丙酮酸乙酯对脓毒症休克犬肠黏膜屏障功能的保护作用

目的探讨丙酮酸乙酯（EP）对脓毒症休克犬肠黏膜屏障功能的影响。方法健康雄性杂种犬20只，内毒素（LPS）静脉注射复制犬脓毒症休克模型，随机分为对照组（8只）和EP组（12只）。对照组只接受林格液复苏。EP组另外给予丙酮酸乙酯首剂0．05g／kg．然后按0．05g·kg^-1·h^-1持续泵入。脓毒症休克模型建立前及建立后0、8、12和24h取血测定血浆二胺氧化酶（DAO）活性和血浆D-乳酸含量，试验24h处死动物后取小肠标本，进行肠黏膜炎性损伤病理学评分。结果EP组犬的肠黏膜炎性损伤程度病理学评分为2．33±0．25，明显轻于模型组的3．39±0．38，两组比较，差异有统计学意义（P〈0．05）。两组实验犬在休克后血浆D-乳酸含量和DAO活性逐渐升高，对照组较EP组升高更为明显（P〈0．05）。结论EP能显著改善肠组织灌流及功能指标，减轻肠黏膜的病理损害，对脓毒症休克时小肠有保护作用。

Protective effect of ethyl pyruvate on barrier function of intestinal mucosa in dogs with septic shock

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of ethyl pyruvate on barrier function of intestinal mucosa in dogs with septic shock. METHODS: Twenty dogs with septic shock induced by lipopolysaccharides(LPS) were randomly divided into two groups. Dogs randomly received placebo (Ringer's solution, control group, n=8) or ethyl pyruvate in lactated Ringer's solution (0.05 g/kg loading dose over 10 mins, thereafter 0.05 g.kg(-1).h(-1) for 12 hours, EP treatment group, n=12). The diamine oxidase(DAO) activity and D-lactate content were detected at the 0, 8 th, 12 th and 24 th hour of septic shock. Animals were sacrificed at the 24 th hour after septic shock and the jejunal tissue was taken for histopathological examination. RESULTS: The levels of plasma DAO and D-lactate were significantly elevated in both groups after septic shock than those before septic shock. The changes in intestinal parameters of hemoperfusion and permeability in EP treatment group were significantly lowered than those in control group. Inflammation of small intestinal mucosa was more severe in control group than that in EP group, and the pathologic score was significantly lower in EP group(2.33+/-0.25) than that in control group(3.39+/-0.38)(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Ethyl pyruvate can lessen intestinal permeability and protect intestinal barrier function in dogs with septic shock.
