The current study investigated the effects of chronic training and pinealectomy on the lipogenic and lipolytic activity of adipose tissue. Pinealectomized and sham-operated adult male Wistar rats were distributed in to four subgroups: pinealectomized untrained, pinealectomized trained, control untrained and control trained. At the end of the training period (8 wk) the rats were killed. Blood samples were collected for glucose, insulin and leptin determinations. Peri-epididymal adipocytes were isolated for measurement of in vitro rates of lipolysis and incorporation of substrates (D-[U-14C]-glucose, L-[U-14C]-lactate, [2-14C]-acetate and [1-14C]-palmitate) into lipids, and samples of epididymal adipose tissue were homogenized for evaluation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase maximal activity. Pinealectomy resulted in a significantly increased lipolytic capacity in response to isoproterenol and a decrease in circulating leptin levels without affecting the rates of incorporation of different substrates into lipids. However, only in the intact control group did training promote a higher basal and isoproterenol-stimulated lipolysis, increase the incorporation of palmitate (esterification), decrease the incorporation of acetate (lipogenesis) into lipids and diminish circulating leptin levels. These effects of exercise training were not seen in pinealectomized rats. However, pinealectomized trained animals showed a marked reduction in lipolysis and an increased rate of acetate incorporation. In conclusion, we demonstrated for the first time that the pineal gland plays an important role in the regulation of lipid metabolism in such a way that its absence caused a severe alteration in the balance between lipogenesis and lipolysis, which becomes evident with the adaptation to exercise training. 相似文献

The Dutch health care system is characterized by a strong emphasis on primary care. To get insight into the strengths and gaps in end-of-life care in the Netherlands, data are needed about use and patient evaluation of end-of-life care. We assessed the experiences of patients with end-of-life care during the last months of life. We followed 128 patients with incurable lung, breast, ovarian, colorectal or prostate cancer. At inclusion they were interviewed personally at home. During follow-up, every 6 months, we asked them to fill out a questionnaire on the end-of-life care they had received. One-hundred of them died during the research period. Eighty-seven of the deceased patients were able to fill out a questionnaire in the last 6 months of their lives. They reported that, on average, 4.2 disciplines were involved in their care. Most patients indicated to be satisfied with the care offered by their caregivers. Problems in end-of-life care concerned communication, difficulties in coordination, accessibility of end-of-life care and responding quickly to acute problems. We conclude that comprehensive and interdisciplinary end-of-life care may address patients' needs, but that it simultaneously is a challenge to optimal communication among disciplines and between caregivers and the patient. 相似文献

The current study emphasizes the crucial role of the pineal gland on the effects of chronic training in different tissues focusing on carbohydrate metabolism. We investigated the maximal oxygen uptake (aerobic power), muscle and liver glycogen content, and also the enzymes involved in the carbohydrate metabolism of rat adipose tissue. Pinealectomized and sham-operated adult male Wistar rats were distributed into four groups: pinealectomized (PINX) untrained, pinealectomized trained, control untrained and control trained. The maximal oxygen uptake capability was assayed before and after the training protocol by indirect open circuit calorimetry. The rats were killed after 8 wk of training. Blood samples were collected for glucose and insulin determinations. The glycogen content was assayed in the liver and muscle. Maximal activities of epididymal adipose tissue enzymes (hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase and malic enzyme) as well as adipocyte size were determined. The exercise training in control animals promoted an increase in the aerobic power and in liver glycogen content but caused a reduction in the malic enzyme activity in adipose tissue. However, PINX trained animals, in contrast to trained controls, showed a decrease in the aerobic power and in liver and muscle glycogen content, as well as an increase in the activity of the adipocyte enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism. In conclusion, these data show that the pineal gland integrity is necessary for the homeostatic control of energy metabolism among adipose, muscle and hepatic tissues. The pinealectomized animals showed alterations in adaptive responses of the maximal oxygen uptake to training. Therefore, the pineal gland must be considered an influential participant in the complex adaptation to exercise and is involved in the improvement of endurance capacity. 相似文献

The benefits of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) for acute hypercapnic respiratory failure caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are well recognized and consequently its use is widespread. Prognostication in advanced COPD is imperfect, limiting accurate identification of 'end-stage' COPD. Decisions regarding withholding invasive ventilation are largely dependent upon prognostication. In patients where 'invasive' ventilation is not considered to be in their best interests, NIV will be the ceiling of therapy. In this patient group, NIV is extremely valuable in reducing mortality and providing valuable symptomatic benefit. We discuss the use of NIV in the management of an acute exacerbation of 'end-stage' COPD where NIV is the ceiling of therapy, the use of advanced directives and the implications of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 on decisions regarding end-of-life care. We highlight areas where further research would be useful. 相似文献

Background It has been known for many years that the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is reduced by the supine sleeping position. Campaigns are required to increase awareness of this finding among all those involved in childcare (parents, relatives, kindergarten staff, health professionals etc.).ObjectiveTo determine knowledge of the best sleeping position among health professionals (physicians and nurses) and the parents of healthy neonates.Material and methodThe study was performed in a tertiary maternity hospital. A voluntary, anonymous questionnaire containing an item on the best sleeping position for neonates was distributed. The influence of parental age, occupation, education, and previous children was analyzed.ResultsThe side position was the most frequent answer among parents both in the first questionnaire (50.9 %) and in the second (46.8 %). Health professionals preferred the supine position (63.3 %). Parents who gave the right answer had a higher mean age, were more likely to work outside the home and to be better educated. The existence of previous children did not influence the answer.ConclusionsIn some maternity hospitals, parents still believe the side sleeping position to be best for their children. To provide an example in maternity wards, all health professionals should accept the supine position as the best for preventing SIDS. 相似文献
