Abstract
AIMS To describe the contribution of diabetes nutrition therapy to disease self-management among individuals with Type 1 diabetes in China and to estimate the association of diabetes nutrition therapy with dietary intake. METHODS The 3C Study was an epidemiological study of the coverage, cost and care of Type 1 diabetes in China. The data reported in the present study are from the 3C Nutrition Ancillary Study, a follow-up study conducted a mean ± sd of 1.6 ± 0.2 years later. Diabetes nutrition therapy was assessed by an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Dietary intake was assessed using three 24-h recalls. The association of diabetes nutrition therapy with dietary intake was estimated using ancova. RESULTS Participants (n = 100; 54% male) had a mean ± sd age of 41.7 ± 16.3 years and a mean ± sd diabetes duration of 11.8 ± 9.7 years. Fewer than half of the participants reported that they had 'ever' met with a dietitian. While 64% of participants were taught carbohydrate counting, only 12% 'ever' use this tool. Participants on insulin pumps and those testing ≥ 1 time/day reported greater dietary flexibility and higher fruit intakes compared with participants on other insulin regimens and testing less frequently. After adjustment for confounding by age and occupation, there were no consistent differences in dietary intake across subgroups of diabetes nutrition therapy. CONCLUSIONS In this sample of individuals with Type 1 diabetes in China there is little dietitian involvement or carbohydrate counting. Increased frequency of nutrition education in conjunction with intensified self-monitoring of blood glucose is needed to improve care.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is a novel apoptotic pathway and plays an important role for embryonic development. Tauro ursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) is a specific chemical chaperone that can inhibit ERS. In this study, we investigated the effects of TUDCA on the development and mRNA expression of ERS-related genes in bovine embryos from IVF in order to improve the efficiency of embryo in vitro culture. Bovine oocytes collected from ovaries at slaughter were cultured in the maturation medium (TCM-199 + 26.2 mmol L–1 NaHCO3 + 5 mmol L–1 HEPES + 5% fetal bovine serum) for 24 h and fertilized in vitro with bovine sperm. After fertilization, the embryos were respectively placed into the medium (TCM-199 + 3% fetal bovine serum) containing different concentrations of TUDCA (0, 100, 250, 500, 1000 μmol L–1) and cultured in the 5% CO2 at 38.5°C. Blastocyst development was evaluated after 7 days of culture, and then the total cell number and apoptosis index of blastocysts were detected with TUNEL. In addition, X-box binding protein 1 (XBP-1) of embryos at 2-cell, 4-cell, morula, and blastocyst stages was detected with RT-PCR, and the change of the mRNA expression of ERS-related (Grp78, Ire1, Chop) and apoptosis-related (Bax, Bcl-2) genes in blastocyst collected at 7 days of culture were analysed by QRT-PCR. A total of 1336 oocytes were used in this study, and each experimental group comprised 6 replicates. The results revealed that the splicing of XBP-1 was present during the development of bovine embryos, and especially obvious at the 4-cell, morula, and blastocyst stages. When embryos were cultured in medium with different concentrations of TUDCA, compared with the control group (0 μmol L–1), more embryos developed to blastocyst stage with 500 μmol L–1 TUDCA (31.86 ± 7.32% v. 21.11 ± 8.05%; P < 0.05), but the cleavage rate was not significantly different among groups (P > 0.05). The result for TUNEL found that when adding 500 μmol L–1 TUDCA to culture, the bovine embryos significantly improved the total cell number of blastocysts (110. ± 15.21 v. 102.3 ± 8.62; P < 0.05), and the apoptosis index of blastocysts was markedly decreased (3.71 ± 0.91 v. 5.36 ± 1.92; P < 0.05) relative to the control group. Moreover, the result of QRT-PCR analysis showed that treating embryos with 500 μmol L–1 TUDCA significantly reduced the mRNA expression level of Ire1 and Chop genes (P < 0.05) and up-regulated the expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 gene (P < 0.05), while down-regulated the expression of pro-apoptotic Bax gene (P < 0.05). Furthermore, XBP-1 splicing in blastocysts also abated after embryos were treated with 500 μmol L–1 TUDCA. In conclusion, ERS occurs in bovine embryos during in vitro culture, but treating embryos with 500 μmol L–1 TUDCA may reduce ERS to facilitate embryonic development.

Abstract
Sinipercids are a group of freshwater perciform fish endemic in East Asia with the majority of species recorded in China. In the present study, we analyzed the organizations of complete mitogenomes of the six sinipercid fish populations from the Yangtze River and the Pearl River systems in China. The proportion of G was relatively low just at 16.2%-16.5% among the fish populations analyzed. The similarity and divergence analysis showed that the populations from different drainages have more sequence similarities than those from different species in the same drainages. The rate of point mutation was 0.39% and a total of 422 variable sites were identified in the 12 protein-coding genes (excluding the ND6) among the four S. scherzeri populations. The analysis of evolutionary relationship showed that the four S. scherzeri populations can be divided into two groups of Yangtze River system and the Pearl River. Overall the data provide significant information for the genetic and evolutionary status of sinipercids upon adapting to different environments, and for genetic conservation and selective breeding of these fish species in fishery and aquaculture.

Abstract
Patients with impaired renal function are exposed to an increased risk for bleeding complications depending on the amount of the anticoagulant eliminated by the kidneys. The elimination of unfractionated heparins, vitamin K antagonists and argatroban is only minimally influenced by a reduced renal function. Low-molecular weight heparins, fondaparinux, danaparoid, hirudins and non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) cause a variably increased bleeding risk in renal impairment. Dose reductions are recommended for all of these anticoagulants in renal impairment, some are even contraindicated at certain levels of renal impairment. Their benefit over the conventional anticoagulants is preserved if renal dosing is employed. For end-stage renal disease patients specific treatment regimens are required.

Abstract
The thermic effect of food accounts for ~10% of daily energy expenditure. A reduction in the thermic effect of food, which has been variably observed in the older adults, could predispose to fat gain. We tested whether the thermic effect of food is reduced in older adults compared with young adults by analyzing our database of standardized studies conducted at the Mayo Clinic between 1999 and 2009. Data were available from 136 older adult volunteers aged 60-88 (56 females) and 141 young adults aged 18-35 years (67 females). Basal energy expenditure was measured by indirect calorimetry to assess basal metabolic rate. Body fat, fat free mass, and visceral fat were measured using a combination of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and an abdominal CT scan. The thermic effect of food and postprandial insulinemia were measured in 123 older adults (52 females) and 86 young adults (38 females) of these volunteers. Basal metabolic rate adjusted for fat-free mass was less in older adults (p=0.01) and the thermic effect of food was ~1% (p=0.02) less in the older adults. After controlling for meal size and fat-free mass, body fat and fat distribution did not predict the thermic effect of food. Both basal metabolic rate and the thermic effect of food are less in older adults than young adults, even when they have similar amounts of lean tissue and consume a similar size meal. These factors contribute to lower daily energy expenditure in the older adults.
