Lipid abnormalities in chronic renal failure

Lipid abnormalities remain to be a major cause of early mortality in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). In present study, 114 (one hundred fourteen) CRF patients without any additional cause of dyslipidemia were divided into groups on the basis of etiologies of CRF. Blood samples from each group were analyzed for total cholesterol, triglyceride and HDL cholesterol along with blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine. 25 healthy individuals without any obvious disease were taken as control. Patients from all the groups showed a marked hypertriglyceridemia of 232 (SD±77) mg/dl (P<0.001) as compared to control. Levels of HDL cholesterol were found to be significantly low 20 (±11) mg/dl (p<0.001) in all the groups. LDL cholesterol showed an increase 104 (±30) mg/dl as compared to control group which is not statistically significant. Present study reveals that, CRF patients show an uniform dyslipidemia irrespective of etiologies leading to CRF. This dyslipidemia is also independent of serum creatinine levels. Although, these lipid abnormalities may not solely cause mortality in CRF patients, they may act as modulators in accelerating atherogenesis which in turn cause early mortality in CRF patients.     

Study of sEGF level in chronic atrophic gastritis with either Chinese traditional medicine or western medicine

This study was aimed to investigate the level of sEGF in CAG with different therapies of either Chinese traditional medicine or western medicine. Patients were divided into spleen-reinforcingⅠ, spleen-reinforcing Ⅱ,dampness-resolving and western medicine group by Differentiation Syndrome. Healthy volunteers acted as controls. The sEGF was investigated before and after treatment. The level of sEGF in CAG was higher than that in control group(P<0.01). In patients of spleen-reinforcingⅠgroup and spleen-reinforcing Ⅱgroup, the symptoms and pathological manifestations were improved dramatically (P<0.01) and sEGF dropped markedly after treatment(P<0.01 and P<0.05).The level of sEGF in the dampness-resolving group increased after treatment (P<0.05). But the level of sEGF in the western-medicine group dropped a little after treatment (P>0.05). The inflammation of gastric mucosa may cause the elevation of sEGF in CAG reflectively. After being effectively treated with Chinese traditional medicine, the symptoms of CAG improved simultaneously with the return of sEGF. SEGF is a sensitive index to prognosis of CAG.     

纳洛酮对急性酒精中毒小鼠T—AOC的影响

为探讨纳洛酮对急性酒精中毒小鼠总抗氧化能力T—AOC的影响。将小鼠分为空白组、急性酒精中毒小鼠模型组和解救组,解救组对急性酒精中毒小鼠注射酸纳络酮注射液。处理结束后,摘眼球取血,分离血浆,测血清中T—AOC活力。结果酒精中毒小鼠血清T—AOC活力降低,纳洛酮解救后T—AOC的活力升高显著（α=0．05）,但仍未能回复到中毒之前的水平。结果表明,纳洛酮在恢复酒精中毒小鼠机体抗氧化能力方面有一定的效果,但未能大幅度扭转机体抗氧化能力降低的趋势。     

浅谈中医防治慢性前列腺炎

慢性前列腺炎中医属于＂淋证＂、＂尿浊＂等范畴。其病因主要为湿热下注。中医辨证分为湿热蕴结型、肝气郁滞型、瘀血阻滞型、脾肾阳虚型、肾阴亏虚型。外治法有针刺疗法、灸法、按摩法、坐浴疗法、中药煎汤保留灌肠。慢性前列腺炎应未病先防,中医辨证论治效果良好。     

Tai Ji Quan as an exercise modality to prevent and manage cardiovascular disease: A review

BackgroundRegular exercise is beneficial for adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD risk factors. Tai Ji Quan is popular among older adults and may offer additional exercise options. The present article aims to review the scientific literature published within the past decade on Tai Ji Quan as an exercise modality to prevent and manage CVD.MethodsAn electronic literature search of four databases (PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and AMED) was conducted from April 2003 through March 2013. Studies that examined Tai Ji Quan, were published in English, and specified a target study population of participants with a known CVD condition (e.g., coronary artery disease, chronic heart failure, or stroke) or studies conducted among participants with a CVD risk factor (e.g., hypertension, dyslipidemia, or impaired glucose metabolism) were included.ResultsA total of 20 studies met the inclusion criteria: 11 randomized clinical trials, seven quasi-experimental studies and two cross-sectional studies. The effect of Tai Ji Quan was examined on more than 20 different study variables among persons with coronary artery disease (n = 5 studies), chronic heart failure (n = 5 studies), stroke (n = 4 studies), and CVD risk factors (n = 6 studies). These studies were conducted primarily in Asia (n = 9, 45%) or the United States (n = 8, 40%). Overall, participants enrolled in Tai Ji Quan had better outcomes, though mixed results were reported.ConclusionCollectively, these studies indicate that Tai Ji Quan is a safe form of exercise to prevent and manage CVD. Further research is needed with more rigorous study designs, larger sample sizes, adequate Tai Ji Quan exercise doses, and carefully chosen outcome measures that assess the mechanisms as well as the effects of Tai Ji Quan, before widespread recommendations can be made.     

Adverse childhood experiences,chronic diseases,and risky health behaviors in Saudi Arabian adults: A pilot study

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been linked with risky health behaviors and the development of chronic diseases in adulthood. This study examined associations between ACEs, chronic diseases, and risky behaviors in adults living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 2012 using the ACE International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ). A cross-sectional design was used, and adults who were at least 18 years of age were eligible to participate. ACEs event scores were measured for neglect, household dysfunction, abuse (physical, sexual, and emotional), and peer and community violence. The ACE-IQ was supplemented with questions on risky health behaviors, chronic diseases, and mood. A total of 931 subjects completed the questionnaire (a completion rate of 88%); 57% of the sample was female, 90% was younger than 45 years, 86% had at least a college education, 80% were Saudi nationals, and 58% were married. One-third of the participants (32%) had been exposed to 4 or more ACEs, and 10%, 17%, and 23% had been exposed to 3, 2, or 1 ACEs respectively. Only 18% did not have an ACE. The prevalence of risky health behaviors ranged between 4% and 22%. The prevalence of self-reported chronic diseases ranged between 6% and 17%. Being exposed to 4 or more ACEs increased the risk of having chronic diseases by 2–11 fold, and increased risky health behaviors by 8–21 fold. The findings of this study will contribute to the planning and development of programs to prevent child maltreatment and to alleviate the burden of chronic diseases in adults.
