Abstract

BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis is a disease with high morbidity and mortality, despite all the advances in technology. The overall mortality rate of acute pancreatitis is 10%, whereas the mortality rate in infected necrotizing pancreatitis is approximately 35%. Inthis study, we aimed to establish acute pancreatitis in rats in order to try out the alpha-tocopherol treatment protocol and to revealthe results biochemically and histopathologically.METHODS: Twenty-four male male Sprague–Dawley rats weighing between 300 and 350 g were used in the study. In Group 1, 80µg/kg of normal saline was subcutaneously injected into eight rats; in Group 2, 80 µg/kg of cerulein was subcutaneously injected intoeight rats; and in Group 3, 80 µg/kg of cerulein was subcutaneously injected into eight rats. In addition, 30 mg/kg of alpha-tocopherolwas intraperitoneally injected into eight rats.RESULTS: The mean Schoenberg score, serum amylase, and lipase and Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) levelswere statistically significantly higher in Group 2 than in Group 1. The mean Schoenberg score and serum amylase and lipase levels werestatistically significantly lower in Group 3 than in Group 2.CONCLUSION: In this experimental study rat model of cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis, 30 mg/kg of alpha-tocopherol wasinjected intraperitoneally to examine its effect on pancreatitis. The improvement was observed in the histopathological examinationof pancreatic tissues. We think that alpha-tocopherol may have a therapeutic effect on pancreatic tissue.

Özet

AMAÇ: Akut pankreatit, teknolojideki tüm gelişmelere rağmen morbiditesi ve mortalitesi yüksek bir hastalıktır. Akut pankreatitte mortalite oranı tüm hastalar için %10 iken, bu oran enfekte olmuş nekrotizan pankreatitli hastalarda yaklaşık olarak %35’tir. Biz, bu çalışmada öncelikle sıçanlarda akut pankreatit oluşturmayı, alfa tokoferol tedavi protokolünü denemeyi ve sonuçları biyokimyasal ve histopatolojik olarak ortaya koymayı amaçladık. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Çalışmada 24 adet erkek sıçan kullanıldı. Grup 1: Kontrol grubu olarak sekiz sıçana birer saatlik arayla altı kez toplam 80 mikrogram/kg (cerulein ile eş hacimli) serum fizyolojik subkutan enjekte edildi. Grup 2: Sekiz sıçana birer saat ara ile altı kez toplam 80 ug/kg cerulein subkutan enjekte edildi. Grup 3: Sekiz sıçana birer saat ara ile toplam 80 mikrogram/kg cerulein ve birer saat arayla iki kez 30 mg/kg alfa-tokoferol intraperitoneal enjekte edildi. BULGULAR: Ortalama Schoenberg skoru, serum amilaz, lipaz ve NGAL seviyeleri Grup 2’de Grup 1’e göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüsekti. Ortalama Schoenberg skoru, serum amilaz ve lipaz seviyeleri Grup 3’de Grup 2’ye göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede düşüktü. TARTIŞMA: Cerulein ile oluşturulan pankreatit modelinde pankreatitin üzerine olan etkisini incelemek amacıyla 30 mg/kg alfa-tokoferol intraperitoneal olarak uygulandı. Alfa-tokoferolün pankres dokusu üzerine tedavi edici etkisi olabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.
