ObjectiveTo find the type of dietary structure that can effectively prevent or improve postprandial sleepiness in the Chinese population, and provide scientific basis and solutions for improving or avoiding postprandial sleepiness. MethodsIn this study, a six-day dietary intervention trial was conducted for 20 volunteers on four different diets (normal diet, high-fat diet, high-carbohydrate diet and healthy diet). ResultsThe results showed that sleepiness increased after all four types of meals, but decreased after 30 minutes in the healthy balanced diet group; meanwhile, it increased for 60 minutes before it declined in the high-carbohydrate, high-fat, and normal diet (control) group. At 60 minutes after meal, the drowsiness of the healthy balanced diet group was the weakest, and that of the high carbohydrate diet groups was the strongest, while that of the normal diet group and the high fat diet group was intermediate (P<0.000 1). Postprandial sleepiness was positively correlated with intake of carbohydrate and manganese, and negatively correlated with intake of protein, some mineral elements and vitamins. ConclusionThese results suggest that controlling carbohydrate and fat intake and appropriately increasing the intake of mineral elements and vitamins in a healthy and balanced diet can significantly improve and prevent postprandial sleepiness.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infections in Parkinson's disease(PD)patients at high altitude and peripheral inflammatory markers.Methods:In this prospective study, 120 PD patients in Qinghai Province(altitude: 2260 m)were enrolled and evaluated using PD motor symptom scales and a non-motor symptom scale.The 13C-Urea breath test was used to detect Hp, and patients were divided into an Hp infection group and a non-Hp infection group based on test results.The levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP), white blood cell counts and ratios, serum interleukin-6(IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were measured. Results:The incidence of Hp infections in PD patients was 56.67%(68/120).The scores of Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale(UPDRS)-Ⅲ, UPDRS-Ⅳ, total UPDRS, Hoehn-Yahr(H-Y)score, constipation scoring system(CSS)and Leeds dyspepsia questionnaire(LDQ)in the Hp infection group were higher than those in the non-Hp infection group, while the mini-mental state examination(MMSE)score was lower in the non-Hp infection group(all P<0.05).The neutrophil count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio(MLR), serum IL-6 and TNF-α in the Hp-infection group were elevated compared with the non-Hp infection group(all P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that IL-6, TNF-α, NLR and H-Y score were independent risk factors for Hp infections in PD patients( OR=1.103, 1.188, 3.320, 4.593, respectively, all P<0.05).Correlation analysis showed that IL-6, TNF-α and NLR had positive correlations with UPDRS-Ⅲ( r=0.676, 0.644, 0.488, respectively), UPDRS-Ⅳ( r=0.679, 0.660, 0.430, respectively), UPDRS-total score( r=0.391, 0.448, 0.319, respectively), H-Y( r=0.610, 0.750, 0.460, respectively), CSS( r=0.529, 0.366, 0.212, respectively)and LDQ( r=0.581, 0.440, 0.263, respectively), but were negatively correlated with MMSE score( r=-0.617, -0.596, -0.321, respectively)(all P<0.05). Conclusions:Peripheral inflammation caused by Hp infections may be involved in the occurrence and development of Parkinson's disease at high altitude and serum IL-6, TNF-α and NLR could serve as indicators to evaluate PD patients with Hp infections.

Objective:To screen the differentially expressed exosomal miRNAs derived from liver cancer stem cells (LCSCs) and its effect on the malignant biological characteristics of liver cancer cells.Methods:miRNA expression profile chip was used to analyze the differentially expressed exosomal miRNA derived from LCSCs. The effects of miRNA on malignant phenotypes of LCSCs were identified. The cells were further treated with doxorubicin at different concentrations (0, 150, 300 μmol/L), and the expression level of miR-196a was detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The apoptosis of liver cancer cells cultured by exosomes derived from LCSCs (Exo-NC group) and exosomes derived from miR-196a inhibited LCSCs (Exo-Inhibitor group) and the activity of caspase3/7 under the action of exosomes from LCSCs were detected. Nude mice were randomly divided into Do-PBS group, Do-Exo-Inhibitor group and Do-Exo-NC group using random number table method, with 5 mice in each group, and the effect of miR-196a on nude mice xenograft tumor model with liver cancer cells was analyzed.Results:In this study, exosomes were isolated and purified from CD133 + Huh7 stem cell culture supernatant. miR-7162-3p, miR-1910-5, miR-3613-3p, miR-196a and miR-155-5p were up-regulated, while miR-1246 and miR-3613-5p were down-regulated. miR-7162-3p, miR-196a and miR-155-5p in exosomes had important effects on the self-renewal ability of LCSCs. miR-1910-5p, miR-196a and miR-155-5p had important effects on the invasion ability of liver cancer stem cells, among which miR-196a had the most significant inhibitory effect. Treatment for 24 h, the miR-196a expression level of the 0, 150 and 300 μmol/L doxorubicin was 0.96±0.05, 1.23±0.05 and 2.33±0.03 respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=996.90, P<0.001). Treatment for 48 h, the miR-196a expression level of the 0, 150 and 300 μmol/L doxorubicin were 1.02±0.07, 2.35±0.05 and 2.89±0.55 respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=303.00, P<0.001). When the concentration of doxorubicin was 0 and 300 μmol/L, the apoptosis rates of the Exo-NC group were 9.37%±0.19% and 11.64%±0.27%, and those of the Exo-Inhibitor group were were 18.80%±1.91% and 22.79%±1.57%, with statistically significant differences ( t=4.41, P=0.048; t=4.96, P=0.038). When doxorubicin was not used, the ratios of caspase3/7 in the Exo-NC group at 24 h and 48 h were 0.94±0.08 and 0.97±0.09, and those in the Exo-Inhibitor group were 1.56±0.01 and 1.58±0.01, with statistically significant differences ( t=11.41, P=0.008; t=6.07, P=0.026). Under 300 μmol/L doxorubicin, the ratios of caspase3/7 in the Exo-NC group at 24 h and 48 h were 0.95±0.07 and 1.36±0.08, and those in the Exo-Inhibitor group were 2.84±0.08 and 3.20±0.14, with statistically significant differences ( t=24.20, P=0.002; t=15.78, P=0.004). The results of xenograft tumor in nude mice showed that the tumor volumes of Do-PBS, Do-Exo-Inhibitor and Do-Exo-NC groups increased successively, which were (1 051.86±89.90) mm 3, (1 310.91±86.66) mm 3 and (2 185.14± 352.34) mm 3 respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=30.28, P<0.001). The weights of the transplanted tumors in the 3 groups increased successively, which were (0.36±0.10) g, (0.39±0.12) g and (0.76±0.16) g respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=11.81, P=0.002). The expression of miR-196a in tumors was significantly decreased after miR-196a inhibitor transfection. The expression levels of the 3 groups were 1.05±0.16, 0.38±0.08 and 2.17±0.26, with a statistically significant difference ( F=48.93, P<0.001). Conclusion:The exosomal secreted by LCSCs can enhance the resistance of liver cancer cells to doxorubicin by miR-196a.

Objective To explore the changes and significance of Klotho protein levels in different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods From March 2015 to December 2017,176 patients with CKD admitted to nephrology department of Inner Mongolia People's Hospital were selected as the study object (CKD group), and 80 healthy patients in our hospital were selected as the control group in the same period. The serum Klotho levels of CKD patients and control group at different stages were detected by double antibody sandwich ELISA, and the differences between each group were compared. Results The serum Klotho level of CKD group (( 4. 84 ± 1. 87) μg/L) was significantly lower than that of the control group ((9. 11± 3. 14) μg/L) ( t= 13. 82, P<0. 01) . One-way anova showed that estimated renal glomerular filtration rate (eGFR),serum albumin (ALB),hemoglobin ( Hb),blood calcium ( Ca) and serum Klotho were gradually decreased,while phosphorus (P) and creatinine (Cr) in serum were gradually increased,and the difference was statistically significant among the five stages( all P<0. 01). Spearman correlation analysis showed that Klotho level was positively correlated with eGFR and Ca,and negatively correlated with CKD stage,Cr and P (r=0. 369,0. 160,-0. 200,-0. 250,-0. 230,all P<0. 05). The multiple linear regression equation showed that Klotho level was positively and independently correlated with eGFR ( t= 3. 89, P<0. 001),and negatively correlated with CKD staging independently (t=-4. 12,P<0. 001). Conclusion The expression level of serum Klotho protein in patients with CKD is lower than that of healthy people,and it decreases with the increase of CKD stages,which is closely related to the deterioration of renal function. It can be used as a reference index to evaluate the incidence and severity of CKD.

Objective To investigate the changes and clinical significance of the plasma growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) in patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). Methods A total of 100 patients with CHF were in?cluded in this study (CHF group), and 30 healthy persons were used as control group. CHF group was divided into heart func? tionⅡgrade (n=35),Ⅲgrade (n=32),Ⅳgrade (n=33) groups in accordance with New York Heart Association (NYHA). And CHF group was also divided into left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)<0.4 grade (n=52) and LVEF≥0.4 grade (n=48) groups in accordance with LVEF of patients. The plasma GDF-15 and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels were detected by ELISA. The values of LVEF, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDd), left ventricular systolic diameter (LVDs) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) were detected by echocardiography. The correlation of GDF-15, NYHA classifi?cation, BNP and index of echocardiography was analyzed between groups. Results Compared with control group, the levels of BNP, GDF-15, LVDd and LVDs were significantly higher in heart failure group, and values of LVEF and LVFS were sig?nificantly lower (P<0.05). The plasma levels of BNP, GDF-15, LVDd and LVDs were in turn increased in control group, LVEF≥0.4 grade group and LVEF<0.4 grade group. The plasma levels of LVFS were in turn decreased, in control group, LVEF≥0.4 grade group and LVEF<0.4 grade group (P<0.05). There were positive correlations between the plasma levels of GDF-15 and BNP, NYHA, LVDd and LVDs (r=0.524, 0.286, 0.453 and 0.531, P<0.05). The plasma level of GDF-15 was negatively correlated with LVEF and LVFS (r=-0.592,-0.587,P<0.05). Conclusion The plasma level of GDF-15 can be used as a new marker for diagnosis, treatment and prognosis in patients with chronic congestive heart failure.

Objective: To investigate the protection roll of rosuvastatin on chronic heart failure (CHF) in rats with its effect on asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) metabolic pathway.
Methods: A total of 36 male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, n=12 in each group. Isoproterenol (ISO) group, the rats received ISO subcutaneous injection (5mg·kg·d) for 7 days to establish CHF model, and then received normal saline gavage administration for 7 days. Rosuvastatin (ROS) treatment group, the rats received ISO with ROS for 7 days, then continuously receiving ROS until 14 days. Normal control group, the rats received saline gavage administration for 7 days. The related serum index and haemodynamic parameters were examined, myocardial pathological changes were observed and the relevant protein expression was measured by Western blot analysis.
Results: Compared with Normal control group, ISO group had obviously increased troponin (cTn I), serum ADMA,-LVdP/dtmin, all P<0.01, and decreased left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), heart rate, arterial SP, mean arterial pressure, +LVdP/dtmax, all P<0.01. Compared with ISO group, ROS treatment group showed signiifcantly decreased BNP, cTn I, ADMA , -LVdP/dtmin, all P<0.01, and increased LVSP, heart rate, arterial SP, mean arterial pressure,+LVdP/dtmax, all P<0.01. Compared with Normal control group, ISO group had increased expression of protein arginine methyltransferases 1 (PRMT1), decreased expression of dimethyl- arginine dimethylaminohydrolase 2 (DDHA2), both P<0.01. Compared with ISO group, ROS treatment group showed decreased expression of PRMT1, P<0.01 and similar expression DDHA2, P>0.05.
Conclusion: Rosuvastatin has the protective roll on ISO induced CHF in rats, which might be related to decreased serum levels of cTn I, BNP and ADMA metabolic pathway regulation.
