ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the brain damage effects of lysophasphatidyl choline(LPC) in rats with pancreatitis and explore the pathogenesis of pancreatic encephalopathy(PE).Methods: SD rats were divided into test group,control group one and control group two at random.Acute edematous pancreatits rat model was induced following Aho HJ method for test group and control group one,then test group rats were venously applied with LPC and control group one was injected saline through tail vein.Control group two was treated with venous injection LPC through the rat tails without operation.Horseradish peroxidase(HRP) was used as a tracer to detemine if the blood-brain barrier(BBB)was open 7～10 days after successive application of LPC.The extravasated tracer was showed by diaminobenzidine(DAB).Rat brain tissue sections were examined by ponceau stain and Luxol Fast Blue stain to determine whether the rat brains were demyelination at the same time.Results: The BBB permeability of the test groupLTU rats increased greatly and obvious demyelination was observed in test group rat brains while both control groups had basically intact BBB and scarce demyelination was observed in both control groups.A statistical difference existed between the test group and control groups.Conclusion:LPC definitely open the BBB of the rat pancreatitis and demyelinates the brain of pancreatitis rats thus LPC plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PE.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the nonoperative management strategy to prevent the conversion of acute pancreatitis to the severe form.Methods In recent 4 years,286 patients with mild acute pancreatitis admitted to our hospital were divided into control group and treatment observation group;routine conservative management was performed in control group,and the strategy of improving pancreatic microcirculation and preventing cell Ca~2+ overload and inhibiting pancreatic protease was added to the treatment observation group.Results Among the 144 patients with mild acute pancreatitis in control group,conversion to severe acute pancreatitis occurred in 20 patients,and 14 of the 20 patients with severe acute pancreatitis developed systemic complications.Among the 142 cases in treatment observation group,the conversion of mild to severe acute pancreatitis occurred in 8 patients,and 2 of the 8 patients developed systemic complications.Serum C-reactive protein levels and Balthazar CT severity index were significantly decreased at each time point in treatment observation group compared to control group.Conclusions In addition to routine management,improving pancreatic microcirculation,preventing cell Ca~2+ overload and inhibiting pancreatic protease might serve as a benificial strategy for preventing the progression of mild acute pancreatitis to the severe form.
