Abstract
AIM: To investigate the influence of Taohe Chengqi decoction alone or combined with octreotide on serum contents of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and intra-abdominal pressure in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).
METHODS: Ninety SD rats were randomly divided into a control group (n = 18), a model group (n = 18), a Chinese medicine group (n = 18), an octreotide group (n = 18) and a Chinese medicine combined with octreotide group (n = 18). At 3 and 6 h after SAP was induced successfully, the rats were administered orally with Taohe Chengqi decoction (2.0 mL/100 g), or injected with octreotide (0.001 mg/kg), or both. Serum contents of TNF-α and IL-6 and intra-abdominal pressure were measured 6, 12, and 18 h after operation.
RESULTS: The contents of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum and intra-abdominal pressure in the model group were significantly increased (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the contents of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum and intra-abdominal pressure were reduced to varying degrees in the Chinese medicine group, octreotide group and Chinese medicine combined with octreotide group, with the changes being most prominent in the Chinese medicine combined with octreotide group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: The contents of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum and intra-abdominal pressure significantly decrease in SAP rats. Taohe Chengqi decoction combined with octreotide can alleviate pathological injury in SAP rats and delay the course of SAP.
