Objective To explore influence of thoracic duct ligation on lipid metabolism after esophagectomy. Methods Seventy-four patients with esophageal cancer received esophagectomy were divided into two groups by their thoracic duct ligation, 39 in ligation group and 35 in non-ligation group. All the patients were fed with nutrients through nasal-duodenal tube placed during operation from the 1 st day to the 8th day after surgery, and started taking liquid diet on the 6th day. Blood specimens were collected from the patients on the 1st day after admission, the 9th day, one month and three months after surgery,respectively for biochemical analysis,including determinations of total cholesterol(TC),triglyeeride(TG),high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ( HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ( LDL-C) . Databetween the two groups were compared with statistical analysis. Results No significant difference in plasma levels of TC, TG and HDI.-C was found between the two groups at varied time points. Plasma level of LDL-C in the ligation group significantly decreased on the 9th day after surgery, as compared with that in the nonligation group ( P < 0. 05), and went down to the lowest level one month after surgery. Conclusions Chylomicron was blocked to enter blood stream and production of LDL-C decreased by thoracic duct ligation,which affect lipid absorption and metabolism leading to poor early nutrition in patients with esophagealsurgery due to slower establishment of collateral circulation.

Aim To investigate the role of chemokine-like factor 1 ( CKLF1 ) in SH-SY5 Y cell migration and its molecular regulatory mechanism. Methods SH-SY5Y cells were stimulated with CKLF1 for 0. 5 h, 2 h, 8 h and 24 h, respectively. The migration distance and the percentage of migration cells were recorded by CELLocate analysis. The phosphorylation of focal ad-hesion kinase ( FAK) at Tyr-397 site was detected by Western blot analysis. By chemotaxis assays, we con-firmed the chemotaxis of CKLF1. Furthermore, FAK inhibitor PF-573228 and PLCγ inhibitor U73122 were used for the research of molecular regulatory mecha-nisms involved. Results CKLF1 promoted cell migra-tion and induced a strong increase in the phosphoryla-tion level of FAK-pY397 , which were significantly at-tenuated by the presence of U73122 ( a specific inhibi-tor for PLCγ) . In addition, the chemotaxis of CKLF1 was obviously blocked by the FAK inhibitor PF-573228 . Conclusion CKLF1 induces SH-SY5 Y cell migration via PLCγ/FAK signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect of propofol on the learning and memory function in neonatal rats under hypoxic conditions. Methods Eighty-four 7-day-old SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 14 each): propofol + 18% oxygen (propofol-hypoxia, group PH), propofol + air (group PA), propofol +100% oxygen (propofol-oxygen, group PO), 0.9% normal saline (NS) + 18% oxygen (group CH), NS + air (group CA), NS + 100% oxygen (group CO). The rats received injection of intraperitoneal propofol 50 mg/kg or NS 5.0 ml/kg once a day for 7 consecutive days and they were exposed to 18% oxygen, air or 100% oxygen at the end of each injection. SaO2 and respiratory rate (RR) were monitored and recorded after administration. The rats were returned to the cage after recovery of the righting reflex. Six rats in each group were sacrificed 24 h after the 7th injection, and the brain tissues were taken to observe the apoptosis in hippocampal neurons. Morris water maze test was used to test the learning and memory function 2 weeks after administration in the other rats. Results RR was significantly lower and the escape latency at T1.2 longer in group PO than in group CO (P < 0.05). RR and SaO2 were significantly decreased, apoptotic index was increased, the escape latency was prolonged and the frequency of crossing the original platform was reduced in group PA compared with group CA, and in group PH compared with group CH (P < 0.05). Compared with group PO, SaO2 was significantly decreased, apoptotic index was increased, the escape latency was prolonged and the frequency of crosing the original platform was reduced in group PA (P < 0.05). Conclusion Propofol induces apoptosis in hippocampal neurons and decreases the learning and memory function in neonatal rats under hypoxic conditions.
