Ultrasonographic Evaluation in Plantar Fasciitis

The heels of 23 patients who were diagnosed with unilateral/bilateral plantar fasciitis were evaluated via ultrasonography and compared with their asymptomatic feet and a control group of 23 people. Plantar fascial thickness, echogenity, and heel pad thickness were evaluated, and the results were statistically analyzed. For symptomatic feet, increased thickness of the fascia and reduced echogenity were constant ultrasonographic findings (mean, 4.79 mm for symptomatic feet; 2.17 mm for control group, P < .05). No significant difference was found between heel pads of the diseased and healthy feet (mean, 12.96 mm for symptomatic feet; 13.10 mm for control group; P > .05). Ultrasonography seems to be a valuable, noninvasive diagnostic tool for the evaluation of plantar fasciitis.     

豆番粉与玉米粉对人体血糖胰岛素胰升血糖素的影响

目的探讨豆番粉和玉米粉对人体餐后血糖、胰岛素、胰升血糖素的影响。方法选择Ⅱ型糖尿病人、肥胖人、健康人，ｄ１均进食面粉，ｄ２随机进食豆番粉或玉米粉，测量２ｄ的空腹血糖及餐后３０、６０、１２０、１８０ｍｉｎ各５个时点的血糖、胰岛素、胰升血糖素值。结果糖尿病人进食豆番粉后６０、１２０、１８０ｍｉｎ的血糖值低于进食面粉，Ｐ分别＜０．０１、０．０１、０．０５；进食玉米粉后１２０、１８０ｍｉｎ血糖值低于面粉，Ｐ＜０．０５。２种实验食物的血糖增值面积均低于面粉，Ｐ＜０．０５；进食豆番粉后各时点胰岛素值、胰升血糖素值明显低于进食面粉，Ｐ＜０．０５或＜０．０１；进食玉米粉后同时点胰岛素值与面粉相比无显著性差异，胰升糖素值３０、１２０ｍｉｎ有显著性差异。肥胖人进食豆番粉后血糖值与面粉相比无显著性差异，但胰岛素值、胰升血糖素值有明显下降，各时点值Ｐ均＜０．０５。结论①豆番粉血糖指数低，可控制餐后高血糖状态，不增加胰岛素、胰升血糖素分泌，可减轻胰岛素抵抗。②玉米粉血糖曲线增值面积、低于面粉，可作为糖尿病人选择的食品，对改善胰岛素抵抗也有较好的作用。     

The assessment of in vitro modulation of milk fat globule membrane expression by human breast carcinomas

Although knowledge of functional differentiation and tumour-associated changes of breast carcinomas can be gained by the application of antibodies directed against the milk fat globule membrane, more significant information may be obtained by assessment of the potential of breast carcinomas to modulate their antigenic phenotype. In this study, the extend to which primary tumours can undergo modulation in vitro has been investigated, with consideration of the suitability of organ culture in combination with the immunohistochemical detection of two milk fat globule membrane epitopes, HMFG1 and HMFG2, as methods for detecting this. The preservation of three of the 30 carcinomas assessed, all poorly differentiated, was poor after 3 days of culture. The viability of the other 27 was variable, and was greater in the better differentiated tumours and with the addition of insulin. Expression of the milk fat globule membrane epitopes was generally well maintained. Six of the carcinomas showed a significant change in antigen expression, with this being more frequent in tissues incubated with insulin. Hence, a small group of carcinomas have been identified which appear to have a greater capacity to undergo functional differentiation. Organ culture is considered to be a suitable method for maintaining the tissues in vitro for such evaluation, but the problems encountered in quantifying the immunohistochemical staining, because of antigenic heterogeneity, were such that it is suggested that other approaches be employed.

Role of dietary fat in calorie intake and weight gain

This paper reviews the literature on the role of dietary fat in calorie intake and body weight gain in humans and laboratory animals. An overview of 40 animal studies which compared growth on high-fat (HF) and high-carbohydrate (HC) solid/powdered diets indicated that the HF diet elicited greater weight gain in 33 out of 40 studies. Enhanced growth on the HF diet was often, but not exclusively, attributable to greater caloric intake. Additional evidence for the growth-enhancing effect of HF diets emerges from "diet option" and "supermarket" feeding studies in rats, and experimental and epidemiological studies in humans. Three principal factors that contribute to the different responses to HF and HC diets are (a) caloric density, (b) sensory properties and palatability, and (c) postabsorptive processing. It is concluded that both calorie intake and metabolic energy expenditure are biased towards weight gain when a HF diet is consumed, and that the high caloric density of high-fat diets plays a primary role in weight gain. Humans may be biologically predisposed to gain weight when a HF diet is consumed.
