OBJECTIVETo investigate the efficacy mechanisme of chicory extract interventing abdominal obesity rat from the aspect of gut bacteria.
METHODMale SD rats were randomly divided into five groups, namely the normal group, model group, large and small dose group of chicory and the fenofibrate group. Normal group was given deionized water, the other group was given fructose water and give the medical treatment of chicory and fenofibrate. Assay triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL and HDL by biochemical methods and measure body weight and abdominal circumference and microscopicly observe the count changes of gut bacteria through real-time PCR method.
RESULTCompared with normal group, the triglyceride level and abdominal circumference were significantly higher (P < 0.05), weight and high-density lipoprotein increased but no significant changes and E. coli, lactobacillus increased significantly. Compared with model group, chicory extract large and small dose group and the fenofibrate group can significantly reduce triglyceride levels (P < 0.05), reduce the number of E. coli and Lactobacillus and increase the number of bifidobacteria. The fenofibrate group can significantly reduce total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein levels.
CONCLUSIONThe chicory's treatment effect on abdominal obesity is significant. The efficacy mechanisme intervention abdominal obesity may be related to the reduction of the number of lactic acid bacteria and E. coli and the increase of bifidobacteria.

Heat shock protein 27 ( HSP27 ) is an endogenous protein that plays an important role in a great variety of physio-logical and pathological processes. It can express a large number under body stress conditions. Recent studies have shown estro-gen upregulates the expression of HSP27 through a number of ways, playing a perfect “triple protection” role. In the early stage of atherosclerosis, estrogen induces the phosphorylation of HSP27 via PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Phosphorylation of HSP27 can resist the injury of vascular endothelial cells( VECs) through an antioxidant and anti-apoptotic pathway as well as the inhibition of cytochrome C. In the stage of forming foam cells, estrogen induces the expression and release of HSP27 from mac-rophages by stimulating the estrogen receptor β ( ERβ) , then HSP27 inhibits the LDL uptake and the release of proinflammato-ry cytokine by binding scavenger receptor A ( SR-A) . During the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells ( VSMCs) , estrogen induces estrogen receptor α ( ERα) and protein phosphatase 2 ( PP2A) to form a complex that enhances the activity of PP2A, then it can lead to the dephosphorylation of HSP27 and finally inhibit cells proliferation and migration. In summary, the anti-atherosclerotic effect of estrogen is closely re-lated to the role of HSP27. Given the side effects of estrogen re-placement therapy( MHT) , regulating HSP27 may provide a no-vel therapy for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular dis-eases in menopausal women clinically.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of mucinous cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas. Methods The clinical data of 23 patients with pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma confirmed by pathology from May 1993 to October 2005 was retrospectively studied. Results Fifteen cases of mucinous cystadenoma, 4 cases of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, and 4 cases of mucinous cystadenoma with malignancy were included in this data. Ultrasonography, CT, and MRI/MRCP displayed a cystic tumor in 73.7%, 68.8%, and 83.3% of all patients, respectively. The mean diameter of the tumors was 9.4 cm, and the maximum diameter of the tumors was 20 cm. Pancreaticoduodenectomy, distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy, local excision of cystadenoma and other procedures were performed according to the site of tumors. The resectable rate was 82.6%. Twenty-one patients (91.3%) were followed up. All of the 14 patients with mucinous cystadenoma were alive with the follow-up from 4 months to 11 years after operation. Two of the 4 cases of mucinous cystadenoma with malignancy were alive with the follow-up of 5 months and 4 years after operations, while the other 2 died with the survival time of 15 months and 18 months. One patient with mucinous cystadenocacinoma was alive 5 months after operation, while the other 2 died with the survival time of 7 months and 13 months. Conclusion Mucinous cystadenoma has a malignant tendency. As the mucinous cystadenocacinoma is a low malignant potential tumor, the resectable rate is high and prognosis is satisfactory. The excision of total tumor including the surrounding pancreatic tissue is the first choice of the treatment. Pancreaticoduodenectomy, distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy, and other procedures according to the site tumors is feasible.
