Abstract:
Objectives Pancreatic ischemia is a pathogeny of acute pancreatitis(AP), and systemic blood rheologic changes have close relationship with AP. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of the systemic blood rheologic and pancreatic hemodynamic changes in rats with AP, and to reveal their relationship. Methods Acute edematous pancreatitis(AEP, n =20) and acute necrotizing pancreatits(ANP, n =20) models were induced by injection of sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct of rats, another 10 normal rats were used as control group. The pancreatic blood flow(PBF) was measured by Doppler ultrasound before and after the operation. At 12 h after the induction of AP, 10 rats in each group were sacrificed, the blood rheologic indexes were detected, and the pathological study of pancreas was performed. The survival rate in 3 days of the rest 10 rats in AEP and ANP group was also observed. Results Compared with the control group, only the hemagglatination index increased in AEP group and all the blood rheologic indexes increased in ANP group distinctly with the elevation of blood viscosity curve. The velocity of PBF was decreased in AEP and ANP groups, reducing to 79% and 30% of theirs levels before the induction of AP. Compared with the control group, the pathological scores of pancreatic edema, inflammation, hemorrhage and necrosis of AEP rats significantly increased, and compared with AEP group, these four indexes increased significantly in ANP rats. The survival rate in 3 days of AEP group was 90%, but that of ANP group was 0. Conclusions Systemic blood rheologic and pancreatic hemodynamic changes happen synchronously in rats with AP. The injury of pancreatic microcirculation due to ischemia is one of the initial pathogeneses of AP. The change of blood rheology is not a contributing factor causing AP, it could aggravate pancreatic ischemia and accelerate the pancreatic injury after onset.
