Effect of Somatostatin, Ulinastatin and Gabexate on the Treatment of Severe Acute Pancreatitis.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of somatostatin, ulinastatin and gabexate for the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 492 patients with severe acute pancreatitis were assigned randomly into the following 4 groups: (1) somatostatin; (2) somatostatin + ulinastatin; (3) somatostatin + gabexate and (4) somatostatin + ulinastatin + gabexate. Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II scores; clinical parameters including time of abdominal pain and distention extinct; recovering to normality of heart rate and respiration rate; amylase and blood glucose; ratios of efficacy; multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS); mortality; complication; levels of endotoxin; tumor necrosis factor alpha; interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8 and IL-10 and side effects were analyzed.
RESULTS: Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II scores, time of abdominal pain extinct and distention extinct, time of recovering to normality of heart rate, time of recovering to normality of respiration rate and time of recovering to normality of amylase and blood glucose were significantly decreased in the somatostatin + ulinastatin, the somatostatin + gabexate and the somatostatin + ulinastatin + gabexate subgroups compared with the somatostatin subgroup. Ratios of efficacy were significantly improved, whereas ratios of MODS, mortality and complication were significantly decreased in the somatostatin + ulinastatin and the somatostatin + ulinastatin + gabexate subgroups compared with the somatostatin subgroup. Tumor necrosis factor alpha, IL-6 and IL-8 levels on the fourth day after treatment showed significant decrease in the somatostatin + ulinastatin, the somatostatin + gabexate and the somatostatin + ulinastatin + gabexate subgroups compared with the somatostatin subgroup. The IL-10 levels on the fourth day were significantly improved in the somatostatin + ulinastatin, the somatostatin + gabexate and the somatostatin + ulinastatin + gabexate subgroups compared with the somatostatin subgroup.
CONCLUSIONS: Somatostatin is effective for the treatment of acute pancreatitis, ulinastatin demonstrates improvement in therapeutic benefits and gabexate can relieve the clinical symptoms and shorten the course of disease but cannot improve the effective ratio or decrease MODS, mortality and complication.
