A gas chromatographic method was established for the analysis of fatty acid composition of oils. After methlation of the samples, the retention time of the fatty acid esters in the glass capillary coated with crosslin-ked methyl silicone was closely related to the number of carbon atoms.The reproducibity of this method was satisfactory. The relative standard deviation was 0.4-1.5%. Six kinds of vegetable oils were analyzed by this method, and the results were consistent with those reported by Canadian Cereal Association. For analysis of the free fatty acid composition of becte-ria, the results were comparable with those obtained from thin layer chroma-tography and chemical analysis.

A gas chromatographic method was established for determination of cholesterol. The egg yolk was directly saponified with 1ml 40% potassium hydroxide and 20ml ethylene glycol. The unsaponifiable substances were extracted by diethyl ether and then dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The extract (2?l) was injected into the gas chromatograph. The average percentage of recovery was 100.0?2.6%. The precision of the method was good, the coefficient of variation was 1.9%. The mean cholesterol content of egg yolk determined by this method was 1247.1?80.1 mg/100g and agreed with the value reported in literature.

The treatment strategy for infected acute necrotizing pancreatitis is that enables recovery but at the same time limits the morbidity and mortality.The current gold standard remains open necrosectomy.Recent literature contains scattered reports of percutaneous drainage,endoscopic,and laparoscopic approaches to managing patients with this condition.This review addresses the role of minimally invasive approaches and treatment strategy in patients with infected acute necrotizing pancreatitis.

The effects of 4 kinds of edible oils on serum lipid levels, morphological changes of cardiovascular tissues, fatty acid compositions of various tissues and platelet function in rats had been observed. 40 adult Wistar rats fed semi-synthetic diet containing edible oil to supply 41% energy were divided into 5 group, i. e. control group (18.7% energy from fat), soy bean oil group, peanut oil group, lard group and rape seed oil group. The animals were fed the diets and water ad libitum for 2 months. The results showed that the lard gave the most serious detrimental effect but the soy bean oil was the least. The difference between these two groups was significant. The platelet number was 223?109/L and aggregation rate was 21.8% of the soy bean oil group but. the lard group 149?109/L and 30.2%. The composition (%) of PUFA in tissues was higher and that of saturated fatty acid was tower in soy bean ou group than those in lard group.Electron microscopical studies showed that the animals with vascular endothelial cells changes were more and the pathological changes were more serious in the lard group than those in the soy bean group.All groups except rape seed oil group increased weights in the experi-mental period at the similar rate. Rape seed oil group gained very little weights and aggregated more C22:1 especially in myocardium.

The effects of fish oil rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5?-3; EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6?-3; DHA) on serum total cholesterol (TC) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were investigated in experimental hypercholesterolemic rats. The fish oil contained about 15% EPA and 43% DHA. Each animal was given 1ml fish oil/day by intragastric feeding for 30 days. The results in twice experiments showed that TC concentration in the serum of rats fed fish oil was markedly decreased as compared to rats fed olive oil, but serum HDL-C elevated. Furthermore, the ratio of HDL-C to TC in the serum was also significantly elevated in rats fed fish oil.
