Objectives To systematically review the association between TM6SF2 (transmembrane six superfamily member 2- rs58592426) polymorphism and liver lesion and the severity of liver fibrosis. Methods We electronically searched databases including PubMed, CNKI, WanFang Data and CBM from inception to January 27, 2016, to collect cross-sectional studies about the association between the TM6SF2 polymorphism and the liver lesion and the severity of liver fibrosis. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the methodological quality included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using Stata 12.0 software. Results A total of 23 studies including 96 594 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: TM6SF2 polymorphism was associated with increased risk of the severity of liver fibrosis, the levels of TG, TC and LDL-C (all P values < 0.05). Carriers of the T allele showed lower levels of TG, TC, and LDL-C. Carriers of the T allele revealed higher levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) when compared with homozygous EE. Conclusion TM6SF2 polymorphism is associated with lipid traits in different population, the variants shows lower levels of lipid traits in blood serum and increases the risk of the severity of liver fibrosis and liver lesion.
Objective To investigate and analyze the relationships among glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) level, chronic inflammation, and atherosclerosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods From October 2016 to February 2017, using cross-sectional investigation, the GLP-1 level, chronic inflammation, and atherosclerosis were investigated in 80 subjects (40 NAFLD patients in NAFLD group, and 40 non-fatty liver disease participants in control group) who underwent physical examination at Xi’an Road Community Hospital. Results Compared with those in the control group, GLP-1 fasting level in patients with NAFLD [(9.09±1.03) vs. (9.15±1.06) pmol/L, P=0.807] and postprandial plasma GLP-1 [(15.96±3.37) vs. (17.46±4.76) pmol/L, P=0.108] had no changes. The correlations of GLP-1 level with chronic inflammation and insulin resistance (IR) were not significant either. The increased risk of carotid intima-media thickness related cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the NAFLD group was greater than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant [22 (55.0%)vs.13 (32.5%), P=0.043]. When the plasma lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 level increased, the risk of NAFLD increased [odd ratio (OR)=1.16, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.02, 1.32), P=0.023]. Plasma ceramide kinase (CERK) in the NAFLD group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant [(12.36±2.45) vs. (18.33±3.71) ng/mL, P<0.001]. When the plasma CERK level of the fasting plasma was elevated, the risk of NAFLD decreased [OR=0.30, 95%CI (0.12, 0.78), P=0.014]. The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in the NAFLD group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (2.46±2.53 vs. 1.11±0.66, P=0.002). The Matsuda index in the NAFLD group was less than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (5.88±4.09 vs. 10.46±7.90, P=0.002). When HOMA-IR increased, the risk of NAFLD increased [OR=2.75, 95%CI (2.49, 3.12), P=0.036]. Conclusions Plasma GLP-1 level is not a sensitive indicator of chronic inflammation and IR in patients with NAFLD. Patients with NAFLD are in an increased risk of atherosclerosis and CVD. It suggests that NAFLD might be involved in chronic inflammation and IR. Chronic inflammation can cause IR, and then chronic inflammation and IR can cause NAFLD and subclinical atherosclerosis. In return for this, NAFLD increases chronic inflammation and IR.
ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. MethodsMedical examination data of healthy physical examination participates who underwent carbon 14 urea breath test for detection of HP and abdominal ultrasound examination between March and June 2015 were analyzed. Cross sectional analysis was carried out. Based on the diagnostic criteria of NAFLD, the subjects were divided into two groups: NAFLD group and normal control group. HP infection was compared between the two groups. Logistics regression analysis was performed to analyze the relationship between HP infection and NAFLD. ResultsThe proportion of men, age, weight, body mass index (BMI), waistline, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase, glutamyl transferase, albumin, fasting blood-glucose (GLU), total cholesterol triacylglycerol (TG), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and blood pressure were all significantly higher in the NAFLD group than the control group (P < 0.05), while height and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol were significantly lower in the NAFLD group (P < 0.05). The detection rate of NAFLD in males was higher than that in females. The detection rates of NAFLD in different age groups were significantly different, and the highest detection rate of NAFLD was in the age group of 50-59 years old (P < 0.05). The rate of HP infection was not significantly different in subjects of different ages and genders (P > 0.05). The rate of HP infection in the NAFLD group was significantly higher than those of the control group in age groups of 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 70-79 years old (P < 0.05). The logistic regression analysis revealed that age, HP infection, TG, ALT, BMI, GLU, and diastolic pressure were correlated with NAFLD (P < 0.05). ConclusionHP infection may be a risk factor in the development of NAFLD.
PURPOSE:To investigale the influence of orally administered aldose reduetace inhibitor(ARI) and myo-inositol (MI)for contents of gluecose,sorbitol and myo-inositol in experimental diabetic retinal tissue in rat. METHODS :The STZ-induced diabetic rats were administered ARI or MI by oral. The glucose sorbitol and myo-inositol in retinal tissues were analysed by high performance liquid chromatography after experimental period of 6 montbs. RESULTS:It was found that the contents of glucose and sorhitol were increased and myo inosltol was decreased in diabetic group. In diabetes with ARI group.the content of sorbitol was increased although the glucose was in high level. In diabetes wilb MI group,the sorbitol accumulaled and coment of myo-inositol was close to the normal control group. CONCLUSIONS:The ARI can effectively obstruct sorbitol accumulation in retina. MI increase myo-inositol level but fail to reduce sorbitol contenl of retina. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1997,13: 75-77 ）
ObjectiveTo summarize the epidemiology of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the epidemiological and economic burdens of NAFLD, so as to provide a reference for hospital management decision-making. MethodThe domestic and foreign guidelines relevant to NAFLD and the literatures relevant to epidemiological investigation and disease burden researches were summarized and its research progress was reviewed. ResultsThe global prevalence of NAFLD was increasing over years. The incidence, mortality, and disability adjusted life years of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer caused by NAFLD had increased year by year. The patients relevant to NAFLD of inpatients and outpatients had increased obviously, and the overall medical expenses had also shown a rising trend. The possible reasons were health care awareness, new drug research, population aging, and excessive medical consumption. In addition, children and adolescents with NAFLD had a obviously increased risk of liver or extrahepatic diseases. ConclusionsBy understanding the epidemiological trend of NAFLD, it is a certain understanding of the disease burden of NAFLD and the related factors affecting the increase of its treatment cost. It is believed that it is necessary to further pay attention to and strengthen the genetic characteristics, pathogenesis, drug research and development, and early diagnosis of cirrhosis and liver cancer relevant to NAFLD in the future. At the same time, the NAFLD group of children and adolescents should not be ignored.
To evaluate the cytocompatibil ity of Arg-Gly-Asp-recombinant spider silk protein (pNSR16) / poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) through in vitro cytotoxicity experiment and cell-material co-culture experiment. Methods pNSR16/PVA scaffold and its extraction were prepared by using solvent casting/particulate leaching method, and NIH-3T3 cells were cultivated with the extraction in vitro. The cytotoxicity of scaffold was analyzed using MTT assay 1, 3 and 5 days after culture. Scanning electron microscope and HE staining observation were conducted 2, 4 and 6 days after culturing NIH-3T3 cells on the pNSR16/PVA scaffold. Immunohistochemistry detection was performed 6 days after co-culture. Adhesion, growthand expression of the cells on the scaffold were observed. Results The cytotoxicity of pNSR16/PVA scaffold was in grade 0. Scanning electron microscope observation: the cells covered the surface of the scaffold and were arranged in a directional manner 4 days after co-culture. HE staining: the cells adhered to and grew on the surface of scaffold, and migrated into the scaffold with the increase of culture duration. Immunohistochemistry detection: bFGF was secreted by NIH-3T3 cells, and the cells differentiated normally. Conclusion pNSR16/PVA scaffold has a satisfactory cytocompatibil ity and may be an ideal tissue engineered scaffold materia

ObjectiveTo summarize the changes of gut microbiota after cholecystectomy, the mechanisms of changes, and the relation with colorectal cancer, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and post-cholecystectomy syndrome after cholecystectomy, in order to provide new ideas for the perioperative management of patients undergoing cholecystectomy. MethodThe studies related to gut microbiota after cholecystectomy at home and abroad were searched and analyzed for review. ResultsThe cholecystectomy disrupted the liver–bile acid–gut flora axis of the patients, and the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota of the patients were altered, and the alteration might lead to the occurrence of colorectal cancer, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and post-cholecystectomy syndrome, but the exact mechanism remained unclear. ConclusionsThe balance of intestinal microecology is disrupted after cholecystectomy, and the relation between cholecystectomy and gut microbiota may provide new ideas for the perioperative management of cholecystectomy patients and the prevention and treatment of diseases or symptoms after cholecystectomy, but the effect of cholecystectomy on gut microbiota and the relation with diseases or symptoms still need to be further studied.

Methods : A total of 36 male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups, who were fed with highfat diet (experimental group, n=24) and normal basic food (normal control, n=12) respectively. At the end of the 12th week, the experimental group was randomly divided into two subgroups: model group and ecdysterone group, each group contained 12 rats. From the 13th week, the rats in the normal control group and model group were lavaged with normal sodium, and the rats in the ecdysterone group were lavaged with ecdysterone at 10 mg·kg-1·d-1. At the end of the 16th week, all rats were weighed, narcotized, sacrificed, and the liver index, biochemical indicators in serum and liver tissues and the hepatic pathological changes were observed. The expression of TNFα was detected by ELISA and the expression of NFκB was measured by immunohistochemical staining. Results : At the end 16th week in ecdysterone group, the serum levels of cholesterol (TC), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were reduced markedly (212±058 vs 263±024 and 5336±1848 vs 8460±3627, both P＜005; 14020±3595 vs 24359±3638, P＜001); the tissue content of malondialdehyde (MDA) was decreased evidently (18454±1645 vs 23928±2376, P＜001), while the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was enhanced notably (942±052 vs 518±043, P＜001); the liver index was decreased significantly in comparison with that inmodel group (435±037 vs 504±046, P＜001); the degree of fatty degeneration and inflammation were relieved dramatically (546±037 vs 630±049, P＜001). The expression of TNFα and the levels of NFκB were significantly lower (4304±748 vs 6156±727 and 2465±539 vs 4504±746, both P＜001) in ecdysterone group compared with model group. Conclusion : The effects of ecdysterone in preventing NAFLD in rats could be related to the increase of SOD content in hepatic tissue and the decrease of MDA content, tumor necrosis factorα and NFκB.
