Objective:To investigate the effect of Qingjie Huagong decoction on the polarization of intestinal M1/M2 macro-phages in rats with severe acute pancreatitis and the related molecular mechanisms.Methods:Forty-eight SD rats were randomly divid-ed into blank group,model group,Qingjie Huagong decoction low,medium and high dose groups,and Western medicine group.The rat model of severe acute pancreatitis was established according to 5%sodium taurocholate retrograde pancreatic duct.Western medi-cine group was given intraperitoneal injection of ulinastatin injection,and Qingjie Huagong decoction low,medium and high dose groups were given corresponding concentrations of traditional Chinese medicine by intragastric.After 24 h of intervention,pancreatic and ileal tissues were taken for HE staining to observe pathological changes.The levels of serum amylase,TNF-α,IL-6,IL-10 and TGF-β in intestinal tissue homogenate were detected by ELISA.Western blot and Real-time PCR were used to detect phosphatidylino-sitol 3-kinase(PI3K),protein serine-threonine kinase(Akt),inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS),leukocyte differentiation anti-gen 86(CD86),and arginase in ileum tissue The relative expression levels of 1(Arg-1),leukocyte differentiation antigen 163(CD163)protein and mRNA.Results:Compared with the model group,the pathological injury of pancreas and small intestine in Qingjie Huagong low,medium and high groups were alleviated after intervention.ELISA method for detecting serum amylase and TNF-α,IL-6 levels significantly decreased(P<0.05),while the levels of IL-10 and TGF-β were increased(P<0.05);expression levels of p-PI3K/PI3K,p-Akt,iNOS,CD86 mRNA and protein were significantly reduced(P<0.05),while the levels of CD163,Arg-1 mRNA and protein were significantly increased(P<0.05),with the highest dose group showing the most significant changes.Conclu-sion:Qingjie Huagong decoction may regulation the PI3K/Akt pathway and interfere with M1 macrophage polarization,inducing M2 macrophage polarization,reducing intestinal inflammatory response,improving intestinal immune barrier,and play its role in anti-in-flammatory-immune regulation.

Acute pancreatitis （AP） is a common clinical acute abdominal disease， which is characterized by acute onset， rapid development， severe disease， many complications， and high mortality rate. It can progress to severe AP （SAP） if not treated promptly in the early stage. The pathogenesis of AP is complex and involves multiple cellular and molecular levels. It is now clear that oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species （ROS） production are involved in the physiopathological process of AP， which is associated with a low quantity and activity of antioxidant enzymes in pancreatic cells. Nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2） serves as the ''golden key'' to maintain redox homeostasis in tissue cells and constitutes an important signaling pathway for antioxidant response and inflammation in vivo by collaborating with downstream antioxidant enzymes such as heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1）. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique efficacy in treating diseases due to its multi-component， multi-target， multi-drug delivery， and multi-formulation characteristics. Based on the concept of synergy between traditional Chinese and Western medicine， traditional Chinese medicine is becoming a new craze in the treatment of AP. The level of oxidative stress and Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in AP pancreatic tissue are in a dynamic change process， and the intervention of traditional Chinese medicine can clean ROS production， affect the inflammatory pathway， and reduce oxidative stress damage， so as to protect against pancreatic injury. This suggests that this pathway plays an important role in AP. This article reviews the recent literature on the regulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway by traditional Chinese medicine for AP and summarizes that the monomers of traditional Chinese medicine targeting this pathway are mainly heat-clearing and detoxifying， blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing， and Qi benefiting and middle warming， and the compounds of traditional Chinese medicine include Yinchenhao Decoction and QingYi Ⅱ， so as to provide a new direction for the prevention and treatment of AP and further drug development.
