Protective and therapeutic effects of Danhong injection on acute pancreatitis‑associated lung injury.
Molecular Medicine Reports 2017 November
Lung functional impairment caused by acute pancreatitis (AP) is the primary contributor to AP‑associated mortality. Previous studies have reported that AP‑associated lung injury is associated with systemic inflammatory response syndrome and oxidative stress. In the present study, the protective effects of Danhong injection (DHI), a widely used Chinese Traditional Medicine preparation, on AP‑associated lung injury in rats was examined. The myeloperoxidase activity, malondiadelhyde level and superoxide dismutase activity determination demonstrated the anti‑inflammatory and anti‑oxidative properties of DHI. The results of western blotting and reverse‑transcription‑semi‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction indicated that DHI could protect rats against AP‑associated lung injury, and the protective effect was associated with the suppression of nuclear factor‑κB activation and cell adhesion molecule expression, and the reduction of neutrophil infiltration and oxidative stress levels. As demonstrated by HE staining, DHI inhibited the pancreas and lung tissue injury. Therefore, DHI could be a potential candidate for the treatment of patients with AP‑associated lung injury.
