ObjectiveTo study the effects of continuous regional arterial infusion (CRAI) of dexamethasone on plasma inflammatory factors of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) rabbits. MethodsTwentyfour rabbits were randomly divided into sham operation group, SAP group, intravenous infusion of dexamethasone group and CRAI of dexamethasone group (each group 6 rabbits) by random number table. The serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, and amylase (AMY) levels in rabbits were tested at hour 0.5, 3, 6, 9, and 12 after modeling succeed. The pathological changes of pancreas and the survival were observed on day 3 after modeling succeed. ResultsCompared with the sham operation group, the serum levels of IL-6 significantly increased at 3 h and reached the peak at 6 h, decreased at 9 h (all P lt;0.05); levels of IL-10 significantly increased at 6 h, continuously elevated at 9 h and 12 h (all P lt;0.001); levels of TNF-α significantly increased at 0.5 h (P lt;0.001), reached the peak at 6 h (P lt;0.001) and decreased at 9 h (P lt;0.05); levels of AMY significantly increased at 9 h, continuously elevated at 12 h (all P lt;0.05) in the SAP group. Compared with the SAP group, the serum levels of IL-6 and IL-10 in the CRAI of dexamethasone group all significantly decreased at 6 h, 9 h, and 12 h (P lt;0.001); levels of IL6 significantly decreased only at 6 h in the intravenous infusion of dexamethasone group; levels of TNF-α in the CRAI of dexamethasone group significantly decreased at 3 h, 6 h, 9 h, and 12 h (all P lt;0.001), which in the intravenous infusion of dexamethasone group significantly decreased only at 6 h (P lt;0.05); levels of AMY in the CRAI of dexamethasone group and intravenous infusion of dexamethasone group all significantly decreased at 12 h (P lt;0.05). Compared with the intravenous infusion of dexamethasone group, the serum levels of IL-6 and IL-10 in the CRAI of dexamethasone group all significantly decreased at 6 h (P lt;0.05) and 12 h (P lt;0.001); levels of TNF-α all significantly decreased at 3 h, 6 h, 9 h, and 12 h (all P lt;0.001); levels of AMY were not significantly different (P gt;0.05). The pathological changes of pancreas in the CRAI of dexamethasone group were obvious, the death of rabbits reduced on day 3 after modeling succeed. ConclusionCRAI dexamethasone can effectively reduce the systemic inflammatory response and pancreatic inflammation, and reduce mortality.
