Objective To study the effects of glucose and lipid metabolism on gallstone formation. Methods Twenty five patients with gallstones and 25 normal volunteer controls were studied from January to April in 1998. The patients were well matched the control with sex and age (1∶1). In the study, Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist-to-Hip circumference ratio (W/H) were measured. Blood glucose, glucosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C), insulin, C peptide and all parameters of lipids were detected at fasting state. The glucose,insulin, C peptide were detected again at 2-hour after taking 75g glucose orally.Results The result showed there was no difference on BMI and W/H between the patients and controls. HbA1C、mean fasting and 2hour glucose concentration were not in significantly different between the two groups (Pgt;0.05, Pgt;0.2, Pgt;0.1 respectively). There were 10 patients with abnormal glucose metabolism (7 with NIDDM, 3 with IGT), but only 4 controls were abnoumal (one with NIDDM, three with IGT). The difference was significant (Plt;0.05). Furthermore, the mean fasting and 2hour insulin concentration of gallstone group was higher than that of the control (Plt;0.02, Plt;0.05). And the gallstone group had a higher fasting C peptide concentration than control (Plt;0.05). There was no statistical difference on the parameters of plasma lipid between the tow groups. Conclusion The study suggests that diabetes mellious and hyperinsulinemia acted as an important role on gallstone formation.
To investigate prospectively the short-term effect of different fat emulsions on plasma lipids and lipoproteins and to clarify the underlying mechanisms. Fifty six surgical patients were randomized to received intravenously either a 10%. Intralipid, a 20% Intralipid or no fat emulsions for 5 days postoperatively as part of a standard parenteral nutrition regimen. Serum lipids and lipoproteins were measured prior to and after the 5-day infusion period. Results: Intravenous administration of 10% Intralipid caused a marked increase of total cholesterol (Tcho), free cholesterol (Fcho), Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-ch), phospholipid and lipoprotein X (LPX). Quantification of LPX revealed that its increase was proportionate to that of phospholipid and Tcho. Conclusion: Exogenous phospholipids when using fat emulsions with a high phospholipid/triglyceride (PL/TG) ratio play an impressive role in the formation of LPX and consequently are capable of inducing hypercholesterolemia after only a few days. Therefore, 20% Intralipid should be preferred to the corresponding 10% Intralipid for its low PL/TG ratio.
Objective To discuss the correlation between the letpin level and the pathogenesis of avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) by measuring the leptin expression of the femoral head in patients with ANFH. Methods Between July 2009 and February 2011, 16 patients with ANFH (including 10 cases of steroid-induced ANFH and 6 cases of alcohol-induced ANFH, ANFH group) and 11 patients with proximal femur fracture (control group) were included in the experiment. There was no significant difference in age, weight, and body mass index between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). The peripheral blood and bone marrow were extracted to measure the blood lipid level and the free fat (FF) content, respectively. ELISA was used to detect the levels of the leptin, soluble leptin receptor (sLR), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (sRANKL); the leptin biological activity and the activity of osteoclasts were calculated. The femoral head specimens were harvested to count leptin-positive cells by immunohistochemical staining. Results No significant difference in the blood lipid level was found between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05), but the FF content in ANFH group was significantly lower than that in control group (t= — 14.230, P=0.000). The intramedullary leptin expression was found in both groups; however, the intramedullary leptin level in ANFH group decreased significantly when compared with the level in control group (t=4.425, P=0.002). There were significant differences in the levels of leptin, OPG, and sRANKL between 2 groups (P lt; 0.05). The leptin biological activity of ANFH group was significantly lower than that of control group (P lt; 0.05), but the activity of osteoclasts of ANFH group was significantly higher than that of control group (P lt; 0.05). There was a positive correlation between the leptin level and leptin biological activity (r=0.922 7, P=0.000 0), and a negative correlation between the leptin level and OPG content (r= — 0.396 2, P=0.040 8), FF content (r= — 0.806 1, P=0.000 0), while it had no correlation between the leptin level and sLR and sRANKL content (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion Intramedullary expression and bioactivity of the leptin decrease significantly in ANFH patients, which may play an important role in the pathogenesis of ANFH.
目的 探讨川崎病（Kawasaki disease，KD）患儿血脂代谢与冠状动脉病变之间的关系。 方法 纳入2007年1月-2009年10月住院治疗的82例KD患儿，检测治疗前后血总胆固醇（TC）、甘油三酯（TG）、高密度脂蛋白（HDL-C）、低密度脂蛋白（LDL-C）、极低密度脂蛋白（VLDL-C）、载脂蛋白A1（ApoA1）及载脂蛋白B100（ApoB100）水平。选取50例健康儿童作为对照。KD患儿在治疗前行超声心动图检查，根据超声心动图显示将KD组再分为冠状动脉病变组（CAL组，n=31）和非冠状动脉病变组（NCAL，n=51）。 结果 治疗前，KD患儿TC、ApoA1、HDLC降低，TG、LDL-C升高，与正常儿童相比有统计学意义（Plt;0.05）。KD患儿CAL组较NCAL组变化更明显，有统计学意义（Plt;0.05）。VLDL-C和ApoB100水平KD患儿与正常儿童比较、NCAL组与CAL组比较变化均不明显（Pgt;0.05）。治疗后与治疗前相比，NCAL组TC、TG、HDL-C、LDL-C、ApoA1恢复正常（Plt;0.05）），而CAL组仅TC、LDL-C、ApoA1恢复正常（Plt;0.05）。 结论 KD患儿存在血脂代谢紊乱，TC、TG、HDL-C、LDL-C、ApoA1与冠状动脉的损害有关，应早期进行干预。

Conclusions The formation of cholesterol calculus disease is a kind of interaction and intricate disease process involving of environmental factors, genetic factors, and biological factors. Although there has been a lot of blood lipid, protein correlation research with cholesterol stone, there are also many studies such as using gene transplantation and gene knockout, but gene technology of cholesterol stone disease diagnosis and treatment is expected to become the new hot research topic.
Objectives To systematically review the association between TM6SF2 (transmembrane six superfamily member 2- rs58592426) polymorphism and liver lesion and the severity of liver fibrosis. Methods We electronically searched databases including PubMed, CNKI, WanFang Data and CBM from inception to January 27, 2016, to collect cross-sectional studies about the association between the TM6SF2 polymorphism and the liver lesion and the severity of liver fibrosis. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the methodological quality included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using Stata 12.0 software. Results A total of 23 studies including 96 594 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: TM6SF2 polymorphism was associated with increased risk of the severity of liver fibrosis, the levels of TG, TC and LDL-C (all P values < 0.05). Carriers of the T allele showed lower levels of TG, TC, and LDL-C. Carriers of the T allele revealed higher levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) when compared with homozygous EE. Conclusion TM6SF2 polymorphism is associated with lipid traits in different population, the variants shows lower levels of lipid traits in blood serum and increases the risk of the severity of liver fibrosis and liver lesion.
