Abstract:
AIM: To study the effects of Rhodiola(Rho), nitric oxid e (NO), hem oglobin (HB) on the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS) in early stage aft er burn in rabbits. METHODS:The rabbits were divided into the sh am burn group (SB), burn group (B), orally taken Rho group (R), burn and Rho therapy group (BR ). The changes of hemodynamics were monitored. The index of pulmonary permeabili ty was calculated. These data reflected separately the functions of heart, live r, lung, kidney and blood coagulation system were also determined. NO contents i n ser um and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured by Griess method. The l e vels of serum HB were measured. RESULTS:① The dysfunctions of hear t, liver and kidney achieved the criterion of MODS in group B at 48 h postburns (B 48 h ). The N O content of group B significantly increased in serum and BALF at B 48 h . ② The cardiac index (CI) and creatine phosphokinase (CK), urea nitrogen (BUN) markedly raised or decreased in group BR at 48 h postburns (BR 48 h ) than B 48 h . The NO cont ents in serum and BALF markedly raised. ③ HB contents in serum markedly raised in group B and BR at 0 h postburns (B 0 h , BR 0 h ) than group SB, B 48 h , R, BR 48 h , but NO was reverse. CONCLUTIONS: ① HB contents in serum markedly raise d at 0 h post burns, but NO was reverse. ② Rho promoted the increases of NO synthesis and the blood perfusion of organs, which might be one of mechanisms to prevent the devel opment of MODS.
