ABSTRACT
Objective To study the prevalence rate of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)and its correlation with the metabolic syndrome among professional crowd in Yichang city ,and analyze the characteristic of prevalence of NAFLD .Methods Physical check‐up and liver ultrasonography were done and fasting blood GLU ,TG ,HDL‐C ,UA ,CRP were measured for sampling survey professional people in Yichang city .We sampled 6 450 people in 15 company ,including 3 284 men ,3 166 women(20 to 70 years old) ,the results were analyzed .Results The NAFLD prevalence rate of Yichang professional crowd was 21 .71% ,28 .68% in male and 14 .47% in female respectively(P<0 .01) .The prevalence rate in male was higher than that of female before 60 years old . NAFLD prevalence rate in women showed a trend of increasing along with the age growth ,the incidence rate come up to 31 .31%when women were over 60 years old .The highest prevalence rate of MS related components in NAFLD group were obesity (69 .98% )、high blood TG level(61 .10% ) .Conclusion Male before 60 years old and female over 60 years old of Yichang profes‐sional crowd belong to NAFLD high‐risk groups ,the group should be focused on as regular monitoring ,prevention and interven‐tion .NAFLD prevalence rate significantly increased in people with MS .The most important factors of suffering from NAFLD are o‐besity ,high blood TG level .
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the role of Sijunzi decoction on the gut barrier protection and immunity regulation in spleen-qi deficiency type patients with persistent inflammation-immunosuppression catabolism syndrome (PICS).Methods A prospective study was conducted, and according to random number table, 46 patients with PICS accompanied by spleen-qi deficiency admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of Beijing Shijitan Hospital of Capital Medical University were randomly divided into two groups: control group and Sijunzi decoction group(each 23 cases). Conventional therapy was given to both groups, and the patients in Sijunzi decoction group were additionally treated with modified Sijunzi decoction 100 mL by nasal feeding, while those in the control group were treated with an equal amount of warm boiled water by nasal feeding. The course of treatment was 2 weeks in both groups. The improvement in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndrome and gastrointestinal function was observed in two groups before and after treatment. At the same time, the changes of lymphocyte subsets including total T cells(CD3+ cells),helper/inducer T cells(CD3+/CD4+T cells), suppressor/cytotoxic T cells(CD3+/CD8+ T cells), CD4/CD8, total natural killer cells(NK cell,CD3-/CD16+CD56+ cells),natural killer like T cells(NK T cell,CD3+/CD16+CD56+ T cells),total B cells(CD19+ cells),regulatory T cells(Treg T cells, CD4+/CD25+ T cells),suppressor T cells(CD8+/CD28- T cells) and cytotoxic T cells(CD8+/CD28+ T cells)were analyzed.Results① There were no differences in the acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ)score,acute gastrointestinal injury(AGI)grades and peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets between Sijunzi decoction group and control group before treatment( allP>0.05).② After 2 weeks of treatment, all the patients' clinical symptoms of spleen-qi deficiencywere improved, and there was no difference in effect between the Sijunzi decoction and control group(valid:11 cases vs. 6 cases, invalid:12 cases vs.17 cases, bothP>0.05) . In both groups, the patients' AGI condition was improved, but the improvement in treatment group was more significant than that in the control group(valid: 14 cases vs. 7 cases, P<0.05) .③ In the control group,the numbers of CD3+, CD3+/CD8+,CD8+/CD28- T cells after treatment were increased significantly〔CD3+:(62.37±7.83)% vs.(54.08±11.65)%, CD3+/CD8+:(31.52±10.55)% vs. (23.94±9.22)%, CD8+/CD28-:(24.97±10.25)% vs.(16.78±10.55)%〕 and CD19+ number was decreased obviously〔(5.78±5.33)% vs.(9.73±8.02)%〕 at the same time(allP<0.05). After treatment, in the Sijunzi decoction group, the numbers of CD3+,CD3+/CD4+, CD3+/CD8+, CD8+/CD28-, CD8+/CD28+ T cells were increased significantly compared with those before treatment〔CD3+:(74.53±7.64)% vs.(52.98±10.05)%, CD3+/CD4+:(36.27±12.08)% vs.(30.00±8.60)%, CD3+/CD8+:(37.33±12.56)% vs.(22.88±9.97)%, CD8+/CD28-:(26.89±10.80)% vs.(17.01±9.48)%, CD8+/CD28+:(12.08±5.50)% vs.(8.47±4.29)%〕, and total CD19+ number was decreased remarkably at the same time〔(4.60±4.28)% vs.(9.86±8.61)%,P<0.05〕. In the Sijunzi decoction group, after 2 weeks of treatment, the number of CD3+ T cells was increased more significantly than that in the control group〔(8.29±9.28)% vs.(5.80±5.33)%,P<0.05〕.ConclusionUsing Sijunzi decoction combined with conventional therapy can improve the clinical symptoms of patients with PICS accompanied by spleen-qi deficiency and gastrointestinal dysfunction, the mechanism is possibly via enhancing immunity by regulating the numbers of B and T lymphocytes, and maybe the cell-mediated immunity plays a more prominent role.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression of endostatin and angiopoietin (Ang)-2 in human ghoma and its significance. Methods The expression of endostatin and Ang-2 were measured by immunohistochemistry and endostatin mBNA by hybridization in situ in 108 cases of brain glioma and 5 cases of normal brain tissues. Results The expression of endostatin (0.0657±0.0038)and Ang-2 (0.0286± 0.0042) were significantly higher in grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ glioma patients than those in grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ ghoma patients (0.0349±0.0048,0.0084±0.0018, respectively) and normal brain tissues (0,0)(P<0.01). The expression of endostatin mRNA were significantly higher in grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ glioma patients (0.0310±0.0041) than that in grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ glioma patients (0.0152±0.0031) and normal brain tissues (0)(P< 0.01 ). Theratio of endo-stalin to Ang-2 was negatively rehted to the grade of glioma (r=-0.810,P <0.01). Conclusion The interaction of endostatin and Ang-2 plays an important role in the invasive growth and malignant development of human glioma, and may be related to the prognosis and the malignant degree of glioma.
