Effects of heat treatment on the antigenicity of four milk proteins in milk protein concentrates

The effects of heat treatment on the antigenicity and potential allergenicity of α-Lactalbumin (α-LA), β-Lactoglobulin (β-LG), α-casein (α-CN), and β-casein (β-CN) in milk protein concentrates (MPCs) were investigated at temperatures in the range of 65–100°C for times from 10 to 30?min. The antigenicity and potential allergenicity of α-LA decreased significantly. The antigenicity of β-LG was sharply increased throughout the heat treatment, while the potential allergenicity decreased significantly only at 85°C and 100°C for 25?min. The antigenicity of α-CN and β-CN showed fluctuated changes, but were all lower than untreated sample. The α-CN potential allergenicity decreased when heated at 65°C and 70°C for 25?min. Compared with untreated sample, the potential allergenicity of β-CN increased sharply after heat treatment. The results showed that different proteins in the MPCs showed different sensitivities under heat treatment.

Sun‐exposure knowledge and protection behavior in a North Chinese population: a questionnaire‐based study

Background: Sun exposure can cause a range of skin disorders. Skin damage can be prevented by following certain sun‐protection measures. However, the majority of reported studies regarding sun‐exposure knowledge and behavior have involved Caucasian populations. Methods: A self‐administered multiple‐choice questionnaire was administered. The questionnaire consisted of 13 questions aimed at evaluating people's knowledge, awareness, and protection behavior regarding sun exposure, and their knowledge of sunscreens and sunscreen use. Results: A total of 623 volunteers were enrolled, including 238 men (38.2%) and 385 women (61.8%). The percentages of correct answers regarding sun‐exposure knowledge and awareness ranged from 50% to 80%. Overall, 58.8% used sunscreen as a sun‐protection measure in daily life, followed by use of protective clothes (49.3%), sun umbrella (45.4%), sunglasses (45.3%), and hat (42.2%). Fifty‐two percent thought that suntan was harmful or not attractive. The mean sun‐protection factor (SPF) of the sunscreens used was 27.7 ± 9.2 and the mean UVA protection grade (PA) was 2.3 ± 0.6. Conclusions: Knowledge and awareness concerning the harmful effects of sun exposure are widespread among the Chinese population. Sunscreens with high SPF and PA are the most commonly used among Chinese people. Clear sex differences were observed. There is a significant difference in the attitude toward suntan between Chinese and Caucasian populations.

Sex differences in the regulation of body weight

Obesity and its associated health disorders and costs are increasing. Males and females differ in terms of how and where body fat is stored, the hormones they secrete in proportion to their fat, and the way their brains respond to signals that regulate body fat. Fat accumulation in the intra-abdominal adipose depot is associated with the risk for developing cardiovascular problems, type-2 diabetes mellitus, certain cancers and other disorders. Men and postmenopausal women accumulate more fat in the intra-abdominal depot than do pre-menopausal women, and therefore have a greater risk of developing metabolic complications associated with obesity. The goal of this review is to explore what we know about sexual dimorphisms in adipose tissue accrual and deposition. Elucidating the mechanisms by which sex hormones may modulate the way in which fat is accumulated and stored is a critical area of research due to the prevalence of obesity and the metabolic syndrome, and the rapid increase in propensity for these diseases following menopause.

牵张成骨中植入物的临床应用特点

目的:阐述在领骨的牵张成骨过程中植入物的临床应用进展,并评价其生物相容性.方法:检索者为第一作者,分别以"颌骨,牵张成骨,治疗"和"Jaw,distraction osteogenesis,treatment"为检索词,在中国期刊全文数据库(CNKI:1989/2009)和Medline database数据库(1989/2009),采用电子检索的方式进行文献检索,共检索到56篇文章,按纳入和排除标准对文献进行筛选,共纳入20篇文章.从牵张成骨的治疗进展进行总结,对牵张成骨植入物的临床应用进展进行探讨.结果:牵张成骨植入物分为口内牵张器和口外牵张器,可进行转移盘的牵引.牵张器的选择应根据患者颅面骨具体情况而定,并符合患者的需要.牵张成骨己成为国内外口腔腔面外科及正畸处理诸多复杂牙颌面畸形、颌骨缺损等的重要手段.其与各种全身治疗、局部治疗和物理治疗等的联合应用可更有效的发挥成骨作用.目前牵张成骨植入物主要由金属材料构成.金属植入物在预防细菌滋生,保证植入物的牢固及牵引效应的发挥方面有很大优势,价格普遍昂贵.其中镍钛要忆合金丝成本较一般成品牵引器低的多.其固定装置及合金丝紧贴骨面,可完全植入组织内,且具有抗感染,可完全关闭内外伤口等优点.结论:牵张成骨是临床治疗牙颌面发育不足排齐牙齿及整复颌骨缺损畸形的行之有效的新方法. 金属材料植入物如植入小型的镍钦记忆合金丝的生物相容性较好.其他类型植入物的生物相容性有待提高.     

Prevalence and characteristics of psoriatic arthritis in Chinese patients with psoriasis

Background The prevalence and clinical characteristics of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with psoriasis vary widely in different countries and studies on Chinese population are rarely reported. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of PsA in a Chinese population of patients with psoriasis. Methods A large cross‐sectional observational study was conducted in our outpatient dermatology department and consecutive psoriatic patients were evaluated for PsA according to Classification of Psoriatic arthritis (CASPAR) criteria. Demographic and medical parameters were recorded. Results Among 1928 patients with psoriasis, 112 patients (5.8%) had PsA, of which 92% was newly diagnosed. Oligoarthritis (48.2%) was the most common manifestation pattern, followed by spondylitis (26.8%), polyarthritis (19.6%) and classic distal interphalangeal (DIP) arthritis (5.4%). Enthesitis was present in 26.8% and dactylitis in 13.4% of the patients. Compared with patients without PsA, patients with PsA had more severe skin disease (mean PASI 9.7 vs. 6.0), higher frequency of nail changes (46.4% vs. 21.0%) and scalp involvement (90.2% vs. 76.4%). Conclusion The findings are consistent with a low prevalence of PsA among patients with psoriasis in Asia and confirm a high percentage of undiagnosed cases with active arthritis among PsA patients in dermatologist’s office. Dermatologists should screen for PsA in their patients, especially those with risk characteristics and early signs.
