OBJECTIVE: To assess the Ca, nutrient and food intake of Greek Orthodox Christian monks during a vegetarian-type fasting week, compared with their normal diet. DESIGN: Dietary data collection (using 7 d weighed food records), anthropometric and blood pressure measurements, as well as serum glucose and lipid analyses, were performed during Palm Sunday week (fasting) and the week following Pentecost Sunday (non-fasting). Mean daily nutrient and food (g/d) intakes were calculated from the food records. SETTING: The study took place in two monasteries in the Municipality of Heraklion, Crete. SUBJECTS: The study involved ten healthy monks aged 254 (sd 10June 2005. RESULTS: Nutrient and food intake profiles were more favourable during the fasting week, when participants had lower intakes of total and saturated fat and trans-fatty acids, and higher intakes of dietary fibre, Fe, folate, legumes and fish/seafood. Ca intake was lower when participants fasted, whereas consumption of dairy products, meat and eggs increased significantly in the non-fasting week. Systolic blood pressure was significantly higher, whereas blood lipid levels were more favourable during the fasting week. CONCLUSIONS: The periodic vegetarianism recommended by the Greek Orthodox Church contributes to the favourable profiles of several biomarkers of health among this sample of monks. The fasting rituals described are an important component of the traditional diet of Crete and should be emphasised in nutrition education programmes promoting this Mediterranean eating pattern. 相似文献

Four cylindrical silicon tissue cages (TC, internal volume: 6.7 ± 0.11 cm(3)) were inserted subcutaneously in 29 young healthy cats. A mild inflammatory reaction was induced by intracaveal injection of 1 mL of a 2%λ-carrageenan solution. TC exudate was subsequently sampled at predetermined times (up to 120 h) to measure exudate leucocyte counts and the concentrations of protein and eicosanoids. TC remained in situ for 9-10 months and were well tolerated. Leucocyte counts peaked at 34 h (50.1 ± 57.6 × 10(3) cells/mm(3) ) and returned towards baseline after 72 h. Protein concentration increased from 26.2 ± 2.7 g/L to a peak of 35.9 ± 6.0 g/L at 12 h before returning to baseline at 48 h. Exudate prostaglandin (PG)E(2) concentration peaked at 24 h (11.7 ± 13.7 ng/mL) and returned to baseline by 120 h. Repeated collection of fluid from noninjected cages did not increase transudate PGE(2). Ketoprofen (2 mg/kg, subcutaneously) suppressed exudate PGE(2) at 24 h. The carrageenan-stimulated TC model is an ethical and novel means of investigating soft tissue inflammation in the cat, in which exudate PGE(2) acts as surrogate marker of cyclooxygenase-2 activity. This model will facilitate the investigation of in vivo pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of anti-inflammatory drugs in this species. 相似文献

An 8-month-old female domestic shorthair cat was presented to the Animal Medical Center with anorexia, lethargy, and mild gastrointestinal signs. A CBC revealed a profound neutropenia, and serologic testing with an in-house test kit (SNAP FIV/FeLV Combo, IDEXX) was positive for feline leukemia virus (FeLV) antigen. Serial hematologic examinations during hospitalization showed a persistent neutropenia with occasionally severe anemia and thrombocytopenia. Prednisolone administration afforded complete hematologic remission within 3 days. Four weeks after the premature discontinuation of prednisolone, the patient relapsed; however, complete and prolonged hematologic remission was achieved after prednisolone was re-induced. Bone marrow aspiration cytology was consistent with immune-mediated destruction of the mature myeloid cells. steroid-responsive (likely immune-mediated) cytopenias rarely occur in cats with progressive FeLV infection. Although only a few cases of FeLV-positive, severely neutropenic cats that responded to immunosuppressive therapy have been reported, this case highlights that a grave prognosis should not always be given to these FeLV-positive cats. 相似文献
