AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the health characteristics of the Lop Nor people’s descendants in Xinjiang, analyzing their prevalence of hypertension, obesity, and lipid abnormalities.
- A total of 594 participants underwent standard physical exams and questionnaires, revealing that around 47% of males and 45% of females had hypertension, with significant differences in obesity rates and abnormal triglyceride levels between genders.
- The findings suggest that high body mass index and abnormal triglyceride levels are risk factors for hypertension in this population, highlighting concerns about their overall health.
Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the physiological characteristics in "offspring of Lop Nor people", a special population from the Lop Nor dried up in Xinjiang.
Methods: A total of 594 subjects were selected by convenience sampling method from Yuli County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. All data were obtained from each person by the questionnaire and standard physical examinations.
Results: The prevalence of hypertension for "offspring of Lop Nor people" was 47.1% for males and 45.4% for females, respectively. The prevalence of high body mass index (BMI≥28 kg/m(2)) was higher in females than that in males, with 41.2% vs. 32.7%. The prevalence of abnormal TG in males was higher than that in females, 36.6% vs. 25.5% (P=0.003 7). And prevalence of abnormal HDL in males was higher than that in females, 9.7% vs. 3.9% (P=0.003 8). The results of multivariate analysis revealed that BMI and TG were the risk factors for hypertension in "offspring of Lop Nor people" .
Conclusion: The preliminary results show that the main physiological characteristics are high blood lipid, high prevalence of hypertension and obesity in "offspring of Lop Nor people". High blood lipid and obesity might be the main risk factors for hypertension in this population.

Recent advancements in genetic testing have revealed cases of mosaicism, demonstrating the phenomenon may be more common than once thought. Broadly defined, mosaicism describes the presence of two genotypically different cell lineages within the same organism. This can arise from small mutations or errors in chromosome segregation, as early as in gametes, before or after fertilization.

The objectives of this study were to describe and compare means and measures of variability of fiber characteristics and fiber production between genetically furred and furless rabbits and among classes of furless rabbits. An F1 generation of rabbits was produced by mating New Zealand White does to a rare, furless Mini Lop buck. All F1 offspring had normal coats of fur.

The cataract phenotypes were quite variable in expression and 5/6 showed a similar range of phenotypes. 2 of the 6 mutant mice were daughters of the same ENU-treated C3H/HeH male and probably represent repeats of the same mutation.
