Background:High-fat diet leads to intestinal mucosa barrier dysfunction,but the mechanism is not clear. High-fat diet can induce increase of bile acid. Aims:To investigate whether the high bile acid induced by high-fat diet could act on intestinal stem cell to disrupt stem cell differentiation and imparing the intestinal mucosa. Methods:Twenty-four rats were divided into 3 groups:fed with regular diet,high-fat diet and high-fat diet + cholestyramine,respectively,for 2 weeks. Serum bile acid was detected by ELISA. Ileal diameter was measured and HE staining was performed to observe histology of intestinal mucosa. Expression of Lgr5 gene was determined by RT-qPCR. Ileal tissue fed with regular diet was cultured with deoxycholic acid(DCA)or DCA + cholestyramine for 24 hours in vitro,expression of Lgr5 gene was determined by RT-qPCR. Results:Compared with control group,serum bile acid was significantly increased(P < 0. 05),ileal diameter was significantly decreased,height of intestinal crypts and villus was significantly decreased(P < 0. 05),and expression of Lgr5 gene was significantly decreased in high-fat diet group(P < 0. 01). All the above-mentioned indices were significantly ameliorated in high-fat diet + cholestyramine group(P < 0. 05). In vitro study showed that expression of Lgr5 gene was significantly decreased in DCA group than in control group(P < 0. 01),and cholestyramine could significantly increase expression of Lgr5 gene(P < 0. 05). Conclusions:High-fat diet induced increasing of circulatory bile acid can cause injury of intestinal mucosa by inhibiting stem cell function,which can be ameliorated by cholestyramine.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of warm needling plus acupoint sticking therapy for primary dysmenorrhea.
Methods:A total of 60 eligible cases were randomly allocated into a treatment group (n=30) and a control group (n=30) according to their sequence of consultation. Patients in the treatment group were treated with warm needling combined with acupoint sticking therapy, whereas patients in the control group were treated with oral Ibuprofen (Fenbid) capsules. After two menstrual cycles, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score, COX menstrual symptom scale (CMSS) and clinical efficacy were compared between the two groups.
Results:After treatment, the VAS and CMSS scores were significantly reduced in both groups, indicating that both treatment protocols can remarkably alleviate pain. There was a between-group statistical difference in comparing the CMSS score (P<0.05), but no between-group statistical difference in the VAS score (P>0.05). However, the follow-up visit showed between-group statistical differences in comparing VOA and CMSS scores (bothP<0.01). The clinical effect, relapse rate and long-term efficacy in the treatment group were better than those in the control group.
Conclusion:Warm needling plus acupoint sticking therapy is a simple but effective therapy for primary dysmenorrhea. In addition, it causes fewer cases with relapse.

Objective To investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MS) and education level in Su-Xi-Chang area to provide evidence for healthcare policy making. Methods A clustered sampling of 6798 subjects from Su-Xi-Chang areas of Jiangsu Province was included. Questionnaires and physical examinations were completed to collect clinical data. Logistic regression was used to analyze weather education level could be an independent risk factor of MS. Results Significant differences were found in waist circumstance (WC) ,systolic blood pressure (SBP) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) among participants with different education level. Significant differences were also existed in triglyceride and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) between subjects with higher and lower education level ( P<0. 05 ). In single-factor or multivariate analysis, education level was negatively correlated with the prevalence of MS (P<0. 05 ). Conclusions Education level may be an independent risk factor of MS. People with low and moderate education level have higher risk of MS. Therefore,it is recommended that health-related information should become an integral part of the compulsory education system.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of affective disorder in Kunming City. Methods: A rep-resentative sample of the Kunming general population composed of 5033 individuals aged 15 years and older was se-lecteed randomly by the method of probability proportional to size (PPS), and then was interviewed with the World Health Organization Composite International Diagnostic Interview Version 2.1 (CIDI, version 2.1).The preva-lence of affective disorder was investigated. And the relative factors, onset age and comorbid were also analyzed. Results: The 30-duy prevalence of affective disorder was 0.98%, the 12-month prevalence was 1.22%,and the lifetime prevalence was 1.89%. The results of the single factor analysis showed that the urban residents, the persons who divorced, limited divorced or lost one's spouse, and the unemployed or the higher educated were more vulnerable to depression. The results of the multifactor analysis showed that the rural residents and the males were protective factors to affective disorder. Different subunits of affective disorder had different onset ages. The onset age of 90% bipolar disorder patients was before 25 years old. The patients before 50 years old was risky to dysthy-mia. The patients with major depression had a lifetime risk of onset. Anxiety disorder and pain disorder would in-crease the risk of affective disorder. Conclusion: The findings show that the prevalence of the affective disorder is lower than the same kind survey abroad while it is close to the domestic's. More attention and intervention should been given to the urban population, the females, the singles, the unemployed, and the higher educationed.

Objective: To screen out suspected risk factors associated with neurosis, such as personality dis-order, life events, parental rearing behavior, and to explore degree of their associations. Methods: A case-control study was carried out among 100 cases with neurosis and 200 controls without mental disorder, matched by gender and age (+3 years) . The Life Events Scale (LES), Parental Rearing Style Questionnaire (EMBU), Personali-ty Diagnostic Questionnaire (PDQ-4) were self-reported by the subjects. Results: Single factor analysis showed that there were statistical differences (P <0.05) between case and control groups in negative life event (22.5 vs. 2.5), paternal rejection [(40.4±14.1) vs.(35.4±7.9)], paternal overprotection [(29.1±7.5)vs.(28.2±5.6)], maternal rejection rearing behavior [(40.4±13.7)vs.(36.8±8.5)], and overall personality disorder [(29.8±14.1)vs.(17.1±13.0)] . Using non-conditional logistic regression analysis, the potential protective factor was positive events (OR=0.92, 95% CI:0.87-0.98), and the potential risk factors included negative live events (OR=1.06, 95% CI:1.04~1.08) and overall personality disorder (OR=4.84, 95% CI: 2.24~10.49) . Conclusion: Positive life event may be a protective factor for neurosis, while negative life e-vent and personality disorder may be risk factors.
