RESUMEN
@#Objective To explore the association between cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activities in physically active patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods From July to November, 2017, 41 physically active patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were measured physical activities with International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and cardiorespiratory fitness with cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) by bicycle ergometer. The association between cardiorespiratory fitness and physical activity was analyzed with bivariate correlation analysis and Logistic regression. Results Leisure-time physical activities positively correlated with peak oxygen consumption and oxygen consumption at anaerobic threshold (r = 0.393-0.503, P < 0.05), while leisure-time physical activities independently and positively correlated with normal cardiorespiratory fitness (OR = 5.661, P = 0.017). Conclusion Leisure-time physical activities can improve the cardiorespiratory fitness in physically active patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, which should be encouraged rather than other activities.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of high concentration glucose on cholesterol absorption of human colon cancer epithelial Caco-2 cells.Methods The experimental study was used.(1) CCK-8 detected cell proliferation:the proliferation rate changes of Caco-2 cells were detected by CCK-8 when different concentrations (12.5,100.0,300.0,700.0,1 000.0,1 388.0 mmol/L) of glucose solution effects on Caco-2 cells in order to ensure the half hindering concentration of glucose concentration on Caco-2 cells.(2)Cholesterol absorption of Caco-2 cells was detected:Caco-2 cells were divided into the cholesterol group,cholesterol plus ezetimibe (cholesterol inhibitor) group and blank control group.Cholesterol group:100 μmol/L cholesterol solution and different concentrations (5.0,25.0,50.0 mmol/L) of glucose solution were added.Cholesterol plus ezetimibe group:100 μmol/L ezetimibe,100 μmol/L cholesterol solution and different concentrations (5.0,25.0,50.0 mmol/L) of glucose solution were added.Blank control group:DMEM culture medium and corresponding concentrations of DMSO were added.The cholesterol absorption amounts of Caco-2 cells were measured.(3) The relative expressions of ATP binding cassette G8 (ABCG8),ATP binding cassette G5 (ABCG5),Nickman-Pick CI Like 1 (NPC1L1) and scavenger receptor class B type Ⅰ (SR-B Ⅰ) were examined by Western blot in the different groups.Caco cells were divided into the glucose group,glucose plus ezetimibe group and control group.The different concentrations (5.0,25.0,50.0 mmol/L) of glucose solution were added into the glucose group,different concentrations (5.0,25.0,50.0 mmol/L) of glucose solution and 100 μmol/L ezetimibe were added into the glucose plus ezetimibe group,and 100 μmol/L ezetimibe were added into the control group.The relative expressions of ABCG8,ABCG5,NPC1L1 and SR-B Ⅰ were detected by Western blot.Measurement data were presented as (x) ±s,repeated measure variance analysis was used to perform variation trend test,and t test was utilized to conduct comparisons among groups.Results (1) CCK-8 results showed:proliferation rates of Caco-2 cells with the glucose solution concentration of 12.5,100.0,300.0,700.0,1 000.0 and 1 388.0 mmol/L were 1.380 ±0.043,1.238 ±0.072,0.736 ±0.035,0.336 ±0.021,0.316 ±0.020 and 0.288 ±0.010,respectively,with a statistically significant difference in the proliferation rates (F =11.019,P ＜ 0.05).The half hindering concentration of glucose solution on Caco-2 cells was 283.54 mmol/L.(2)Cholesterol absorption of Caco-2 cells:① the cholesterol absorption amounts of Caco-2 cells with the glucose solution concentration of 5.0,25.0 and 50.0 mmol/L were 0.282 ± 0.042,0.380 ± 0.063,0.390 ± 0.060 in the cholesterol group and 0.042 ± 0.012,0.197 ± 0.015,0.277 ± 0.029 in the cholesterol plus ezetimibe group,respectively,showing a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (F =55.566,P ＜ 0.05).②There was a statistically significant difference in cholesterol absorption amounts of Caco-2 cells with different glucose solution concentration in the cholesterol group (F =79.117,P ＜ 0.05).The cholesterol absorption amounts of Caco-2 cells with the glucose solution concentrations of 5.0 mmol/L was lower than that with the glucose solution concentrations of 25.0 mmol/L and 50.0 mmol/L,respectively (t =11.207,11.532,P ＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the cholesterol absorption amounts of Caco-2 cells between the glucose solution concentrations of 25.0 mmol/L and 50.0 mmol/L (t =12.389,P ＞ 0.05).③There were statistically significant differences in cholesterol absorption amounts of Caco-2 cells with the glucose concentration of 5.0 mmol/L and 25.0 mmol/L between cholesterol group and cholesterol plus ezetimibe group (t =10.908,10.644,P ＜ 0.05).(3) The results of Western blot showed:① the relative expression of NPC1L1 protein in Caco-2 cells with the glucose solution concentrations of 5.0,25.0 and 50.0 mmol/L were respectively 0.277 ±0.019,0.558 ±0.015,0.576 ±0.003 in the glucose group and 0.057 ±0.002,0.054 ±0.005,0.077 ±0.005 in the glucose plus ezetimibe group,showing a statistically significant difference (F =482.207,P ＜0.05).② The relative expression of NPC1L1 protein of Caco-2 cells with the different concentration of glucose solution in the glucose group were compared,with a statistically significant difference (F =8.112,P ＜ 0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in the relative expression of NPC1L1 protein in Caco-2 cells with the different concentration of glucose solution in the glucose plus ezetimibe group (F =11.708,P ＜ 0.05).③ The relative expression of NPC1L1 protein in Caco-2 cells with the glucose solution concentrations of 5.0,25.0 and 50.0 mmol/L in the glucose group was statistically different from that in the glucose plus ezetimibe group (t =8.112,11.708,13.920,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion High concentration glucose solution could promote the reabsorption of cholesterol through increasing NPC1L1 protein expression in Caco-2 cells,and increase the risk of suffering from cholelithiasis in diabetes patients.
RESUMEN
Objective To observe the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on cholesterol gallstones formation in C57BL/6 mice with diet-induced cholesterol gallstone,and then explore the potential mechanism.Methods Fifty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (10 mice in each group),referring to control group,experimental group,experimental plus DHA group,experimental plus EPA group,as well as experimental plus DHA and EPA group.The mice in control group were fed with regular diet,and the rest of the mice with lithogenic diet (LD).Subsequent to feeding the mice with separate diets for two weeks,EPA and/or DHA (70 mg · kg-1 · d-1) were orally administered for eight weeks,while the LD feeding was continued during this period.After a total of 10 weeks,the mice were dissected to observe the gallstone formation.The levels of serum lipids,total cholesterol (TC) and phospholipids (PL) in bile,and TC in the liver were tested,and the protein expression of HMGCR,SRBI,ABCG5/ABCG8,CYP7A1 and ABCB11genes in the liver of mice was measured.Results Compared with the experimental group,the experimental plus EPA group had significantly lower TC in liver (0.033 ±0.008 mmolo/g) and bile (1.807 ±0.381 mmolo/L),and lower relative protein expression levels of HMGCR (0.545±0.098),ABCG5 (0.418±0.089) and ABCG8 (0.501 ±0.151)in liver (P＜ 0.05).The contents of TC in liver and bile,and the protein expression of HMGCR,ABCG5andABCG8 in liver were 0.048 ± 0.006 mmol/g and 2.662 ± 0.339 mmolo/L,and 1.011 ± 0.213,1.037 ± 0.276 and 1.266 ±0.312,respectively.No significant differences were observed between experimental plus DHA group and experimental group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions EPA could prevent the cholesterol gallstone formation in mice by decreasing the expression of HMGCR and ABCG5/8 genes in liver,therefore reducing cholesterol synthesis and blocking cholesterol transport from liver to bile as well as diminishing cholesterol content in the bile.However,the inhibition effect of DHA on cholesterol gallstone formation was not obvious.
RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>This study aimed to evaluate the effect of resin infiltration and fluoride solution on masking different demineralized white spot lesions by assessing color change.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Artificial white spot lesions were produced on 60 human molars. Each sample had at least two enamel surfaces opened (named A and B). The samples were randomly divided into groups 1, 2, and 3 according to their time of demineralization (24, 48, and 72 h). After demineralization, the A spot of each sample was treated by resin infiltration. The B spot was treated with 0.1% fluoride solution daily for 30 days. After the remineralization of the B spot, resin infiltration was used again on the B spot of each sample. Color assessment was performed by a spectrophotometer in five distinct stages: baseline, after the production of artificial caries, after resin infiltration of A spots, after 30 days of fluoride solution treatment of B spots, and after resin infiltration of remineralized B spots.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Before demineralization, the L* values of spots A and B in all groups were not significantly different (P > 0.05), whereas the L* values of spots A and B were significantly increased after demineralization. The L* values of A spots recovered significantly after treatment by resin infiltration (P<0.05), but only groups 1 and 2 reached the baseline. The L* values of B spots had no significant differences (P > 0.05) after fluoride treatment compared with that after demineralization. After resin infiltration on B spots, the L* values recovered but could not reach the baseline nor the level of A spots treated by resin infiltration only.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Resin infiltration is a more effective treatment for masking white spot lesions than traditional fluoride treatment. The effect of masking white spot lesions has certain relationships with the degree of demineralization and activity of the lesion.</p>

BACKGROUND:In the treatment of early caries, fluoride can be used for remineralization of white spot lesions. Varnish XT (durable fluoride-releasing coating) and ICON penetration resins are two new materials. Varnish XT as a new type of resin reinforced glass ionomer can be selected as mineralized material. ICON penetration resin is a high-permeability resin with good liquidity that can infiltrate by capilary action into the pores created by enamel demineralization. Low-viscosity resin is used to replace the lost hard tissue due to demineralization and occupy the micropores, so as to fil the region of enamel demineralization and prevent further development of lesions. OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of two minimaly invasive surgical treatment materials, Varnish XT and ICON penetrating resin, on the microhardness of enamel caries white spot. METHODS:Totaly 100 incisors of cows were selected, embedded with ethoxyline resin and polished. The lip side facing down served as the observation side. An area of at least 6 mm×10 mm on the enamel face was exposed, and there were five regions from incisal to dental cervix, A, B, C, D, E. After demineralization liquid for artificial caries, no treatment was adopted in region A, treatment with Varnish XT was for region B, treatment with ICON penetrating resin for region C, treatment with fluoride for region D, and region E was sealed with antacid nail. Surface micro-hardness was detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After demineralization, surface micro-hardness of regions A, B, C, D decreases remarkably as compared with region E (P B and D for surface micro-hardness with statistical significance (P 0.05). ICON resin infiltration, Varnish XT and fluoride have obvious improvement effects on surface micro-hardness, and ICON resin infiltration is superior to Varnish XT and fluoride.
