Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of Chaihuang Qingyi Huoxue Granules on multiple organ damage induced by caerulein combined with lipopolysaccharide in mice with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).Methods Twenty-four C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into three groups:control(n=8),SAP(n=8)and Chaihuang Qingyi Huoxue Granules(CHQY group,n=8).Mice in SAP and CHQY groups were intraperitoneally injected with caerulein(50 μg/kg)at hourly intervals for 7 consecutive times,followed by an immediate intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide(10 mg/kg).Mice in control group received an equal volume of normal saline.After the successful establishment of the model,CHQY group mice were administered Chaihuang Qingyi Huoxue Granules[3.185 g/(kg·d)]via gavage,while control and SAP group mice received an equal volume of normal saline.Twenty-four hours post-modeling,mice were anesthetized,and serum was collected and separated for analysis of the activities of amylase(AMY),lipase(LPS),aspartate transaminase(AST),alanine transaminase(ALT)and the contents of creatinine(CREA)and urea(UREA)using an automatic biochemical analyzer.Serum levels of interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6,IL-8,IL-18,and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were measured by ELISA.Tissue samples from pancreas,lung,liver,kidney,and small intestine were collected for histopathological examination using hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and scored.The expression of nuclear factor-κB p65(NF-κB p65)was detected in all tissues by immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with control group,the activities of AMY,LPS,AST and ALT,and the contents of CREA,UREA,IL-1β,IL-6,IL-8,IL-18,and TNF-α were increased(P<0.05).Pathological injuries in the pancreas,lung,liver,kidney,and small intestine was significant,with increased pathological scores and a higher proportion of NF-κB p65 positive cells(P<0.05).Compared with SAP group,the activities of AMY,LPS,AST,ALT,and the contents of CREA,UREA,IL-1β,IL-6,IL-8,IL-18,and TNF-α in the serum of CHQY group were decreased(P<0.05).Pathological injuries in the pancreas,lung,liver,kidney and small intestine were reduced,with lower pathological scores and a decreased proportion of NF-κB p65 positive cells(P<0.05).Conclusion Chaihuang Qingyi Huoxue Granules have a certain therapeutic effect on SAP model mice,which may be related to reducing inflammation response and improving multiple organ damage such as the pancreas,lung,liver,kidney and small intestine.
