RESUMO
Fluid resuscitation is the first-line antishock treatment in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Currently, although mentions of complications related to aggressive fluid resuscitation are very frequent, a lack of proper handling of complications remains. One of the most important complications is intestinal barrier injury, including intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury following aggressive fluid resuscitation. Once injured, the intestinal barrier may serve as the source of additional diseases, including systemic inflammatory response syndrome and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, which aggravate SAP. This study focused on the underlying mechanisms of gut barrier dysfunction in rats induced by aggressive fluid resuscitation in SAP. This study further indicated the important role of necroptosis in intestinal barrier injury which could be relieved by using necroptosis-specific inhibitor Nec-1 before aggressive fluid resuscitation, thus reducing intestinal barrier damage. We also found pancreas damage after intestinal ischemia/reperfusion challenge and indicated the effects of high mobility group protein B1 in the vicious cycle between SAP and intestinal barrier damage.
