Objective: To investigate the effects of different concentrations of vitamin E (VE) on angiogenesis and its possible mechanism. Methods: The rings of rat aorta were embedded in gels of collagen and cultured in a serum free medium for 28 days. Curves of microvessels growth were generated by counting the number of newly formed microvessels every day with an inverted microscope. Photos were taken at the same time. Expression of factor FVIII related antigen (FVIII RAg) in newly formed microvessels was detected by immunohistochemistry. Concentration change of FVIII R in medium was evaluated by ELISA. Results: Both 0.2 g/L and 0.1 g/L VE showed significant inhibitory effect on angiogenesis (P0.05). The inhibitory effect of VE was expressed in the phases of microvessel growth and decline (10-25 d). Conclusion: 1.Three dimensional collagen gels culture of microvessel in serum free medium can be used as a sensitive assay for study of soluble and solid phase angiogenic agonists and antagonists. 2. Both 0.1 g/L and 0.2 g/L VE inhibit angiogenesis, and VE has no toxicity and no drug resistance.

The body fat measurements in old persons were carried out using two indirect methods; hydrostatic weighing and skinfold measurement.In comparison it was discovered that the skinfold measurement was significantly different from hydrostatic weighing method. Based on data of the circumference measurements which included forearm circumference (xl), arm circumference (x2), leg circumference(x3) thigh circumference(x4), abdomen circumference (x5) and buttock circumference(x6), two regression equations for the percentage of the body fat measurements were established as follows: male: F(%)=- 15.88 + 1.37BMI + 0.0102Y, female. F(%)= -34.9684 + 0.51BMI + 0.1469Y. Where Y = x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 + x6; BM1 (Body mass index) = weight(kg)/height(m)2Because the systematic error of skinfold measurements was bigger than those of circumference measurements, it was suggested that the above regression models could be used to estimate body fat in a simpler and easier way. At the same time the method of using percentage of body fat to classify obesity was compared with other two methods, excess body weight and BMI. The results showed that the rate of obesity based on BMI method was higher, and that based on excess body weight was lower than that of percentage of body fat measured by the water displacement method.

Objective To investigate the relationship between glucose tolerance change and the coronary artery lesion in the patients with coronary heart disease. Methods One hundred and ninety three patients with coronary artery disease were divided into 3 groups according to WHO(1985) and American Diabetes Association (1997) standard of diabetic diagnoses: (1) normal glucose tolerance (NGT) group 122 cases; (2) impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) group 39 cases; (3) type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) group 32 cases. All patients were examined by the coronary angiographic semiquantitative (CAG) and 75 g oral glucose tolerance test. Blood glucose, insulin, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL C) were determined. The coronary artery changes were analysed by CAG, and the severity of coronary artery stenosis was evaluated according to American Heart Association standard. The risk factors of coronary artery lesion were analysed by pluralism stepwiss regression analysis. Results The coronary multivessel changes and the severity of coronary artery stenosis and calcification were more frequent in IGT group than those in NGT group (66.5% vs 35.1%, 8.9?3.6 vs 6.5?3.9, 6.3?3.6 vs 3.9?4.1 respectively, P
