Abstract

Background

Studies suggest that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ(PPARγ) ligands may represent a therapeutic option in acute pancreatitis, yet most of them have been prophylactic administrated.

Aims

To evaluate the therapeutic effect of pioglitazone in rats with severe acute pancreatitis induced by sodium taurocholate.

Methods

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) was induced in male Sprague–Dawley rats by the retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct. After SAP was induced, pioglitazone was injected intraperitoneally and its role on the severity of inflammatory response and pancreatic injury was investigated. Amylase activity, inflammatory cytokines production, pathological changes of pancreas, PPARγ mRNA expression, and the survival rate were examined.

Results

Treatment with pioglitazone decreased the level of amylase activity, proinflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α, ameliorated pancreatic histological score, and upregulated the expression of PPARγ mRNA. The survival rate in the early stage of severe acute pancreatitis was also improved.

Conclusions

Pioglitazone can be used as a therapeutic drug and relieve the damages caused by SAP, which suggests PPARγ ligand-pioglitazone offers a potent approach for the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

25.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
