B. Laboratory of Atherosclerosis Studies on abnormalities in plasma lipoprotein metabolism and the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis, one of the major causes of ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease, is characterized by the deposition of cholesteryl esters due to the accumulation of lipid-laden foam cells in the arterial walls. One of the causes of the recent increase in the prevalence of coronary heart disease in our country may be the increase in the prevalence of hyperlipidemia, with marked elevation of cholesterol and/or triglyceride in plasma brought about by a Westernized diet. Therefore, in the hopes of eradicating atherosclerotic diseases via both the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia we are studying the mechanisms of plasma lipid metabolism and the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis due to plasma lipid metabolism abnormalities. Unable to dissolve in blood by themselves, plasma lipid constituents combine with proteins to form lipoproteins, a soluble form of lipid present in the plasma. The protein moieties are called apolipoproteins and play an important role in lipoprotein metabolism. In this study we investigate the genetic abnormalities of plasma apolipoproteins, the environmental factors leading to hyperlipoproteinemia, and the interactions between the cells in the arterial walls and the abnormal lipoproteins deeply involved in atherosclerosis (atherogenic lipoproteins).

Identification of Familial Hypercholesterolemia in Taiwan: Report of Eleven Cases Mei-Hsin Chung, Kwang-Wen Chen, Jung-Fu Chen, Wen-Tsoung Lu, Jui-Hung Sun, Jen-Der Lin Background: Familial hypercholesterolemia is associated with a very high risk of premature coronary heart disease. In order to identify cases of familial hypercholesterolemia in Taiwan, we screened the hyperlipidemic patients in our metabolic clinics. Methods: Hyperlipidemic patients were screened in the metabolic outpatient department and the cases which fulfilled the clinical criteria of definitive or possible familial hypercholesterolemia were further analyzed. Their clinical characteristics, including age, gender, physical findings, past history of coronary heart disease or cerebrovascular accident (CVA), family history, and lipid profiles before and after medical treatment, were reviewed. Results: Eight women and 3 men fulfilled the diagnostic criteria. The mean age at diagnosis was 51.1 11.9 years old. Tendon xanthomas were found in 5 patients with definitive familial hypercholesterolemia. Coronary heart disease was confirmed in one patient and old CVA was noted in another 2 patients.
