Objective To summarize the strategies of nutritional support for patients with hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP). Methods The clinical data of six HLAP patients who were treated in our department from January 1998 to December 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. Results The disease conditions of all patients were improved after fasting and early nutritional support and lipid-lowering treatment. Three cases with severe HLAP received enteral nutrition via a nasojejunal tube. Another three patients with milder HLAP obtained low-fat diet and orally administered lipid-lowering drugs. The plasma triglyceride levels decreased from (25.30 ± 20. 48 ) mmol/L to (5.41 ±4.55) mmol/L. No relapse was noted during follow-up (range: 3 -24 months). Conclusions The approaches of nutritional support for HLAP patients should be customized based on the specific disease conditions,and the enteral nutrition and lipid-lowering drugs should be reasonably and carefully designed and applied. For severe HLAP, nasojejunal tube should be maintained in the early stage to ensure the application of enteral nutrition and lipid-lowering drugs, protect the integrity of gut mucosal barrier, and decrease the fluctuation of blood glucose.

AIM: The aim of the present study was to clar ify the mechanism of intracellular signal transduction in Ang II-induced prolife ration of vascular smooth muscular cells (VSMC) by observing the effect of c-Src on Ang II-mediated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation and c-Fos protein expression in cultured VSMC of rats. METHODS: Cultured aortic VSMCs from SD rats were transfected wit h anti-sense c-Src oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) wrapt with lipofectin to inhibit c-Src activity and protein production. Untransfected VSMCs were used as control . We observed the role of Ang II stimulation in MAPK activation and c-Fos protei n expression. c-Src kinase activity was measured by protein immunoprecipitation and kinase autophosphorylation. The phosphorylation rate of the substrate myeli n basic protein (MBP) was employed to assess MAPK activity. Western immunoblot w as used to detect protein expression of c-Src and c-Fos. RESULTS: c-Src protein expression in VSMC transfected with diffe rent concentrations of anti-sense ODNs significantly decreased in a negative dos e-effect manner. c-Src kinase activity was also markedly inhibited . Following t he stimulation of Ang II on transfected VSMCs with anti-sense ODNs, the increase rate of c-Src activity was 8.7% of that in control, the activity of MAPK was 1 .6% compared with control and c-Fos protein expression was as 30.0% as that of control. CONCLUSION: Ang II induces c-Src activation. MAPK activation and c-Fos protein expression by Ang II is dependent on c-Src activation. These find ings indicate that c-Src is an important signal factor in Ang II -induced VSMC proliferati on.
