RESUMO A doença periodontal (DP) é uma doença inflamatória oral e a perda óssea alveolar é seu sinal mais importante. No entanto, os efeitos do exercício sobre os fatores inflamatórios e a perda óssea alveolar em indivíduos com DP têm sido pouco estudados. Esta metanálise avalia o efeito do exercício físico sobre a perda óssea alveolar (POA) e o perfil inflamatório da DP em modelos animais. Estudos relevantes publicados até julho de 2020 em PubMed, Medline, Embase e Web of Science foram pesquisados depois de desenvolver a pesquisa com o método PICO. A avaliação da qualidade e o risco de viés foram analisados de acordo com o protocolo SYRCLE. Um total de 52 referências foram recuperadas, quatro das quais foram consideradas elegíveis para inclusão. Um total de 34 ratos Wistar machos dos estudos incluídos foram avaliados quanto à perda de osso alveolar e avaliados quanto ao perfil inflamatório. Os resultados indicaram que o exercício físico pode reduzir a perda de osso alveolar (IC 95% -2,85 a -0,82, p = 0,002) e o fator de necrose tumoral pró-inflamatório-α (TNFα) no soro ou tecido gengival (IC 95% -0,45 a -0,24, p < 0,00001). Inversamente, o exercício aumentou a interleucina-10 anti-inflamatória (IL-10) no soro ou no tecido gengival (IC 95% 0,28 a 0,69, p < 0,00001). Contudo, um estudo relatou resultado negativo na expressão de TNFα e IL-10. As evidências atuais indicam que o exercício físico contribui para melhorar a DP, reduzindo a perda de osso alveolar e a inflamação em modelos animais de DP, o que sugere que o exercício moderado pode ser implementado na prática clínica para manter a saúde periodontal.

ABSTRACT Periodontal disease (PD) is an inflammatory oral disease and alveolar bone loss is the most important sign of PD. However, the effects of exercise on inflammatory factors and alveolar bone loss in individuals with PD have been little studied. This meta-analysis assesses the effect of physical exercise on alveolar bone loss (ABL) and the inflammatory profile of PD in animal models. Relevant studies published through July 2020 in PubMed, Medline, Embase and Web of Science were searched after developing a PICOS statement. Quality assessment and risk of bias were analyzed according to the SYRCLE protocol. A total of 52 references were retrieved, 4 of which were considered eligible for inclusion. A total of thirty-four male Wistar rats from the included studies were evaluated for alveolar bone loss and assessed for inflammatory profile. The results indicated that physical exercise could reduce alveolar bone loss (95% CI -2.85 to -0.82, p = 0.002) and the pro-inflammatory tumor necrosis factor–α (TNF-α) in serum or gingival tissue (95% CI -0.45 to -0.24, p < 0.00001). Inversely, exercise increased anti-inflammatory interleukin–10 (IL-10) in serum or gingival tissue (95% CI 0.28 to 0.69, p < 0.00001). However, one study reported a negative result in the expression of TNF-α and IL-10. Current evidence indicates that physical exercise contributes to ameliorate PD by reducing alveolar bone loss and inflammation in animal PD models, which suggests that moderate exercise can be implemented in clinical practice to maintain periodontal health.

RESUMEN La enfermedad periodontal (EP) es una enfermedad inflamatoria oral y la pérdida de hueso alveolar es su signo más importante. Sin embargo, los efectos del ejercicio sobre los factores inflamatorios y la pérdida ósea alveolar en individuos con EP han sido poco estudiados. Este meta-análisis evalúa el efecto del ejercicio sobre la pérdida ósea alveolar (POA) y el perfil inflamatorio de la EP en modelos animales. Se llevaron a cabo estudios relevantes publicados hasta julio de 2020 en PubMed, Medline, Embase y Web of Science tras desarrollar la investigación con el método PICO. La evaluación de la calidad y el riesgo de sesgo se analizaron según el protocolo SYRCLE. Se recuperó un total de 52 referencias, cuatro de las cuales se consideraron elegibles para su inclusión. En un total de 34 ratas Wistar macho de los estudios incluidos se evaluó la pérdida de hueso alveolar y el perfil inflamatorio. Los resultados indicaron que el ejercicio puede reducir la pérdida de hueso alveolar (IC del 95%: -2,85 a -0,82; p = 0,002) y el factor de necrosis tumoral proinflamatorio-α (TNFα) en suero o tejido gingival (IC del 95%: -0,45 a -0,24; p < 0,00001). Por el contrario, el ejercicio aumentó la interleucina-10 (IL-10) antiinflamatoria en el suero o en el tejido gingival (IC del 95%: 0,28 a 0,69; p < 0,00001). Sin embargo, un estudio informó de un resultado negativo en la expresión de TNFα e IL-10. Las pruebas actuales indican que el ejercicio contribuye a mejorar la EP al reducir la pérdida de hueso alveolar y la inflamación en modelos animales de EP, lo que sugiere que se puede implementar el ejercicio moderado en la práctica clínica para mantener la salud periodontal.

Abstract Schisandra chinensis polysaccharide (SCP) is extracted from a well-known traditional Chinese medicine Schisandra chinensis (SC). We purified a new compound and would like to analyze the effect of SCP on oxidative stress (OS) in vitro. SCP was identified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and infrared spectrum (IR). The effect of SCP on cell proliferation, activity of oxidative and anti-oxidative index superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), malonaldehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), protein expression of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and its down-stream factors expression, stability of Nrf2, and binding activity of Nrf2 with DNA were tested using different methods in 293T cells. The result showed that SCP enhanced the cell proliferation of 293T cells, the contents of GSH and CAT, and the activity of SOD, while decreased the content of MDA. In addition, SCP promoted the transfer of Nrf2 from cytoplasm to nucleus, the binding activity of Nrf2 with DNA, the stability of Nrf2 protein, and prolonged the half-life of Nrf2. SCP showed a strong anti-oxidative activity and activation of the Nrf2 pathway, indicating that SCP had the potential to be developed into the natural anti-oxidant in the future.

Background: In recent years, obesity has become the major public health problems worldwide. The detection rate of obesity is alarmingly rising among children and adolescents in China, whose population of 120 million are in range of obesity. It was estimated that 8% of her children are obese. Methods: Publications between 2009 and 2014 on the obesity prevalence among primary school students in China were retrieved from PubMed, online Chinese periodical full-text databases of VIP, CNKI and Wanfang. Meta Analyst software was used to sum up and analyze the detection rates included in the previously retrieved literatures. Results: After evaluation of the quality of the articles, 18 papers were finally included in our study, and the total sample sizes on the obesity investigation were 247547, in which 26466 were obesity. Meta-analysis findings showed that the pooled prevalence of obesity in primary school students is 10.0 %( 95% CI: 7.2%-13.5%). Conclusion: Our results indicated that the obesity prevalence status in China was still troublesome, for the situation will go worse if we currently fail to take effective and practical measures.

Introducción: En los últimos años, la obesidad se ha convertido en el principal problema de salud pública a nivel mundial. La tasa de detección de obesidad infantil está creciendo alarmantemente entre los niños y los adolescentes en China, cuya población de 120 millones se sitúa en el rango de obesidad. Se calculó que el 8% de los niños son obesos. Métodos: Se recopilaron publicaciones entre 2009 y 2014 sobre la prevalencia de obesidad entre los alumnos de primaria en China de PubMed, textos completos de bases de datos de periódicos chinos online de VIP, CNKI y Wanfang. Se empleó software de meta-análisis para resumir y analizar las tasas de detección incluidas en la bibliografía previamente obtenida. Resultados: Después de la evaluación de la calidad de los artículos, finalmente incluimos 18 artículos en nuestro estudio, y los tamaños de la muestra total en la investigación sobre obesidad fueron 247547, donde 26466 presentaron obesidad. Los resultados de los meta-análisis mostraron que la prevalencia de la obesidad en los alumnos de primaria es del 10,0% (IC del 95%: 7,2% - 13,5%). Conclusión: Nuestros resultados indican que la prevalencia de obesidad en China todavía supone un problema preocupante, dado que la situación será peor si no se toman medidas eficaces y prácticas.

To further reveal the reactivity of cyclopropenylidene with R-H compounds, mechanisms of four reactions between cyclopropenylidene and R-H (R=F, OH, NH2, CH3) have been systematically investigated employing the second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) method. Geometry optimization, vibrational analysis, and energy property for the involved stationary points on the potential energy surface have been calculated. All the mechanisms of four reactions are identical to each other. Based on the calculated results, there are three steps (step a, b, and c) along the reaction between cyclopropenylidene and R-H. For the first step, cyclopropenylidene is inserted into R-H to form an three-membered ring intermediate. For the second step, the three-membered ring is opened to form a carbene intermediate. With regard to the third step, it is H-transfered processes, the ultimate product is alkyne.

Y chromosomal STRs show sufficient variability among individduals in a population and a high degree of geographical differentiation, such that their polymorphic character makes them especially suited for population genetic studies. To investígate the polymorphism of a set of 17 Y-STR loci in northern China, we genotyped the 17 Y chromosomal STR loci in a population sample of 377 unrelated males from eight ethnic populations in northern China. We calculated the haplotype frequencies, Rst value and carried out the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA). We then drew the multidimensional scaling analysis (MDS) plot and phylogenetic tree based on the Rst value. All populations showed a high level of haplotype diversity, with low inter-population variance as measured by an analysis of molecular variance. However, the genetic distances were significant when the eight populations were compared to other populations. By MDS and the phylogenetic tree, we found that the eight populations had a close relationship and Xibo had a northeast origination.
