The present study was designed to elucidate the role of apoE polymorphism in the lithogenesis of cholecystolithiasis and to explore the hereditary pathogenesis of the disease. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PRC) was used as researching apoE phenotypes and allele frequencies in patients with gallstones (n=87) and in controls (n=50), and the fasting serum lipids of subjects were also measured. The characteristics of lipid variants were analysed among the patients with different apoE phenotypes. The results showed that the levels of TG (1.43mmol/L), VLDL-C(0.68mmol/L) in E2/3 patients were greatly higher than those in E2/3 controls (1.06mmol/L, Ｐ＜0.05 and 0.48mmol/L, Ｐ＜0.05), and LDL-C (1.41mmol/L) was markably lower in E2/3 patients than that in controls (2.04mmol/L, Ｐ＜0.05). The levels of serum lipids decreased significantly in E3/3 patients with HDL-C (0.89mmol/L), HDL2-C (0.49mmol/L), HDL3-C (0.39mmol/L), and compared with those in E3/3 controls (1.28mmol/L Ｐ＜0.05, 0.73mmol/L Ｐ＜0.001 and 0.55mmol/L Ｐ＜0.001). In E3/4 patients there were only slight changes of VLDL-C, LDL-C level. The results suggest that the average level of serum lipids in the same apoE phenotype patients with gallstones is higher than that in controls, and the different apoE phenotypes patients with gallstones have different characteristics of dyslipidemia. ε2 allele is probably one of the dangerous factor in the lithogenesis of cholecystolithiasis.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the intervention effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on weight loss and blood lipid metabolism in overweight/obese populations. MethodsThe computer conducted searches in the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, and WanFang Data database to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to HIIT and weight loss, fat reduction, and blood lipid metabolism in overweight/obese populations. The search was conducted from the inception of the databases to March 31, 2023. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening and data extraction. After evaluating the risk of bias of the included studies, a meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. ResultsA total of 19 RCTs, involving 595 overweight/obese participants, were included. The meta-analysis results showed that compared wtih the control group, HIIT interventions effectively reduced body weight (MD=−2.63, 95%CI −4.04 to −1.23, P<0.05), BMI (MD=−1.21, 95%CI −1.95 to −0.48, P<0.05), Fat% (MD=−1.66, 95%CI −2.28 to −1.04, P<0.05), TG (MD=−0.13, 95%CI −0.25 to −0.01, P=0.04), HDL (MD=0.14, 95%CI 0.05 to 0.23, P<0.05), and LDL (MD=−0.26, 95%CI −0.39 to −0.13, P<0.05) levels but did not improve TC (MD=−0.15, 95%CI −0.36 to 0.06, P=0.15) levels. ConclusionHIIT intervention can effectively improve body weight, BMI, Fat%, TG, HDL, and LDL levels in overweight/obese populations, particularly showing a more pronounced improvement in lipid profiles among overweight/obese adolescents, but it does not reduce TC levels. This study demonstrates that HIIT may be an effective strategy to assist in weight loss and prevent cardiovascular diseases in overweight/obese populations, with potential for broader application.
ObjectiveTo assess the effect of Xuezhikang 1.2 g/d after 4 weeks' treatment on primary hyperlipidemia patients' lipid contents including total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) by literature analysis. MethodsA literature research was carried out in CNKI, Wanfang and Weipu full-text database to collect articles published from January 1st, 1994 to August 30 th, 2014, concerning the self-controlled trials on the lipid regulating effects of Xuezhikang 1.2 g/d for 4 weeks in primary hyperlipidemia patients. Statistical analysis was performed with Review Manager 5.2. ResultsFifty-five independent trials were included in this review. All of the independent studies showed no homogeneity (P<0.01, I2>70%), and had publication bias. The contents of TC, TG, and LDL-C after a 4-week treatment with 1.2 g/d Xuezhikang were significantly lower than those before treatment [WMD=1.14 mmol/L, 95%CI (1.02, 1.25) mmol/L, P<0.000 01; WMD=0.72 mmol/L, 95%CI (0.59, 0.85) mmol/L, P<0.000 01; WMD=0.87 mmol/L, 95%CI (0.74, 1.00) mmol/L, P<0.000 01] and the contents of HDL-C was significantly higher than that before treatment [WMD=-0.16 mmol/L, 95%CI (-0.26, -0.12) mmol/L, P<0.000 01]. ConclusionXuezhikang can reduce the primary hyperlipidemia patients' TC, TG and LDL-C, and increase HDL-C after 4 weeks' treatment.
Objective To investigate the effect of chronic altitude hypoxia exposure on serum lipoprotein levels in healthy subjects and patients with pulmonary hypertension, and whether there is a difference in serum lipoprotein levels between patients with pulmonary hypertension at middle and high altitude. Methods The case data of 245 Han patients with COPD complicated with pulmonary hypertension admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University from January 2018 to September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the altitude of their long-term residence before onset, the patients were divided into two groups, 119 cases in the middle altitude group (1500 m~2500 m). 126 cases were in the high altitude group of 2500 m~4500 m. In addition, the physical examination data of 50 healthy people in the intermediate and high altitude groups were collected as the control group (the age and gender of the healthy people in the same altitude group were similar to those in the COPD-PH group), a total of 4 groups were collected. The general data, pulmonary artery systolic blood pressure (PASP), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) of the four groups were compared, and the correlation between pulmonary artery systolic blood pressure (PASP) and related variables was analyzed. ResultsThere were no significant differences in age, gender, smoking and drinking between the healthy control group and COPD-PH group (all P>0.05). There were significant differences in body mass index, PASP, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, TG/HDL-C, HDL-C/LDL-C between the healthy control group and the COPD-PH group (all P<0.05). In the healthy control group, only BMI was significantly different between the high altitude group and the middle altitude group (P<0.05). In the COPD-PH group, PASP, BMI, TC, HDL-C and TG/HDL-C in the high altitude group were significantly different from those in the moderate altitude group (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in age, gender, smoking, drinking, TG, LDL-C and HDL-C/LDL-C between the two groups (all P>0.05), when gender, age, altitude, body mass index, PASP, smoking and drinking were included in the multi-factor linear regression equation of lipoprotein (TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C), it was found that different elevations (middle and higher elevations) only had statistically different effects on HDL-C (b=-0.046, t=-2.209, P=0.028). Correlation analysis showed that PASP was not correlated with age, altitude, body mass index and blood lipids (TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C) in the healthy control group (all P>0.05). However, in the COPD-PH group, PASP was negatively correlated with blood lipid indicators (TC, HDL-C and LDL-C). PASP was positively correlated with altitude (a risk factor for hypoxia). ConclusionsHypoxia environment factors characterized by altitude are closely related to the severity of pulmonary artery pressure in patients with COPD-PH, and higher pulmonary artery systolic pressure is closely related to lower levels of TC, HDL-C and LDL-C.
Objective To explore the relationship between obesity and the three targets including blood pressure, glucose, and lipid. Methods A total of 181 adult Tibetans who underwent physical examination between March and September 2015 at Xigaze People's Hospital were enrolled in this study. Their obesity degrees were assessed with body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) respectively. The levels of blood pressure, glucose, and lipid were compared at the different levels of BMI or WC. Results The incidence of systematic obesity and central obesity in these adults were 57.5% and 79.0%, respectively. Compared the overweight group with the normal BMI group, the systolic pressure and diastolic pressure of the former were 9.26 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) [95% confidence interval (CI) (3.46, 15.07) mm Hg, P=0.002] and 7.76 mm Hg [95%CI (3.96, 11.57) mm Hg, P<0.001] higher, respectively. Similarly, the systolic pressure and diastolic pressure of the central obesity group were 8.24 mm Hg [95%CI (1.03, 15.46) mm Hg,P=0.026] and 6.79 mm Hg [95%CI (2.03, 11.55) mm Hg, P=0.006] higher than those in the normal WC group, respectively. For the normal WC or normal BMI subjects, the detection rate of dyslipidemia reached up to 50.0% and 52.6%. Conclusions With the increase of BMI/WC values, the level of blood pressure rises. Even though WC or BMI is normal, the detection rate of dyslipidemia is high.
Objective To observe the serum lipid level of patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). Methods A total of 71 BRVO patients (BRVO group) were enrolled in this study. The patients included 31 males and 40 females, with an average age of (52.75plusmn;10.2) years. All the patients were examined for visual acuity, slit lamp ophthalmoscopy combine with preset lens, fundus color photography and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) examination. Seventy-two age and sex matched normal subjects were enrolled in this study as control group. The subjects included 32 males and 40 females, with an average age of (53.10plusmn;9.5) years. The BRVO and control group were divided into four subgroup which including age with ＜40 years, 40-49 years, 50-59 years and ge;60 years. The plasma cholesterol and triglyceride level of BRVO group, control group, and age subgroups of BRVO and control group were comparatively analyzed. Results The average plasma cholesterol levels were (4.529plusmn;0.100) and (4.274plusmn;0.106) mmol/L in BRVO and control group, respectively. There was no difference between two groups (t=-1.738，P＞0.05). The average triglyceride levels were (1.500plusmn;0.129) and (1.319plusmn;0.095) mmol/L in BRVO and control group, respectively. There was no difference between two groups (t=-1.135，P＞0.05). There was no difference of average plasma cholesterol (t=-1.755, 1.850, -1.892, -0.507) and triglyceride (t=0.846, -0.074, -1.288, -1.887) level in age subgroups of BRVO and control subgroup (P＞0.05). Conclusion There is no significant difference of serum lipid level between BRVO patients and controls.
Objective To study the relation between the pathogenesis of gallstone and blood lipid and protein.Methods Then indexes of blood lipid and protein in 204 cases of gallstone patients were measured and analysed by statistical software SPSS. Results There was a significant difference between the gallstone group and control in the value of proalbumin, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein and carrier protein B (Ｐ＜0.01), the value of total protein, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol and carrier protein A1 were higher than those in the control (Ｐ＜0.05). Conclusion The indexes mentioned above may play an important role in the gallstone formation.
Objective To analyze the effects of hyperuricemia (HUA) on the prevalence of dyslipidemia in the elderly. MethodsA total of 5 990 elderly people with complete and important variables from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) public database in 2015 were extracted. Their blood lipids, related physiological and biochemical indices, and basic demographic information were collected. The effects of HUA on the prevalence of dyslipidemia in the elderly were analyzed using the probit model, and empirical analysis was performed using the propensity score matching method (PSM). Results Among the 5 990 subjects, 13.6% of the elderly had HUA and the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 37.5%. After correcting the endogeneity among variables, the probability of dyslipidemia in elderly patients with HUA increased by 9.5%-11.7% (P<0.01), in which the probability of high triglyceridemia (TG), high total cholesterol (TC), high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) increased by 10.4%-11.5% (P<0.01), 2.7%-3.8% (P<0.01), 1.7%-2.3% (P<0.05), and 4.3%-4.9% (P<0.05), respectively. Conclusion HUA is associated with various types of dyslipidemia, among which its relationship with high TG and low HDL-C is strong. Targeted interventions should be taken for elderly HUA patients, aiming to reduce the rate of dyslipidemia and promote the goal of "healthy ageing" in China.
