Abstract:
Objective To observed the expression of serum TNF-α and IL-10 in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) at different altitudes,and to explore the relationships between TNF-α and IL-10,the pathological changes of the pancreas,and the experimental basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of SAP.Methods 72 specific pathogen free (SPF) Wistar male rats were divided randomly into three groups:1 500 meters altitude (group L),3 300 meters altitude (group M),and 4 300 meters altitude (group H).These three groups were then each divided randomly into four subgroups:control (group n),6 hours after pancreatitis (group p 6 h),12 hours after pancreatitis (group p 12 h),and 24 hours after pancreatitis (group p 24 h).Pancreatitis was induced by intraductal administration of 5% sodium taurocholate hydrate (NaTc).The rats were killed at 6,12,and 24 hours after NaTc injection in groups p.The group n rats were killed after 6 hours of pancreas observation.Blood samples and pancreatic tissues were collected post mortem and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) measured serum TNF-α and IL-10.Results Compared with the control (group n),histopathological scores,IL-10,and TNF-α in the same altitude had a significant difference (P < 0.05) in group p at each time point.In the same altitude of group p,histopathological scores and IL-10 were increased with time elapsed (P < 0.05),while TNF-α was decreased with time elapsed (P < 0.05).There was a significant difference between group Mp and Lp in histopathological scores,IL-10,and TNF-α (P < 0.05),and the same result between group Hp and Lp (P < 0.05),but there was no significant difference between group Hp and Mp (P < 0.05).Meanwhile,IL-10 had a positive relationship with histopathological score,but TNF-α had a negative relationship with histopathological score.Conclusions The level of TNF-α increased with increasing altitude but significantly reduced with elapsed time.The level of IL-10 increased with both increasing altitude elapsed time.These results suggested that TNF-o and IL-10 might play a important role at different times in severe acute pancreatitis.
