Objective To study the changes in echocardiography in normotensive patients with type2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in order to establish early diagnosis and give preventive measures for diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Methods Microvasculopathy was diagnosed in T2DM patients when microalbuminuria exceeded 15ml/min. Fifty-four T2DM patients were divided into two groups: group A (patients without microvasculopathy, n=32 ), group B (patients with microvasculopathy, n=22). All of T2DM were submitted to echocardiography and the results were compared with healthy people of matched sex and age (group C, n=20). Results There were no differences in systolic function parameters among the groups. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was higher in two groups of diabetics compared with group C. Diastolic dysfunction of various degrees was found in the two groups of diabetics, regardless of the presence of microvasculopathy, with a manifestation of a decrease of blood flow velocity in early diastolic phase and increase in late diastolic phase (P

Objective To investigate the effect of cold pressed Camelina Sativa oil (CPCO) on growth performance and lipid metabolism of hyperlipemia rats. Method The rats were divided into control group (Cont),high fat diet group (HFD),fish oil group (HFD+FO),low dose CPCO group (HFD+LCPCO) and high dose CPCO group (HFD+HCPCO). The latter 4 groups were fed high fat feed. Fo and CPCO were given by gavage. Total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and HDL-C subtype levels in serum were determined at the end of 6w. The distribution of HDL-C particles was studied by agarose gel electrophoresis. Results HFD resulted typical hyperlipemia. Body weight,TC and TG level were significantly decreased,and HDL-C particles tended to be miniaturized and the HDL3 level increased by feeding Camelina Sativa oil as compared with HFD group. TC content in HFD+FO and HFD+HCPCO group was decreased 46.06% and 30.60% respectively. TG content in these two groups was decreased 25.81% and 22.72% respectively as compared with HFD group. Conclusion Chinese Camelina Sativa oil which contained high level of ?-linolenic acid(ALA)could prevent and cure hyperlipidemia by regulating blood lipid metabolism and protecting hepatic function.

Objective To explore the effect of schisanhenol on adipokine expression in 3T3-L1 adipocyte and its related mechanism. Methods 3T3-L1 adipocyte was cultured in vitro and induced to differentiation and maturity. Glucokinase was added to culture medium to make an oxidative model. The expression of adipocytokines were detected under the circumstance of different doses and at different time points of schisanhenol. Results The expression of adiponectin, leptin, resistin and visfatin were decreased with the increase of glucokinase concentration. Concentration-dependent inhibition effect was most obvious in leptin (25 mU/ml Glucokinase vs Blank group, t =7.29, P<0.01). With pretreatment of oxidative stress, the adipocytokines increased as the doses of schisanhenol increased (t=6.31,P<0.01 in adiponectin;t=5.92, P<0.01 in leptin; t=3.77, P<0.05 in resistin; t=3.63,P<0.05 in visfatin). With the extension of schisanhenol effect, the expression of four adipokines showed the process of first decrease-then increase'. The effects of schisanhenol on adipokines were parallel with the alteration of oxidative stress. Conclusions Schisanhenol increased adipocytokines expression in 3T3-L1 adipocyte by reducing oxidative stress, and the increase of leptin and adiponectin were most obvious, which indicated that schisanhenol could play a role in the treatment of diabetes by Chinese herb wuweizi.
