Abstract:
The relationship between the behavior of the mononuclear phagocyte system(MPS)and acute pulmonary injury during acute obstructive cholangitis(AOC)was investigated in 90 Wistar rats.After the operation to induce actue obstructive cholangitis,the animals were killed in the Oth,6th,12th,24th and 48th hour,and the phagocytic function of Kupffer's cells,the number of alveolar macrophages in the lung lavage fluid,and the extravascular water content of the lungs were measured.And the pulmonary levels of lipid peroxidase and supperoxide dismutase were determined as well.It was found that when the phagocytic function of Kupffer's cells was suppressed,the alveolar macrophages were activated by the invading bacteria to release some inflammatory mediators such as free radicals resulting in acute pulmonary injury.It seems that there is a close relationship between the fuctional status of mononuclear phagocyte system and the development of pulmonary injury,and the functional failure of mononuclear phagocyte system plays an important role in the pathogenesis of multiple organ failure especially of acute pulmonary injury.
