男性青少年性腺功能减退症患者短期雄激素替代治疗对血脂和hsCRP水平的影响

目的 探讨性腺功能低减的青少年男性，短期雄激素替代治疗对血脂和超敏C反应蛋白（hsCRP）的影响。方法 本研究为前瞻性自身对照研究，共纳入33例性腺功能减退青少年男性。行短期（9个月）雄激素替代治疗，比较治疗前后血睾酮水平、第二性征发育程度、身高、握力、血红蛋白、血脂和hsCRP的差异。结果 （1）替代治疗后，睾酮水平明显升高，第二性征明显发育，身高、握力、血红蛋白显著增加（P值均〈0.05）；（2）短期雄激素替代治疗后，总胆固醇（TC），低密度脂蛋白（LDL-c），高密度脂蛋白（HDL-c）和甘油三酯（TG）部有所下降，但无统计学差异（P〉0．5）。超敏CRP显著下降（P=0.025）。结论 （1）性腺功能低减的青少年男性，短期雄激素替代治疗，可以促进第二性征发育，增加身高、握力和血红蛋白；（2）短期雄激素替代治疗，对血脂无显著性影响。但是，可以使hsCRP明显下降。     

The effect of seamustard on blood lipid profiles and glucose level of rats fed diet with different energy composition

Recently, Korean people are consuming seaweeds almost 3.5 times more now than three decades ago. It is well known that seaweeds contain lots of soluble dietary fiber in addition to micronutrients such as β-carotene, iodine and some bioactive components. Seaweeds are considered to be effective for preventing chronic diseases including obesity, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, cancer or constipation. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of seamustard intake on body weight gain, blood glucose level and lipid profiles in rats fed diets with different energy nutrient composition. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (average initial weight 103.7 g) were divided into groups for two experiments as follows; Control, M2.5 & M5 groups (Exp. I) and M5, M10, HCM5, HCM10, HFM5 & HFM10 groups (Exp. II). The rats were fed diet and water ad libitum for 4 weeks. In general, there was no significant difference in blood glucose and triglyceride concentration among groups. In Exp. I, serum LDL-cholesterol level of rats fed diet with 5% seamustard powder (M5) was significantly lower than that of control group, while HDL-cholesterol level, TC/LDL ratio and weight of adrenal gland were higher. In Exp. II, food intake, body weight gain and EER of high fat diet with 10% seamustard group (HFM10) were the lowest among groups. Except gastrocnemius muscle, all organ weights of HFM10 group were the lowest. Fecal cholesterol excretion and serum LDL-cholesterol concentration of HFM10 group were the highest, while serum HDL-cholesterol level was the lowest among groups. Interestingly, HDL-cholesterol concentration was the highest in HCM5 group among groups. From these results, it was suggested that seamustard intake might be more effective for body weight control, but not for improving blood lipid profiles in high fat diet than in high carbohydrate diet.     

Improvement of endoneurial lipid abnormalities in experimental diabetic neuropathy by oxygen modification

Endoneurial hypoxia and a high frequency of closed capillaries have been found in chronic experimental diabetes and human diabetic sural nerve, respectively. These findings have led to the hypothesis that the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy is due to endoneurial hypoxia. To evaluate the role of endoneurial hypoxia in experimental diabetic neuropathy, the effects of supplementation and deprivation of oxygen on peripheral nerve lipid biosynthesis were studied in normal control and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Defective lipid biosynthesis in diabetic nerve was partially prevented by oxygen supplementation. When normal rats were placed in a hypoxic chamber, lipid abnormalities similar to those observed in diabetic nerves were demonstrated in the absence of changes in nerve free sugars. These findings suggest that endoneurial hypoxia may underlie some key biochemical abnormalities encountered in experimental diabetic neuropathy.     

Effect of ozonized normal saline on biochemical parameters of the liver in malignant growth

Injection of ozonized normal saline to animals with transplanted sarcoma-45 normalized energy metabolism in the liver, which is important for this organ's function under conditions of malignant growth.

Correlation between the parameters of free-radical lipid peroxidation and antioxidant system in children living in the north

A comparative study of the parameters of free-radical lipid peroxidation and antioxidant system was performed in children living in the North for various time periods. Intense lipid peroxidation was shown to be the key factor in the pathogeneses of several diseases caused by disturbances in the cellular membrane. Decreased resistance of red blood cells to peroxidative hemolysis is a phenomenon characterizing the adaptation-violating processes.

茶多酚对老化相关酶GSH－Px、SOD及代谢产物过氧化脂质的影响

本实验研究了连续服用茶多酚２０天，对１４月龄小鼠血及肝中ＳＯＤ、ＧＳＨ－Ｐｘ和ＬＰＯ的影响。结果表明茶多酚能提高血及肝中ＳＯＤ及ＧＳＨ－Ｐｘ活性，与正常对照组比较Ｐ＜０．０１，同时能降低血及肝中ＬＰＯ含量，与正常对照组比较Ｐ＜０．０１。提示茶多酚可通过降低机体自由基水平，起到抗衰老作用。     

镉对肾脏的毒作用

雄性Ｗｉｓｔａｒ大鼠２４只，随机等分为４组，皮下注射不同剂量的ＣｄＭＴ。结果显示镉接触组尿钙和尿蛋白都高于对照组；肾皮质钠泵和钙泵活性低于对照组，体外试验也显示镉能抑制钙泵活性，ＧＳＨ和半胱氨酸对这种抑制有保护作用；肾皮质ＧＳＨ含量低于对照组，ＭＤＡ含量则高于对照组，但肝脏的这两个指标无变化；高剂量组ｃＡＭＰ／ｃＧＭＰ的比值低于对照组。提示脂质过氧化和钙代谢障碍是镉引起肾损害的机理之一。

目的:制备结合凝血酶原复合物(PCC)的阴离子脂膜微泡,评价微泡的理化性质。材料和方法:采用机械振荡直接连接法,分两组(于机械振荡之前或之后加入),制备结合PCC的阴离子脂膜微泡,观察并检测洗涤前后微泡的理化性质。结果:微泡与PCC的结合率及Ⅸ因子活性:两组间比较无明显差异(P>0.05),但洗涤后结合率由洗涤前的95%降为80%,活性由90%降为19%。结论:直接连接法可制备结合PCC的阴离子脂膜微泡,微泡与PCC结合率较高,且洗涤前能保持Ⅸ因子较高的活性。     

Lipid peroxidation in several brain regions during development of post-stress depressions in rats with different strategies of adaptive behavior

Lipid peroxidation in the brain cortex, striatum, hippocampus, and hypothalamus of rats of the KLA and KHA lines which were distinguished by their strategies of adaptive behavior was investigated following emotional-painful stress. Significant long-term changes in lipid peroxidation were shown to occur in the brain. These had a phase character and depended on the behavioral characteristics of the animals. The investigated brain regions were characterized by different reactions of lipid peroxidation to the stress. The induced depressive-like states (on the 21st day after the stress) in rats of the KLA and KHA lines were distinguished by the largest changes in lipid peroxidation in the striatum and hypothalamus and in the striatum and hippocampus, respectively. One could conclude on the basis of these results that both identical and different mechanisms of formation and development of depression existed in the animals with different behavioral strategies.
