[Induced hyperlipemia test during femur head osteonecrosis].

The authors studied disturbances of lipid clearance in cases of aseptic osteonecrosis of the femoral head by means of an induced intravenous hyperlipemia test. With reference to investigations in 19 patients, the authors first draw attention to the frequency of ethylism and of fatty degeneration of the liver (13 patients). A significant decrease was noted in the coefficient of lipid clearance in the 19 patients. This was particularly marked when fatty degeneration of the liver was present. The etiological role of these anomalies should be considered, as fatty degeneration and hyperlipaemia may also be found in other pathological conditions responsible for primary osteonecrosis of the femoral head (corticotherapy).

A case of acute pancreatitis with hyperlipemia and hyperglycemia induced by alcohol abuse.

A case of acute pancreatitis with hyperlipemia and hyperglycemia induced by alcohol abuse is reported. The case is a 34-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of severe abdominal pain. He had been drinking 700ml approximately 1400ml of whisky daily prior to admission. At the time of admission, his serum amylase was elevated to 1833 U. Abdominal computerized tomography revealed edematous swelling of the pancreas. His serum glucose level was 926 mg/dl, cholesterol 754 mg/dl and triglyceride 3,530 mg/dl. Following successful treatment of acute pancreatitis and hyperglycemia with gabexate mesilate and insulin, his serum glucose, lipid and pancreatic enzyme levels decreased to the normal range. This case is considered to be one of acute pancreatitis with diabetic lipemia induced by alcohol abuse.

[Prevalences of diabetes, glucose intolerance, hyperlipemia and risk factors as a function of socioeconomic level].

We studied the prevalence of non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM) and hyperlipemia in older than 15 years old population in the city of San Luis Potosi and in a rural area 50 km north of this city. They are located in the state of San Luis Potosi in the central plateau of Mexico. A total of 1136 subjects were surveyed (645 males, 491 females). Weight and height were measured and the body mass index (BMI) calculated in all subjects. After a fasting capillary sample was obtained, 75 g of glucose were given and a second sample was taken 120 minutes later. The WHO recommendations for diagnosis of DM were used. The overall prevalence of DM was 10.0%: the lowest rate was for individuals in the rural area (0.9%) which contrasts with the 11% seen in the urban population (p 0.0001). In the urban subjects, the highest rates were observed in the very low income group (27.7%) whereas the low income group had a rate of 6.2%; the prevalence was 7.0, 7.7 and 18.2% in the medium, high medium and high socioeconomic groups. The prevalence was influenced by age, BMI, sex (males = 6.8% females = 14.3%) and socioeconomic status; hypercholesterolemia (> 200 mg/dL) was found in 16%. In conclusion, we have documented high rates of NIDDM in a mexican urban population with very high levels in the very poor which contrasts with the rural population.

[Effect of Equisetum hyemale on experimental hyperlipemia in rats and its toxic test].

The results of an experimental study in rats fed with Equisetum hyemale and hyperlipid food have proved that inhibiting effects on the elevation of triglyceride and cholesterol can be obviously observed in both high and low doses of Equisetum. The study also shows that Equisetum hyemale can antagonize the hyperlipemia in rats. The acute toxic test has proved its low toxicity.

HLA class II antigens and interleukin-1 in patients affected by type-II diabetes mellitus and hyperlipemia.

In order to evaluate the influence of hyperlipemia on the specific cell defence reaction in type-II diabetes mellitus in humans, 20 diabetics were recruited in this study. They were divided into two groups on the basis of the absence or coexistence of abnormal serum lipid pattern. The lymphocyte and monocyte cells drawn from the type-II diabetic patients with abnormally elevated serum levels of cholesterol and triglycerides showed a decreased expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class-II antigens and an impaired secretion of interleukin (IL-1). Values of MHC class-II antigen expression in diabetics without lipid metabolic alterations were not significantly different from those found in healthy subjects. In conclusion, abnormalities of lipid metabolism often found in type-II diabetes mellitus may play a key role in the impaired specific cell reaction toward infectious diseases of these patients.

Simple obesity and obesity hyperlipemia treated with otoacupoint pellet pressure and body acupuncture.

161 cases of simple obesity with or without hyperlipemia were treated by pellet pressure on auricular acupoints plus body acupuncture for 3 months in a single-blind experiment. Patients on Capsulae Olei Oenothera Erythrosepalae were taken as positive controls. Body weight, circumference of chest, abdomen, arms and legs, the appetite, sleep, bowel movement, blood TC, TG and HDL-C were recorded for comparison. The results indicated that treatment in the auricular and body acupoint group was superior to treatment in the control group. In the acupoint group body weight dropped by an average of 5.04 kg in 84.55% of the patients, who also showed decreased appetite, blood TC and TG.

Yishou jiangzhi (de-blood-lipid) tablets in the treatment of hyperlipemia.

The Yishoujiangzhi (de-blood-lipid) tablets (composed of Radix Polygori Multiflori, Rhizoma Polygonati, Fructus Lycii, Crataegus Pinnatifida and Cassia Tora) were used in the treatment of 130 cases of hyperlipemia, achieving an effective rate of 87.0% in lowering serum cholesterol and 80.8% in lowering triglyceride.

[Effects of buyang huan wu decoction on rat hyperlipemia model].

Buyang Huan Wu Decoction can obviously lower the blood-lipid in rat hyperlipemia model, as well as drop the cholesterol in the aortic wall. Moreover, the decoction can drop the rising specific viscosity of blood and plasma, raise SOD and lower LPO in the blood.

A pathophysiologic approach to managing hyperlipemia.

Hyperlipemia is one of several risk factors for premature ischemic vascular disease. It usually represents a primary, lifelong metabolic disorder and control requires changes in life-style. These include a modification of diet (commonly caloric, cholesterol and saturated fat restriction), elimination of smoking and hypertension and, frequently, drug therapy. Drugs can attack endogenous triglyceride overproduction, lipoprotein lipase deficiency or defective remnant uptake, and can decrease cholesterol production and accelerate cholesterol degradation.

A simple and precise method of determining true sodium, potassium, and chloride concentrations in hyperlipemia.

Sodium, potassium, and chloride levels are artifactually depressed in hyperlipemic sera. Accurate electrolyte levels are needed for management of patients with hyperlipemia, but present methods for correcting the values (serum water and/or osmolality determinations) either are technically cumbersome or fail to provide accurate data to correct the falsely low levels. Alternatively, to determine true sodium, potassium, and chloride concentrations in hyperlipemic sera, only the required electrolyte values and the triglycerides are measured. The percentage by which the measured electrolyte levels in the hyperlipemic sample must be increased to approximate the true values is given by the following equation: per cent increase = 2.1 X triglycerides (Gm./dl.) - 0.6.
