皮肤阻抗等效电路及经络低阻抗原因探讨

将矩形波电压通过两点电极加到人体皮肤表面，得到的电流波形是一些尖脉冲。经络线上的电流波形与非经络线上的波形有差别，表现为低电阻，高电容现象。产生高电容现象的机理目前尚不清楚。本文提出了一个等效电路并探讨了产生高电容现象的原因。     

Effect of sodium citrate on the rate of cholesterol esterification and on the formation of primary products of lipid peroxidation in human blood. Are these processes related?

In vitro experiments show that sodium citrate in a final concentration of 130 mM induces a 4- to 5-fold increase in the activity of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase. A parallel determination of the blood content of primary products of lipid peroxidation reveals a 20–30% decrease in diene and triene conjugates and lipid hydroperoxides.

Influence of serum paraoxonase polymorphism on serum lipids and apolipoproteins

One hundred and sixty-three healthy Chinese subjects of both sexes were studied for serum paraoxonase (PON) polymorphism, and levels of lipids and apolipoproteins in order to examine effects of PON alleles on these parameters. The level of serum triglyceride was significantly higher in high activity allele (PON*B) compared with that in low activity allele (PON*A) in both sexes (P less than 0.01). The subjects with PON A had significantly higher LDL cholesterol (P less than 0.05) and lower Apo A-II and ApoB levels. The influence of serum paraoxonase on serum lipids was estimated further by Spearman's rank correlation. In the males, there was a significant negative correlation of serum paraoxonase activity with total (P less than 0.05) and LDL (P less than 0.01) cholesterol levels, and positive correlation with HDL cholesterol and Apo A-II levels (P less than 0.05). Serum paraoxonase activity had a high positive correlation with serum triglyceride levels in both sexes (P less than 0.001). Serum ApoB level had a positive correlation with the enzyme activity only in females (P less than 0.01). The allelic effect of PON on these parameters was studied by multiple regression analysis. The high activity allele (PON*B) was associated with higher serum triglyceride level (P less than 0.001) and ApoB (P less than 0.001), while it had lowering influence on total cholesterol (P less than 0.05) and LDL cholesterol (P less than 0.005) in men. The average allelic effect of PON was found to be about 22% for serum triglycerides, 11% for LDL cholesterol, 14% for Apo A-II and 19% for Apo B in the present study. This study suggests a possible significant role of serum paraoxonase alleles in the metabolism of serum lipids and apolipoproteins.     

Effect of micronized fenofibrate (Lipanthyl-200M) on cholesterol synthesis in peripheral blood lymphocytes in hyperlipidemic patients with coronary heart disease

The rate of cholesterol synthesis in peripheral blood lymphocytes and plasma lipid and lipoprotein spectra are studied in patients with isolated hypercholesterolemia and combined hyperlipidemias (IIa and IIb hyperlipidemias according to Frederickson classification).¹⁴C-acetate incorporation into cholesterol in peripheral blood lymphocytes is considerably higher in patients with type IIb hyperlipidemia. Lipanthyl-200M reduces the rate of cholesterol synthesis in lymphocytes of both groups. A direct correlation is established between serum triglyceride level and the rate of cholesterol synthesis.

慢性肾功能衰竭红细胞变形能力与红细胞膜的研究

本文报道了慢性肾功能衰竭患者红细胞的变形能力、红细胞膜胆固醇与磷脂比值及膜微粘度。结果表明,红细胞可变形能力明显降低,膜胆固醇与磷脂比值及膜微粘度明显增加,提示红细胞变形能力可能与红细胞膜的流动性有关。

类固醇激素合成急性调节蛋白(StAR)在胆固醇的代谢中发挥重要的作用。近期研究表明StAR同样表达于肝脏组织中，通过调节胆汁酸的合成，增加胆固醇的排泄。这为脂肪肝等脂类代谢异常类疾病的防治提供了一条新的途径。     

Mevalonic acidemia: First case of Japan

Summary Mevalonic acidemia is a rare metabolic disorder due to mevalonate kinase deficiency which affects the biosynthesis of cholesterol and nonsterol isoprenes. We report the first case of Japan. The clinical course is characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, postnatal growth failure, intractable diarrhea, liver dysfunctions and death at three months of age. Dysmorphic features including triangular face, protrusion of forehead, hypertelorism, low set ears and micrognathism were noted. High mevalonic acid level was found by GC/MS.     

Changes in lipid profile variables in response to submaximal and maximal exercise in trained cyclists

This study examined the effect of prolonged submaximal exercise followed by a self-paced maximal performance test on cholesterol (T-Chol), triglycerides (TG), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC). Nine trained male athletes cycled at 70% of maximal oxygen consumption for 60 min, followed by a selfpaced maximal ride for 10 min. Venous blood samples were obtained at rest, at 30 and 60 min during submaximal exercise, and immediately after the performance test. Lactic acid, haematocrit (Hct), haemoglobin (Hb), T-Chol and TG were measured in the blood, while plasma was assayed for HDL-C. Plasma volume changes in response to exercise were calculated from Hct and Hb values and all lipid measurements were corrected accordingly. In order to ascertain the repeatability of lipid responses to exercise, all subjects were re-tested under identical testing conditions and experimental protocols. When data obtained during the two exercise trials were analysed by two-way ANOVA no significant differences (P > 0.05) between tests were observed. Consequently the data obtained during the two testing trials were pooled and analysed by one-way ANOVA. Blood lactic acid increased non-significantly (P > 0.05) during the prolonged submaximal test, but rose markedly (P < 0.05) following the performance ride. Lipid variables ascertained at rest were within the normal range for healthy subjects. ANOVA showed that blood T-Chol and TG were unchanged (P > 0.05), whereas HDL-C rose significantly (P < 0.05) in response to exercise. Post hoc analyses indicated that the latter change was due to a significant rise in HDL-C after the performance ride. It is concluded that apparent favourable changes in lipid profile variables occur in response to prolonged submaximal exercise followed by maximal effort, and these changes showed a good level of agreement over the two testing occasions.     

Familial Similarities of Changes in Cognitive, Behavioral, and Physiological Variables in a Cardiovascular Health Promotion Program

A number of studies have demonstrated that physiological andbehavioral cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors aggregatewithin families. This fact, and the potential mediating rolethat the family plays in behavior change, have led to the developmentof family-based CVD risk reduction programs, including the SanDiego Family Health Project. The aggregation of behavioral,physiological, and cognitive changes within families was assessedduring a 1-year intervention. We found evidence of modest butsignificant aggregation of change. There was more aggregationof change in behavioral variables than in physiological or cognitivevariables. More significant correlations were found among 3-dayfood record measures than among 24-hour recall dietary measures,suggesting an influence of assessment method. Aggregation ofchange within families was stronger within generations thanacross generations. These data point to the importance of involvingall age groups in health promotion programs.
