In the fetal liver, megakaryocytes were wholly located among growing fetal liver cells and near foci of hemopoiesis. Some megakaryocytes in the fetal liver were small7890- lymphoid-like megakaryocytes. The size of megakaryocytes both in the fetal liver (14.79 ± 4.52μm) and in the fetal bone marrow (16.08±7.39 μm) was small, which did not vary significantly over the gestation age ranging from 3 to 6 or 7 months. However, the maturation stage of megakaryocytes in the fetal liver shifted to more mature stage with the advancement of gestation, although the maturation stage of megakaryocytes in the fetal bone marrow did not change with the advancement of gestation from 4 to 7 months, the megakaryocyte in the fetal bone marrow was less mature展开更多

A lipid profile was obtained immediately before starting LDL-apheresis, a second profile was obtained within four hours after LDL-apheresis. Chit activity and anti-oxLDL levels were determined with appropriate methods in all patients before and after LDL- apheresis. Total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL- cholesterol and triglycerides decreased significantly after LDL-apheresis, while the variations of Chit activity and anti-oxLDL were not significant after LDL-apheresis. The correlation between Chit and total cholesterol was negative (r= –0.44 and –0.50 res- pectively) before and after LDL-apheresis as between Chit and LDL-cholesterol (r= –0.45 and –0.55 respectively). Anti-oxLDL concentration before and after LDL-apheresis positively correlated with Chit activity (r= 0.52 and r = 0.63 respectively), negatively with total cholesterol (r= –0.33 and r = –0.35 res- pectively) and with LDL (r = –0.32 and r = –0.21 respectively). We think that removing LDL with LDL-apheresis the anti-oxLDL/oxLDL ratio could increase and the excess of anti-oxLDL could induce macrophage activation through the surface Fc receptors. Alternatively with high levels of LDL- cholesterol, the deposition of foam cells represent the characteristic evolution of atherosclerosis process. Macrophage activation in the heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia could represent an attempt for re-modeling the vessel wall, reducing the growth of lipid plaques.展开更多
