  • Rapid Measurement of Urinary Trypsinogen-2 for Patients with Acute Abdominal Pain

    Objective To investigate the significance of urinary trypsinogen-2 dipstick test and the ratio of urinary amylase to urinary creatinine for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis(AP).Methods A total of 57 consecutive patients who were suspected as AP presenting with abdominal pain at the emergency department experienced the test of serum and urinary amylase, urinary creatinine assay, urinary trypsinogen-2 dipstick and ultrasonography. Results There were 18 patients diagnosed as acute pancreatitis, the serum amylase assay had a sensitivity of 88.9 percent (cutoff value, 300 U per liter) and a specificity of 87.2 percent, the sensitivity and specificity of the urinary amylase assay and the ratio of urinary amylase to urinary creatinine were 88.9 (cutoff value, 2000 U per liter), 94.4 (cutoff value, 120 U per mmol Cr), 84.6 and 89.7 percent, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the urinary trypsinogen-2 test strip were 94.4 and 92.3 percent. The sensitivity of the ultrasonography were 88.9 percent. Conclusion Urinary trypsinogen-2 dipstick test is a good index for the diagnosis of AP. The ratio of urinary amylase to urinary creatinine is also a useful index and may be better than urinary amylase for the diagnosis of AP.

  • THE PRODUCTION AND POSSIBLE SIGNIFICANCE OF PLASMA TRYPSINOGEN ACTIVATION PEPTIDES IN EXPERIMENTAL ACUTE PANCREATITIS IN RAT

    【Abstract】Objective To investigate the production and possible significance of plasma trypsinogen activation peptides (TAP) in rat experimental acute pancreatitis. Methods Ninety SD rats were randomly allocated to five groups: group EP with retrograde ductal infusion of 3%sodium taurocholate; group NP with retrograde ductal infusion of 5%sodium taurocholate; group TP with retrograde ductal infusion of 3%sodium taurocholate and ulinastatin(UTI) intravenous infusion half an hour later; group CP with 0.9% NS retrograde ductal infusion; group OP with sham operation. Animals in each group were killed 3h,6h and 24h after infusion. Plasma TAP was determined by EIA.The histological severity of the pancreas were assessed by Schmidt method. Results The pancreatic pathological changes in group NP was significantly severe than in group EP. At 3h and 6h after infusion, plasma TAP concentration of group NP (4.798±0.169)nmol/L and (3.999±0.299)nmol/L were significant higher than that of group EP(2.416±0.148)nmol/L and (3.356±0.211)nmol/L. At 6h after infusion plasma TAP concentration of group TP 〔(1.611±0.113)nmol/L〕 was significant lower than that of group EP(3.356±0.211)nmol/L. The difference of plasma TAP concentration between group EP and group NP appeared prior to the difference of the histopathological changes of pancreas between two groups. Conclusion Plasma TAP concentration is connected with the severity of sodium taurocholate-induced rat pancreatitis. Plasma TAP concentration may be used as a marker for early assessment of the severity of this experimental acute pancreatitis.

  • Research of TAP Induction The Pancreatic Acinar Cells to Release HMGB1 in Rat

    Objective To explore the secretion law of high mobility group box 1(HMGB1)in rat pancreatic acinar cells induced by trypsin activation peptide(TAP)and release of HMGB1 affected by ethyl pyruvate(EP). Methods The experiment was performed in 12 SD rats. The pancreatic acinar cells of rats were taken out and then separated into three groups:control group, TAP group, and EP group. TAP was added into TAP group and EP group(keep TAP at a final concentration of 3 nmol/L), respectively, but EP was added into EP group only (keep EP at a final concentration of 28 mmol/L). The expressions of HMGB1 mRNA and protein were detected by using real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)or Western blot at 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h time point, respectively. The relationship between HMGB1 and TAP action time was explored by rank correlation. Results Compared with control group, the expressions of HMGB1 mRNA and protein were increased with prolongation of the TAP action in TAP group and EP group(P<0.05). Compared with TAP group, the expressions of HMGB1 mRNA and protein were decreased in EP group(P<0.05). The expressions of HMGB1 mRNA and protein were increased with prolongation of the TAP action(P<0.05), and were highest at 12 h time point(P<0.01)in TAP group. There were positive correlation between the expressions of HMGB1 mRNA and protein and TAP action time(rs=0.971, P<0.01;rs=0.966, P<0.01).Conclusions TAP can induce the release of HMGB1 in pancreatic acinar cells. There is positive relationship between TAP in early stage and HMGB1 in later period of acute pancreatitis. EP can inhibit the release of HMGB1.

  • Effect of Prophylactic Administration of Trypsin Inhibitors on Pancreatic Islet Isolation of Adult Porcine

    【Abstract】ObjectiveTo develop a method of adult porcine pancreatic islet isolation.MethodsThe tails of adult porcine pancreas were perfused through the pancreatic duct with 0.1% cold collagenase(type Ⅺ) and incubated at 38.5 ℃.The digested tissue was dispersed in 4 ℃ Hanks balanced salt solution(HBSS).The tissue suspensions were filtered through a 600 μm mesh.The residual tissue was resuspended in cold HBSS,and put in the Ricordi’s chamber and shaken for 5 minutes,then filtered again.The isolated islets were divided into three groups: control group(n=14),Pefabloc(trypsin inhibitor,n=8) group and FOY(trypsin inhibitor,n=5) group.The collagenase solution of the Pefabloc and FOY group was supplemented with 1.0 mmol/L Pefabloc and FOY respectively. ResultsThe islet yields of the Pefabloc group and FOY group 〔(11 848±3 530) islet/g pancreas and (14 496±3 693) islet/g pancreas〕 were significantly higher than that of the control group 〔(8 505±3 349) islet/g pancreas〕,P<0.05.The activity of pancreatic protein enzyme in digestive fluid after digestion in control group was higher than the activity of pancreatic duct before injection and Pefabloc group(P<0.01),which the control group, pancreatic duct before injection and Pefabloc group were (114.7±50.0) BAEEU,(4.0±1.8) BAEEU and (5.5±2.7) BAEEU,respectively.The pancreatic duct before injection and Pefabloc group showed no significant difference in statistics. In control group,when the harvest of islet was more than 8 000/g,the activity of pancreatic protoin enzyme was less than that with the harvest of islet below 8 000/g 〔(78.3±26.7) BAEEU vs (137.5±48.4) BAEEU,P<0.05〕.Islet after purification in control group,Pefabloc group and FOY group showed good insulin secretion ability for different concentration of glucose.ConclusionA higher porcine pancreatic islet yield can be obtained by this method of pancreatic islet isolation and prophylactic administration of trypsin inhibitors consistently produce excellent islet yields.

  • Experimental Study of Relationship of Zonula Occludens-1 and Microvascular Injury in Rats with Severe Acute Pancreatitis

    Objective To investigate the changes of expression of zonula occludens-1(ZO-1) in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and to study the relationship between the ZO-1 protein and microvascular injury in rats with SAP. Methods Forty-eight Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham-operation (SO) group and SAP group, each group enrolled 24 rats. Pancreas of rats in SO group were flipped only after laparotomies, but rats of SAP group were injected with 5% sodium taurocholate by retrograding cholangiopancreatography micro pump to produce the SAP model. At 6, 12, and 24 hours after operation, 8 rats were sacrificed to get abdominal aortic blood for testing the levels of peripheral blood amylase, trypsin, interleukin-8(IL-8), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), and ZO-1 protein. At the same time, pancreatic tissues were got to perform HE staining and immunohistochemical staining for observation of the pathological changes and the expression of ZO-1 protein respectively. Results Compared with SO group at the same time, the levels of peripheral blood amylase, trypsin, IL-8, TNF-α, and ZO-1 protein were all higher in SAP group (P < 0.05). The level of amylase in SAP-24 hours group was higher than those of 6 hours group and 12 hours group(P < 0.05), the levels of trypsin, IL-8, and ZO-1 protein in SAP group increased over time (P < 0.05), but levels of TNF-αin 3 time points of SAP group did not differ with each other significantly(P > 0.05). Results of regression showed that in the SAP group, the level of ZO-1 protein in serum was significantly positive correlated with pathological score of pancreatic tissue(b=0.96, P < 0.05), levels of serum amylase(b=0.87, P < 0.05), trypsin(b=0.72, P < 0.05), and serum IL-8 (b=0.69, P < 0.05), but was not significantly correlated with level of TNF-α(P > 0.05). HE staining results showed that damage of pancreatic tissues became worse over time in SAP group, and the pathological score of SAP-6 hours group was lower than those of 12 hours group and 24 hours group (P < 0.05). Immunohistochemical staining results showed that, in SAP group, with the extension of time, the number of ZO-1 protein granules in pancreatic acinar cells and capillary wall reduced, and expressed in capillaries discontinuously. Conclusion During the course of SAP, the concentration of serum ZO-1 protein increase, but its expression in the pancreatic tissue degrade, which is closely associated with microvascular injury and progression of pancreatic tissues.
