  • A Study of Endotoxin Release Induced by Different Antibiotics in Gram Negative Bacterial Infection

    Objective To study endotoxin release induced by differential antibiotics in gram negative bacterial infection. Methods Thirty critical patients accompanied with gram negative bacterial infection were divided into group A (imipenem group, n=15) and group B (ceftazidine group, n=15). Imipenem (0.5 g iv q8h) and ceftazidine (1.0 g iv q8h) were given respectively. White blood cell (WBC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), lipopoly sacchride (LPS), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) were determined in 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 day. Results There was no difference in the change of WBC between two groups. Group A had a more stable SBP than group B. There was lower endotoxin release in group A than in group B and so were the cytokines release. HDL level was lower in group B than in group A. Conclusion Imipenem has lower endotoxinliberating potential than ceftazidine and mediate lower cytokines release. HDL may protect the patients from LPS damage.

  • EFFECT OF LOW DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN RECEPTOR ACTIVITY OF HEPATOCYTE ON BILE ACID DURING GALLSTONE FORMATION (AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY)

    To study the mechanism of cholesterol gallstone formation, rabbit models were induced by feeding with high cholesterol diet. Bile acids were tested with bi-wavelengh thin layer scan and low density lipoprotein receptor activity of hepatocytes binding to 125I-LDL were tested with radio immunoassay in different feeding phases as 1,2,3 and 4-week groups, as well as the control group. The results showed that cholesterol gallstones in 2,3 and 4-week groups were induced in respectively. The contents of glucocholic acid (GCA) in bile were decreased significantly (vs control group, P<0.05). The Bmax values of LDL receptor of hepatocytes binding to 125I-LDL were decreased significantly (P<0.05). Kd values of those gradually increased (P<0.05). These suggest that the decreased activity of LDL receptor of hepatocytes would reduce the synthesis of GCA, thus resulting in the formation of cholesterol gallstones.

  • APOLIPOPROTEIN E GENE POLYMORPHISMS,DYSLIPIDEMIA AND CHOLECYSTOLITHIASIS

    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.

  • Association of Apolipoprotein E Polymorphism and Alzheimer’s Disease in Chinese Population: A Meta-analysis

    Objective To evaluate the relationship between genetic polymorphism of ApoE and Alzheimer’s disease in Chinese population. Methods Such databases as PubMed, EBSCO, CNKI, CBM, and WangFang Data were searched from their establishment to December 2010 to collect the literature about the relationship between genetic polymorphism of ApoE and Alzheimer’s disease in Chinese population. RevMan 5.0 was adopted to conduct consistency check and data merging, and to evaluate publication bias. Results ApoEε4 was the risky allele (Plt;0.05) in Chinese population, and its pooled odds ratios and 95%CI was 3.53 (2.49 to 5.00). ApoEε3 was the protective alleles (Plt;0.05) in Chinese population, and its pooled odds ratios and 95%CI was 0.52 (0.40 to 0.68). ApoEε4/ε4, ApoEε4/ε3, and ApoEε4/ε2 were the risky genotypes (all Plt;0.05) in Chinese population, and their pooled odds ratios and 95%CI were 10.17 (4.25 to 24.19), 2.57 (2.04 to 3.25), and 1.94 (1.13 to 3.34), respectively. ApoEε3/ε3 was the protective genotype (Plt;0.05) in Chinese population, and its pooled odds ratios and 95%CI was 0.67 (0.57 to 0.77). Conclusion In Chinese population, some ApoE alleles and genotypes are associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

  • CHANGES OF HDL RECEPTOR AND LDL RECEPTOR ACTIVITY OF HEPATOCYTES DURING CHOLESTEROL GALLSTONE FORMATION IN RABBIT MODEL

    Objective In order to study the mechanism of cholesterol gallstone formation through rabbit model which was induced by high cholesterol diet (HCD)Methods the activities of the high density lipoprotein receptor (HDLR) and low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) of hepatocytes were investigated. Results The results were as follows: The HDLR activity increased significantly after taking HCD for one week, at the same time, the LDLR activity only increased slightly. Thereafter, the activities of HDLR and LDLR all decreased markedly. As the time of animals taking HCD went on, serum total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and hepatic cholesterol increased, but bile acids of biliary tract decreased gradually. Conclusion The results suggest that the changes of HDLR and LDLR activities of hepatocytes had no significant effect on bile cholesterol and the decreased HDLR and LDLR activities may cause the reduction some of substrate for bile acids synthesise and play an important role in the formation of gallstone.

  • Relationship Between Ratio of Serum Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol to High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Pathological Staging of Colorectal Cancer

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the relationship between low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) of preoperation (L/H value for short) and the pathological staging of colorectal cancer. MethodsThe clinical data of 187 patients with colorectal cancer who treated in PLA General Hospital from July 2009 to June 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsThere were statistical significance in L/H value among different TNM stagings, N stagings, and M stagings (P<0.05):L/H value of TNM Ⅳ staging was higher than those of TNM Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ staging, L/H values of N1 staging and N0 staging were lower than that of N2 staging, L/H value of M1 staging was higher than that of M0 staging. However, there was no statistical significance in L/H value among different T stagings of colorectal cancer (P>0.05). Logistic regression results showed that L/H value were positively associated with TNM staging (OR=4.34, 95% CI:2.837-6.644, P<0.000 1), T staging (OR=1.72, 95% CI:1.175-2.512, P=0.005 3), N staging (OR=2.15, 95% CI:1.422-3.254, P=0.000 3), and M staging (OR=3.04, 95% CI:1.733-5.332, P=0.000 1) of colorectal cancer, and patient with higher L/H value took more risk of progression of tumor, lymph node metastases, and distant metastasis. ConclusionsRaise of preoperative L/H value is an independent risk factor for the progression of TNM staging, T staging, N staging, and M staging in colorectal cancer.
