Effect of 5-fluorouracil on regulation of inflammation-associated cytokine in acute pancreatitis in rats / 中国普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of 5 fluorouracil (5 FU) on regulating the inflammatory and anti inflammatory cytokines in acute pancreatitis(AP) in rats, and to investigate the mechanism of treatment of AP with 5 FU. Method SD male rats were divided randomly into 3 groupsfalse operation group (n=6), AP group(n=24) and 5 FU treatment group(n=24). Then, AP group and 5 FU treatment group redivided respectively into 3 subgroups After the AP model sut up or after 5 Fu treatment 2, 6 and 24 h subgroups (n=8). The animals were killed at the blood samples were taken for measurement of TNF ?, IL 1, IL 6, IL 10 and TGF ?. The wet weight of pancreatic tissue and blood amylase also were observed. Results Both serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF ?,IL 1 and IL 6) and anti inflammatory cytokines (IL 10 and TGF ?) in AP group increased significantly (P
