The advantages of non-contact medical monitoring radar were introduced compared with the traditional medical monitoring devices. The state of art of three kinds of typical medical monitoring radar schemes over the past decade was reviewed. Researches on breathing and heartbeat signal extraction, isolation and clutter suppression algorithms were summarized. The advantages and disadvantages of these algorithms were also pointed out. The prospects of non-contact medical monitoring radar were explored finally.

In order to obersve the effect of dexamethasone on the secretion of apolipoproteins A Ⅰ, A Ⅱ, C Ⅲ, B100 and E by cultured HepG2 cells.The apolipoprotiens contents in culture media were measured by radioimmuodiffusion assay (RID) kits developed by authors' research unit. 20-fold lyophilizely condensed culture media were used for the assays. The results showed that dexamethasone can increase the secretion of apoC and E, and inhibit the secretion of apoAⅡ , B100 and CⅢ; and the effect of dexamethasone were strengthened in a dose-dependent manner. When the concentration of dexamethasone was 5.5 × 10-5mol/L in the culture media, the secretion of apolipoprotein A Ⅰ and E increased 36.6% and 49.4%(P ＜ 0.01) respectively, while the secretion of apo AⅡ , B100 and CⅢ decreased 38.9%、 31.9% and 29.8% (P＜0.01) respectively.

AIM: To study the effects of oxidative modification lipoproteins on blood coagulation and fibrino (lysis) in vitro. METHODS: Normal human plasma VLDL, LDL and HDL, which were isolated by density gradient ultracentrifugation method, were oxidatively modified by Cu~(2+) and HOCl method. N-VLDL, Ox-VLDL, N-LDL, Ox-LDL, N-HDL, Ox-HDL were added to the reaction system which consisted of mixed fresh normal plasma respectively, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thrombplastin time (APTT), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and platelet aggregation were measured according to the direction of the kits. RESULTS: The relative electrophoretic mobility (REM), absorbance at 234nm and TBARS of oxidized VLDL, LDL and HDL mediated by HOCl or Cu~(2+) were significantly higher than that of the control group (P

Objective　 To investigate apolipoprotein(apo) E polymorphism and its relationship with serum lipids and apolipoproteins in Chinese patients with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia(HTG). Methods　 apoE genotype was assayed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP), serum lipids were determined by enzyme method, and apolipoproteins were measured by radial immunodiffusion assay in 225 endogenous HTG patients whose fasting serum TG levels were ≥2.26 mmol/L and in 230 healthy subjects whose fasting serum lipids levels were TG<1.82 mmol/L, TC<6.21 mmol/L from a population of Chinese Han nationality in Chengdu area. Results　 Compared with the controls, the values of BMI,TG, TC, nHDLC, apoB100,CⅡ, CⅢ, E and TG/HDLC in HTG patients were significantly increased and the values of HDLC, apoAⅠ and apoE/apoCⅢ were significantly decreased(P<0.001). apoE3/3 genotype and allele ε3 frequency in HTG group and the control group were both the highest, and allele ε2 frequency in HTG group tended to increase than that in the control group(P>0.05). Both in HTG group and control group, the genotype of apoE2 had higher serum TG and apoE levels, lower LDLC level and decreased apoE/apoCⅢ ratio as compared with the genotype of apoE3 or apoE4(P<0.001). Conclusion　 Allele ε2 of apoE gene was associated with higher serum TG and apoE levels and lower serum LDLC level, and the lower ratio of apoE/apoCⅢ was associated with the higher serum level of TG in endogenous HTG.

Objective To explore whether Pvu Ⅱ restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) in the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene are associated with hypertriglyceridemics (HTG).Methods Pvu Ⅱ restriction fragment length polymorphisms in the lipoprotein lipase gene on a sample of 135 HTG patients and 193 age-matched healthy individuals in Chengdu area were detected with the method of PCR-RFLP.Results The P+P+ genotype frequency and P+ allelic frequency of LPL gene for HTG cases are higher than those for control groups (0.460 vs 0.337, P<0.05; 0.689 vs 0.565, P<0.01). The serum levels of TG, apoC Ⅱ, apoC Ⅲ, apoE and TG/HDL-C in P+P+ genotype are higher than those in P-P- genotype (P<0.05).Conclusion The results suggest that P+P+ genotype in the lipoprotein lipase gene is associated with susceptibility to hypertriglyceridemics in Chinese population.

OBJECTIVEThe aim of this study was to investigate variations of apolipoprotein A IV (apo A IV) gene and its relation to endogenous hypertriglyceridemia(HTG) in Chinese population.

METHODSOne hundred and six endogenous hypertriglyceridemics and 171 healthy subjects from a population of Chinese Han nationality in Chengdu area were studied using restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and sequencing of apoA IV gene amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The polymorphic sites of apo A IV gene studied included codon 9 (A to G, synonymous mutation), codon 347 (A to T, non-synonymous mutation), codon 360 (G to T, non-synonymous mutation), and Msp I polymorphism (CC/TGG) within intron 2.

RESULTSThe frequency of G allele at codon 9 in HTG group was higher than that in healthy controls(0.453 vs 0.366, P<0.05). The other polymorphic sites showed no significant differences of the allele frequencies between the two groups. The frequencies of rare alleles, such as G allele at codon 9, T allele at codon 347 and T allele at codon 360 polymorphic site were significantly different from those reported in European Caucasians (0.366 vs 0.032, P<0.001, 0.000 vs 0.160, P<0.001; 0.000 vs 0.070, P<0.001), but no differences were found when compared with those in Japanese, including Msp I site (P>0.05). In the healthy male control group, subjects with genotype G/G of codon 9 had a higher serum mean concentration of apoA I when compared with that of genotype A/A(P<0.01). In the HTG group, subjects with genotype C/T of Msp I site had a higher serum mean concentration of TG with compared with those with genotype C/C and T/T (P<0.05). This difference was only observed in male HTG group when male and female subgroups were further separated.

CONCLUSIONThese results suggest that Msp I and codon 9 polymorphism in apoA IV gene are associated with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia to some extent in Chinese population.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the G-protein beta 3 subunit (GNB3) gene 825C/T polymorphism and its relationship to obesity in Chinese population.

METHODSThree hundred and ninety nine subjects (270 non-obese and 129 obese individuals) from a population of Chinese Han nationality in Chengdu area were studied using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLPs). Serum lipids were measured by enzymatic kits and apolipoproteins A I, A II, B100, C II, C III and E were measured by RID kits.

RESULTSThe frequencies of C and T alleles at the 825C/T site in obese and non-obese groups were 0.531 and 0.469, and 0.528 and 0.472, respectively. It showed no significant difference in both genotypes and allele frequencies between the non-obese and obese groups (P> 0.05). The frequency of T allele at 825C/T site in GNB3 gene in the population (0.471) was significantly higher than that of German white (0.319), lower than that of African black (0.788), and similar to that of Japanese (0.487). In the non-obese group, subjects with genotype TT had higher serum triglyceride(TG) concentrations than those with genotype CT (P< 0.05). In the obese group, subjects with genotype CC had lower serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) levels than those with CT genotype (P< 0.05). Similar results were only observed in non-obese male and obese female subgroups, respectively, when male and female subgroups were further separated in the two groups. In addition, non-obese males with genotype TT and obese females with genotype CC had lower HDL-C and higher apoA I levels than those with genotype CT, respectively. Obese males with genotype TT had higher apoA I levels than those with genotype CC.

CONCLUSIONThe 825C/T polymorphism in the GNB3 gene was not associated with obesity in Chinese Han population of Chengdu area. However, it may be associated with serum triglyceride, HDL-C and apoAI levels, with some gender-specific effect, in this population.
