睫状神经营养因子对应激大鼠体质量的影响及其机制探讨

①目的　探讨睫状神经营养因子 (CNTF)对躯体性和心理性应激大鼠体质量的影响及其与下丘脑促肾上腺皮质素释放激素 (CRH)含量的关系。②方法　建立应激大鼠动物模型 ,应用鼠脑立体定向方法 ,在应激前给予大鼠双侧海马微量注射CNTF ,称量大鼠应激前后的体质量变化 ,并用放射免疫分析法测定大鼠下丘脑CRH含量的变化。③结果　在应激前及应激期间给予双侧海马微量注射CNTF ,可以有效改善应激引起的大鼠体质量的下降 (t=2 .16 3.86 ,P <0 .0 5 ,0 .0 1) ,改善应激引起的下丘脑CRH含量的升高 (t=3.0 5 4.0 3,P <0 .0 1)。④结论　CNTF可以改善应激对大鼠生长的损害 ,其机制可能与CNTF降低应激大鼠下丘脑CRH的含量有关。     

中国女性青年人体惯性参数的CT—图像分析法测定及其回归方程的研究

采用CT成像和图像分析技术，在尸体研究的基础上，对50例女性样本（18～23岁）进行全身CT横断层扫描、图像分析和测算以及建立数学模型等方面的研究。获得了人体的质量分布、质心位置和转动惯量等惯性参数。据此，建立了直接计算中国女性青年人体各环节惯性参数的二元回归方程。为中国人体运动学和动力学研究提供了基础数据；也为运动员的选材提供了有力的手段。

The Genetics of Obesity: What Have Genetic Studies Told Us About the Environment

Genetic studies have shown that both childhood and adult body mass index are substantially heritable. The evidence for shared family environmental influences is largely absent, even though there are clear indications that secular changes in energy expenditure have brought about a significant increase in the prevalence of obesity. This apparent inconsistency may be explained by the dual phenomena of the near-universality of access to environments that facilitate reductions in energy expenditure (e.g., TV as a recreational pastime), together with heritable individual differences in the response to or utilization of these environments. The impact of changes in nonshared environments on body weight can be estimated from biometrical genetical studies and is found to be both small and relatively short-lived. Genetic and environmental results from longitudinal studies are consistent with what is known about the changing distribution of adiposity during adulthood and clinical experience of the difficulty of maintaining behavioral-induced weight loss.
