Effect of N-Acetylcysteine and Ascorbic Acid on Acute Lung Injury of Severe Acute Pancreatitis in Rats

Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of N-acetylcysteine(NAC) and ascorbic acid on acute lung injury(ALI) of severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).Methods:Forty SD rats were randomized into sham operation(SO) group,SAP+ALI group,NAC treated group,and NAC+ ascorbic acid treated group.The model of SAP+ALI was induced by retrograde injection of 4% sodium taurocholate(0.1 ml per 100 g body weight) into the biliopancreatic duct.NAC treated group were given 5% NAC(0.2 ml per 100 g body weight) intraperitoneally 30 min after induction of SAP,NAC+ ascorbic acid treated group were given 5% NAC+5% ascorbic acid(0.2 ml per 100 g body weight)intraperitoneally 30 min after induction of SAP.All the animals were sacrificed in 12 h after induction of pancreatitis and acute lung injury.The histopathological changes of lung tissue and wet/dry ratio of lung were evaluated.The levels of malonaldehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),reduced glutathione(GSH),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX) in serum,myeloperoxidase(MPO) in the lung,and NF-κB expression in the lung were measured.Results:The histopathological changes of lung tissue,wet/dry ratio of lung,the levels of MDA in serum,the activity of MPO,and the expression of NF-κB in the lung tissue were significantly increased in SAP+ALI group as compared with those in other three groups(all P<0.01).However,these indices were significantly decreased after the treatment of NAC or NAC+ascorbic acid(all P<0.01),and were significantly decreased in NAC+ascorbic acid treated group as compared with NAC treated group.The levels of GSH and GSH-PX in serum were the lowest in SAP+ALI group(all P<0.05),however,the indices were significantly increased after the treatment of NAC or NAC+ascorbic acid,especially in NAC treated group(P<0.05),but the two indices were still higher in SO group than the other groups(P<0.01).The levels of SOD had no markedly difference between SAP+ALI group and NAC treated group(P>0.05),but were higher than in SO group and NAC+ascorbic acid treated group(P<0.01).Conclusion:NAC and ascorbic acid can restrain activated NF-κB and decrease oxygen free radicals,reduce lung injury and systemic inflammatory response syndrome.NAC and ascorbic acid may have a therapeutic effect on ALI of SAP by removing oxygen free radicals.
