A portable device which utilizes a method for tracking consumption of food calories, carbohydrates, fats, or proteins using a cell phone, personal data assistant, or hand held device. The user can record food intake; calculate basal metabolic rate; daily caloric needs; monitor calories, carbohydrates, protein or fats; and provide current metabolic state with corresponding exercise for weight control. The user can enter a timed physical activity to determine caloric balance between calories eaten and calories burned. Data is displayed for 7, 14, or 30 days, and can be Emailed to and synchronized with the user's personal computer or internet server

A pharmaceutical composition is provided having at least one kind to be selected from the group consisting of a lactoferrin group protein having lactoferrin and conalbumin, and an enzymatically decomposed product of the lactoferrin group protein having peptides corresponding to lactoferricin and lactoferricin of conalbumin as an active ingredient. The composition of the present invention can be used as an agent for improving lipid metabolism. Further, it is useful for treating hypercholesterolemia, hyper-neutral lipidemia, hyper-low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterolemia, hypo-high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterolemia, obesity, fatty liver and cholesterol gallstone and lifestyle-related diseases such as severe obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and type II diabetes. The composition of the present invention can improve basal metabolic rate.

A basal metabolic rate measuring device capable of measuring the basal metabolic rate of a pregnant woman easily and accurately is provided by improving a known basal metabolic rate measuring device capable of calculating a basal metabolic rate based on the fat free mass data and age data of a subject. The basal metabolic rate measuring device calculates the fat free mass data of the body of a pregnant subject and calculates the basal metabolic rate of the subject based on at least the fat free mass data and age data. The fat free mass data of the body of the subject is calculated based on at least the body height data, body weight data, impedance data and fetal part weight data of the subject by a known basal metabolic rate measuring device provided with fetal part weight data acquiring means.

The invention provides an exercise process heart rate predicting method and device based on an acceleration sensor. The exercise process heart rate predicting method based on the acceleration sensor comprises the following steps that 1, acceleration vectors generated by a measured object in the exercise process are collected and calculated through the acceleration sensor; 2, by analyzing the changes of acceleration vector values in a time axis, the energy consumption changes of the measured object in the exercise process are calculated, and a relation model of the acceleration vectors and energy consumption is built; 3, basic information of the measured object is collected, the basal metabolic rate, the maximum heart rate, the oxygen intake under the maximum heart rate and the energy consumption of the measured object are obtained through calculation; 4, a relation model of the heart rate and the energy consumption of the measured object in the exercise process is built, and prediction for the heart rate of the measured object is achieved. According to the exercise process heart rate predicting method and device based on the acceleration sensor, the heart rate of the measured object in the exercise process can be predicted through the acceleration sensor, the method is simple and easy to operate, and the measuring precision can meet the training requirements.

The invention discloses a partial base deletion muscle inhibin gene capable of being expressed in a mouse and application. An MSTN gene comprises two introns and three exon subsequence. 6 bases are deleted at the 175th-180th bit of the third exon are deleted, a cutting carrier containing partial base deletion muscle inhibin genes is constructed, a knock-out mouse containing the partial base deletion muscle inhibin genes is prepared, the cutting carrier containing the partial base deletion muscle inhibin genes is applied to MSTN organism character researches, the muscle amount of mouse skeletal muscle is increased, a double muscling phenomenon is generated, and the mouse basal metabolic rate and mouse body temperature are reduced. Through a genetic engineering method, base knock-out is performed on the original MSTN gene of the mouse, normal physiological functions of the organism are not affected while the muscle amount of the mouse skeletal muscle is increased, the muscle amount of the mouse can be quickly improved, and the partial base deletion muscle inhibin gene has large application prospect.

The invention discloses a device for monitoring and managing sleep quality and promoting sleep. The device comprises a hand monitoring unit and a pillow monitoring unit. The hand monitoring unit evaluates the specific sleeping condition of a monitored person and starts a corresponding preset hand perceptual mode by acquiring and analyzing the pulse information, the heart rate information, the motion information, the oxyhemoglobin saturation information, the regular exercise amount and the sleeping posture information of the monitored person, the temperature information of the environment where the monitored person is located, and the brightness information of the sleeping environment. The pillow monitoring unit acquires all the information of the monitored person, and starts a corresponding preset pillow vibration mode. The device has the advantages of being capable of promoting sleep, precise in data, safe, environment-friendly, multifunctional, small, portable and the like. The device can conduct multi-dimensional monitoring on multiple indexes like sleep quality, exercise amount and basal metabolic rate, can dynamically and intelligently conduct individualized guidance and management on sleeping plans according to sleeping parameters acquired through previous multi-dimensional monitoring, and can be applied to the normal sleep population, the insomnia population, the sleep apnea-syndrome population and the population with a snoring history but not diagnosed as sleep apnea-syndrome yet.
