ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate Helicobactor pylori (H. pylori) infection status and interfamilial transmission pattern in Zhengzhou area. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2020 to march 2021, among 731 individual from 266 families randomly selected from 9 communities of Zhengzhou area. H. pylori infection status was determined by serum antibody tests, and 13C-urea breath test was performed in the previously eradicated population to clarify the current infection status. The individual and familial infection rate, infection status for couples and children and adolescent were analyzed. Results:Among 731 individuals from 266 families, 397 of them were H. pylori positive. The individual infection rate was 54.31% (397/731); among infected individuals 77.83% (307/397) were infected with type Ⅰ strain, 22.67% (90/397) were infected by type Ⅱ strain. Annual household income ( χ2=0.419, 0.410, 0.213, all P>0.05), smoking history (χ 2=0.071, P>0.05), drinking history ( χ2=0.071, P>0.05), dining place ( χ2=0.009, P>0.05), gastrointestinal symptoms ( χ2=0.047, P>0.05), family history of gastric disease ( χ2=0.069, P>0.05), and history of gastric cancer ( χ2=0.004, P>0.05) had no significant differences between H. pylori-positive and -negative groups, but the infection rate in individuals with higher education level was lower ( χ2=4.449, P<0.05). The infection rate was significantly higher in≥18 age groups compared with<18 age groups ( χ2=6.531, 23.362, 20.671, 24.244, 37.948, 14.597 and 5.170, all P<0.05). The familial H. pylori infection rate was 87.59% (233/266), and in 61 families all member were infected (26.18%, 61/233). The positive rate was 23.08% (6/26) in 50 families with children under 18 years when both parents were infected. Among 231 coupled families, both couples were infected in 78 families (33.76%), one couple was infected in 113 families (48.92%), and both couples were not infected in 40 (17.32%). With the increase of marriage time, the infection rate of both spouses increased significantly ( χ2=7.775, 12.662, 15.487, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The distribution of H. pylori infection presents a family cluster pattern, and intrafamilial infection is an important transmission rout of H. pylori. The type I strain of H. pylori is the dominate strain in this area.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of Intestinal Function-recovering Decoction on the bacteria and endotoxin translocation and the content of malondialdehyde(MDA)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)in serum of rats with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS).Methods Fifty-seven SD rats were divided into four groups randomly:control group,MODS group,decoction group and ampicillin group.We detected the content of endotoxin in the peripheral vein,portal vein and ileum.Bacterial translocation,change of ileum mucous membrane in pathomorphology and the contents of MDA,SOD,ALT,AST,Cr and BUN in serum in each group were also examined.Results The hepatic and renal function and ileum mucous membranes were significantly damaged in MODS group,decoction group and ampicillin group.Compared with those in MODS group,serum MDA,ALT,AST,Cr,BUN and endotoxin in the peripheral vein,portal vein and ileum in decoction group were significantly lower(P0.01).It exhibited a negative correlation between serum MDA and SOD in MODS group and ampicillin group(P
ABSTRACT
The effects of synthetic oil used as dietary fat source on the body weight, organ weight, liver and serum lipids of rats during the hypercho-lesterolemic inducing period were investigated, and comparison was made with lard and soybean oil diets.Weanling albino rats were fed first with stock diet for 3 weeks. Bloods were collected from tails, and serum cholesterol contents were determined. Based upon the body weight and serum cholesterol level, animals were then divided into 5 groups. Four groups were fed respectively with synthetic oil, synthetic oil plus linoleic acid, lard and soybean oil diets, all were supplemented with 1% cholesterol. The, fifth group served as control, was fed with soybean oil diet without cholesterol. Body weights and serum lipids (cholesterol and triglyceride) were measured at intervals during the experiment. Organ weights and liver lipids (total fat, cholesterol and triglyceride) were determined at the end of the experiment.The results showed that there was marked sex difference between male and female rats, that is, synthetic oil diet caused significant lower body weights and lower serum cholesterol levels to female but not to male rats.Cholesterol inducing diets apparently increased the liver weights of all animals, yet fat accumulation only occured in those livers of rats fed with lard and soybean oil diets. The liver fat contents of animals of both synthetic oil and synthetic oil plus linoleic acid groups were at normal level.This experiment reveals that when dietary cholesterol intake is high, the use of synthetic oil as a dietary fat source for maintaining a normal lipid metabolic condition in the body seems beneficial.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effect of teaseed oil which contains about 76% oleic acid on blood lipids and platelet function. Adult Newzealand female rabbits of 2-3 kg body weight were divided into 3 groups of 6-8 animals each. Stock diet was given with 5 ml of coconut, teaseed or safflower oil to each group plus 0.5g of cholesterol by using stomach tube every day for 8 weeks. The results showed serum total cholesterol (TC), LDL-C, platelet aggregation and plasma TXB2 level were significantly reduced in teaseed oil group as compared with that of coconut oil group. Serum TC, LDL-C were lowered too in safflower group, but it was not significantly different from that of coconut oil group. Ratio of serum HDL-C/TC in teaseed oil group was significantly higher than other two groups, and TXB2/6-keto-PGF1a ratio was decreased about 30% when compared with the two other groups, but with no statistical significance.Male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups of 30 animals each and were fed for 9 weeks with semisynthetic diets containing 15% coconut, teaseed or safflower oil and 1% cholesterol respectively. Teaseed oil was found to cause a lower level in platelet aggregation and a significant reduction in plasma TXB2/PGF1a ratio. Analyses of fatty acid composition of platelet membrane showed the MUFA content was much higher and that of the ?-6 PUFA was obviously less in teaseed oil group. The results together with that obtained in rabbit experiment clearly indicated MUFA (mainly oleic acid) exerting beneficial effect on the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Its possible pathway was discussed in the text.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the amount of fat, cholesterol and fatty acid intake in China and provide the basic material for dietary guidance. Methods: Two areas were selected both in North and South China and each area included 3 provinces, or municipality or autonomous region. Three representative survey sites were selected in each province, or municipality or autonomous region. Dietary survey was conducted by the method of weighing and recording and cooking method was also recorded. The amount of food consumption was calculated as standard person (adult male, light physical activity). All foods were gathered as 12 kinds of foods, and each kind of food was cooked and then mixed. The content of fat and fatty acid was analyzed for 8 kinds of foods and the content of cholesterol was analyzed for 4 kinds of foods. The intake of fat, fatty acid and cholesterol per capita was calculated. Results: The amount of fat intake among North I, North II, South I, South II was 70.5 g, 46.5 g, 58.7 g, 71.0 g respectively and the amount of cholesterol intake was 329.6 mg, 128.5 mg, 400.9 mg, 306.0 mg respectively. The main source of dietary fat was from meat and vegetables. Egg was the main source of dietary cholesterol and meat and egg were both the main source of dietary cholesterol in south II area. About 90% of saturated fatty acid was palmitic acid and stearic acid and 90% of monounsaturated fatty acid was oleic acid. Linoleic acid was the principal n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid and linolenic acid was the principal n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid. The ratio of S∶M∶P in North I was 1∶1.1∶1, in North II was 1∶1.6∶1.3, in South I was 1∶1.6∶1.3 and in South II was 1∶1.5∶1. Conclusion: The amount of fat intake and fatty acid profile was quite different among different areas and the dietary guidance should be more pertinent The current cholesterol intake was more than dietary guidance in most areas. In addition to egg, meat was also an important source of cholesterol.
ABSTRACT
Objectives To investigate the consumption of carbohydrate and distribution of dietary glycemic load (GL) in Chinese adults. Method Data from China National Nutrition and Health Survey in 2002 were used for this analysis. Dietary glycemic load was calculated as a function of glycemic index, carbohydrate content and frequency of intake of individual foods. Results Dietary glycemic load was contributed by 92% from cereals. People with low dietary GL /4184 kJ tended to consume more fat, less cereals, and less carbohydrates. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was higher in those with low GL/4184 kJ, especially in urban residents. Conclusion People with low GL/4184 kJ tend to consume more fat, less cereals, less carbohydrates. The situation in urban residents is more serious. Based on factors including cereals intake, energy contribution from fat and carbohydrates, prevalence of malnutrition, overweight and obesity. A proposed range for dietary GL /4184 kJ in Chinese adults can be 80~120.
ABSTRACT
Objectives To analyze the relationship between dietary carbohydrate and glycemic load(GL) and the plasma lipid level and dyslipidemia risk. Method The sample of adults above 18y of age from "National Survey on Nutrition and Health Status of the Chinese People 2002" was used,excluding pregnant women,mothers and people who controled their diets. Data of GI from China Food Composition 2002 and International Glycemic Index Table 2002 were used. The dietary GL as the indicator of dietary carbohydrate was calculated by multiplying the carbohydrate content of each food by its glycemic index,then multiplied by frequency of consumption and summed up from all food. Correlation analysis,multiple regression and Logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between dietary GL and plasma lipid level and dyslipidemia risk. Results Dietary GL remained inversely associated with plasma total cholesterol(TC) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) . With the increase of dietary GL,the risk of hypercholesterolemia and high blood LDL-C decreased. In the meantime dietary GL remained negatively associated with plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) . With the increase of dietary GL,the risk of low blood HDL-C increased. Dietary GL remained inversely associated with plasma triglyceride(TG) ,but showed no significant influence on risk of hypertriglyceridemia. Conclusion The traditional Chinese dietary pattern which is characterized by cereals as staple food is helpful to decrease dyslipidemia risk.
ABSTRACT
Weanling female rats were fed 12% lard diet supplemented with 2 g cholesterol and 60 mg cholic acid per 100 g diet for 52 days. Blood cholesterol levels were then analyzed for individual rat. Animals were divided into 4 groups according to their blood cholesterol levels and body weights. One group of animals, regarded as negative control, was killed immediately. The other 3 groups were fed 12% level of synthetic oil, lard or soybean oil diet respectively without cholesterol and cholic acid supplementation for 3 weeks. During the 3 weeks of rehabilitation, the following parameters were measured: body weight and serum cholesterol levels, every week; food intakes, every other day; high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels at the beginning and the end of the rehabilitation period; fecal steroids excretion, including neutral and acid steroids from the 2nd to the 4th day of rehabilitation; liver weights, liver fat contents and liver cholesterol levels after animals were killed.The results showed that no significant effects on body weights, serum cholesterol levels, liver weights and liver fat contents of different kinds of dietary fat were observed during the rehabilitation period of hyperch-olesterolemia. But synthetic oil, as well as soybean oil diet caused a lower liver cholesterol levels, and higher levels of both serum HDL-C and fecal neutral steroids.
