Objective. To explore the expression of the polymorphism and mutation of rs682429 and rs3781590 in the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) genotype and to analyse the relationship of bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism markers in postmenopausal women with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Xinjiang, China, to provide a basis for prevention and treatment of the disease. Methods. A total of 136 postmenopausal women were included in the study. According to the results of an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and dual-energy X-ray (DEXA) determination of BMD, the study subjects were divided into 4 groups: group A: normal OGTT+normal bone mass group; group B: normal OGTT+osteoporotic (OP) group; group C: T2DM+normal bone mass group; group D: T2DM+osteoporotic (OP) group. Calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and clinical biochemical data were determined; haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was measured by HPLC; BMD of the femoral neck, hip, and lumbar spine (L1-4) was measured by dual-energy X-ray (DEXA); and the rs682429 and rs3781590 polymorphisms of the LRP5 gene were detected by time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF MS). Results. (1) The rs682429 polymorphism of the LRP5 genotype distribution was statistically significant (P<0.05) in group B compared with group A. (2) The triglycerides (TG) of women with the CT/TT genotype (mutant type) were higher than those of women with the CC genotype (wild type) (2.37±1.30 vs. 1.52±0.83, P<0.05) at the rs3781590 site of the LRP5 gene in group D. (3) Multiple linear regression analysis showed that TG (β=0.034, P<0.05) and body mass index (BMI) (β=0.013, P<0.05) were the influencing factors of BMD (L1-4) in T2DM patients. TG (β=0.022, P<0.05), BMI (β=0.009, P<0.05), and duration of menopause (β=0.005, P<0.05) were the influencing factors of BMD (hip). Conclusion. (1) The rs682429 polymorphism site in the LRP5 gene may be involved in bone metabolism in postmenopausal women from Xinjiang. (2) The rs3781590 mutation in the LRP5 gene from these subjects may be involved in lipid metabolism. (3) Among postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus and bone mass abnormality in the Xinjiang Shihezi area, high BMI and TG are protective factors against increased BMD. Duration of menopause is a risk factor for increased BMD.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of repairing rabbit radius bone defects with simvastatin compound biological bone. Methods: Simvastatin biological bone material was prepared, and osteoblasts were cultured. A total of 42 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into four groups, and a bone defect with a length of 15 mm was created at the middle part of the radial shaft of both limbs in each rabbit, thereby establishing a bone defect model. The grafts in group A were biological bones of osteoblasts combined with simvastatin; the grafts in group B were biological bones of simvastatin; the grafts in group C were biological compound bones of osteoblasts; and the grafts in group D were simple biological bones. In each group, four animals were randomly sacrificed at the sixth and twelfth week after surgery, and specimens were collected for gross observation, X-ray examination, histological observation, and biomechanical testing. In each group, two animals were randomly sacrificed at the twelfth week after surgery; a three-point bending test was performed using a biomechanical testing machine, and the results were compared with those of a normal radius. Results: The X-ray and histological examinations at 6 and 12 weeks after surgery revealed that the osteogenesis ability of the simvastatin biological bone and osteoblast-simvastatin biological bone was better than that of the osteoblast biological bone and simple biological bone, which was superior in group A and group B to group C and group D. The results of the biomechanical examination revealed that the maximum stress of the normal radius was significantly higher than that of the experimental groups. Among the experimental groups, the difference between group A and group B was not statistically significant, and the maximum stress was higher in groups A and B than in groups C and D. Conclusion: Simvastatin biological bone material can promote the repair of rabbit radius defects and increase the quality of bone healing.

The relationship between portal tributary blood flow (PBF) and hepatic arterial blood flow (HAF) was studied in awake, unrestrained rats with the radiolabeled microsphere technique. Six distinct patterns of response emerged. In group A (PBF+, HAF 0), ethanol, acetate, glucagon, prostacyclin, and a mixed diet increased PBF without a change in HAF; in group B (PBF+, HAF+), adenosine and histamine increased both PBF and HAF; in group C (PBF 0, HAF+), isoflurane and triiodothyronine did not change PBF but increased HAF; and in group D (PBF-, HAF+), halothane and vasopressin decreased PBF and increased HAF. Acute partial portal vein ligation decreased PBF (56%) and increased HAF (436%). Hypoxia (7.5% O2) decreased PBF (28%) and increased HAF (110%). In group E (PBF+, HAF-), acute hepatic artery ligation increased PBF (35%) and reduced HAF (74%), while in group F (PBF-, HAF-), thyroidectomy reduced PBF and HAF (36 and 47%, respectively). All blood flow responses were accompanied by the expected changes in both portal tributary and hepatic arterial vascular resistances. The data suggest that the portal and hepatic arterial vascular territories have regulatory mechanisms that allow for independent changes.

Regional and total bone mass were determined in three groups of women by photon absorptiometry of the distal radius [bone mineral content BMC)] and total body neutron activation analysis [total body calcium (TBCa)], respectively. There were three groups of patients: group A, osteoporotic women treated with a variety of pharmacologic agents; group B, osteoporotic women (controls) taking only calcium supplements; and group C, normal postmenopausal women. The mean TBCa and BMC were considerably higher in the postmenopausal women than in the osteoporotic women. The rate of change of bone mass in group C was -0.45%/yr and -0.9%/yr for the total skeleton and radius, respectively. Group B had no significant rate of loss, whereas group A demonstrated a significant increase in TBCa of 0.75%/yr with no change in the BMC of the radius. There were no significant between-subject correlations for the slopes (rates of change) of the two bone mineral measurements.

Background: The complexity of follicular fluid metabolome presents a huge challenge for qualitative and quantitative metabolite profiling and discovery of the comprehensive biomarkers. Objective: In order to address this challenge, novel SWATHtoMRM metabolomics method was used for providing broad coverage and excellent quantitative capability to discover the human follicular fluid metabolites related to age and evaluate their relationship with pregnancy outcome and oocyte senescence. Methods: The patients were divided into four groups according to age, including group A (28 cases, 21- 27 years old), group B (42 cases, 28-34 years old), group C (31 cases, 35-41 years old), and group D (24 cases, 42-48 years old). Follicular fluid samples from 125 IVF patients were analyzed. The differential ions among the four groups were identified by principal components analysis according to accurate mass, isotope ratio, and tandem mass spectroscopic spectra. Then, the differential metabolic pathways were further identified by a KEGG cluster analysis. Results: A total of 18 metabolites in the follicular fluid differed among the four groups, including amino acids, lipids, hormones, and vitamins. A total of 15 metabolites, including 6-oxohexanoate, phenylalanine, proline, hexadecanoic acid, linoleate, arachidonate, oleic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, LysoPC(16:1), LysoPC(20:5), LysoPC (20:3), 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, 5-dehydroepisterol, 27- hydroxycholesterol, and 5beta-cholestane-3alpha,7alpha,12alpha,23,25-pentol, were down-regulated with age and 3 metabolites, including LysoPC(18:3), LysoPC(18:1), and 13,14-dihydroretinol, were upregulated with age. Conclusion: Our study provides useful information for revealing the relationship between age and female reproductive capability.

ABSTRACT To determine the effects of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) maternal antibodies on and response to experimental PCV2 infection, 24 piglets were divided into four groups on the basis of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay titers of PCV2 maternal antibodies: group A (n = 6; sample/positive [S/P] ratio, <0.2), group B (n = 5; S/P ratio, >0.2 to <0.5), and groups C (n = 8) and D (n = 5) (S/P ratio, >0.5). Piglets in groups A, B, and C were inoculated with PCV2 at day 0 and challenged with PCV2 at day 42. Group D piglets were not exposed to PCV2 at day 0 but were challenged at day 42. Before challenge, seroconversion to PCV2 antibodies occurred in five of six group A piglets, and the antibody level rose above the cutoff level in one of five group B piglets. Viremia was detected in five of six, four of five, and two of eight pigs in groups A, B, and C, respectively. After challenge, PCV2 DNA was detectable from 7 to 21 days postchallenge in the sera from six of six, four of five, three of eight, and five of five pigs in groups A, B, C, and D, respectively. The results indicated that protection against PCV2 infection conferred by maternal antibodies is titer dependent: higher titers are generally protective, but low titers are not.

Bone Turnover Markers Relations to Postmenopausal OsteoporosisOsteoporosis is a systemic disease characterized by low bone mass and high bone turnover markers in postmenopausal women (PM). The relationship between biochemical bone markers C-telopeptides of type 1 collagen (CTX) and osteocalcin (OC), and bone mineral density (BMD) in the postmenopausal period was examined in 104 PM women divided into three groups according to their BMD: group A - control PM with normal bone density, group B - osteopenic PM and group C - osteoporotic PM. Mean CTX values were highest in group C (0.54±0.24 ng/mL) compared to group B (0.44±0.21 ng/mL) (p<0.0001), and group A (0.33±0.13 ng/mL) (p<0.029). Mean OC levels in group C (26.83±9.91 ng/mL) were significantly higher compared to group A (20.47±7.03 ng/mL) (p<0.011) but not significantly higher compared to group B (24.11±8.38 ng/mL) (p>0.05). Postmenopause duration was longest in group C (13.1±8.31 yrs) compared to group B (9.6±6.24 yrs), and group A (8.15±6.86 yrs). Postmenopausal women developed osteoporosis with longer menopause duration. PM osteoporotic women were characterized by increased levels of bone turnover markers indicating increased rate of bone remodeling, which resulted in excessive bone resorption, and loss of bone mass. Long-term persistence of high bone resorption marker CTX, insufficiently compensated with bone formation marker OC, enabled osteoporosis development.
