Abstract:
Objective To investigate the protective effect of hydrogen-rich saline on lung injury associated with severe acute pancreatitis and its impact on P38MAPK and NF-κB expressions.Methods Fifty-four male Wistar rats were randomly (random number) divided into three groups:(1) hydrogen-rich saline treatment group (HRS group,n =18),in which the rats were treated with hydrogen-rich saline (6 mL/kg) administered intravenously via tail vein and HRS (20 mL/kg) administered subcutaneously at 5 min after successful modeling.(2) Severe acute pancreatitis model group (SAP group,n =18),in which rats received equivalent volume of normal saline instead of hydrogen-rich saline both intravenously and subcutaneously as in HRS group.(3) Sham operation group (SO group,n =18),in which rats were treated with sham surgery,and received equivalent volume of normal saline as in SAP group.The model of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) was made by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate (1 mL/kg) into cholepancreatic duct.All rats were sacrificed at 3 h,12 h,and 24 h separately after the operation (n =6 at a time).The levels of serum amylase,lipase were measured.The ratio of wet and dry lung tissues was measured.The histopathological changes of lung tissues were observed under optic microscope.The expressions of P38MAPK,p-P38MAPK and NF-κB were measured by using immunohistochemistry method.Results Compared with SAP group,there were no significant differences in levels of serum amylase [12 h (5306.7±909) vs.(5435.0 ±441.2)] and lipase [12 h (1897.8 ±149.4) vs.(1917.9± 106.8)] in HRS group (P >0.05),but there were significant differences in the ratio of wet and dry lung tissues [12 h (3.12 ± 0.58) vs.(1.87 ± 0.25)] and histopathology scores [12 h (2.14 ± 0.38) vs.(3.58 ±0.32)] (P <0.05).There was no significant difference in expression of P38MAPK in lung tissues among three groups at 12 h.Compared with SO group,the expressions of p-P38MAPK and NF-κB were significant increased in SAP group at 12 h,however,they were lower significantly in HRS group than those in SAP group.Conclusions Hydrogen-rich saline has a protective effect on lung injury associated with severe acute pancreatitis,and its mechanism may be likely related to the antioxidant effect and inhibiting the activation of P38MAPK and NF-κB.
