A 28 days growth and development experiment and a 90 days intoxication experiment with —hydrochloro lysine at various dosage levels on young and adult rats were reported.The results were as follows. There were definitely an accelerating effect on growth and development in young rats when adding 0.5% L-lysine to a cereal diet, but no obviously similar effect in adult rats; moreover, a massive dose of L—lysine could induce hepatic and renal damage. The hepatic lesions were focal necrosis and increase of fat—storing cells with collagen fiber formation. In the kidney there were cloudy swelling, microvilli losing, intracellular edema, mitochondrial swelling, endopl asmic reticulum dilatation and residual body formation in the proximal convoluted tubule epithelium.

ObjectiveTo observe the curative effect of intensive regulating lipid by atorvastatin in the treatment of unstable angina and its influence on serum high sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP).Methods60 patients with unstable angina were randomly divided into two groups:the routine treatment group( basic treatment plus atorvastatin 10mg/d),the atorvastatin intensive treatment group( basic treatment plus atorvastatin 40mg/d.)The courses of treatment were both 8 weeks.The differences in the amount of serum hs-CRP,blood fat,the effect of electrocardiogram and the use of glyceryl trinitrate before and after the treatment were observed and compared.Results The differences in the angina curative effect and the amount of serum hs-CRP between the two groups were statistically sig nificant( all P ＜0.05 ).ConclusionShort-term intensive regulating lipid by statins was effective in treating unstable angina,and could quickly relieve the phlogosis in the vessels,prevent the unstable plaque from breaking and the thrombopoiesis,and thus prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular disease.

Objective To investigate the effect of rosiglitazone on the expression of platelet CD40 ligand (CD40L) in insulin-resistant rats, and to further determine the relationship between CD40L and insulin resistance. Methods 60 healthy male SD rats [(200±20)g] were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group (C), high fat group (HF), low dose rosiglitazone group (LR) and high dose rosiglitazone group (HR). Rats in group C were fed normal chow diet, and the others were given high fat chow diet. After 12 weeks, high dose of rosiglitazone (10mg/kg) was given to rats in group HR and low dose of rosiglitazone (5 mg/kg) was given to rats in group LR for 4 weeks. Rats in group HF and group C were given 0.9% sodium chloride solution. The level of sCD40L was measured by ELISA and the expression of platelet membrane CD40L was detected by immunoprecipitation and Western blot. The insulin resistance (IR) index was calculated by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA). Results HOMA-IR, sCD40L level and platelet membrane CD40L expression were higer in group HF than in group C (9.8±3.2 vs. 5.9±1.7, 367.3 ±35.3 vs. 232.3±120.6, 2.1±0.4 vs. 1.4±0.2, respectively, all P<0.05). Compared with the group HF, HOMA-IR, sCD40L level and platelet membrane CD40L expression were obviously decreased in group HR(5.4±1.1, 276.9±54.0, 1.4±0.3, respectively, all P<0.05), and there were no significant differences in HOMA-IR, sCD40L level and platelet membrane CD40L expression between group HF and group LR (P>0.05). Conclusions In insulin-resistant rats, the level of sCD40L and the expression of platelet membrane CD40L were higher. After treatment with high dose of rosiglitazone, sCD40L level and platelet membrane CD40L expression were decreased with the improvement of insulin resistance.
