Effect of kallikrein on microcirculation of rats with pancreatic ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI).

Abstract

The common pathway for pancreatitis onset is pancreatic ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI), which plays an especially significant role in the evolution process from acute edematous pancreatitis (AP) towards severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). This study explored the effect of Kallikrein (PK) on pancreatic ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI). Male Wistar rats were taken as study objects, and a SAP -IRI combined model was established through retrograde infusion of 5% sodium taurocholate in biliopancreatic duct combining 30 min splenic artery clipping; drug intervention was carried out by pumping PK into rat caudal vein. Pancreatic microcirculation blood flow, pancreatic micro vascular permeability, hemorheological change and levels of adherence factors CD18 and CD54 were determined respectively. PK can obviously improve pancreatic microcirculation blood flow volume and velocity of IRI rats and expand arteriole; expand diameter of pancreatic blood capillary so that perfusion state tends to be stable; decrease pancreatic micro vascular permeability, reduce rat whole blood viscosity, erythrocyte deformation index and rigidity index; SAP-IRI combination reduces expression levels of white cell adhesion factor CD18 and vascular endothelial cell adhesion cell CD54 in rats. In conclusion, PK is an effective method of improving SAP pancreatic IRI microcirculation.
