RESUMO
ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Qigesan (QGS) in intervening in the migration and invasion of esophageal carcinoma TE-1 cells. MethodMicroarray technology was used to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the normal group and the QGS group, and the ontological functions and signaling pathways of DEGs were analyzed. The thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to detect the effect of QGS on the viability of TE-1 cells. In the subsequent experiments for verification, a blank group, a transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) group, a TGF-β1 + QGS group, and a TGF-β1 + SB431542 group were set up. The cell morphology in each experimental group was observed by microscopy. The migration and invasion abilities of cells were detected by wound healing assay, and the mRNA expression levels of E-Cadherin, vimentin, Smad2, and Smad7 were detected by Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). The protein expression of E-Cadherin, vimentin, p-Smad2/3, Smad2/3, and Smad7 was detected by Western blot. ResultThere were 1 487 DEGs between the QGS group and the blank group, including 1 080 down-regulated ones (accounting for 72.63%) and 407 up-regulated ones. The down-regulated genes were mainly involved in biological processes such as cytoskeletal protein binding, ATP binding, adenylate nucleotide binding, and adenylate ribonucleotide binding, and the involved Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways included TGF-β signaling pathway, cell cycle, extracellular matrix-receptor interaction protein, tumor pathways, and oocyte meiosis. The up-regulated genes were mainly involved in RNA binding, DNA binding, transcriptional regulator activity, transcriptional activator activity, and nucleotide binding, and the KEGG pathways involved mainly included mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, bladder cancer, renal cell carcinoma, cancer pathways, and p53 signaling pathway. Compared with the blank group, the inhibition rate of cell viability of TE-1 cells increased after QGS (20, 30, 40, 60, 80 mg·L-1) intervention for 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 h (P<0.05), and the inhibition rate was time- and dose-dependent. Compared with the blank group, the TGF-β1 group showed lengthened cells with fibroblast phenotype. Compared with the TGF-β1 group, the TGF-β1 + QGS group showed shortened cells with normal morphology and epithelial phenotype. The cell morphology in the TGF-β1 + SB431542 group was similar to that of the TGF-β1 + QGS group. Compared with the blank group, the TGF-β1 group showed potentiated ability of cell migration and invasion (P<0.05). Compared with the TGF-β1 group, the TGF-β1 + QGS group and the TGF-β1 + SB431542 group showed inhibited and weakened migration and invasion abilities of cells (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in migration and invasion abilities between the TGF-β1 + QGS group and the TGF-β1 + SB431542 group. The mRNA expression levels of vimentin and Smad2 in the TGF-β1 group were higher (P<0.05), and the mRNA expression levels of E-Cadherin and Smad7 were lower (P<0.05) than those in the blank group. Compared with the TGF-β1 group, the TGF-β1 + QGS group and the TGF-β1+ SB431542 group exhibited decreased expression levels of vimentin and Smad2 mRNA (P<0.05), and elevated expression levels of E-Cadherin and Smad7 mRNA (P<0.05). Compared with the blank group, the TGF-β1 group showed up-regulated protein expression levels of vimentin, p-Smad2/3, and Smad2/3 (P<0.05), and reduced protein expression levels of E-Cadherin and Smad7 (P<0.05). Compared with the TGF-β1 group, the TGF-β1 + QGS group and the TGF-β1 + SB431542 group displayed decreased protein expression levels of vimentin, p-Smad2/3, and Smad2/3 (P<0.05), and increased protein expression levels of E-Cadherin and Smad7 (P<0.05). ConclusionThe ethyl acetate extract of QGS inhibits the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of TE-1 cells through the TGF-β1 pathway to reduce the migration and invasion of TE-1 cells.
RESUMO
As aging in our society picks up pace, the number of elderly patients undergoing surgery is increasing every year.Recovery of elderly surgical patients is affected by poor nutrition, frailty, decline of cardiopulmonary function and other health issues.A new concept of surgical nutrition, whole-course nutrition management, advocates multi-disciplinary and multi-modal intervention to improve the clinical outcome of patients and to promote postoperative rehabilitation.Here whole-course nutritional management is summarized to provide theoretical basis for effectively promoting postoperative rehabilitation of elderly patients.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate nutritional status and to analyse risk factors of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the elderly.Methods:Data of elderly hospitalized patients with COPD mainly from 5 grade A, class 3 hospitals (Beijing Hospital, Shanghai Huadong Hospital, Tianjin Nankai hospital, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Zhejiang University, Guangzhou First People′s Hospital) from January 2012 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease criteria (GOLD), elderly COPD patients were divided into acute exacerbation group and stable group. The differences in age, gender, medical history, anthropometry, laboratory examination, nutritional support, results of nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS2002) and global leadership initiative on malnutrition (GLIM) were compared between the two groups after admission, and the risk factors of acute exacerbation of COPD in the elderly were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Results:A total of 339 elderly patients with COPD aged 65-100 years were included in this study, including 177 cases (52.21%) in acute exacerbation stage. The detection rate of malnutrition in acute exacerbation stage was higher than that in stable stage (51.98% vs 41.98%, P<0.05). The weight, body mass index and grip strength of patients in the acute exacerbation stage were significantly lower than those in the stable period [(55.47±8.42) vs (60.63±9.30) kg, (20.52±4.25) vs (22.39±4.57) kg/m 2, (12.32±4.21) vs (16.59±2.97) kg] (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that the acute exacerbation of elderly patients with COPD was positively correlated with malnutrition ( r=0.443, P<0.001), and negatively correlated with body weight, body mass index and calf circumference ( r=-0.200, -0.214, -0.135, all P<0.05). Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that acute exacerbation in elderly patients with COPD was only related to malnutrition ( OR=7.799, 95% CI: 4.466-13.622, P<0.001). Conclusions:The incidence of malnutrition in acute exacerbation stage of elderly COPD patients is high. Malnutrition is independently related to acute exacerbation of COPD.
RESUMO
Objective:To use the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition(GLIM)criteria to assess the incidence of malnutrition in hospitalized elderly stroke patients, and to investigate the correlation between the criteria and clinical outcomes.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2012 to August 2021 to evaluate malnutrition in 658 elderly stroke inpatients aged 65-92 years, the GLIM criteria were used, and the correlation between the criteria and clinical outcomes was explored.Results:Of the 658 patients, men showed higher values in height, weight, Bady mass index, upper arm circumference, calf circumference and creatinine(all P<0.05), but lower total cholesterol( P<0.05). The incidence of malnutrition diagnosed with the GLIM criteria was 9.12%(60 cases). Based on the GLIM criteria, those with malnutrition had lower weight, Bady mass index, upper arm circumference, calf circumference, albumin and total cholesterol(all P<0.05), while age, duration of hospitalization, infectious complications and mortality was higher than those without malnutrition( P<0.05). Using the mini nutritional assessment-short form(MNA-SF), 14.74%(97 cases)of the patients had malnutrition.Results from the GLIM criteria and the MNA-SF were moderately consistent(sensitivity: 59.4%, specificity: 100.0%, positive predictive value: 100.0%, negative predictive value: 93.1%, Kappa=0.712). Malnutrition diagnosed with the GLIM criteria was associated with a longer duration of hospitalization( OR=1.022, 95% CI: 1.005-1.039, P<0.01), increased infectious complications( OR=16.614, 95% CI: 8.130-33.952, P<0.01), and increased risk of death( OR=2.810, 95% CI: 1.393-3.548, P<0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of malnutrition in hospitalized elderly stroke patients based on the GLIM criteria is lower than that based on the MNA-SF, and malnutrition is associated with adverse clinical outcomes.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the correlation between phase angle and muscle mass reduction in elderly diabetic patients.Methods:This paper retrospectively collected and analyzed the data of human composition and laboratory index in elderly patients with diabetes(n=106)and non-diabetic(n=153)patients in the Nutrition Department of Beijing Hospital, compared the differences between two groups, and explored the correlation between phase angle and muscle mass reduction in elderly diabetic patients.Phase angle was detected by bioelectrical impedance which was calculated as reactance/resistance× 180/π.Results:Phase angle was lower in elderly diabetic patients(5.17±0.65)°than in non-diabetic elderly patients(5.37±0.76)°( t=-2.075. P<0.05); age and fasting blood glucose were higher in elderly diabetic patients than in non-diabetic elderly patients(all P<0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups in body mass index, fat, body fat percentage, visceral fat area, skeletal muscle index, body cell mass, total protein, albumin, and hemoglobin(all P>0.05).Correlation analysis results showed that in elderly diabetic patients, the phase angle was negatively correlated with body mass index( r=0.288, P<0.01), age( r=-0.680, P<0.01), was positively correlated with skeletal muscle( r=0.477, P<0.01), skeletal muscle index( r=0.505, P<0.01)and hemoglobin( r=0.382, P<0.01); and in the elderly non-diabetic group, phase angle was negatively correlated with age( r=-0.666, P<0.01)and positively correlated with body mass index( r=0.296, P<0.01), skeletal muscle( r=0.504, P<0.01), fat free mass( r=0.161, P<0.05), skeletal muscle index( r=0.441, P<0.01), body cell volume( r=0.496, P<0.01), and hemoglobin( r=0.420, P<0.01).The bioelectrical impedance apectroscopy detected skeletal muscle mass index<7.0 kg/m 2 for male and<5.7 kg/m 2 for female were used as the diagnosis standard for reduced muscle mass.The detection rate of muscle mass reduction was higher in elderly diabetic patients(17 cases, 16.04%)than in elderly non-diabetic patients(12 cases, 7.84%, χ2=4.229, P<0.05).The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the decrease of muscle mass in elderly diabetic patients was related to low phase angle( OR=0.413, 95% CI: 0.280-0.973, P<0.05)and aging( OR=2.174, 95% CI: 1.574-3.003, P<0.01). Conclusions:The phase angle is lower in diabetic elderly patients than in non-diabetic elderly patients, and the incidence of muscle mass reduction is higher in diabetic elderly patients than in non-diabetic elderly people.Decreased phase angle and increased age are related to the decrease of muscle mass in elderly diabetic patients.
RESUMO
Objective:To analyze influencing factors for sarcopenia in people of advanced age, in order to provide insight and evidence for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia in people belonging to this age group.Methods:Data from 167 people of advanced age seeking care at our department from December 2014 to July 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia, subjects were divided into the sarcopenia group( n=46, 27.5%)and the non-sarcopenia group( n=121). Differences in body composition, energy intake, quantities and proportions of three major nutrients were analyzed between males and females.Related influencing factors for sarcopenia were analyzed by using multiple linear regression. Results:Compared with the non-sarcopenia group, the sarcopenia group had lower body mass index, waist-hip ratio, fat mass, total energy intake and protein( P<0.05)but higher age and fat intake( P<0.05). Values for grip strength, muscle mass, index of skeletal muscle, adjusted muscle mass by body mass index, total energy intake, carbohydrates, fat and protein were lower and the percentage of body fat was higher in females than in males( P<0.05). Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that insufficient intake of protein( β=-0.290, OR=0.748, 95% CI: 0.569-0.984, P<0.05), reduction of body fat mass( β=-2.673, OR=0.069, 95% CI: 0.010-0.488, P<0.05)and excessive visceral fat accumulation( β=0.739, OR=2.094, 95% CI: 1.219-3.597, P<0.01)were correlated with sarcopenia in people of advanced age. Conclusions:The occurrence of sarcopenia is higher in people of advanced age and is related to insufficient intake of protein, reduction of body fat mass and excessive visceral fat accumulation.Individualized nutrition evaluation and support should be carried out as early as possible for people in this age group.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the muscular quality and its related influencing factors in elderly with sarcopenic obesity.Methods:The internalized 696 elderly subjects meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria were divided into four groups including the sarcopenic obesity(n=55), sarcopenia(n=8), simple obesity(n=481)and normal control(n=152)groups.The intergroup difference was retrospectively analyzed in the parameters of body composition, dietary intake of total energy and three major nutrients and their proportions.Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors related to the occurrence of sarcopenic obesity in the elderly.Results:The sarcopenic obesity group versus normal control group showed a higher level or value in age, body mass index, waist-hip ratio, fat mass, percentage of body fat, visceral fat area, fasting blood glucose, estimated glomerular filtration rate( P<0.01 or 0.05), and showed a lower level or value in grip strength, skeletal muscle, skeletal muscle index, muscle quality(grip strength/limb skeletal muscle), intake of energy, carbohydrate, fat and protein, body weight-adjusted intake of energy and protein, as well as ideal body weight-adjusted intake of energy and protein( P<0.01). The detection rate of sarcopenic obesity was 7.90%(n=55), including 7.60% in males(n=48)and 11.48% in females(n=7 cases). The detection rate of sarcopenic obesity was increased along with increasing age with 0.07%(2/287)in 60-69 years old group, 4.94%(12/243)in 70-79 years old group, and 24.70%(41/166)in ≥80 years old group( χ2=87.76, P<0.01). Taking the median point of grip strength/limb skeletal muscle volume as the cutoff point, the decrease rate of muscle quality was 12.36%(86/696)in total elderly subjects, 2.63%(4/152)in the control group, 11.64%(86/635)in the obesity group, 37.5%(3/8)in the sarcopenia group and 41.82%(23/55)in the sarcopenic obesity group, with an increasing trend of the decrease of muscle quality, which had significant differences( χ2=62.25, P<0.01). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that aging, excessive visceral fat area, insufficient protein intake and decreased basal metabolism were the independent risk factors for sarcopenic obesity in elderly people( P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of decrease of muscle quality is higher in the elderly with sarcopenic obesity than other elderly groups.Sarcopenic obesity is correlated with aging, insufficient intake of protein, decreased basal metabolism and excessive visceral fat accumulation.Individual evaluation and support is necessary in elderly people with sarcopenic obesity.
RESUMO
Objective:To analyze the prevalence of malnutrition in stable-phase elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria.Methods:Using cross-sectional survey, 60 elderly patients with COPD in stable phase were investigated, with 72 elderly patients without COPD in the same age group selected as controls. Differences in basic characteristics, anthropometric indicators, hematology indicators and body composition were compared between the two groups. According to the GLIM diagnostic criteria for malnutrition, the first step is nutritional risk screening, the second step is to diagnose malnutrition, and the third step is to determine severe malnutrition. The prevalence of malnutrition and severe malnutrition were investigated.Results:The levels of total protein, albumin, creatinine, and lymphocyte percentage in the elderly stable COPD group were significantly lower than those in the control group. The nutritional risk and the prevalence of malnutrition in elderly COPD patients were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the prevalence of severe malnutrition was higher .Conclusions:Elderly stable COPD patients of different age groups have a higher nutritional risk. The onset age of malnutrition is younger than that of non-COPD patients and early intervention is required.
RESUMO
Objective@#To explore the effect of the modified suture suspension by annular ligaturing the frontalis muscle to treat severe congenital blepharoptosis in children (age≤3).@*Methods@#From October 2016 to October 2017, 11 patients (16 eyes) with severe blepharoptosis were treated using the modified suture suspension in the Affiliated Hospital of Weifang Medical University. There were 7 males and 4 females, aged from 1 to 3 years old, with the average of 26.3 months. Three suture lines were used in three directions respectively. One end was fixed to the upper edge of the tarsus, the other end was fixed to the frontalis muscle by annular ligation. The operation effect and complications were evaluated 1 week and 6 months after the operation.@*Results@#All the incisions healed well. Hypophasis was observed in 1 eye. The exposed palpebral fissure was less than 3 mm when the eye was closed. No corneal exposure was observed in other cases. One week after surgery, the blepharoptosis of 5 patients were fully corrected (6 eyes, 37.5 %). Blepharoptosis in 5 patients were basically corrected (9 eyes, 56.2 %). One patients was over corrected (1 eyes, 6.3%). Six months after surgery, the blepharoptosis of 5 patients were fully corrected (5 eyes, 31.2 %). Blepharoptosis in 5 patients were basically corrected (9 eyes, 56.3%). However, the blepharoptosis of 1 patient was under corrected (2 eyes, 12.5%).@*Conclusions@#This modified suture suspension by annular ligature the frontalis muscle has the advantages of simple operation, low cost, stable effect, small wound, and satisfactory clinical effect.
RESUMO
Objective@#To analyze factors affecting stability after fixed orthodontic treatment.@*Methods@#Five hundred and forty-four patients who had finished fixed orthodontic treatment more than two years in First Department of Orthodontics, China Medical University from January, 2000 to December, 2017 were investigated and the rate of regular revisit was counted. The data of 288 patients were successfully collected by calling or sending text messages and the rate of standard use of retainers as prescribed (patients wore retainers for 24 months or longer) was counted. According to the variation of peer assessment rating (PAR) index at the start of retention and the time the data collected, the patients were divided into relapse group (variation of PAR index >5) and non-relapse group (variation of PAR index ≤5). Difference significance analysis and multiple-factor logistic regression analysis were used. Sixty patients wearing retainers well were collected and the curative effects of Hawley retainer and vacuum formed retainer (VFR) were compared, which included overbite, overjet, maxillary irregularity index, mandibular irregularity index, width betwenn canine and width between first molar.@*Results@#The rate of regular revisit was 41.0% (223/544). Two hundred and one of 288 patients (69.8%) who were visited successfully had regular revisit, and 60.4%(174/288) of the patients wore retainers well; 30.2% (87/288) of the patients who were visited successfully didn't have regular revisit, and 10.4% (30/288) of the patients wore retainers well. Difference significance analysis showed that there was highly significant difference between relapse group and non-relapse group in the type of retainer and duration of retention (P<0.01). One hundred and forty of 224 patients (62.5%) in non-relapse group and 37.5% (24/64) of the patients in relapse group used VFR, and the duration of retention in non-relapse group was significantly longer than that in relapse group (P<0.01). Multiple-factor Logistic regression analysis showed that wearing Hawley retainers (OR=3.067, P<0.05) was the risk factor influencing relapse. The duration of retention (OR=0.832, P<0.01) was the protective factor influencing relapse. Independent-sample t test indicated that the variations of maxillary [(0.82±0.36) mm] and mandibular [(1.05±0.22) mm] irregularity index in Hawley retainer group were larger than maxillary [(0.64±0.29) mm] and mandibular [(0.72±0.35) mm)] irregularity index in VFR group, respectively. The differences between the two groups were significant (P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#Duration of retention was implicated in stability after orthodontic treatment. VFR had better effect in the aspects of irregularity index than Hawley retainer.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the utility of different body composition for the prediction of myocardial ischemia in exercise in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Methods T2DM outpatients were selected from Jul. 2013 to Nov. 2014 (male 83, female 57) to measure body composition and clinical biochemical parameters, and divided them into two groups according to treadmill exercise testing results. Group A cases were positive (27 patients) and Group B cases were negative (113 patients). SPSS19.0 was used to make statistical analysis. Results (1) The age, gender, diabetes mellitus (DM) duration, medical history of hypertension and dyslipidemia, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, the waist-hip fat ratio of the two groups had no significant difference (P>0.05). (2) The fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) between the two groups had no significant difference. Compared with group B, the low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) of group A [(2.48 ± 0.75) mmol/L vs. (2.81 ± 0.77) mmol/L, t=2.009, P<0.05] decreased significantly. (3) Overall body fat percentage, skeletal muscle weight of the two groups had no significant difference. Compared with group B, the waist-hip fat ratio (0.93±0.06 vs. 0.88±0.08, t=-2.790, P<0.01) andvisceral fat area [(99.47 ± 32.84) cm2 vs. (81.10 ± 25.47) cm2, t=-2.822, P<0.01] of group A increased significantly, while this difference mainly existed in male patients visceral fat area [(100.99±39.33) cm2 vs. (79.91 ± 27.09) cm2, t=-2.231, P<0.05], and waist-hip fat ratio was different in female patients of the two groups (0.91±0.06 vs. 0.85±0.09, t=-2.043, P<0.05) . Conclusion Abdominal obesity, especially visceral fat accumulation had close correlation with myocardial ischemia in exercise in T2DM patients. Waist-hip fat ratio and visceral fat area may be more effective indicators of myocardial ischemia in exercise in T 2DM patients than BMI.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Nasolabial fold flap has been widely used in clinical surgery. The facial artery anatomy has been widely used in clinical research. Angular artery dissection is becoming more and more important to nasolabial groove area surgery, but at present, there is a lack of anatomical analysis of internal angular artery. OBJECTIVE:To study the anatomy of the angular artery, and to provide anatomical data for protecting the nasolabial flap during surgery. METHODS:Twenty sides of adult cadaver specimens on head and face were dissected. A reference coordinate system was made based on the line between the connection of two medial angles of eyes (axis X) and the facial midline line (axis Y). The location of the angular artery was measured taking A-F as reference points. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The slant angles of the angular artery on BC section, CD section, DE section and EF section were (11.1±4.3)°, (34.1±8.8)°, (21.5±10.5)°, and (17.0±4.7)°, respectively. (2) The angular artery sourced from facial artery was more than it sourced from ophthalmic artery. The diameter of right blood vessel was larger than that of left side. (3) The angular artery sourced from ophthalmic artery comes from the location which extended 8.1 mm to both sides from the point which was 10 mm up from the intersection of facial medial angle of eyes connection and midline. The blood vessel diameter of the starting point was (0.7±0.2) mm. The whole range was 20.1 mm. (4) The angular artery sourced from facial artery comes from the location which extended 25.8 mm to both sides from the point which was 40 mm down to the intersection of facial medial angle of eyes connection and midline. The blood vessel diameter of the starting point was (0.9±0.3) mm. Point to the wing of nose the lateral distance was (5.0±1.2) mm. The whole range was 68.7 mm. The surface projecting of angular artery coming from research results provided anatomic basis for surgery of nasolabial flap.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the relationship between lipids profile and body composition in the young and middle?aged adults. Method The relationship between body composition and lipids profile was examined in 642 adults (21-60 years, 178 male, 464 female). According to the result of body composition assessment, they were assigned to three groups: Normal (N, n=272), Obesity (O, n=245), Sarcopenic Obesity (SO, n=125). The lipids profile among three groups and its related factors were analyzed. Results In groups N, O and SO, the levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein?cholesterol (LDL?C) increased gradually (P<0.01), and the high density lipoprotein?cholesterol (HDL?C) level decreased gradually (P<0.01). In a multiple logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio for high levels of TC, TG, LDL?C and low level of HDL?C risk increased gradually in groups N, O and SO [compared to group N, the odds ratio of the four kinds of dyslipidemia in group O were 2.617 (1.117-6.132), 3.549 (1.481-8.503), 4.618 (1.288-16.564), 1.222 (0.529-2.822), respectively, and in group SO were 5.915 (2.512-13.926), 10.430 (4.400-24.722), 9.522 (2.637-34.388) , 4.253 (1.957-9.242) , respectively]. After adjusting for age, sex, waist?to?hip ratio and visceral fat area, the odds ratio for high level of TG risk still increased gradually in group N, O and SO [compared to group N, the odds ratio of group O was 3.565 (1.319-9.632), and of group SO was 8.173 (2.685-24.881)]. Moreover, the odds ratio for high TC and low HDL?C levels of group SO were higher than those of group N [compared to group N, the odds ratio in group SO were 5.658 (1.871-17.111), 6.823 (2.119-21.969) respectively]. With stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis, for male, the related factors for high levels of TC, TG and low level of HDL?C were high percentage of body fat;sarcopenia, sarcopenia obesity;sarcopenia, respectively. For female, the related factors for high levels of TC, TG and LDL?C were sarcopenia, aging;high percrntage of body fat, aging;sarcopenia, aging, respectively. Conclusion SO was the main risk factor for dyslipidemia in young and middle?aged adults, even more severe than obesity alone and sarcopenia was the risk factor of high TG, low HDL?C levels for male;and the risk factor of high TC, high LDL?C levels for female.
RESUMO
@#ObjectiveTo explore the effects of high fat diet and caloric restriction on brain aging as well as the activity of Acetylcholinesterase(AChE) and afford scientific evidence to rational diet and prevent brain aging.MethodsSixty male ICR mice were randomly divided into 6 groups: the D-galactose-induced brain aging, brain aging plus high fat diet, brain aging plus caloric restriction, high fat diet only, caloric restriction only and normal control groups. Mice were given 100 mg/kg·d subcutaneous injection of D-galactose to prepare brain aging model for 9 weeks. Morris water maze (MWM) test was employed to determine their spatial learning and memory ability. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in brain was determined by hydroxylaminecolorimetric assay.ResultsIn Morris water maze test, brain aging mice showed a significant longer escape latency than the normal control mice (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in escape latency between brain aging mice plus high fat diet and brain aging mice groups (P>0.05), and between the control and high fat diet groups (P>0.05). Brain aging mice plus caloric restriction exhibited a significant shorter escape latency than brain aging mice (P<0.05), but no difference was found when compared with normal control mice (P>0.05). There were no statistical difference in escape latency between the controls and caloric restriction group (P>0.05). The AChE activity in brain aging, brain aging plus high fat diet and brain aging plus caloric restriction group were higher than those in control and caloric restriction group (P<0.05). There were no statistical difference in AChE activity between the controls and caloric restriction group (P>0.05). Brain aging plus high fat diet were higher than brain aging and other non model control groups.ConclusionHigh fat diet can raise the activity of AChE effectively, but can not influence the capacity of learning and memory in mice. Caloric restriction can improve the capacity of learning and memory in mice, but has no significant influence on the activity of AChE in brain.
