Abstract:
Objective To investigate the protection mechanism of ulinastatin on bacterial endotoxin-induced acute lung injury. Methods Acute lung injury was induced by Escherichia colilipo-polysaccharide(LPS)5 mg·kg-1·d-1,intratracheally. Twenty SD rats were randomly divided into control group(n=10)and ulinastatin group(n=10). Ulinastatid group received ulinastatin 50 kU·kg-1 ,the control groups received the same amount of 0. 9% sodium chloride solution. Then the expression changes of rat AQP-1 and AQP-5,alveolar wall thickness change and the degree of pulmonary edema were detected. Results After the injection of LPS into the rat,the expression of AQP-1 and AQP-5 in control group were continuously decreased,but those in ulinastatin group decreased were not obvious. The lung wet/dry weight ratio in the control group increased significantly,the not obvious changes in the ulinastain group. The thickness of the alveolar in 24,48,72 h of the control group were(3. 84±0. 68),(6. 32±1. 08),(11. 03±2. 47)μm, respectively,and those in the ulinastian groups were(2. 31±0. 44)(,3. 76±0. 82)(,2. 94±0. 67)μm,respectively. Conclusion The AQP-1 and AQP-5 induced the occurrence of pulmonary edema by changing the cell permeability. Ulinastatin can slow down the process so as to reduce the degree of endotoxin-induced lung injury.
