title: [Dynamic alteration of blood lipid and hemodynamics parameters and vascular intima in the process of atherosclerosis].
abstract: To establish and observe rabbit hyperlipemia and atherosclerosis model, we combined the method of high-lipid diet and immuoreactive injure. We divided 45 New Zealand rabbit into control group and high-lipid group. According to the time (4, 8, 12 weeks) of established model, the control group and high-lipid group were divided into 3 groups respectively. The blood-lipid, the hemodynamics parameter and vascular intima were determined and observed. The results showed: (1) After feeding 4, 8, 12 weeks, TC and LDL-C of the high-lipid group in the serum increased obviously. After feeding 8 week, TG of the high-lipid group began to increase obviously. HDL-C of the high-lipid group was higher than control group, but with a descendent trend. (2) Blood viscosity of the high-lipid group increased obviously under the 0.512 S(-1) and 5.96 S(-1) at 12 week. Blood flow increased obviously at 8 and 12 week. SBP increased evidently at 8 and 12 week. Alteration of the plasma viscosity and vascular diameter were not obvious. (3) By observing with optical microscope the intima of the control group is smooth. The intima of the high-lipid group has a light incrassation at 4 week. The intima of the high-lipid group has a obvious incrassation at 8 and 12 week. By observing with through transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the lipid vacuole is under the endothelium cell. (4) By adopting the immunohistochemistry, the foam cell that derived from smooth muscle cell were determined. We concluded that the blood lipid can have a prefigurative role in atherosclerosis; blood flow and blood pressure and blood viscosity increase at low shear rate in the course of the atherosclerosis; vascular intima is incrassate and the composition of the AS plaque is variational continually.
