The aim of this study is to establish a simple and stable model like poloxamer 407 (P-407)-induced dyslipidemia of golden hamster model, and investigate the mechanism of lipid metabolism disturbance in this model. PPARalpha agonist and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor were administrated to validate the efficacy on regulating lipid metabolism in the dyslipidemia golden hamster model. Six weeks male golden hamsters were chosen to inject P-407 intraperitoneally at a bolus dose of 300 mg x kg(-1), an intermittent injection at a dose of 200 mg x kg(-1) every 72 hours after the bolus. The results showed that P-407-induced golden hamster model characterized as increased serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), free cholesterol (free-CHO), cholesteryl ester (CE), free fatty acids (FFA) and apoB levels, and the hyperlipidemia state maintained at a stable level persistently. Meanwhile, augmented malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) level was observed. LCAT and SR-B I mRNA levels in liver of model group were down-regulated (expression ratio is 0.426; 0.783), while HMG-CoA reductase mRNA level was up-regulated (expression ratio is 1.493) compared with those of the normal group. The serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels were significantly lower in P-407-induced dyslipidemia hamster model after treated with atorvastatin (Ato) at a dose of 50 mg x kg(1) or fenofibrate (Fen) at 100 mg x kg(-1) for two weeks. These findings suggest that serum lipid distribution in dyslipidemia golden hamster is similar to that of human, and which may be relevant to the disturbance of the enzymes expression involved in lipid metabolism in liver. Results obtained from this study support the concept that dyslipidemia golden hamster may be an adequate animal model to evaluate the efficacy of lipid-lowering agents.

Objective To evaluate spiral CT in diagnosing vascular complications of pancreatitis. Methods The clinical and surgical results and the CT findings of 316 patients with acute or chronic pancreatitis were comparatively analyzed. Special attention was paid to the CT findings of the patients with peritoneal hemorrhage and vascular abnormality. CT Hu of celiac blood effusion was measured. Pseudoaneurysms, phlebothrombosis and venous thrombosis of peripancreatic vessels in CT enhancement were carefully analyzed. Results Acute pancreatitis was found in 275 out of the 316 patients, and chronic pancreatitis in 41 cases. Among those with acute pancreatitis, 20 had peritoneal cavity vascular complications. In the 13 cases of peritoneal cavity hemorrhage(including 5 patients complicated with digestive tract hemorrhage), CT identified 11 with as regional or diffuse slight high density fluid collections, and failed in 2 cases. CT scans detected gastric varices in 4 out of 7 patients with digestive tract hemorrhage. Of those with chronic pancreatitis, CT found celiac artery pseudoaneurysm in one, spleen artery pseudoaneurysm in one and splenic vein thrombosis with gastric varices in one. Conclusions (1)Regional or diffuse slight high or high density fluid collections were common CT findings of peritoneal cavity hemorrhage. (2)Enhanced spiral CT scanning could demonstrate peripanreatic vascular pseudoaneurysms. (3)Varices in gastric fundus and necrosis in pancreatic body and tail often indicate the formation of spleen venous thrombosis.
