hydrophobic units, a ring aromatic unit and a hydrogen-bond acceptor unit were confirmed (Weight=3.29, RMS=0.53, total cost-null cost=62.75, Correl=0.93, Config=19.05). This pharmacophore model will act on the double active site of acetylcholinesterase and is able to predict the activity of known acetylcholinesterase inhibitors that are used for clinical treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and can be further used to identify structurally diverse compounds that have higher activity treating with Alzheimer's disease (AD) by virtual screening.

Objective To investigate the effect of propofol post?conditioning on oxygen?glucose deprivation and restoration ( OGD∕R)?induced abnormal cell cycle activation in hippocampal neurons of rats. Methods Primarily cultured hippocampal neurons obtained from fetal Wistar rats were cultured for 7 days and seeded in culture wells (100 μl∕well) or in culture flasks (3 ml∕flask) at a density of 5×105cells∕ml. The neurons were divided into 3 groups ( n=24 each) using a random number table: control group ( group C); group OGD∕R; propofol post?conditioning group (group PP). The neurons were subjected to oxygen?glucose deprivation for 1 h followed by restoration of oxygen?gulcose supply for 24 h. Propofol 1.2μg∕ml was added immediately after onset of oxygen?glucose restoration, and the neurons were incubated for 2 h in group PP. At 24 h of oxygen?glucose restoration, cells were collected for measurement of the cell viability by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay, and the mitochondrial membrane potential ( MMP ) , intracellular Ca2+concentration ( [ Ca2+] i ) and distribution of cell cycle were determined using flow cytometry. Results Compared with group C, the cell viability and MMP were significantly decreased, [ Ca2+] i was signifi? cantly increased, the proportion of the cells in G0∕G1 phase was significantly decreased, and the proportion of the cells in S and G2∕M phases was significantly increased in OGD∕R and PP groups (P<0.05). Com?pared with group OGD∕R, the cell viability and MMP were significantly increased, [ Ca2+] i was significant?ly decreased, the proportion of the cells in G0∕G1 phase was significantly increased, and the proportion of the cells in S and G2∕M phases was significantly decreased in group PP (P<0.05). Conclusion The mechanism by which propofol post?conditioning reduces OGD∕R?induced apoptosis in hippocampal neurons of rats is associated with inhibition of abnormal cell cycle activation.

Objective To investigate differences in Rab protein expressions in McCoy cells with acute versus persistent Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) infection.Methods Cultured McCoy cells were infected with different amounts (400,500,550 μl/well) of Ct strain D suspensions,then cultured with the medium containing 100 U/ml penicillin G (persistent Ct infection groups) or that without penicillin G (acute Ct infection groups).Ct-uninfected McCoy cells receiving no penicillin G treatment served as the blank control group,and those receiving penicillin G treatment as the penicillin group.Mter 48-hour culture,McCoy cells were lysed,proteins were collected,and total RNA was extracted from the cells.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was conducted to measure protein levels of Rab4A,Rab6A,Rab10,Rab11A and Rab14,and fluorescence-based quantitative PCR to quantify mRNA expressions of Rab4A and Rab14 (expressed as 2-ΔΔα).Results Protein levels of Rab4A,Rab6A,Rab10,Rab11A and Rab14 were all significantly lower in the acute than in the persistent Ct infection groups (all Z =3.621,P ＜ 0.001),and lower in the persistent and acute Ct infection groups than in the blank control group (all P ＜ 0.008 3),but insignificantly different between the blank control group and penicillin group (all P ＞ 0.05).In addition,the expressions of Rab4A and Rab14 mRNAs were consistent with those of their proteins in these groups.Conclusion The transcriptional and expression levels of Rab proteins are higher in McCoy cells persistently infected with Ct than in those acutely infected with Ct.

Objective To evaluate the effects of a comprehensive intervention including regular aerobic exercise and health education on knowledge,attitude,belief,practice (KAP) scores,body mass index (BMI),waist circumferences,blood pressure,serum glucose and lipid levels in middle-aged and elderly people with overweight and obesity.Methods Three resident communities were chosen randomly from Wangdingdi community in Nankai district in Tianjin.Totally 125 overweight people were involved in this study,62 and 63 people were randomly assigned to intervention group and control group respectively.The members of intervention group were asked to participate in aerobic exercise and health education program 3 times per week within 6 months.And control group members received no intervention.Then to evaluate the effects of intervention of regular aerobic exercise and health education by physical examination and questionnaire.Comparison between intervention group and control group was performed using a repeatedmeasures analysis of variance.Results The comprehensive intervention resulted in significant improvement of the KAP scores [13.82 (95％CI:12.42-15.23)] and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [0.22(95％ CI:0.17-0.28) mmol/L] and reductions in intervention group in body mass index [-0.47 (95％ CI:-0.58-0.36) kg/m2],waist circumference [-4.00 (95％ CI:-5.01--2.99) cm],systolic blood pressure [-11.69 (95％ CI:-13.84--9.55) mmHg] (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa),fasting plasma glucose [-1.21 (95％ CI:-1.55--0.88) mmol/L],triglyceride [-0.06 (95％ CI:-0.25-0.13) mmol/L],low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [-0.48 (95％ CI:-0.62--0.34) mmol/L].Conclusion Regular aerobic exercise and health education program in community can successfully reduce body mass index,waist circumference and some other risk factors related to overweight and obesity.It is effective to improve awareness,physical fitness,change lifestyle for middle-aged and elderly people in the community.

Objective To compare the RIFLE and AKIN diagnosis criteria for acute kidney injury ( AKI) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods Patients undergoing cardiac surgery from January 2004 to June 2007 were retrospectively evaluated. RIFLE and AKIN criteria were employed for the diagnosis and staging of AKI which occurred 7 d after cardiac surgery. The diagnosis sensitivity and precision for prediction of hospital mortality were compared between these two criteria. Results One thousand and fifty-six patients were included in this study. There was no significant difference between the prevalence of AKI after cardiac surgery diagnosed by RIFLE criteria and that diagnosed by AKIN criteria (29.55% vs 31.06%, P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the total hospital mortality and the hospital mortality of each stage of AKI diagnosed by RIFLE criteria and those diagnosed by AKIN criteria ( P > 0. 05). Logistic regression analysis suggested that the relative risk of hospital mortality for AKI was similar between patients diagnosed by AKIN criteria and those diagnosed by RIFLE criteria. The area under the ROC curve for hospital mortality was 0. 856 for RIFLE and 0.865 for AKIN in all patients (P<0.001). Conclusion Compared to RIFLE criteria, AKIN criteria do not improve the sensitivity of diagnosis and predictive ability of hospital mortality of AKI after cardiac surgery.

Objective To investigate clinical and pathological features of pseudoepitheliomatous keratotic and micaceous balanitis (PKMB).Methods The clinical and pathological features as well as treatment of PKMB were retrospectively analyzed in 5 male patients collected from Janumy 2008 to December 2013.Results The age at onset of PKMB varied from 56 to 67 years in these 5 patients,and none of the patients had received prepucectomy.Indurated keratotic plaques were observed in the glans of penis and inner lamina of the prepuce with no tenderness on palpation,whose surfaces were covered with grayish yellow,adherent and hard micaceous crusts.Histopathological study revealed obvious hyperkeratosis complicated by parakeratosis,epidermal pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia,thickened spinous layer,and normal cell polarity in the epidermis,as well as telangiectasis and mild to moderate lymphocytic infiltration in the upper dermis.Immunohistochemical examination showed positive nuclear staining of epidermal cells for human papillomavirus (HPV) in 2 cases.Two patients took small doses of prednisone,but achieved no obvious improvement.Oral isotretinoin had resulted in a favorable outcome in another two cases,but relapse occurred after dose reduction,and thick crusts still appeared after topical application of glucocorticoid cream and tacrolimus cream,or carbon dioxide laser treatment and photodynamic therapy.Conclusions PKMB is a chronic and obstinate disease,and should be diagnosed based on pathological findings.Its treatment is difficult,and tretinoin has some effects,but relapse often occurs after drug withdrawal and maintenance treatment is needed.

This study was aimed to find the relationship between lung function injured characteristic of ulcerative colitis (UC) and endoscopic index. It will verify and enrich Chinese medicine theory to guide clinical diagnosis and treatment. UC patients without respiratory system diseases were selected between September 2009 and March 2011 from several triple-A hospitals in China. Furthermore, disease history, lung function, colonoscopy and histopathology were taken. The results showed that among 171 enrolled cases, there were statistical differences in endoscopic index of residual-function and diffusion-function between the abnormal group and the normal group (P< 0.05). The resid-ual-function group was r = 0.003. There were no statistical differences in ventilatory-function and small-airway-function in the abnormal group. It was concluded that there were different types of injured lung function in UC. A-mong them, the abnormalities of residual-function and diffusion-function had strong correlation with the intestinal damage degree. The change on residual-function was more obvious.
