Objective To investigate the effects of whole grain-bean mixed staple food on intestinal microecology,anthropometric,and metabolic parameters of obese people.Methods Totally 87 obese people were divided with random number table into whole grain-bean mixed staple food group (test group) and refined grains staple food group (control group).Body weight (BW),body mass index (BMI),waist circumference (WC),hip circumference (HC),waist/hip ratio (WHR),fasting plasma glucose (FPG),triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol (TC),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),and colony count of intestinal flora (bacillus bifidus,lactobacillus,clostridium perfringens,enterobacteria,enterococcus,bacteroides) were measured at baseline and 3 months after intervention.Results Ten people were excluded from this research,6 in the test group and 4 in the control group.Mter 3 months of dietary intervention,BW,BMI,WC,HC,and WHR were significantly lower in the test group than in the control group [(69.45 ± 7.07) kgvs.(72.42 ±5.79) kg,P=0.000; (26.08 ±1.48) kg/m2 vs.(27.27 ±0.81) kg/m2,P=0.000; (82.48±9.30) cm vs.(86.96±4.93) cm,P =0.000; (90.08 ±6.57) cm vs.(92.42 ±6.67) cm,P =0.000; 0.92 ±0.11vs.0.95 ±0.10,P =0.003].The levels of FPG,TC,and LDL-C in the test group were significantly lower than those in the control group [(4.92 ± 0.75) mmoL/L vs.(5.41 ± 1.21) mmoL/L,P=0.037; (3.85±1.13) mmoL/L vs.(4.38 ±1.26) mmoL/L,P=0.046; (3.55 ±1.04) mmoL/L vs.(4.16 ± 1.40) rnmoL/L,P =0.033] ; the level of HDL-C in the test group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(1.13 ± 0.37) mmoL/L vs.(0.92 ± 0.26) mmoL/L,P =0.004].The colony counts of intestinal bacillus bifidus,lactobacillus,and bacteroides in the test group were significantly higher than in the control group [(7.94 ± 0.58) lg CFU/g vs.(6.95 ± 0.38) lg CFU/g,P =0.000 ; (7.67 ± 0.46) lg CFU/g vs.(6.96 ± 0.57) lg CFU/g,P =0.000 ; (5.53 ± 0.44) lg CFU/g vs.(4.80 ±0.23) lg CFU/g,P =0.000],while the colony count of clostridium perfringens was significantly lower than in the control group [(4.40 ± 0.49) lg CFU/g vs.(5.11 ± 0.63) lg CFU/g,P =0.000].Conclusions In obese people,whole grain-bean mixed staple food can improve anthropometric parameters,some lipid metabolic parameters,and intestinal flora.The underlying mechanism may involve promoting the survival and proliferation of probiotics,thereby improving glucose and lipid metabolism.

Objective To study the effects of adjusted proportional macronutrient intake on serum uric acid,blood lipids,renal function,and nutritional status of patients with gout and overweight.Methods Sixtyseven patients with gout and overweight were randomized into high protein group and low purine group for 6 months.Each patient had had at least one gouty attacks during the six months before enrollment.Dietary recommendations consisted of calorie restriction to 6276 kJ per day with 40％ derived from carbohydrate,30％ from protein,and 30％ from fat,and the refined carbohydrates were replaced with complex ones and saturated fats with mono-and polyunsaturated ones.High protein group didn't limit purine intake.The two dietary consisted of isoenergetic (6276 kJ).Dietary of low purine group consisted of 60％ derived from carbohydrate,10％ from protein,and 30％ from fat,and limited of parine ＜ 150 mg/d.At onset and 6 months after intervention,fasting blood samples were taken for determination of uric acid(UA),total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),fasting plasma glucose(FBG),serum creatinine(SCr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),albumin(ALB),total protein(TP),and hemoglobin(Hb);the number of gout attacks was recorded.Results Sixty-one persons completed the study.Dietary measures resulted in weight loss[(65.75 ± 3.26)vs(69.31 ± 7.78)kg,P =0.043)and a decrease in the frequency of sixmonth gout attacks(17 vs 28,P =0.000).After the trial,compared to low-purine group,UA[(420.25 ±36.78)vs(466.81 ±41.97)μmol/L,P=0.000],TC[(5.69±0.46)vs(6.49±1.04)mmol/L,P=0.007),TG[(2.15 ±0.54)vs(3.13 ±0.62)mmol/L,P =0.000]and FBG[(5.63 ±0.82)vs(6.49 ±0.64)mmol/L,P =0.000]decreased significantly in the high protein group.There were no significant differences in LDL-C[(3.55 ±0.80)vs(3.73 ±0.72)mmol/L,P =0.445],SCr[(96.63 ± 16.97)vs(94.28 ±13.35)μmol/L,P =0.597],and BUN[(4.89 ± 1.25)vs(4.46 ± 1.21)mmol/L,P =0.208]between two groups.HDL-C[(1.24±0.22)vs(0.89±0.26)mmol/L,P=0.000],ALB[(41.56±5.37)vs(37.08±5.94)mmol/L,P=0.014],TP(72.97 ±5.41)vs(67.27±7.87)g/L,P=0.005],and Hb[(142.86±12.31)vs(114.25 ± 12.98)g/L,P =0.001]increased significantly in the high protein group.Gouty attacks were reduced and decreased by 48.48％ and 22.22％ in high protein group and low purine group,respectively.The differences between the two group was statistically significant(P =0.000)Conclusion Change in proportional macronutrient intake is helpful to reduce body weight and thus is beneficial for lowering UA,improving lipid metabolism and nutritional status,and decreasing the frequency of gout attacks.

Objective: To investigate the community promotion feasibility of superficial needling plus club swing for post-stroke motion impairment of the shoulder joint. Methods:A total of 180 cases (duration <1.5 years) with post-stroke motion impairment of the shoulder joint were recruited from three community health centers in Changning District, 60 from each community. They were randomly allocated into an observation group (n=90) and a control group (n=90). Patients in both groups received standard internal and rehabilitation care. Patients in the observation group received additional superficial needling plus club swing. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was conducted before and 60 d after the treatment to evaluate the severity of shoulder pain. The active movement of the shoulder joint and activities of daily living (ADL) were also observed. Results:There were no between-group statistical differences before the treatment (allP>0.05). After a 60-day treatment, the shoulder pain severity, active range of motion of the shoulder joint and ADL in the observation group were significantly improved than those in the control group (allP<0.01). In addition, no adverse events were reported by participants in the observation group. Conclusion:Superficial needling plus club swing plays a positive role in improving post-stroke motion impairment of the shoulder joint. This safe, reliable and economical therapy has good patient compliance and is suitable for community promotion.
