Abstract:

Objective To observe the adjuvant therapeutic effect of salidroside on patients with moderately severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP) and explore its mechanism. Methods A total of 60 patients with MSAP were randomly divided into the routine group (30 cases) and the experimental group (30 cases) using the random number table method. A routine treatment method was given to patients in both groups, and patients in the experimental group were additionally treated with salidroside. Serum levels of cysteine-containing aspartate-specific proteases (Caspase)-1, Gasdermin D (GSDMD), absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2), interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before and 7 days after treatment in both groups. The acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ and pancreas-modified CT severity index (MCTSI) scores were evaluated. The time of abdominal pain-relieving and the hospital stay were also recorded in the two groups. Results Compared with 1 d before treatment, serum levels of Caspase-1, GSDMD, AIM2, IL-1β and IL-18 decreased 7 d after treatment in both groups, and serum levels of all above indexes were significantly lower in the experimental group than those in the routine group (P<0.01). Scores of APACHE Ⅱ and pancreas-MCTSI decreased in both groups on 7 d after treatment, and scores of two indexes were significantly lower 7 d after treatment in the experimental group than those in the routine group (P<0.01). The time of abdominal pain-relieving and the hospital stay were all shorter in the experimental group than those in the routine group (P<0.01). Conclusion Salidroside can play a good adjuvant therapeutic effect on patients with MSAP by inhibiting AIM2 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis.
