RESUMEN

Background/Aims@#Previous studies have shown that diet and physical activity can influence constipation. However, the combined effect of diet and physical activity on constipation remains unclear. @*Methods@#Constipation was defined based on stool consistency and frequency, while overall diet quality was assessed using Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 scores. Participants were categorized into low (metabolic equivalent [MET]-min/wk < 500) and high physical activitygroups (MET-min/wk ≥ 500). The association between diet and constipation across physical activity groups was analyzed using surveylogistic regression and restricted cubic splines. @*Results@#Higher HEI-2015 scores were associated with reduced constipation risk in the high physical activity group when constipation was defined by stool consistency (odds ratio [OR], 0.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.97-0.99). However, in the low physical activity group, increased HEI-2015 scores did not significantly affect constipation risk (OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.97-1.05). Similar results were found when constipation was defined based on stool frequency. In the high physical activity group, increased HEI-2015 scores were significantly associated with a reduced constipation risk (OR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.94-0.98). Conversely, in the low physical activity group, increased HEI-2015 scores did not affect the risk of constipation (OR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.90-1.03). @*Conclusions@#Our findings suggest that a higher HEI-2015 score is negatively associated with constipation among individuals with high physical activity levels but not among those with low physical activity levels. This association was consistent when different definitions of constipation were used. These results highlight the importance of combining healthy diet with regular physical activity to alleviate constipation.

RESUMEN

Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) is a critical maternal complication in some pre-eclampsia (PE) and nearly all eclampsia patients; RPLS is associated with high blood pressure (BP). However, the effect of BP on RPLS and the different characteristics of RPLS in PE or eclampsia are largely unknown. We consecutively collected data from 69 patients who were diagnosed with RPLS in PE or eclampsia between 2013 and 2017. The BP and biochemical indicators at onset and post onset of RPLS were examined to explore their likely correlation with RPLS. We grouped patients into PE (n=40) and eclampsia (n=29) groups according to whether a seizure had occurred. Information regarding BP, clinical symptoms and imaging features was collected retrospectively to explore the differences between groups. BP measurements (moderate and severe hypertension, systolic pressure (SBP), diastolic pressure (DBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) levels) and biochemical indicators (uric acid, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), C-reactive protein and WBC) were higher at the onset of RPLS than post-onset of RPLS (P<0.001), whereas normal BP and serum albumin levels were lower (P<0.001). Moreover, the BP values (SBP, DBP and MAP) and LDH levels were significantly correlated with the degree of edema (Spearman's correlation, P<0.01). These results suggest that hypertension and LDH are likely factors in the development of RPLS in PE or eclampsia. Moreover, BP and LDH were closely related to the degree of brain edema, However, no significant differences were found between the PE and eclampsia groups with the exception of age and consciousness impairment.

RESUMEN

Objective To observe insulin synthesis and secretion in INS-1 under high glucose, and to clarify the effect of PTH1R. Methods After successful construction of recombinant PTH1R-siRNA vectors in INS-1 cell, insulin secretion and intracellular insulin content of control group, siPTH1R-Negative control group, PTHrP group, and siPTH1R group under 25 mmol/L glucose were measured by radioimmunoassay in INS-1 cell. Intracellular calcium were detected by Fluo-3/AM and the capability of glucose transport was calculated by assaying the uptake of [3H]-2-deoxy-D-glucose in cells.Results Compared with control group, and siPTH1R-NC group, PTHrP group showed increased capability of insulin secretion; PTHrP group had higher intracellular insulin levels than others; PTHrP group showed increased intracellular calcium; the uptake of [3H]-2-deoxy-D-glucose under high glucose after 48h of PTHrP group was increased(all P＜0.01). Conclusion There is a close relationship between PTH1R activation and insulin secretion and synthesis, PTH1R activation may be one of the protective mechanisms in maintaining function of β-cell under high glucose.
