ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the status and influencing factors of physical activity, sedentary behavior in middle-aged and elderly patients with stable coronary heart disease, and to provide reference for clinical medical staff to formulate targeted intervention measures.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey. From March to June 2022, a convenience sampling was used to select 378 middle-aged and elderly patients with stable coronary heart disease in the ward and clinic of Department of Cardiology, Jinshan Hospital, Fudan University. The general information questionnaire, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the Adult Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart, the Self-efficacy for Chronic Disease Scale and the Social Support Rating Scale were used for investigation.Results:The total metabolic equivalent of physical activity and sedentary time in middle-aged and elderly patients with stable coronary heart disease were 31.40 (21.73, 49.67) MET-h/w and 8(7, 9) h/d respectively. The 39.7% (150/378) patients reached physical activity guidelines recommendations and 61.4% (232/378) patients had a sedentary time ≥ 8 h/d. The 19.0% (72/378) patients were identified as physically active/low sedentary group, 20.6% (78/378) patients were identified as physically active/high sedentary group, 19.6% (74/378) patients were in physically inactive/low sedentary group and 40.7% (154/378) patients were in physically inactive/high sedentary group. The stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that sedentary behavior, working status, kinesiophobia, objective support and disease duration had significant impacts on physical activity ( t values were -9.81-2.67, all P<0.05). The influencing factors of sedentary behavior were physical activity, objective support, support utilization, gender, educational level and kinesiophobia ( t values were -10.77-4.63, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The status of physical activity, sedentary behavior in middle-aged and elderly patients with stable coronary heart disease is not good. Medical staff should intervene corresponding influencing factors to reduce the risk of physical inactivity and high sedentary behavior in this group.

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the changes and significance of the protein expression levels of nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65), transforming long factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and apoptosis-related factors Bcl-2 and Bax in myocardial tissue of Bama miniature pig model of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Methods Ten healthy male Guangxi Bama miniature pigs, aged 4 to 5 months old, were selected and divided into control group and model group according to the random number table method, with 5 pigs in each group. After 12 hours of fasting in the two groups, the DCM model was replicated by intravenous injection of streptozotocin (STZ) 150 mg/kg; for the Bama miniature pigs in the control group, citric acid-sodium citrate buffer 150 mg/kg was injected intravenously. After 10 months of modeling, the basic conditions of the two groups of animals were observed and their fasting blood glucose (FPG) levels were detected. The protein expression levels of NF-κB p65, TGF-β1, Bcl-2 and Bax in myocardial tissue of two groups were detected by Western Blot and the pathological changes of myocardial tissue were observed under electron microscope. Results In the model group, 4 models were successfully established, and 1 died. The model pigs had symptoms such as polydipsia, polyphagia, polyuria and decreased body weight. The FPG level in the model group was significantly higher than that in the control group (mmol/L: 25.53±3.75 vs. 4.68±0.77, P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, the protein expression levels of NF-κB p65, Bax and TGF-β1 in the myocardial tissue of model group were significantly increased (NF-κB p65/GAPDH: 0.46±0.05 vs. 0.38±0.02, Bax/GAPDH: 0.46±0.01 vs. 0.35±0.01, TGF-β1/GAPDH: 0.39±0.01 vs. 0.33±0.01, all P < 0.05) and the expression level of Bcl-2 protein was significantly decreased (Bcl-2/GAPDH: 0.33±0.01 vs. 0.42±0.01, P < 0.01). Electron microscopy results showed that the myofibrils of myocardial tissue in the DCM model group were disordered, and the number of mitochondria in the gap was significantly reduced. A large number of mitochondria with vacuolar degeneration were observed. Conclusions The DCM model of Bama miniature pigs can be successfully replicated after 10 months of high-dose STZ disposable ear vein injection. The DCM model miniature pigs have obvious glucose metabolism disorder, and their myocardial tissue has inflammatory reaction, cardiomyocyte apoptosis and fibrosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective To construct a prediction model for the risk of ischemic stroke (IS) by classification tree model, and evaluate its application value. Methods By cluster sampling, 858 IS patients with perfect clinical data from January to December 2017 in the Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical College (IS group) were enrolled, and 844 health checkups matched with the gender and age of IS patients in the same period were enrolled as controls (healthy control group). The metabolic characteristics of the two groups were compared and analyzed. The classification tree model was used to construct the prediction model of the risk of IS, and the gain diagram, index chart, risk value of misclassification probability and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were used to evaluate the application value of the model. Results Compared with the healthy control group, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FPG), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in IS group were significantly increased [BMI (kg/m2): 25.34±3.70 vs. 24.24±3.10, FPG (mmol/L): 6.79±2.89 vs. 5.73±1.17, TG (mmol/L):1.62±1.06 vs. 1.44±1.06, TC (mmol/L): 4.70±2.73 vs. 4.35±0.79, LDL-C (mmol/L): 3.18±0.94 vs. 2.73±0.73, all P < 0.01], high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was significantly decreased (mmol/L: 1.12±0.33 vs. 1.35±0.36, P < 0.01), and the proportion of hypertension, smoking and drinking were significantly increased (69.0% vs. 41.9%, 23.1% vs. 16.8%, 19.2% vs. 13.4%, all P < 0.01). By assigning values to each factor [IS: No = 0,Yes = 1; BMI: < 24.0 kg/m2=0, ≥ 24.0 kg/m2= 1; FPG : < 7.0 mmol/L = 0, ≥7.0 mmol/L = 1; TG: < 2.26 mmol/L = 0, ≥2.26 mmol/L = 1; TC: <6.22 mmol/L = 0, ≥6.22 mmol/L = 1; LDL-C: < 4.14 mmol/L = 0, ≥4.14 mmol/L = 1; HDL-C: < 1.04 mmol/L = 0, ≥1.04 mmol/L = 1; hypertension: No = 0,Yes = 1; smoking: No = 0,Yes = 1; drinking: No = 0,Yes = 1], a classification tree model was established to analyze the risk factors of IS. The classification tree model consisted of 4 layers and 17 nodes: the first layer was hypertension, the second layer was FPG and HDL-C, the third layer was HDL-C and FPG, and the fourth layer was LDL-C and smoking. There were five explanatory variables screened out in the model, including hypertension, FPG, HDL-C, LDL-C and smoking. The first layer of the tree showed that the incidence of IS in hypertensive population (62.6%) was significantly higher than that in non-hypertensive population (35.2%). The second layer of the tree showed that the incidence of IS in people with hypertension with HDL-C≥1.04 mmol/L (53.6%) was lower than that in people with HDL-C < 1.04 mmol/L (78.5%). However, in the population without hypertension, the probability of IS occurrence in the population with FPG ≥ 7.0 mmol/L (71.1%) was significantly higher than that in the population with FPG < 7.0 mmol/L (28.3%). The third layer of the tree showed that the IS incidence of HDL-C ≥1.04 mmol/L (21.8%) was lower than that of HDL-C < 1.04 mmol/L (48.7%) in the population without hypertension and FPG < 7.0 mmol/L. However, in the population with hypertension and HDL-C ≥ 1.04 mmol/L, the probability of IS occurrence in the population with FPG ≥ 7.0 mmol/L (78.6%) was significantly higher than that in the population with FPG < 7.0 mmol/L (46.7%). The fourth layer of the tree showed that the IS incidence of people with LDL-C ≥4.14 mmol/L (53.8%) was higher than that of people with LDL-C < 4.14 mmol/L (19.0%) in the population without hypertension, FPG < 7.0 mmol/L and HDL-C ≥ 1.04 mmol/L. In the population without hypertension, the incidence of IS in smokers (76.9%) was higher than that in non-smokers (39.1%) of people with FPG < 7.0 mmol/L and HDL-C <1.04 mmol/L. In the population with hypertension, the probability of IS occurrence in the population with LDL-C ≥4.14 mmol/L (72.5%) was higher than that in the population with LDL-C < 4.14 mmol/L (44.4 %) of people with HDL-C ≥ 1.04 mmol/L and FPG < 7.0 mmol/L. The gain diagram of IS classification tree model shown that the gain value increased rapidly from 0% to 100% and then tended to be stable. The index chart shown that the index value kept stable in the moving direction from above 100% and then dropped rapidly to 100%, indicating the model was very well. The risk value of misclassification probability of the classification tree model was 0.291, and the correct rate of risk factor for IS patients was 70.90%. The area under ROC curve (AUC) was 78.0% [95% confidence interval (95%CI) =75.9%-79.9%, P < 0.001], the sensitivity was 62.5% (95%CI = 59.1%-65.7%) and the specificity was 79.4% (95%CI =76.5%-82.1%). Conclusion Classification tree model can properly predict the risk factor of IS, and the most important risk factors are hypertension, hyperglycemia, high LDL-C and smoking.

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a dual real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (dual real-time PCR) assay to detect human vitamin D receptor (VDR) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Methods GAPDH gene was used as the internal control. The specific primers and TaqMan probes were designed by Primer Premier 5.0 software, which were applied to detect the VDR/GAPDH mRNA levels. The obtained PCR products were puri-fied to construct the VDR/GAPDH recombinant plasmid, which was taken as the standard to analyze the sensitivity and re-peatability of the method. Results The amplification products were confirmed as the specific fragment of VDR/GAPDH by DNA sequencing instrument. The results showed that the sensitivity, linear range, the determinate coefficient, the amplifica-tion efficiency, the intra-assay and inter-assay coefficient of variation were 40 copies/μL, 4.00 × 101-4.00 × 105 copies/μL, 0.998, 96.10%, 0.09%-1.21%, 0.17%-0.51%for VDR, and 40 copies/μL, 4.00 × 101-4.00 × 105 copies/μL, 0.999, 85.15%, 0.35%-0.88%, 0.51%-2.46% for GAPDH, respectively. Conclusion These results demonstrate that the dual real-time PCR assay with high sensitivity and specificity can detect the relative expressions of human VDR by single reaction tube, which can effectively shorten the time and reduce the experimental error.

ABSTRACT

Objective To develop a duplex fluorescence RT-PCR assay for detection of scavenger receptor class B, typeⅠ(SRBⅠ) knockout mice. Methods Primers and probes were designed according to knockout region of SRBⅠgene and related substituted sequence. DNA samples were extracted from tails of mice and performed amplification using real-time PCR. SRBⅠgenotypes of mice were analyzed according to amplification curves of FAM and CY5 channels. Finally, the sensitivity of the method was detected and the accuracy was verified by the direct sequencing. Results The homozygous SRBⅠwild genotype showed an amplification curve only in FAM channel. When the homozygous SRBⅠknockout genotype was present, the typical S amplification curve appeared only in the CY5 channel. Heterozygous genotype showed two typical S amplification curves in both FAM and CY5 channels, respectively. The results showed that the sensitivity reached 4×101 copies/μL, and there was complete concordance between this method and direct DNA sequencing. Conclusion The new method is simple, rapid and accurate, which is suitable for genotyping SRBⅠknockout mice.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study local people's habits and customs concerning the prevention of dental fluorosis in an indoor coal-combustion-type fluorosis area of Zhaotong city Yunnan province, and to provide reference value for monitoring and control of the disease. Methods In 2008, 600 people of a 12-year-old group (400 people) and a 35 - 44-year-old group(200 people) were examined for dental fluorosis and oral health status in an indoor coal-combustion-type fluorosis area of Zhaotong. A questionnaire survey of 120 students and 60 adults was carried out on their habits and customs, stove changing status, knowledge of prevention of dental fluorosis, social psychology status, oral health behavior and their need for medical treatment. Results The total prevalence of dental fluorosis was 91.0% (546/600), dental fluorosis index was 2.58. The total prevalence of dental fluorosis of 12-year-old group was 86.5%(346/400), and dental fluorosis index was 2.12. The total prevalence of dental fluorosis of rural student was 90.5% (181/200), which was obviously higher in the rural group than the urban group [82.5% (165/200), χ2 = 5.48, P < 0.05]. The total prevalence of dental fluorosis of 35-44-year-old group was 100% (200/200), which was obviously higher than that of the 12-year-old group(χ2 = 29.67, P < 0.01). The rates of using coal, baking of food, changing stoves were 66.7% (60/90), 14.4% (13/90),57.8% (52/90), respectively, and these values of the urban were much lower than those of the rural[95.6%(86/90) ,31.1%(28/90) ,76.7%(69/90),χ2 = 24.51,7.11,7.29, all P < 0.01]. Only 23.3% (42/180) of people surveied had the knowledge of prevention of dental fluorosis, and the rate in the adult group[56.7% (34/60)]was higher than that of the student group [6.7% (8/120), χ2 = 55.9, P < 0.01]. The same rate in the urban student group was 0(0/60), and the rural student group was 13.3%(8/60), there was a significant difference between them(χ2 = 5.66, P < 0.05). Seventy-three point nine per cent( 133/180) of these people thought dental fluorosis had significant effect on their life, 91.1%(164/180) of these 'people wished to be treated. Eighty-four point four per cent( 152/180) of the people had a habit of toothbrushing,and 50.7% (77/152) of these people were still using toothpaste containing fluorine. Conclusions Zhaotong is a serious indoor coal-combustion-type fluorosis area. Enhancing health education to local people especially to students, and changing people's unhealthy habits and customs are keies to control the prevalence of indoor coal-combustion-type dental fluorosis.
