ObjectiveTo discuss the effect ofβ2 adrenoceptor on the alveolar fluid clearance (AFC) of the rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). MethodsSD rats was made to SAP model by injecting taurocholate into biliary-pancreatic duct.These rats were randomly divided into sham operation group and SAP group, the SAP group was divided into subgroups of SAP-4 h and SAP-24 h according to the sampling time after making model.The wet-to-dry ratio, AFC, and AFC affected byβ2 adrenoceptor agonist-terbutaline or inhibitor-propranolol were measured in the bilateral lungs.β2 adrenoceptor mRNA expression in the lungs tissues was measured by real-time-PCR. ResultsCompared with the sham operation group, the wet-to-dry ratio was significantly decreased (P < 0.05) and the AFC was significantly increased in the subgroup of SAP-4 h or SAP-24 h (P < 0.05), β2 adrenoceptor agonist-terbutaline couldn't increase the AFC of the subgroup of SAP-4 h or SAP-24 h (P > 0.05), inhibitor-propranolol could decrease AFC of subgroup of SAP-4 h or SAP-24 h (P < 0.05).β2 adrenoceptor mRNA was decreased in the subgroup of SAP-4 h or SAP-24 h as compared with the sham operation group (P < 0.05). ConclusionsBilateral lung liquid volome induced by SAP is less than the normal lung, AFC is increased in the early period of SAP but decreased in the late period.when the lung injury happens, β2 adrenoceptor might modulate AFC in rats of SAP model.The mechanism of lung injury of SAP is so complex that we need more experiments to be done.
ObjectiveTo explore effect of α-adrenoceptor on modulating water of lung in severe acute pancrea-titis (SAP) rat. MethodsThe SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (n=5) and SAP group,the SAP group was divided into subgroups of SAP-4 h (n=5) and SAP-24 h (n=5).SAP model was made by injecting taurocholate into bilopancreatic duct.The wet-to-dry ratio,alveolar fluid clearance (AFC),and AFC affected by α1-adrenoceptor inhibitor-prazosin and α2-adrenoceptor inhibitor-yohimbine separately or together were measured in the lungs.The α1-adrenoceptor and α2-adrenoceptor mRNA expressions in the lungs tissues were measured by real-time PCR. Results① The wet-to-dry ratios in the SAP-4 h group and SAP-24 h group were obviously decreased as compared with the sham operation group (P<0.05),which in the SAP-24 h group was significantly lower than that in the SAP-4 h group (P<0.05).② The AFCs in the SAP-4 h group and SAP-24 h group were obviously increased as compared with the sham operation group (P<0.05).The AFCs in the SAP with α1-adrenoceptor inhibitor-prazosin or α2-adrenocpetor inhibitor-yohimbine or prazosin combined with yohimbine were all obviously decreased as compared with the SAP group (P<0.05).③ The α1 adrenoceptor and α2 adrenoceptor mRNAs in the SAP-4 h group and SAP-24 h group were obviously increased as compared with the sham operation group (P<0.05). ConclusionAFC might be modulated by α-adrenoceptor in SAP rat.
