Objective: Data on dietary patterns in relation to the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in a middle-aged Chinese population are sparse. The present study was performed to determine the major dietary patterns among a population aged 45-59 years and to evaluate their associations with MetS risk in China.
Design: Cross-sectional examination of the association between dietary patterns and MetS.
Background/aims: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are rare neoplasms which arise from pancreatic islet cells. Recently, lncRNA MEG3 has been reported as a tumor suppressor in variety cancers. This study aimed to reveal the functional effects of MEG3 on pNETs which has not been uncovered previously.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how different inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and L-arginine affect survival rates in a rat model of traumatic shock.
- Researchers used a rat model with a hindlimb fracture and administered various treatments during resuscitation, measuring both survival time and rates.
- Results showed that the selective iNOS inhibitor (AG) and L-arginine significantly improved survival time and rates compared to the control and non-selective NOS inhibitor (L-NAME), indicating potential benefits in treating traumatic shock.
[L-arginine decreases P-selectin expression in traumatic shock].
Di Yi Jun Yi Da Xue Xue Bao
August 2003
Objective: To investigate the changes of P-selectin distribution in the vital organs and plasma during traumatic shock and explore the significance of these changes.
Methods: Twenty-four normal SD rats were randomly assigned into 3 groups (n=8), namely traumatic shock group, L-arginine (L-Arg) treatment and control group. The rats in the former 2 groups were subjected to traumatic shock with L-Arg treatment group given 100 mg/kg L-Arg during resuscitation while the other receiving no medication.
Effects of TNP-470 on proliferation and apoptosis in human colon cancer xenografts in nude mice.
World J Gastroenterol
February 2003
Aim: To study the effect of TNP-470 on cell growth, proliferation and apoptosis in human colon cancer xenografts in nude mice.
Methods: Human colon cancer xenografts were transplanted into 20 nude mice. Mice were randomly divided into two groups.
[Therapeutic effect of L-arginine on traumatic shock in rats].
Di Yi Jun Yi Da Xue Xue Bao
January 2003
Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of L-arginine (L-Arg) on traumatic shock in rats and explore the possible mechanisms.
Methods: Rat models of traumatic shock were established in Sprague-Daulay rats, which were randomly divided into two groups either to receive L-Arg treatment or not. The plasma concentration of endothelin (ET) and oxygen partial pressure in the tissues from the skeletal muscles, liver and small intestine were measured before and after the shock and 1, 3, and 5 h after resuscitation.
Dynamic changes in serum level of nitric oxide and its mechanisms in rats with traumatic shock.
Di Yi Jun Yi Da Xue Xue Bao
October 2002
Objective: To investigate the dynamic changes of serum nitric oxide (NO) level and its mechanisms in rats in traumatic shock.
Methods: Rat models of traumatic shock were established by fracturing the posterior limb of the rats. Serum levels of nitrate/nitrite were measured with the method described by Griess.
