Abstract:
ObjectiveTo study the protective effects of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) antibody on pancreatic encephalopathy in rats. MethodsSixty SD rats were randomly divided into the normal control group, acute necrotizing pancreatitis induction group and TNF-α antibody treated group. Acute hemorrhage necrotizing pancreatitis model in rats were induced by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatobiliary duct. Serum TNF-α was detected and animals were killed 12 h after drug administration. The changes of brain water contents, leucocyte accumulation and adhesion were measured, and pathological studies of pancreas and brain were performed. ResultsIn group of TNF-α antibody treated, serum TNF-α level decreased, brain water contents and leucocytes accumulation and adhension decreased significantly than that of acute necrotizing pancreatitis induction group (P<0.05). The histopathological change of pancrea was alleviative. ConclusionTNF-α antibody can alleviate the brain damage in acute hemorrhage necrotizing pancreatitis.
