To investigate the effects of AMP on letrozole-induced PCOS rats. All SD rats were randomly divided into normal, PCOS, metformin group (Met, 265 mg/kg) and AMP group (1 g/kg) and weighed every three days. After 21 days of continuous administration, oral glucose tolerance test was performed, and the blood glucose(BP) level was measured. After execution, calculate the relative weight of bilateral ovaries. Serum levels of FSH, LH, E2, T and FINS were detected by ELISA assay. Serum levels of TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C were detected by the kit and calculated the LH/FSH ratio and HOMA-IR level. Compared with the normal group, body weight and relative weight of ovaries, BP level and serum levels of T, LH, LH/FSH ratio, FINS, HOMA-IR, TC, TG, LDL-C, and E2, FSH, HDL-C in model group increased. Compared with the PCOS group, body weight in the Met group and AMP group was lower, BP level and serum levels of T, LH, FINS, HOMA-IR and LDL-C in the Met group and AMP group were significantly lower and the level of HDL-C was higher. Armillaria mellea polysaccharides can improve hormone disturbance, glucose metabolism and abnormal lipid level in letrozole-induced polycystic ovary syndrome model rats.

Mining Opinion Word from Customer Review

Jiang Tengjiao,Zhong Minjuan,Liao Shumei,Luo Siwen 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Database Theory and Appli Vol.9 No.2

Online customer review is considered as a significant informative resource which is useful for both potential customer and product manufacturers. As a result, it is one of the most challenging tasks to mine customer reviews automatically and to provide users with opinion summary. Product features and opinion word play the most important roles in the customers’ opinions mining. In this paper, we dedicate our work to opinion word mining. We proposed an approach for opinion word identification based on the association rule mining algorithm. The method makes full use of co-occurrence syntactic characteristic between product features and opinion word. Firstly, the product feature is identified by two-stage filtering scheme, and secondly the opinion word is extracted through association rule mining. The final experiment results show that the proposed method could not only obtain the product features related to domain characteristics, but identify the opinion word effectively. Meanwhile, our approach possesses much higher precision and recall than Hu’s work.

Understand the dietary conditions of freshmen in a medical university, and explore the correlation between their dietary patterns and physical fitness levels. A dietary frequency survey was carried out among 2125 freshmen to evaluate their nutrient intake. Factor analysis was performed to extract common factors and determine dietary patterns. According to the "National Standards for Students" Physical health", the freshmen were tested for physical fitness, and the correlation analysis was conducted between the results of physical fitness score and dietary patterns. Four dietary patterns were identified by factor analysis, which were healthy dietary pattern (HDP), high fat and high sugar pattern (HFP/HSP), preserved food pattern and trace element pattern (TEP). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed the HDP and TEP were significantly positively correlated with the fitness test scores (r=0.064,0.062, p< 0.01), while the HFP and HSP was significantly negatively correlated (r=-0.057,p<0.01). Our results suggest that a healthy diet was associated with improved physical fitness performance, while a high intake of fatty and sweetened foods was associated with the opposite.

Global Inactivation of the Pla2g6 Gene in Mice Does Not Cause Dyslipidemia under Chow or High-fat Diet Conditions

Li Zhang,Shumei Zhong,Ying Li,Guang Ji,Meenakshi Sundaram,Zemin Yao 대한암예방학회 2013 Journal of cancer prevention Vol.18 No.3

Background: Genome-wide association studies suggest that plasma triacylglyceride (TAG) in humans was associated with variation in the PLA2G6 locus, a gene that encodes calcium-independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2Ղ). The objective of the present study is to understand the impact of genetic inactivation of iPLA2Ղ on hepatic TAG metabolism in C57BL/6 mice.Methods: Male iPLA2Ղ+/− mice were backcrossed with female iPLA2Ղ−/− mice for up to 10 generations prior to experiments. Lipid and lipoprotein metabolism from plasma, hepatocytes, thigh subcutaneous adipose and thigh skeletal muscle tissues of the mice were determined under various experimental conditions.Results: The iPLA2Ղ−/− mice, either male or female as compared with iPLA2Ղ+/+ littermates, showed no change in fasted or postprandial plasma TAG or total cholesterol at young (12-15 weeks) or old (40-44 weeks) ages under chow diet or high-fat diet (HFD) conditions. However, fractionation of plasma lipoproteins showed that under HFD conditions, there was a significant increase (by 40%) in apoB-100 association with VLDL1 fractions in iPLA2Ղ−/− mice as compared with iPLA2Ղ+/+ littermates. There was no significant difference in triglyceride or cholesterol contents in the liver, muscle, or adipose tissue between iPLA2Ղ−/− and iPLA2Ղ+/+ littermates. Metabolic labeling experiments with cultured primary hepatocytes isolated from iPLA2Ղ−/− mice also showed 2-fold increase in the secretion of [35S]methionine-labeled apoB-100 in VLDL1 fractions as compared with that from iPLA2Ղ+/+hepatocytes. Likewise, secretion of [3H]palmitate-labeled TAG from the iPLA2Ղ−/− hepatocytes was increased by 2-fold.Conclusions: Although iPLA2Ղ may play a role in TAG-rich VLDL1 production from cultured hepatocytes, there is no evidence that inactivation of iPLA2Ղ would lead to dyslipidemia in mice in vivo.

Chaojie Chong,Yaqi Wu,Zhewen Dong,Zixian Wang,Shumei Zhong,Haokun Chen,Qi Qi Pang,Jia-Le Song,Yanyuan Zhou 한국식품영양과학회 2021 한국식품영양과학회 학술대회발표집 Vol.2021 No.10

This study was to investigate the ameliorative effect of GFPS on clinical symptoms in letrozole(1 mg/kg)-induced PCOS rats. The female SD rats were classified into 4 groups as follows: the normal group (gavaged with saline), the PCOS group(ingested letrozole daily for 21 days). Normal group and metformin group gavaged with letrozole followed by metformin (265 mg/kg) and GFPS(600 mg/kg), respectively. All rats were weighed every 3 days until the end of the experiment. The ovaries, perirenal, abdomen and periuterine fat were removed and the relative weights (g/bw×100) were calculated. Serum levels of FSH, LH, E2, T, TG, TC, LDL-C were measured by ELISA and calculated the LH/FSH ratio. GFPS reduced follicle number and increases granulosa cell layer thickness and luteal number. GFPS also reduced the increase of body weight, ovarian and visceral fat weight in PCOS rats (P<0.01). In addition, GFPS reduced the serum levels of T, LH/FSH, TC, TG, LDL-C and LH, and elevated the serum levels of E2 and FSH in PCOS rats. In conclusion, GFPS can improve follicular development and restore body weight, ovarian weight, serum hormone levels and lipid profile in PCOS rats.

Wanying Li,Yanmin Su,Zixian Wang,Zhewen Dong,Haokun Chen,Shumei Zhong,Qi Qi Pang,Jia-Le Song 한국식품영양과학회 2021 한국식품영양과학회 학술대회발표집 Vol.2021 No.10

To observe the effect of SA on DSS-induced intestinal fibrosis in mice. The mice were randomly divided into normal, DSS and SA treated DSS mice group. Changes in body weight(BW), blood stool and diarrhea were observed. The serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17A, IL-18 and TNF-α were determined by ELISA kits. The protein levels of NLRP3, caspase-1, ASC, IL-1 β, α-SMA, CollagenI, Beclin1, LC3II/I and p62 were detected by Western Blotting assay. Compared with the normal group, SA significantly inhibited the loss of BW and DAI score in colitis mice (P<0.05). H&E and Masson staining assay suggested the SA reduced epithelial cell damage, crypt structure loss, inflammatory cell infiltration, and the fibrogenesis in colon of colitis mice. The serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17A, IL-18 and TNF-α were decreased by SA(P<0.05). SA was able to reduce the protein levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1, ASC, IL-1β, α-SMA, Collagen-I, p62, and increased the expressions of Beclin1 and LC3II/I in colitis mice. The study demonstrated that SA can modulate the activity of NLRP3 inflammasome and autophagy pathway to improve DSS induced intaestinal fibrosis in mice.

Junyang Liu,Zixian Wang,Wanying Li,Zhewen Dong,Chaojie Chong,Yaqi Wu,Shumei Zhong,Haokun Chen,Zhiqiang Liu,Qi Qi Pang,Jia-Le Song 한국식품영양과학회 2021 한국식품영양과학회 학술대회발표집 Vol.2021 No.10

To explore the effect of C3G on intestinal mucosal injury in 5-FU induced BALB/c mice. Mice were randomly divided into normal, model and C3G groups. After the last administration, mice were anesthetized, and calculated the thymus and spleen indexes. The ileum was used to stain with H&E observation. Serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α were determined by ELISA kits. Compared with the normal group, the model group had diarrhea, body weight and thymus and spleen index decreased significantly, intestinal villus epithelial cells fell off, crypt structure was destroyed, and inflammatory cell infiltration was observed. The body weight, thymus and spleen indexes of the treatment group and the prevention group decreased less, and the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 were significantly decreased, and the level of IL-10 was significantly increased relative to the model group. The intestinal villi structure was relatively complete, and a small amount of crypt structure was destroyed, with a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration, which reduced the mucosal damage. The administration of C3G could protect intestinal mucosa from 5-FU-induced injury.

Zixian Wang,Wanying Li,Zhewen Dong,Chaojie Chong,Yaqi Wu,Shumei Zhong,Haokun Chen,Qi Qi Pang,Jia-Le Song 한국식품영양과학회 2021 한국식품영양과학회 학술대회발표집 Vol.2021 No.10

To observe the effect of cyanidin-3,5-O-diglucoside(C3G) on intestinal fibrosis in a model of dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)-induced mice with colitis. Colitis was induced in C57BL/6 mice by addition of DSS to drinking water. Clinical (body weight, colon length and colon weight) and histologic changes were evaluated. In addition, colon levels of interleukin-1β, IL-6, IL-18, IL-17A, tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Relative to the DSS group, the mice in the C3G treatment group increased in body weight, colon length, and the ratio of colon weight to length was significantly lower (P<0.05). The DAI index of mice in the intervention group was lower than that in the colitis model group (P<0.05). Histological observation also found that the intervention of C3G is able to reduce the infiltration of inflammatory cells in colon tissue induced by DSS. The results of Masson staining suggest that the intervention of C3G also reduces the occurrence of intestinal fibrosis in mice with colitis. Our results suggested that C3G is an activity to improve inflammation and intestinal fibrosis in DSS colitis mice.

Zhiqiang Liu,Chaojie Chong,Zhewen Dong,Yaqi Wu,Wanying Li,Haokun Chen,Shumei Zhong,Junyang Liu,Qi Qi Pang,Jia-Le Song,Yanyuan Zhou 한국식품영양과학회 2021 한국식품영양과학회 학술대회발표집 Vol.2021 No.10

To investigate the effect of ACP on letrozole-induced PCOS rats. All rats were divided into normal groups, PCOS group, metformin group and ACP group. The body weight (BW) was recorded every three days, and the final body weight as well as ovarian weight were recorded. Serum levels of TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C and E2, T, FSH and LH were measured by ELISA assay, and the LH/FSH ratio was calculated. The results showed that ACP decreased the BW and the ratio of ovarian to BW. Compared with the normal group, the serum levels of T, LH, LH/FSH, TG, TC, LDL-C increased, and the levels of FSH, E2, HDL-C decreased in PCOS group. ACP effectively improves the serum levels of FSH, LH/FSH, TG, TC, LDL-C and other related factors. The results of H&E staining of ovarian tissues showed that the ACP group showed different degrees of improvement in the reduced number of corpus luteum, thinning of granulosa cell layer, follicular capsular dilatation and follicular atresia. ACP not only reduces BW and the ratio of ovarian to BW, but also it can elevate the level of FSH and reduce LH/FSH, TG, TC and HDL-C levels. Furthermore, ACP can protect ovarian tissue to some extent.

To explore the ameliorative effect of Phellinus linteus polysaccharide(PLP) on letrozole-induced PCOS rats. A total of 32 female SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, PCOS group, metformin group and PLP group, and weighed every three days. The estrous cycle of rats was observed by vaginal smear ten days before sacrifice. The estrous cycle of PCOS rats was disordered, the ovaries showed polycystic changes and the body weight and the relative weight of the ovaries increased (P<0.05). The estrous cycle, polycystic ovary, body weight and relative weight of the ovaries in PLP group and Metformin group recovered significantly (P<0.05). The serum levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, FINS, T, LH, E2 and FSH were detected by ELISA kits. After treatment, the serum levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, FINS, T, LH and LH/FSH in the PLP group and Metformin group were lower than PCOS group (P<0.05). In addition, the serum levels of E2, FSH and HDL-C were increased (P<0.05) in the PLP group and Metformin group. The results showed that Phellinus linteus polysaccharides can ameliorate glucose and lipid metabolism, polycystic ovary and regulate the levels of sex hormones in PCOS rats.
