Academic Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University 2006;18(2):183-186
Objective: To examine the change of body weight (BW) and blood pressure (BP) in obese rats, clarify relationships between BP and BW and other factors. Methods: Male Spraque-Dawley rats were fed either with normal diet (ND) or high calorie diet (HC) for 20 weeks. BW and BP of tail artery were observed biweekly and tetraweekly respectively; serum leptin and fasting insulin (FINS) were detected by enzyme-linked immunoadsordent assay (ELISA) and radioimmunoassay (RIA) respectively. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and free fatty acid(FFA) were measured by conventional means. Results: BW, abdominal fat weight (AFW), ratio of abdominal fat weight to body weight (RF/W), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), serum levels of leptin and FINS, FPG, FFA increased in the HD group after 20 weeks diet intervention (P<0.05 or P<0.01). SBP was strongly correlated with BW, leptin, FINS and FFA (P<0.05), DBP was correlated with FFA (r=0.47, P<0.05). In addition, leptin was positively correlated with BW, AFW, RF/W, FINS and FFA (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: In this study of high calorie-diet induced rats, the gain of BW is accompanied by increased BP. The obese rats have hyperleptinemia, hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia which may have important effects on the development of obesity-related hypertension. R F/W is the key factor in which affect serum leptin level.

International Eye Science 2014;(8):1476-1477
ATM: To investigate the relationship between the oculus dominans and the eye with higher diopter among myopes, and to study the difference between the Worth 4 dot test and hole-in-the-card test.
METHODS: Totally 125 cases were divided into two groups as physiogenic anisometropic group and pathological anisomitropic group according to the degree of binoculus anisometropy. Worth 4 dot test and hole-in-the-card test were used to distinguish oculus dominans respectively based on medical optometry.
RESULTS: In physiogenic anisometropic group, the oculus dominans and the eye with higher diopter among myopes had significant relationship by hole-in-the-card test (Z = -4. 057, P<0. 01) and Worth 4 dot test (Z=-3. 558, P<0. 01). However, in pathological group, No statistical significance was between two tests (P>0. 05); distinguish the oculus dominans had no statistically significant difference between the Worth 4 dot test and hole-in-the-card test (n=125, P>0. 05).
CONCLUSION:The oculus dominans is determined by gene or formed during juvenile period, then myopia anisometropic may affect the choice of that. The Worth 4 dot test has some reference significance for observing oculus dominans.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Xuebijing injection on inflammatory factors,oxidation stress level and thrombosis risk in patients with acute non-ST elevation myocardial infarction(NSTEMI). METHODS:A total of 130 NSTEMI pa-tients selected from our hospital during May 2015-Aug. 2016 were divided into control group and observation group according to random number table,with 65 cases in each group. Control group was given routine treatment as lowering blood pressure,lower-ing lipid,anticoagulation and antiplatelet. Observation group was additionally given Xuebijing injection 50 mL,ivgtt,q12 h,on the basis of control group. Both groups were treated for a week. The levels of inflammatory cytokines(TNF-α ,IL-6,IL-10, hs-CRP),SOD,MDA,MMP-9,platelet aggregation rate and fibrinogen were observed in 2 groups before and after treatment. The treatment course,the occurrence of MACE and bleeding event were also recorded. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in the levels of inflammatory factors,SOD,MDA,MMP-9,platelet aggregation rate or fibrinogen between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,the levels of TNF-α,IL-6,hs-CRP,platelet aggregation rate or fibrinogen in 2 groups were decreased significantly,while the level of IL-10 was increased significantly;the improvement of above indexes in observation group was significantly better than control group. The levels of SOD and MMP-9 in 2 groups were increased significantly,while the level of MDA was decreased significantly. The level of SOD in observation group was significantly higher than control group, while the level of MDA was significantly lower than control group,but the level of MMP-9 was significantly lower than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of MACE (16.92% vs. 20.00%)or bleeding event(4.62% vs. 7.69%)between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Xuebijing injection shows signifi-cant therapeutic efficacy for NSTEMI,effectively inhibits inflammation,and oxidative stress and reduces the risk of thrombosis with good safety.
