1.The relation of hyperlipidemia, lipid peroxidation, anti-oxidative enzyme activity to atherosclerosis
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(03):-
Atherosclerotic model of rabbit was established by feeding heavy dosage ofcholesterol for 60 days and then withdrew it for 30 days. The relation between cholesterolcontent, lipld peroxide (LPO), activity of antioxidative enzyme and the evolution of ath-erosclerotic lesions was observed. It was found that the serum cholesterol level increasedwith the increased duration of cholesterol feeding and reached a peak at the 60th day,then decreased rapidly after feeding was stopped. However the LPO level didn't fall, in-stead it was increased continuously to a much higher level than that of the control. Theanti-oxidative enzymes SOD and GSH-Px showed compensatory increase at the early stageof high LPO level. There after, it was decreased and was kept in lower level than thatof the control. There were developed atherosclerotic lesions of various degree in aorta,pulmonary and coronary arteries. Even one month after the stop of cholesterol feeding,progressive changes, such as large amount of smooth muscle cell proliferation and inflam-matory cell infiltration were observed, and the lesions became much more severe thanbefore. These results suggested that the exess of LPO in the serum resulted in inhibitionof anti-oxidative enzyine activity Which might play an important role in the initiatingand developing of atherosclerosis.

This article reports a case of hyperthyroidism complicated with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis(CVST). A 33-year-old woman patient was admitted to the Department of Endocrinology due to hyperthyroidism. She developed convulsions of the legs, unconsciousness, and " epileptic" seizures in the early morning of the next day and was transferred to the Department of Neurology. The patient′s clinical manifestations and laboratory tests suggested hyperthyroidism, Graves′ disease complicated with CVST formation, internal jugular vein thrombosis, and venous acute cerebral infarction. After standard treatment for hyperthyroidism, anticoagulation, and reduction in intracranial pressure were given, the patient′s condition improved. After 3 months of follow-up, the patient had a good prognosis. Until now, 41 patients with hyperthyroidism complicated with CVST have been described in case reports. For patients with hyperthyroidism presenting with headaches, especially those with severe neurological symptoms such as epilepsy or hemiplegia, clinicians should be vigilant and conduct appropriate imaging evaluations to assess the possibility of CVST. Once the diagnosis of CVST is confirmed, treatment for both hyperthyroidism and CVST should be initiated simultaneously to achieve a favorable prognosis.

Objective:To analyze the changes of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3[25-(OH)D 3] expression in diabetic patients and its correlation with macrovascular complications. Methods:Two hundreddiabetic patients admitted to Cangzhou Central Hospital from February 2018 to November 2019 were divided into macrovascular complications group (87 cases) and without macrovascular complicationsgroup (113 cases). According to the degree of 25-(OH)D 3 deficiency, 32 cases were divided into 25-(OH)D 3 normal group, 94 cases were mild deficiency group and 74 cases were moderate and severe deficiency group. At the same time, 168 outpatients were selected as control group. The levels of serum 25-(OH)D 3 were compared between diabetic group and control group, macrovascular complications group and without macrovascular complications group, and the correlation between the level of serum 25-(OH)D 3 and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) was analyzed. Results:The level of serum 25-(OH)D 3 in diabetic group was lower than that in control group: (24.79 ± 3.02) μg/L vs. (39.18 ± 4.38) μg/L, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The level ofserum 25-(OH)D 3 in diabetic patients with macrovascular complications group was lower than that in without macrovascular complications group: (21.08 ± 2.64) μg/L vs. (27.65 ± 3.31) μg/L; while the IMT was higher than that without macrovascular complications group: (1.29 ± 0.13) mm vs. (0.93 ± 0.10) mm, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The incidence of macrovascular complications in 25-(OH)D 3 moderate and severe deficiency group was higher than that in 25-(OH)D 3 mild deficiency group and 25-(OH)D 3 normal group: 60.81%(45/74) vs. 40.43%(38/94), 12.50%(4/32), the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 21.896, P<0.05). The level of serum 25-(OH)D 3 in patients with diabetic macrovascular complications was negatively correlated with IMT ( r = -0.513, P<0.05). Conclusions:The level of serum 25-(OH)D 3 in diabetic patients is decreased, and the change of its concentration is related to the occurrence of macrovascular complications.
