A diet containing 50% crude protein and 12% crude lipid was formulated as the basal and control, on which other two protein and lipid contents identical experimental diets were formulated by supplementing the basal with either 0.75% Pro(Pro-0.75) or 0.75% Pro and 0.75% Hyp(Pro+Hyp). Four groups of fish in indoor seawater recirculating systems, 35 individuals each, were fed twice a day to apparent satiation for 10 weeks. The results showed that dietary Pro and Hyp supplementation had no significant effect on growth performance and feed utilization of juvenile turbot(P > 0.05). Total Hyp and collagen concentrations in muscle were significantly increased when dietary Pro and Hyp increased(P < 0.05), and fish fed diet Pro+Hyp showed significantly higher free Hyp content in plasma than those fed other diets(P < 0.05). The expression of P4 H α(I) gene in liver and muscle was significantly up regulated in fish fed diet Pro-0.75 in comparison with control(P < 0.05); however the gene was significantly down regulated in fish fed diet Pro+Hyp in muscle in comparison with fish fed diet Pro-0.75(P < 0.05). It can be concluded that supplement of crystal L-Pro and L-Hyp to high plant protein diets did not show positive effects on growth performance of juvenile turbot, but enhanced total collagen concentrations in muscle.展开更多

Methods: The patients who were treated in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of our hospital from January to December 2022 were selected as the study subjects, and the high risk and extremely high risk groups of grade I, II and III hypertension were selected for comparative analysis to explore their clinical significance. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the number of patients with extremely high risk of grade II hypertension between men and women (P 0.05), which showed that there was no specificity in the concentration detection of serum uric acid and cystatin C in different grades of hypertension;there was no significant difference in serum uric acid concentration between grade II and grade III of hypertension with high risk grade and cystatin C concentration between grade I and grade III of hypertension with high risk grade (P > 0.05), but there was significant difference in the concentration detection of serum uric acid and cystatin C between the other groups (P < 0.05), which indicates that the detection of serum uric acid and cystatin C has important clinical significance in the high risk degree of hypertension. Conclusion: In the comparison of the detection of blood uric acid and cystatin C in different levels of hypertension with extremely high risk, the difference of cystatin C in grade I and grade III was not statistically significant, and the rest were statistically significant;therefore, the detection of serum uric acid and cystatin C can provide reliable laboratory data for clinical diagnosis and treatment of the extremely high risk degree of different levels of hypertension.展开更多

All patients completed a comprehensive questionnaire survey and underwent abdominal ultrasound examination and a blood test. NAFLD was diagnosed using ultrasonography after other etiologies were excluded. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline model were conducted to evaluate the relationship of UHR with NAFLD risk.Results The multivariable adjusted odds ratio(95% confidence interval, CI) for NAFLD in the highest versus lowest quartile of UHR was 3.888(2.324–6.504). In analyses stratified by sex and age, we observed significant and positive associations between UHR and the risk of NAFLD in each subgroup. In analyses stratified by body mass index(BMI), a significant and positive association was found only in individuals with a BMI of ≥ 24 kg/m2. Our dose-response analysis indicated a linear positive correlation between UHR and the risk of NAFLD.Conclusion UHR is positively associated with the risk of NAFLD and may serve as an innovative and noninvasive marker for identifying individuals at risk of NAFLD.展开更多

Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the number of patients with extremely high risk of grade II hypertension between men and women (P 0.05), which showed that there was no specificity in the concentration detection of serum uric acid and cystatin C in different grades of hypertension;there was no significant difference in serum uric acid concentration between grade II and grade III of hypertension with high risk grade and cystatin C concentration between grade I and grade III of hypertension with high risk grade (P > 0.05), but there was significant difference in the concentration detection of serum uric acid and cystatin C between the other groups (P < 0.05), which indicates that the detection of serum uric acid and cystatin C has important clinical significance in the high risk degree of hypertension. Conclusion: In the comparison of the detection of blood uric acid and cystatin C in different levels of hypertension with extremely high risk, the difference of cystatin C in grade I and grade III was not statistically significant, and the rest were statistically significant;therefore, the detection of serum uric acid and cystatin C can provide reliable laboratory data for clinical diagnosis and treatment of the extremely high risk degree of different levels of hypertension.
文摘Objective To evaluate the association between serum uric acid(SUA)and kidney function decline.Methods Data was obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study on the Chinese middle-aged and older population for analysis.The kidney function decline was defined as an annual estimated glomerular filtration rate(e GFR)decrease by>3 mL/min per 1.73 m^(2).Multivariable logistic regression was applied to determine the association between SUA and kidney function decline.The shape of the association was investigated by restricted cubic splines.Results A total of 7,346 participants were included,of which 1,004 individuals(13.67%)developed kidney function decline during the follow-up of 4 years.A significant dose-response relation was recorded between SUA and the kidney function decline(OR 1.14,95%CI 1.03-1.27),as the risk of kidney function decline increased by 14%per 1 mg/d L increase in SUA.In the subgroup analyses,such a relation was only recorded among women(OR 1.22,95%CI 1.03-1.45),those aged<60 years(OR 1.22,95%CI 1.05-1.42),and those without hypertension and without diabetes(OR 1.22,95%CI 1.06-1.41).Although the dose-response relation was not observed in men,the high level of SUA was related to kidney function decline(OR 1.83,95%CI 1.05-3.17).The restricted cubic spline analysis indicated that SUA>5 mg/dL was associated with a significantly higher risk of kidney function decline.Conclusion The SUA level was associated with kidney function decline.An elevation of SUA should therefore be addressed to prevent possible kidney impairment and dysfunction.

文摘Objective The aim of this case-control study was to explore the association between serum uric acid to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio(UHR) and the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) in Chinese adults.Methods A total of 636 patients with NAFLD and 754 controls were enrolled from the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, China, between January and December 2016. All patients completed a comprehensive questionnaire survey and underwent abdominal ultrasound examination and a blood test. NAFLD was diagnosed using ultrasonography after other etiologies were excluded. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline model were conducted to evaluate the relationship of UHR with NAFLD risk.Results The multivariable adjusted odds ratio(95% confidence interval, CI) for NAFLD in the highest versus lowest quartile of UHR was 3.888(2.324–6.504). In analyses stratified by sex and age, we observed significant and positive associations between UHR and the risk of NAFLD in each subgroup. In analyses stratified by body mass index(BMI), a significant and positive association was found only in individuals with a BMI of ≥ 24 kg/m2. Our dose-response analysis indicated a linear positive correlation between UHR and the risk of NAFLD.Conclusion UHR is positively associated with the risk of NAFLD and may serve as an innovative and noninvasive marker for identifying individuals at risk of NAFLD.

文摘Hyperuricemia is a critical threat to human health,and a high inosine diet can increase the prevalence of it.Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Fmb14 was isolated from traditional fermented Chinese yogurt,and its inosine degradation rate reached 36.3%at 109 CFU/mL for 24 h.LC-MS analysis revealed that high concentrations of inosine could activate compensatory metabolic pathways of L.rhamnosus Fmb14 to catalyse inosine as an energy source and produce intracellular folic acid and riboflavin.The contents of folic acid and riboflavin were 6.0 and 4.3 fold increased after inosine treatment in the cell-free extracts(CFE).L.rhamnosus Fmb14 CFE treatment ameliorates hyperuricemia through xanthine oxidase(XOD)inhibition and ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2(ABCG2)promotion,both of which are responsible for uric acid(UA)synthesis and secretion in HepG2 and Caco2 cells,respectively.The in vivo results showed that the serum UA level decreased from 236.28 to 149.28μmol/L after 8 weeks of oral administration of L.rhamnosus Fmb14 in inosine-induced hyperuricemia model mice.Our results revealed that L.rhamnosus Fmb14 has a potential as a biological therapeutic agent in hyperuricemia prevention.

文摘BACKGROUND The incidence and mortality of liver cancer are among the highest of all malignant tumors in China.The high recurrence rate after conventional hepatectomy is worrying.There is a lack of effective prognostic indicators for liver cancer.AIM To explore the clinical significance of preoperative serum oxidative stress and serum uric acid(UA)levels in hepatitis B-related liver cancer.METHODS The medical records of 110 hepatitis B-related liver cancer patients who under-went hepatectomy in Gansu Provincial Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.Recurrence in patients within 3 years after surgery was determined.The logistic regression model and Pearson or Spearman correlation were used to analyze the correlation between oxidative stress level and UA,and the recurrence of hepatitis B-related liver cancer.RESULTS Compared with the non-recurrence group,the levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and glutathione(GSH)in the recurrence group were lower and the levels of malondialdehyde(MDA)and UA were higher(all P<0.05).UA,SOD,MDA,and GSH were risk factors for postoperative recurrence in hepatitis B-related liver cancer patients(P<0.05).UA was positively correlated with MDA(r=0.395,P<0.001)and negatively correlated with GSH(r=-0.204,P=0.032).The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)of SOD,MDA,GSH,and UA in predicting the prognosis was 0.276,0.910,0.199,and 0.784,respectively(all P<0.001).CONCLUSION The preoperative serum SOD,GSH,MDA,and UA levels had significant predictive effects on postoperative recurrence of hepatitis B-related liver cancer.
文摘目的探索脊柱退变住院患者血清尿酸/高密度脂蛋白比值与骨密度的相关性。方法共纳入803例脊柱退变的受试者,评估临床因素及实验室检查结果,测量骨密度,按照骨密度结果分为骨质疏松症组及非骨质疏松症组。采用多元Logistic回归分析血清尿酸/高密度脂蛋白比值(uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio,UHR)与骨质疏松症的相关性。结果与非骨质疏松症组相比,骨质疏松症组的UHR更低(244.93±.102.51 vs 199.97±.91.96,P<0.001),多元Logistics回归分析提示,在校正了骨质疏松症的传统危险因素后,UHR最高的四分位患者发生骨质疏松症的可能性是UHR最低的四分位患者的0.402倍(P=0.018)。骨质疏松症的患病率在UHR四分位呈下降的趋势,骨密度在UHR四分位呈升高的趋势。UHR在骨量正常、骨量减少及骨质疏松症3组呈下降的趋势。结论低UHR是昆山地区脊柱退变住院患者发生骨质疏松症的危险因素。对于UHR较低的脊柱退变患者,应注意筛查骨质疏松症。
