RESUMO
Objective To explore the correlation between the level of serum uric acid and metabolic syndrome and associated factors including overweight,abnormality of blood glucose,blood lipid,and hypertension.Methods 654 cases of complete medical records,aging from 30-90with median age of 65 ,were completed were selected,Data base was established by using Excell software,meanwhile,single factor analysis and stepwise regression analysis were performed using SPSS 11.0 software package.Results The levels of serum uric acid of patients with overweight,high fasting blood glucose (FBG),hypertriglyceride (TG),high-density lipid cholesterol (HDL-C)and essential hypertension (EH)were higher than that of patients without overweight,normal fasting blood glucose,normal triglyceride,low high-density lipid cholesterol and without hypertension,respectively [respectively,(270.52 ±81.63 )μmol/L vs.(226.61 ± 67.42)μmol/L,t=-7.387,P=0.000;(265.71±73.50)μmol/Lvs.(235.03 ±75.00)μmol/L,t=-4.459,P=0.000;(262.80 ±74.45 )μmol/L vs.( 235.82±75.04)μmol/L,t=-3.927,P=0.000;(243.97 ±76.33)μmol/L vs.(212.78±57.60)μmol/L,t=-2.412,P=0.016;(282.87±64.79)μmol/L vs.( 180.22±41.60)μmol/L,t=22.59,P=0.000 ].The patients with metabolic syndrome (n=107)and the patients without metabolic syndrome (n=547)were included in our study.The level of serum uric acid of patients with metabolic syndrome was higher than that of patients without metabolic syndrome [(301.22±68.55 )μmol/L vs.(230.72±71.63)μmol/L,t=9.376,P=0.000].Stepwise regression analysis showed that there was positive correlation between systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),the body mass index (BMI),triglyceride (TG),high-density lipid cholesterol (HDL-C),fasting blood glucose (FBG)and the level of serum uric acid,respectively (t=3.409,13.401,6.979,2.943,3.514,4.706 respectively;P=0.000,0.001,0.000,0.003,0.000,0.000 respectively).Conclusion The level of serum uric acid in patients with metabolic syndrome is higher than those without metabolic syndrome.There is positive correlation between the level of serum uric acid and associated factors of metabolic syndrome including overweight,abnormality of blood glucose and blood lipid,and hypertension.
RESUMO
Objective To study the protein expressions of Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD) and caspase-8 in rats with intracerebral hemorrhage ,and the effects of erythropoietin tp reveal the mechanism of neu-m-protection by EPO. Methods 126 male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: Sham-operated group, intracerebral hemorrhage group, and EPO group. Each group was divided into seven subgroups according to the differ-ent time points (3,6,12,24,48,72 h and 7 d). The model of intracerebral hemorrage was established in rats by in-tracerebral injection of autogenous blood. The protein expressions of FADD and caspas-8 in rats tissue around the hemorrhagic and the normal brain tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results The protein expressions of FADD and caspase-8 were increased [(4.66±0.46 ) and ( 15.89±1.81)] at 3 h after intracerebral hemorrhage, and peaked at 48 h [ (35.88±4.24 ) and (45.04±3.99)], the expressions of FADD and caspas-8 in the region around hematoma in EPO group significantly decreased compared with model group[ (3.92±0.64) and (28.24±1.90), (13.32±2.01 ) and (35.08±2.82)] at 3 h and 48 h. Conclusion The protein expressions of FADD and easpase-8 are markedly increased after intracerebral hemorrhage. EPO can protect the neurons by signifi-cantly reducing the expressions of FADD and caspase-8.
