ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe and compare the intervention effect of modified Cangfu Daotantang on glucose and lipid metabolism in simple obese children with phlegm dampness and stagnation. MethodA total of 60 children with simple obesity were randomly divided into two groups according to the simple randomization method of the random number table. The odd number was included in the test group， and the even number was included in the basic treatment group， with 30 cases in each group. On the basis of signing the informed consent notice， the treatment group was given modified Cangfu Daotantang combined with basic treatment， while the control group was only given basic treatment. After three months of treatment， the body mass index （BMI）， glucose and lipid metabolism level ［total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， fasting plasma glucose （FPG）， fasting insulin （FINS）， and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance （HOMA-IR）］， the change in the total score of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndromes， and the effective rate of treatment were observed and compared. ResultAfter treatment， the BMI of the observation group and the control group decreased significantly （P<0.01）. Compared with the control group， the BMI level in the observation group decreased significantly （P<0.05）. After treatment， the levels of TC， TG， and LDL-C in the observation group and the control group decreased significantly （P<0.01）. Compared with the control group， the levels of TC， TG， and LDL-C in the observation group decreased significantly （P<0.05）. In addition， the level of TC in the observation group improved significantly compared with that in the control group （P<0.01）. The levels of FPG， FINS， and HOMA-IR in the observation group and the control group were significantly lower than those before treatment （P<0.05）. After treatment， compared with the control group， the levels of FPG， FINS， and HOMA-IR in the observation group were significantly reduced （P<0.05）. The level of FPG in the observation group was significantly improved compared with that in the control group （P<0.01）. After treatment， the total score of TCM syndromes in the two groups decreased significantly （P<0.01）. Compared with the control group， the total score of TCM syndromes in the observation group was lower （P<0.01）. After treatment， the total effective rate of treatment was 86.67% （26/30） in the observation group and 73.33% （22/30） in the control group. By rank sum test， the total effective rate of the observation group was better than that of the control group （Z=-2.100， P<0.05）. ConclusionModified Cangfu Daotantang combined with basic treatment can effectively reduce the BMI of obese children and improve their glucose and lipid metabolism. It has good clinical effects and high clinical application value， which is worth further in-depth research and promotion.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this work is to discover the inhibitory mechanism of tea peptides and to analyse the affinities between the peptides and the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) as well as the stability of the complexes using in vitro and in silico methods. Four peptide sequences identified from tea, namely peptides I, II, III, and IV, were used to examine ACE inhibition and kinetics. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the correlation of high-risk type HPV infection with mycoplasma,chlamydia infection in sterile female patients.Methods The cervical specimens from 524 sterile female patients in northwest area were performed the laboratory detection of high-risk type HPV,mycoplasma and chlamydia.The correlation among these 3 kinds of pathogen was analyzed.Results In 524 sterile female patients,the sequence of the infection rate of 3 kinds of pathogen from high to low was mycoplasma,high-risk type HPV and chlamydia.The positive rate of high-risk type HPV in the patients with simple mycoplasma positive,simple chlamydia positive and double positive of mycoplasma and chlamydia was significantly higher than that in the patients with myco-plasma and chlamydia negative,the difference had statistical significance(P <0.05).Conclusion Certain correlation exists between the high-risk type HPV infection with mycoplasma and the chlamydia infection in sterile female patients.So it is suggested that in the pathogenic microbiological detection,such patients in clinic need to simultaneously perform the high-risk type HPV detection in addition to completing the laboratory detection of mycoplasma and chlamydia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish the improved MPN quantitative detection method of Salmonella in treated wastewater.Methods The filtration method and improved MPN method were adopted to quantitatively detect Salmonella in treated wastewater.In the filtration method,separation effect of Salmonella was investigated by using three selective agar which including XLD,HE and BS,respectively.It was established that the improved MPN method in which PCR was used instead of the biochemical tests and serological identification to identify Salmonella.In the improved MPN method,the enrichment effect was researched by using SC,MM and TTB enriched broth in different time and temperature.Results In the filtration method,the Salmonella could not be counted accurately by the three kinds of selective agar.In the improved MPN method the optimized enrichment effect was determined as using MM enriched broth at 42℃ for 24 hours.Conclusion The improved MPN method is accurate,sensitive,quick and applicable to the quantitative detection of Salmonella in treated wastewater.
ABSTRACT
Objective To carry out the risk assessment on health effects of viruses in reused wastewater in city.Methods During May-November in2002,the concentration of total coliform and fecal coliform in water sample s collected from waste water after secondary treatment of wastewater treatment plant and reused waste water treated by conventional wastewater-reuse technical process in Xian Baishiqiao Wastewater Treatmen t Center were determined,and the hypothesis testing on the normal distribution of monitoring data was carried out.Meanwhile the removal efficacy of coliform in wastewater with chlorine disinfection was ob-served.The beta-Possion model,the model for evaluating the infection probability of pathogenic microorganism in drinking water,and Monte Carlo simulated method were used for the risk assessment on health effects of viruses in reused wastewater in city.Re sults The monitoring data on concentrations of fecal coliform in water samples collected from secondarily treated wastewater and reused wastewater showed log-normal distribution.The removal efficacies of coliform from wastewater were4log at condi-tions of7mg /L chlorine and20-minute contact time,and5log at conditions of15mg /L chlorine and20-minutes-contact time.The means of annual risk value of health effects of viruses in reused wastewater were1.21?10 -6 for the reuse of wastewater in greening and4.31?10 -8 for the reuse in irrigation of farmland respectively,the highest risk values for these two reuse methods were all below10 -4 ,the acceptable annual risk value for drinking water ruled by Surface Water Treatment Rules published by USEPA.The probability of annual risk value
