血脂比值与冠脉狭窄程度的相关分析

目的探讨冠心病患者的血脂比值和单项血脂与冠脉狭窄严重程度的相关性。方法对已行冠状动脉造影的阳性病人(最少有一支血管狭窄≥50%)的各项血脂及其比值进行检测,并与其冠脉狭窄程度进行相关分析。结果①在单项血脂中,TG、CHO、LDL、LP(a)均与冠脉狭窄程度呈正相关,而HDL和apoA与冠脉狭窄程度呈负相关。②在血脂比值中,CHO/HDL、apoB/apoA TG/apoA、CHO/apoA LDL/apoA值均随冠脉狭窄程度加重而增加,且差异有显著性意义。③血脂比值比单项血脂反映CAD的敏感度更高。结论:对于CAD患者,血脂比值反映冠脉狭窄的严重程度较单项血脂更敏感更早期。     

Oxidative injury and antioxidant vitamins E and C in Schizophrenia

Susceptibility of Schizophrenic patients to lipid peroxidation relative to healthy control subjects was investigated by measuring the malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in plasma. The main finding was that Schizophrenic patients were more susceptible than control subjects to oxidative damage as evident from increased MDA levels in plasma. Antioxidant levels are also depleted in Schizophrenic patients when compared to normal subjects as evident from decreased levels of vitamins E and C in the plasma. Impaired antioxidant defense and increased lipid peroxidation suggests that treatment with antioxidants (Vitamin E, Vitamin C, beta carotene) at the initial stages of illness may prevent further oxidative injury and deterioration of associated neurological deficits in Schizophrenia.     

Evaluation of antioxidant properties of berries

The present paper focuses on assessing the levels of various enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants in selected berries of Indian sub-continent viz., gooseberry, grapes, orange and tomato. This study has revealed that orange, tomato and grapes possess predominant quantities of enzymatic antioxidants namely SOD, catalase and glutathione peroxidase respectively. The levels of antioxidants analyzed namely reduced glutathione, vitamin C and vitamin A were maximal in grapes, orange and tomato respectively. All the extracts of berries included in the present study inhibited iron inducedin vitro lipid peroxidation in erythrocytes, the extend of inhibition being highest for gooseberry and orange compared to tomato and grapes which could be attributed to their in-built antioxidant system.     

Role of Oxidative Stress in Various Stages of Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory, proliferative skin disease characterized by pathological skin lesions due to various exogenous and endogenous factors. It is associated with a number of biochemical and immunological disturbances. Recently, it has been suggested that increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and compromised function of antioxidant system may be involved in the pathogenesis of this disease. In the present study, 90 psoriasis patients were selected. Disease severity was assessed by psoriasis area severity index score and grouped as mild, moderate and severe (each group consists of 30 subjects) and compared with 30 healthy controls. Serum levels of malondialdehyde, nitric oxide end products and the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as erythrocyte-superoxide dismutase, catalase and total antioxidant status were investigated in these groups/subjects. As compared to controls, we found severitywise significantly increased serum malondialdehyde, nitric oxide end products with decrease in erythrocyte-superoxide dismutase activity, catalase activity and total antioxidant status in patients with psoriasis suggesting worsening of the disease. It seems to be linked with the enhancement of Reactive Oxygen Species production and decreased antioxidant potential in psoriasis.     

木兰拳练习对女性高血压病患者红细胞变形性的影响——与红细胞膜脂质成分关系的初步研究

采用实验测试的方法，研究长期规律木兰拳练习对绝经期女性高血压病患者红细胞变形性的影响，以及红细胞变形性与红细胞膜脂质成分的可能关系。结果发现，在绝经期进行长期规律木兰拳练习，可以显著改善女性高血压病患者红细胞膜脂质成分，这种红细胞膜脂质成分的改善，包括膜胆固醇(CHO)与膜C／PL比值．与红细胞变形能力的改善有密切关系。     

Free radical generation and lipid peroxidation among the dry cell industry workers exposed to carbon

A total of 75 healthy male dry cell industry workers exposed to carbon for 5, 8 and 10 years were compared with 48 controls matched for age and economic status with respect to free radical generation, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant levels. Lymphocytes were seperated from the whole blood and used for estimation of free radicals and antioxidants. Plasma lipid peroxidation products were estimated in the form of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. Significant increase in free radical generation and lipid peroxidation products were observed in carbon exposed population than controls, and the increase was found to be significant with increase in the period of exposure. The levels of antioxidants i.e., superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase were found to decrease with the increase in exposure to carbon in industrial workers. These results suggest that exposure to carbon augments free radical generation, lipid peroxidation and promotes decline in antioxidant enzymes.     

锰对大豆膜脂过氧化及POD和CAT活性的影响研究

利用水培方法,研究了不同锰浓度(0、0.003、0.03、3、3.0、30mg/kg)对浙春2号和浙春3号大豆膜脂过氧化和POD(过氧化物酶)和CAT(过氧化氢酶)活性的影响。结果表明：高锰(30mg/kg)和缺锰胁迫将显著增加了质膜透性,大大降低了POD和CAT的活性;而适量的锰(0．03—3mg/kg)对于提高POD和CAT的活性,降低质膜透性都有积极的作用。2个大豆品种对锰的反应存在一定的基因型差异,浙春2号对缺锰和高锰胁迫的抵御能力大于浙春3号。     

顽拗性种子低温敏感性与膜脂过氧化的研究

木菠萝和黄皮种子在湿藏过程中对低温敏感,随着温度下降,种子的发芽率、萌发指数和超氧物歧化酶的活性下降,丙二醛和脂质氢过氧化物的含量增加。其低温敏感性的原因可能是种子在低温湿藏时,发生膜脂过氧化作用,从而使膜脂丧失,膜的结构和功能受到损伤,种子的生活力丧失。     

游泳加中药淫羊藿综合疗法对去势大鼠血脂的影响

妇女绝经后雌激素的缺乏易导致骨质疏松的发生,也易导致绝经期机体脂代谢的紊乱。利用去势大鼠骨质疏松模型,观察了游泳、中药淫羊藿以及游泳加中药等几种防治手段对去势大鼠血脂主要生化指标的影响。结果表明：中药淫羊藿、游泳以及游泳加中药淫羊藿综合疗法等几种防治方法均能通过降低甘油三酯（TG）、低密度脂蛋备（LDL）防治去势大鼠发生高血脂从而避免引发心脑血管疾病,其中游泳加中药淫羊藿综合疗法降脂作用要优于单纯运动及中药组。
