RESUMO
Objective:To analyze the influence of lifestyle changes on body weight and metabolic parameters during the early stage of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic and regular epidemic prevention period in physical examination population.Methods:A total of 801 subjects from Nanjing enterprises and institutions who underwent physical examination in the Department of Health Promotion Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University in May of 2019 to 2021 were included in this study. The basic information and data of body mass index, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride and uric acid were collected. Information about dietary and exercise habits was obtained through pre-examination questionnaires. The data of 2019 was set as baseline data, data of 2020 represented information during the early stage of COVID-19 epidemic and data of 2021 represented information in regular epidemic prevention period. The subjects were divided into underweight group, normal weight group, overweight group, and obese group according to the body mass index at baseline. The Friedman test was applied to compare changes in body mass index and metabolic parameters across the population. Chi-square test was used to compare changes in dietary and exercise habits. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was adopted to explore the influencing factors of body mass index changes.Results:During the early stage of COVID-19 epidemic, the proportion of weight gain was the highest in the underweight group (42.9%), the proportion of weight loss was the highest in the overweight group (24.2%), and the obese group has the most stable body weight (70.6%) ( P=0.004). Men ( OR=0.56, 95% CI: 0.36-0.87) were less likely to gain weight than women ( P=0.010). There was no significant differences in weight change among all groups in the regular epidemic prevention period ( P=0.380). During the early stage of COVID-19 epidemic, the levels of fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol and LDL-C were significantly lower than those of baseline [4.98 (4.66, 5.42) vs 5.23 (4.91, 5.66) mmol/L, 4.98 (4.36, 5.67) vs 5.11 (4.54, 5.77) mmol/L, 2.90 (2.45, 3.33) vs 3.23 (2.77, 3.74) mmol/L], and the uric acid level was higher [333.0 (275.5, 397.0) vs 311.0 (257.5, 368.0) μmol/L] (all P<0.001). In regular epidemic prevention period, the levels of body mass index, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol and LDL-C were significantly higher than those in the early stage of the epidemic [24.0 (21.9, 26.3) vs 23.8 (21.7, 26.1) kg/m 2, 5.18 (4.85, 5.62) vs 4.98 (4.66, 5.42) mmol/L, 5.12 (4.42, 5.76) vs 4.98 (4.36, 5.67) mmol/L, 3.06 (2.59, 3.57) vs 2.90 (2.45, 3.33) mmol/L], while the uric acid was significantly lower [319.0 (265.0, 377.0) vs 333.0 (275.5, 397.0) μmol/L] (all P<0.001). During the early stage of the epidemic, the reduction proportion of unhealthy diet in the home group was significantly higher than that in the outing group (19.5% vs 11.4%), and the increment proportion of exercise in the outing group was significantly higher than that in the home group (5.1% vs 1.6%) (both P<0.05). In regular epidemic prevention period, the increase rate of unhealthy diet in the home group was significantly higher than that in the outing group (26.8% vs 13.0%) ( P<0.001), and there was no significant difference in exercise between the two groups ( P=0.325). During the early stage of COVID-19 epidemic and in the regular epidemic prevention period, unhealthy diet>3 times per week ( OR=3.85, 3.01, 95% CI: 1.74-8.51, 1.41-6.39) was positively correlated with weight gain, and regular exercise ( OR=4.35, 2.61, 95% CI: 2.05-9.23, 1.15-5.91) was positively correlated with weight loss (all P<0.05). Conclusions:During the early stage of COVID-19 epidemic and in the regular epidemic prevention period, the lifestyle in the physical examination population has an impact on body weight and metabolic indicators. In the early stage of the epidemic, unhealthy diet and exercise decreased, and metabolic indicators such as blood glucose and lipids decreased. People with low body weight tend to gain weight. In the regular epidemic prevention period, the subjects′ exercise increased but unhealthy diet also increased, and blood glucose, lipid and body weight elevated significantly.
RESUMO
Objective:To compare cerebral vascular hemodynamic indexes (CVHI) and revised Framingham stroke risk profile (FSP) in predicting the risk of stroke among physical examiners.Methods:A total of 1 049 individuals were enrolled from the Health Management Center, Jiangsu Province Hospital during January 2019 and January 2020. Correlation analysis was carried out to confirm the correlations of risk factors of stroke with CVHI accumulative score and FSP. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the influence of CVHI classification, hypertension, diabetes and smoking on the 10-year risk of stroke evaluated by FSP.Results:In this study, the number of people whose CVHI accumulative score was less than 75 was 163 (15.54%) and the number of people whose 10-year probabilities of stroke was greater than or equal to 6% was 202 (19.26%). The CVHI accumulative score was negatively related with FSP ( r=-0.284, P<0.001). The result demonstrated that the CVHI classification, hypertension, diabetes and smoking were independent predictors for the 10-year risk of stroke evaluated by FSP. Conclusions:The proportion of individuals with stroke risk in medical examination population evaluated by CVHI is lower than by FSP. Combination of CVHI and FSP can effectively predict the risk of stroke among physical examiners.

Objective To improve the diagnosis of tuberculosis ( TB) by analyzing Mycobacterium infection in fine-needle aspiration biopsy specimens from children with tuberculous lymphadenitis .Methods Fine-needle aspiration biopsy was performed on 269 children with tuberculous lymphadenitis diagnosed by Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center from January 2011 to September 2013 .The needle aspiration biopsy specimens were processed for acid-fast bacillus (AFB) smear test, mycobacterial culture and Mycobacterium identification ( p-nitrobenzoic acid inhibition test ) .Results Cytological diagnosis of tuberculous lymphade-nitis was made for 269 patients.The positive results by AFB smear test were detected in 63.19% of 269 specimens (n=170) and 40.15%(n=108) specimens were positive in mycobacterial culture .The differ-ence between the two tests were significant (P<0.01).The positive rate of Mycobacterium detected by using BACTEC MGIT 960 automated system and L?wenstein-Jensen culture method were 38 .66% ( n=104 ) and 28.99%(n=78), respectively, showing the significant difference between two tests (P<0.05).AFB smear test in combination with mycobacterial culture could precisely diagnose 70.63% of tuberculous lym-phadenitis in children.Of the 108 clinical isolates, 105 strains (97.2%) were Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and the rest were non-tuberculous Mycobacterium strains (2.8%).Conclusion The positive rate by AFB smear test was significantly increased in fine needle aspiration biopsy specimens after a series of treatments including sample digestion , centrifugation and precipitation , but the positive rate of mycobacterial culture was reduced .Diagnostic accuracy could be significantly improved by using BACTEC MGIT 960 sys-tem.Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex was the predominant pathogenic bacterium in children with tubercu-lous lymphadenitis .
RESUMO
phological changes in rat liver tissues. TLR4 and NF-κB expression in the liver tissues were measured by im-munohistochemistry . The results showed that compared with the normal group , the serum levels of transaminase ( ALT , AST ) and endotoxin of the model group were higher ( P < 0 . 01 ); and the degree of liver pathology injury was significantly increased; the TLR4 and NF-кB expression were increased (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the serum levels of transaminase (ALT, AST) and endotoxin of the experimental group were lower (P < 0.01), the degree of liver pathology injury was significantly lighter; the TLR4 and NF-кB expression were significantly lower (P < 0.01). It was concluded that the WYJDHY granules has a good role in the prevention and treatment of liver injury of rat model of hepatic failure IETM through the downregulation of liver expression of TLR4 and NF-кB in rat liver tissues , reducing serum levels of endotoxin , which may be one of the mecha-nisms on hepatic failure treatment .
