鱼油抗大鼠动脉粥样硬化的实验研究

以大鼠高脂血症及动脉粥样硬化模型观察鱼油的作用，并与舒降之、诺衡比较。鱼油组血清总胆固醇（ＴＣ）、甘油三酯（ＴＧ）、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（ＬＤＬ－Ｃ）及ＬＤＬ－Ｃ／ＴＣ显著低于高脂组（均为Ｐ＜０．０１）；生化与病理检查提示鱼油能防止肝内脂质沉积，减少肝组织脂质过氧化物水平；鱼油能明显抑制高脂饮食造成的早期动脉粥样硬化病变。鱼油降ＴＧ的作用与舒降之及诺衡无明显差异，降ＴＣ的效果优于诺衡（Ｐ＜０．０５），改变脂蛋白成分的作用不及舒降之与诺衡。研究表明鱼油能延缓大鼠高脂血症和动脉粥样硬化的发生与发展。

Thrombotic occlusion of the common carotid artery (CCA) in acute ischemic stroke treated with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (TPA)

Although common carotid artery (CCA) occlusions are rare, acute clinical presentations vary from mild to devastating strokes primarily due to tandem occlusions in the intracranial arteries. Three patients with acute CCA occlusions were treated with systemic tissue plasminogen activator (TPA). Blood pressures were kept at the upper limits allowed with TPA therapy with fluid balance and the 'head-down' position. Recanalization occurred in intracranial vessels only. Marked early neurological improvement occurred in two of three patients. CCA occlusions should not be considered contra-indication to systemic thrombolysis.     

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, the metabolic syndrome and the risk of cardiovascular disease: the plot thickens.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects a substantial proportion of the general population and is frequently associated with many features of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Currently, the importance of NAFLD and its relationship with the MetS is being increasingly recognized, and this has stimulated an interest in the possible role of NAFLD in the development of atherosclerosis. Recent studies have reported the association of NAFLD with multiple classical and non-classical risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Moreover, there is a strong association between the severity of liver histopathology in NAFLD patients and greater carotid artery intima-media thickness and plaque, and lower endothelial flow-mediated vasodilation (as markers of subclinical atherosclerosis) independent of obesity and other MetS components. Finally, it has recently been demonstrated that NAFLD is associated with an increased risk of all-cause death and predicts future CVD events independently of other prognostic factors, including MetS components. Overall, therefore, the evidence from these recent studies strongly emphasizes the importance of assessing the global CVD risk in patients with NAFLD. Moreover, these novel findings suggest a more complex picture and raise the possibility that NAFLD, as a component of the MetS, might not only be a marker but also an early mediator of CVD.     

载脂蛋白E基因多态性与颈动脉粥样硬化的相关性研究

目的:研究载脂蛋白E(ApoE)基因多态性与颈动脉粥样硬化的相关性。方法:应用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)技术,对25例B超检测颈动脉内中膜厚度(IMT)增厚患者(增厚组)和25例同期健康体检者(对照组)的ApoE基因多态性进行分析。结果:IMT增厚组ε3等位基因频率较对照组降低(P<0.05),ε4等位基因频率较对照组升高(P<0.01)。IMT增厚组的ε3/ε4基因型频率显著要高于对照组。对以上两组再按ApoE基因型分别分为3组:ApoE2(ε2/2 ε2/3),ApoE3(ε3/3)和ApoE4(ε3/4 ε4/4)。结果显示颈动脉IMT在不同基因型间差异显著,ApoE4组显著增加,颈动脉多发斑块率在此组也显著增加。结论:ApoE基因多态性与颈动脉粥样硬化形成有相关性,ε4基因是颈动脉粥样硬化形成的危险因子。

Low HDL‐cholesterol is common in European Type 2 diabetic patients receiving treatment for dyslipidaemia: data from a pan‐European survey

Aims To measure the prevalence of low high‐density lipoprotein (HDL)‐cholesterol (men < 1.03 mmol/l; women < 1.29 mmol/l) in European Type 2 diabetic patients receiving treatment for dyslipidaemia. Methods The pan‐European Survey of HDL‐cholesterol measured lipids and other cardiovascular risk factors in 3866 patients with Type 2 diabetes and 4436 non‐diabetic patients undergoing treatment for dyslipidaemia in 11 European countries. Results Diabetic patients were more likely to be obese or hypertensive than non‐diabetic patients. Most patients received lifestyle interventions (87%) and/or a statin (89%); treatment patterns were similar between groups. Diabetic patients had [means (SD)] lower HDL‐cholesterol [1.22 (0.37) vs. 1.35 mmol/l (0.44) vs. non‐diabetic patients, P < 0.001] and higher triglycerides [2.32 (2.10) vs. 1.85 mmol/l (1.60), P < 0.001]. More diabetic vs. non‐diabetic patients had low HDL‐cholesterol (45% vs. 30%), high triglycerides (≥ 1.7 mmol/l; 57% vs. 42%) or both (32% vs. 19%). HDL‐cholesterol < 0.9 mmol/l was observed in 18% of diabetic and 12% of non‐diabetic subjects. Differences between diabetic and non‐diabetic groups were slightly greater for women. LDL‐ and total cholesterol were lower in the diabetic group [3.02 (1.05) vs. 3.30 mmol/l (1.14) and 5.12 (1.32) vs. 5.38 mmol/l (1.34), respectively, P < 0.001 for each]. Conclusions Low HDL‐cholesterol is common in diabetes: one in two diabetic women has low HDL‐cholesterol and one diabetic man in four has very low HDL‐cholesterol. Management strategies should include correction of low HDL‐cholesterol to optimize cardiovascular risk in diabetes.
