Abstract:
Objective To study the therapeutic effects and mechanism of Sodium Fendate(SF) on rats with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) induced by L-arginine. Method A total of 60 adult SD rats were randomly and e-qually divided into control group, SAP group and SF group, with 20 rats in each group. The rat model of SAP wes established by injecting 2.5 g/kg L-arginine at a dose of intraperitoneally twice at an interval of 1 hour, and rats in SAP group and SF groups were administrated intraperitoneally with 20% L-arginine solution(2.5 g/kg×2) twice at an interval of 1 hour; rats in control group were injected intraperitoneally with the same volume of physiological saline twice alone.At 5 minutes after L-arginine administration,rats in SF group were injected with SF solution (100 mg/kg, qd×3 d) via the tail vein, and rats in the other two groups received a sham injection of the same volume of physiological saline alone. The characteristics of ascites, the pathological changes of pancreatic tissue and the serum levels of amylase(AMY), endothelin-l(ET-1), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6(IL-6) and the contents of malonaldehyde (MDA), suede dismutase (SOD), reduced glutathioue (GSH) of pan-creatic tissue of rats and prognosis were compared at 72 hours after L-arginine administration. Measurement data were evaluated by oue-way ANOVA, and numeration data were assessed by Fisher' s exact test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Compared with control group,at 72 hours after L-arginine administra-tion,rats in SAP group presented characteristically histopathological changes of SAP with significantly higher serum levels of AMY, ET-1, TNF-α, IL-6 and MDA of pancreatic tissue[(9715.5±301.3) IU/L vs. (729.2±134.2) IU/L;(25.32±3.67) ng/L vs. (14.32±2.69) ng/L;(102.95±11.24) ng/L vs. (38.62±3.87) ng/L; (538.63±9.53) ng/L vs. (186.35±1.19) ng/L;(34.8±3.9) mol/kg vs. (8.1±2.1) mol/kg, all P< 0.01], and lower GSH and SOD in the pancreatic tissue[(7.1±0.6) mg/kg vs. (16.9±1.9) mg/kg; (6423± 1978) kU/kg vs. (29905+2945) kU/kg,both P<0.01].Compared with SAPmodel group,at 72 hours after ad-ministration of L-arginiue, the pathological lesions of SAP in rats of SF group were significantly alleviated with lower pathological scores (P<0.05), lower serum levels of AMY, ET-1 ,TNF-α,IL-6 and MDA in the pancreatic tissue [(8104.6±149.9) IU/L vs. (9715.5±301.3) IU/L; (20.26±5.86) ng/L vs. (25.32±3.67) ng/L; (84.19±15.14) ng/L vs. (102.95±11.24) ng/L;(458±5.37) mol/kg vs. (538.63±9.53) rig/L;(28.3±2.5) moL/kg vs. (34.8±3.9) mol/kg,all P<0.05], and higher SOD and GSH in the pancreatic tissue[(8.5 ±1.4) mg/kg vs. (7.1±0.6) mg/kg;(10 316±2810) kU/kg vs. (6423±1978) kU/kg, both P<0.05].At 72 hours the death rate in SF group was lower than that in SAP group,but the difference had no significance (P= 0.2.5). Conclusions SF can scavenge oxygen-derived free radicals, upgrade the contents of SOD and GSH of pancreatic tissue,decrease the levels of serum proinflammatory cytokines and ET-1, ameliorate the pathological le-sions of pancreatic tissue in rats,and has the capability of decreasing death rate, so it possesses a distinct advantage for the treatment of SAP.
