Hlc 729lpii

All patients received continuative treatment with atorvastatin 20 mg/d after coronary stent implantation. Fasting blood samples were taken from all patients in the morning. The serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and very low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDL-C) were measured by HLC-729LPII (Tosoh Corporation).

All of the participants received a comprehensive ocular examination, including slit lamp and dilated fundus exams. After administering full cycloplegia to both eyes, the spherical equivalent refraction (SER) was determined with the assistance of an autorefractometer (KR-800, Topcon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). With the use of Snellen VA charts, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was performed. BCVA was then transformed to the logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution (logMAR). Corneal topography (Orbscan II, Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY) was applied to acquire the corneal power (steepest keratometry SK, flattest keratometry FK, and mean keratometry Km). Axial length was obtained using the Zeiss IOLmaster 500 (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany). After at least 8 h of fasting, blood samples were taken, and cholesterol levels of HDL were measured using HLC-729LPII (Tosoh Corporation) based on AEX-HPLC method. Other fundamental factors including age, sex, height, weight, BMI, thyroid function, sex hormone and main biochemical parameters were also measured.
