RESUMO
Objective To investigate the role of hepatic Kupffer cells in acute hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis associated lung injury(AHNP LI) and the therapeutic effects of gadolinium chloride(GdcI_3). Methods Forty-two Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups:(I) sham operation group;(II) AHNP group;(III) Gdcl_3 (protection) group(Gdcl3 10mg/kg);(IV) Gdcl_3control group(Gdcl_3 10mg/kg).In the sham operation group, the (abdominal) vescera were shifted around for several times and the abdomen was closed.The AHNP model was induced by retrograde intraductal administration of 5% sodium taurcholate(1ml/kg,0.1ml/min).In the Gdcl_3 protection group,Gdcl_3 solution was admmistered by caudal vein injection one day before the AHNP model was made.In these 3 group of animals,specimens were obtained in order at 3h and 6h postoperatively:(1)Blood was withdrawn from the abdominal aorta to determine serum amylase,TNF?,IL-1(in addition,in the sham operation group,blood AST and ALT were determined);(2)A portion of liguefied right lung was obtained to determine MPO;another portion was fixed with 10% formalin for tissue pathological examination;(3)Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of excised left lung was obtained ,and then alveolar macrophages were isolated,collected and purified.After removal of their nuclear (proteins),the alveolar macrophages were tested to determine NF-?B activation with the use of chemical illumination ELISA method;and (4)pancreatic tissue was reserved for pathological examination.In the Gdcl_3 control group, Gdcl_3 was administered by caudal vein injection,the animals were sacrificed 24h later,and blood was obtained to determine blood AST and ALT. Results In the Gdcl_3 prevention group,the level of MPO in lung tissue,serum (levels) of TNP? and IL-1,and NF-?B activation of alveolar (macrophages) were all significanfly reduced as compared with the AHNP model group(in all,P
