ObjectiveTo study the effect of nutritional intervention combined with aerobic exercises on serum adiponectin and insulin resistance in nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) patients.Methods32 patients confirmed as NAFL between April 2008 and August 2009 were enrolled into NAFL group and 31 health people into control group.NAFL group received nutritional intervention and followed aerobic exercise program.The changes of body mass index (BMI),serum adiponectin,fasting blood glucose (FBG),fasting insulin (FINS) and serum lipids were recorded before and after interventions.Insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) was calculated.Inter-group difference,changes after intervention,and correlation between serum adiponectin and the other indexes were analyzed.ResultsCompared with the control group,BMI [ (29.84 ±3.16) kg/m2 vs.(22.22 ± 1.81 ) kg/m2,P =0.000],total cholesterol (TC) [ (5.09 ±0.86) mmol/L vs.(4.38 ±0.85) mmol/L,P =0.002],triglyceride (TG) [ (1.99±0.86) mmol/Lvs.(1.10±0.38) mmol/L,P=0.000],FBG[ (6.02±0.63) mmol/Lvs.(5.02±0.71) mmol/L,P=0.000],FINS[ (13.73±3.24) mU/Lvs.(9.55±1.99) mU/L,P=0.000],HOMA-IR [ (3.74±1.21) mmol/L vs.(2.08 ±0.27) mmol/L,P=0.000] in the NAFL group were significantly higher,while serum adiponectin in the NAFL group was significantly lower [ (4.89 ± 1.81 ) ug/L vs.( 12.97 ± 3.15 ) ug/L,P =0.000 ].After nutritional intervention and aerobic exercises,BMI [ ( 26.65 ± 2.39 ) kg,/m2 vs.(29.84 ±3.16) kg/m2,P =0.000] 、FBG [ (5.61 ±0.47) mmol/L vs.(6.02 ±0.63) mmol/L,P =0.004 ],and FINS [ ( 11.12 ± 2.01 ) mU/L vs.( 13.73 ± 3.24) mU/L,P =0.000 ] in the NAFL group were decreased significantly,while serum adiponectin [ (6.54 ±2.12) ug/L vs.(4.89 ± 1.81 ) ug/L,P =0.001 ] was significantly higher than the level before intervention.Serum adiponectin was negatively correlated with BMI,FBG,FINS,HOMA-IR,and TG (P =0.004,0.000,0.000,0.000,and 0.010),and positively correlated with high density lipoprotein cholesterol (P =0.026),but not correlated with TC (P =0.101 ).ConclusionThe combination of nutritional intervention and aerobic exercises can improve the level of serum adiponectin,adjust the level of serum glucose and serum lipids,and alleviate insulin resistance in NAFL patients.

Background:With the increasing of antibiotic resistance and decreasing of eradication rate of standard triple therapy, bismuth-containing quadruple regimens were recommended by the update Chinese consensus report for eradication of Helicobacter pylori( Hp ) infection. Aims:To evaluate the eradication rate of the recommended bismuth-containing quadruple regimens for guiding the choice of low cost and high efficiency eradication regimens. Methods:A search of online database( CNKI,Wanfang and VIP)was carried out. Clinical trials published in Chinese from 2011 to 2013 that evaluated the eradication rate of the recommended bismuth-containing quadruple regimens were retrieved. Data were extracted by standardized data forms. According to the categories raised by Dr. Graham,the eradication rates were graded and analyzed. Results:A total of 166 eligible articles including 192 clinical trials for eradication of Hp infection were obtained. Nationwidely,the eradication rates of amoxicillin-containing regimens were acceptable,among which PAFB( PPI+amoxicillin+furazolidone+bismuth)regimen was more prone to achieve excellent eradication rate(≥95%). PACB ( PPI+amoxicillin+clarithromycin+bismuth)regimen was optimal for Hp eradication in East China,and PAFB regimen was optimal in Central South China. A 14-day treatment course was appropriate. Conclusions:In the recommended bismuth-containing quadruple regimens,PAFB regimen might be the first choice nationwidely for eradication of Hp infection in individuals without amoxicillin-hypersensitivity because of its low cost and high efficiency. The recommended treatment course is 14-day.

The study of brain information flow is of great significance to understand brain function in the field of neuroscience. The Granger causality is widely used functional connectivity analysis using multivariate autoregressive model based on the predicted mechanism. High resolution electroencephalogram (EEG) signals of ten healthy subjects were collected with a visual selective attention task. Firstly, independent component analysis was used to extract three spatially independent components of the occipital, parietal, and frontal cortices. Secondly, the Granger causal connectivity was computed between these three regions based on the Granger causality method and then independent sample t-test and bootstrap were used to test the significance of connections. The results showed that Granger causal connectivity existed from frontal to occipital and from parietal to occipital in attentional condition, while causal connectivity from frontal to occipital disappeared in unattentional condition.

Methods The antigen s of Lumbricus terrestris (L.terrestris) and [ WT5”BX]Schistosoma japonicu m (S.japonicum) were analysed by SDS-PAGE technique, and reacte d with the sera of patients with schistosomiasis and the sera of rabbits immunized with LtAg by Dot-ELISA and Western-blot. Results [WT5” B Z]There were many similar molecular weight antigens between LtAg and SjAg. Spe cially some antigens between 30-90 kDa form LtAg had intensive cross reactio n with the sera of patients with schistosomiasis. SjAg was also reacted with the sera of r abbits immunized with LtAg. Conclusion There are at least three immunocompetent antigens with similar molecular weight between L.terrestris and S.japonicum. [

AIM: To study whether mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from fetal liver can differentiate into skeletal muscle-like cells. METHODS: MSCs were isolated from C57BL/6J mouse fetal liver and were induced by 5-azacytidine and amphotericin B. Myf5 and myogenin were tested by RT-PCR. Desmin and ?-actin was examined by immunocytochemistry. RESULTS: RT-PCR showed that the treated cells expressed Myf5 and myogenin orderly from 6 hours to 72 hours, while the untreated cells did not. Immunocytochemistry confirmed that these cells were positive for desmin and ?-actin and the positive rate was higher in 7 days than that in 14 days. CONCLUSION: MSCs derived from fetal liver can be induced into skeletal muscle-like cells in vitro.

AIM: To evaluate the inhibitory effect of galactose (Gal)-polyethyleneimine (PEI)-c-myc antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN) complex on proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. METHODS: Human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line Bel-7402 was treated with Gal-PEI-ASODN complex. Cell proliferation was tested by trypan blue dye at different time points and with various concentrations of ASODN treatment. Cell morphology was observed under inverted microscope, cell hypodiploid percentage was analyzed by flow cytometry and cell ultrastructure was observed through electron microscopy. RESULTS: Compared with ASODN group (20 ?mol/L) from (0 h) to 96 h, Gal-PEI-ASODN complex (with ASODN 0.75 ?mol/L) significantly suppressed Bel-7402 cells proliferation, the ASODN concentration within Gal-PEI-ASODN complex and time course acquired were significantly lower and shorter, respectively. Incubated with pure ASODN at different concentrations for 72 hours, cell proliferation was inhibited and IC_(50) was 20.9 ?mol/L; while mediated with galactose receptor for 48 hours, ASODN significantly inhibited cell proliferation and IC_(50) was only 0.294 ?mol/L, the inhibitory efficacy of ASODN enhanced 70.9 folds. While Bel-7402 cells were incubated with Gal-PEI-ASODN complex for 48 hours, cell hypodiploid percentage was much higher than ASODN groups and cell apoptosis was seen under electron microscopy. CONCLUSIONS: Galactose receptor mediated ASODN delivery may significantly increase proliferation inhibition efficacy on Bel-7402 cells. [

Objective To investigate the expression of sex hormone receptor (SHR) in meningioma and its relationships to the origin of tumor central artery.Methods The expressions of sex hormone receptors, including progesterone receptor (PR), androgen receptor (AR) and estrogen receptor (ER) in 43 cases with meningioma were detected by immunohistochemically streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) method. These data combined with the characteristics of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) were analyzed.Results The expression of ER in meningioma was not related to the origin of tumor central artery. The positive expression rates of PR and AR in external carotid artery (ECA) original group (26.9%,23.1%) were significantly lower than those in internal carotid artery (ICA) original group (88.9%,77.8%) and ECA combined with ICA group (87.5%,87.5%) (all P
