In recent years, the incidence of hyperlipidemia acute pancreatitis (HLAP) has been increasing year by year, but its pathogenesis has not been completely clear. There are many clinical treatment methods for HLAP, such as lipid-lowering drugs, low molecular weight heparin, insulin, and plasma exchange. Actively reducing serum triglyceride is the core of treatment. Plasma exchange can quickly and effectively reduce the level of triglyceride, and its application in the treatment of HLAP is gradually increasing. This article reviews the recent advances in the pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of HLAP, focusing on the mechanism, indications, timing, and disadvantages of plasma exchange therapy for HLAP.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture in animal hyperlipidemia models. MethodsDatabases such as CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, EMbase and The Cochrane Library (Issue 12, 2013) were searched for studies concerning the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture in animal hyperlipidemia models up to December 2013. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and assessed the methodological quality of included studies by using reformative CAMARADES List. Then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.2 software. ResultsA total of 4 studies involving 89 rats were included. The average score of CAMARADES List was 4. The results of meta-analysis showed that:there were no significant differences between electroacupuncture group and medication group in reducing the levels of TC (MD=0.06, 95%CI -0.08 to 0.20, P=0.40), TG (MD=-0.01, 95%CI -0.08 to 0.06, P=0.74), LDL-C (MD=0.01, 95%CI -0.04 to 0.03, P=0.65) and increasing the level of HDL-C (MD=-0.00, 95%CI -0.09 to 0.08, P=0.93). ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that there are no differences between electroacupuncture and medication in reducing levels of TC, TG, LDL-C and increasing the level of HDL-C in hyperlipidaemia rats. But due to the limitation of sample size of included studies, more large-scale, high quality studies are needed.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of sleeve gastrectomy on preventing adipose infiltration and LOX-1 expression in aortic epithelium of high-fat-diet-induced obese rats. MethodsTwenty-four Wistar rats were randomized into normal chow group (CO group), high-fat diet group (HD group), and high-fat diet combined with sleeve gastrectomy group (SG group). Rats of three groups before operation and CO group after operation were fed with normal diet, rats of HD and SG group were fed with high-fat diet. Body weight of all the rats were examined on day 10, 20, and 30 after operation, respectively. Animals were sacrificed on day 30 after operation and plasma HDL and LDL were detected by ELISA, LOX-1 and LOX-1 mRNA expression in aortic epithelium were measured by Western blot and real-time RT-PCR, respectively. Immunochemical histological Nile red stain was adopted in adipose infiltration examination of aorta. ResultsThe body weights in HD group were much higher than those of other groups (Plt;0.01). The HDL in CO, HD, and SG groups was (32.9±6.2) mg/dl, (43.4± 4.0) mg/dl, and (37.5± 4.3) mg/dl, respectively. The LDL in CO, HD, and SG groups was (31.8±4.5) mg/dl, (53.3±5.1) mg/dl, and (40.5±3.7 ) mg/dl, respectively. The HDL and LDL values in HD group were higher than those of other two groups (Plt;0.05, Plt;0.01). The LOX-1 protein and mRNA expressions in HD group were much higher than those of other groups (Plt;0.01). Adipose staining in HD group was also ber than that of other groups. ConclusionsHigh-fat diet can induce elevation of LOX-1 protein and mRNA expression in aorta. Sleeve gastrecto my can relieve plasma LDL level, as a result, LOX-1 protein and mRNA expression should be down-regulated.
ObjectiveTo assess the effect of Xuezhikang 1.2 g/d after 4 weeks' treatment on primary hyperlipidemia patients' lipid contents including total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) by literature analysis. MethodsA literature research was carried out in CNKI, Wanfang and Weipu full-text database to collect articles published from January 1st, 1994 to August 30 th, 2014, concerning the self-controlled trials on the lipid regulating effects of Xuezhikang 1.2 g/d for 4 weeks in primary hyperlipidemia patients. Statistical analysis was performed with Review Manager 5.2. ResultsFifty-five independent trials were included in this review. All of the independent studies showed no homogeneity (P<0.01, I2>70%), and had publication bias. The contents of TC, TG, and LDL-C after a 4-week treatment with 1.2 g/d Xuezhikang were significantly lower than those before treatment [WMD=1.14 mmol/L, 95%CI (1.02, 1.25) mmol/L, P<0.000 01; WMD=0.72 mmol/L, 95%CI (0.59, 0.85) mmol/L, P<0.000 01; WMD=0.87 mmol/L, 95%CI (0.74, 1.00) mmol/L, P<0.000 01] and the contents of HDL-C was significantly higher than that before treatment [WMD=-0.16 mmol/L, 95%CI (-0.26, -0.12) mmol/L, P<0.000 01]. ConclusionXuezhikang can reduce the primary hyperlipidemia patients' TC, TG and LDL-C, and increase HDL-C after 4 weeks' treatment.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the effect and safety of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) on patients with hyperlipidemic pancreatitis. MethodsDatabases including the Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2014), PubMed, EMbase, CBM, CNKI and WanFang Data were electronically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about CVVH on patients with hyperlipidemic pancreatitis till Feb. 12, 2014. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, literature was screened, data were extracted, and the methodological quality of included studies was also assessed. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2 software. ResultsA total of 7 trials met eligibility criteria, involving 360 cases, including 183 cases of CVVH group and 177 cases of control group. The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with only routine medical treatment, CVVH significantly reduced the levels of lipid (WMD=-4.63, 95%CI-5.98 to-3.27, P < 0.000 01), levels of IL-6 (WMD=-29.59, 95%CI-34.30 to-24.89, P < 0.000 01), overall mortality (RR=0.39, 95%CI 0.18 to 0.84, P=0.02), and APACHE II score (WMD=-3.34, 95%CI-5.12 to-1.56, P=0.000 2) after treatment. ConclusionCVVH is more effective for hyperlipidemic pancreatitis than only routine medical treatment. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, further high-quality, multicenter, large-scale RCTs are required to verify the above conclusion.
