Abstract: The present invention relates to a high capacity lithium ion secondary battery with metal casing, characterized in that each of the positive terminal or negative terminal includes respectively an upper backing plate, an upper insulator and a lower insulator. The upper backing plate and upper insulator are long-circular piece, two or more rivets pass through the concentric holes on the upper arm of a positive or negative electrode tab, the lower insulator, a sealing cover, the upper insulator and the upper backing plate respectively and rivet them as a whole. The lower arm of the positive electrode tab or negative electrode tab is connected to the corresponding positive or negative electrode tab on a battery core body, and the battery core body is comprised of two or more winded cores in parallel connection.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to new genetic variants or polymorphisms at the perilipin locus (PLIN) including PLIN1: 6209T (allele 1)>C (allele 2); PLIN3 10171 (allele 1) A>T (allele 2); PLIN4: 11482G (allele 1)>A (allele 2); PLIN5: 13041A (allele 1)>G (allele 2) and PLIN6: 14995A (allele 1)>T (allele 2), and their use in diagnostic and prognostic applications for obesity and obesity-related diseases, such as metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease.
