| Research Abstract |
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is clinical symptome which are induced by hypercytokinemia. The incidense of SIRS was more common in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (92%) compared with miled cases (22%). Prolongation of SIRS (more then 1w) and increase in positive SIRS-criteria (more than 3) exaggerated the mortality rate (35 and 39%, respectively).
Using rat pancreatitis model induced by cerulein injection, the mechanism of lung injury was analyzed. Bronchoalveolar macrophages were primed following the induction of pancreatitis. The macrophages enhanced the production of cytokineinduced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC), a chemokine for neutrophils, after lipopolysaccharide exposure. Enhanced expression of CINC may modulate the pathogenesis of pancreatitis-associated lung injury complicated with sepsis. These results suggest that systemic cytokine reactions may be associated with the severity of acute pancreatitis.
