RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To explore the improvement mechanism of proanthocyanidins on acute kidney injury （AKI） induced by gentamicin in rats. METHODS Gentamicin sulfate was injected intraperitoneally to construct the AKI rat model； the model rats were randomly divided into model control group， benazepril hydrochloride 5 mg/kg group （positive control）， proanthocyanidins 50 mg/kg group， proanthocyanidins 100 mg/kg group， and proanthocyanidins 200 mg/kg group， with 10 rats in each group； in addition， 10 normal rats were selected to be treated as the normal control group. The rats in each administration group were given corresponding liquid intragastrically， and the normal control group and model control group were given equal volumes of normal saline intragastrically， once a day， for 28 consecutive days. After the last administration， the levels of serum creatinine （SCr）， blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px） and 24 h urinary protein （UP） were detected； the renal index was calculated； the pathological changes of renal tissue were observed and the pathological score was calculated； the apoptotic rate of cells in renal tissue and the expression levels of Caspase-3 and Bcl-2 associated X protein （Bax）， as well as the phosphorylation levels of silent information regulator of transcription 1 （SIRT1） and AMP-activated protein kinase （AMPK） were detected. RESULTS Compared with the model control group， the levels of SCr， BUN， UP and MDA， the renal index， the pathological score of renal tissue， the apoptotic rate of cells in renal tissue， the protein expression levels of Caspase-3 and Bax in renal tissue of rats in each administration group were decreased significantly； SOD and GSH-Px levels， phosphorylation levels of SIRT1 and AMPK protein were increased significantly （P＜0.05）， and the effect of proanthocyanidins was in a dose-dependent manner （P＜0.05）. There were no significant differences in the above indexes between proanthocyanidins 200 mg/kg group and benazepril hydrochloride 5 mg/kg group （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The improvement effect of proanthocyanidins on AKI rats may be related to the activation of SIRT1/AMPK signaling pathway to inhibit oxidative stress.
RESUMO
Objective To study the clinical effect of peritoneal and abdominal indwelling tube by ultrasound for patients with severe acute pancreatitis.Methods Sixty-eight patients with severe acute pancreatitis from January 2010 to December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.The patients were divided into experiment group (48 cases) and control group (20 cases).The patients in control group were given the common drugs treatment,and the patients in experiment group were given the common drugs and the peritoneal and abdominal indwelling tube by ultrasound.The clinical effects and complication were compared.Results The total efficacy rate in experiment group was 93.75％(45/48),in control group was 35.00％(7/20),and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Seven patients in experiment group occurred complication,after the symptomatic treatment 6 patients recovered and 1 patient died of multiple organ failure;7 patients in control group occurred complication,after the symptomatic treatment 3 patients recovered and 4 patitents died of infection recurrence.The complication rate in experiment group was 14.58％(7/48),in control group was 35.00％ (7/20),and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Peritoneal and abdominal indwelling tube by ultrasound could improve clinical efficacy and decrease complication rate for patients with severe acute pancreatitis.
