    Background/aims: One of the most important complications of acute pancreatitis is the secondary bacterial infections of the pancreas and gut. Translocation of bacteria from the gut is accepted as being responsible for the development of septic complications in acute pancreatitis. In this study, our aim was to investigate the effect of PARP inhibition via 3-aminobenzamide on the bacterial translocation in acute pancreatitis. Methods: 45 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into three groups. Group I (Sham+saline) received normal saline infusion into the common biliopancreatic duct. Acute pancreatitis was induced in Group II (acute pancreatitis+saline) and Group III (acute pancreatitis+3-aminobenzamide) by the retrograde injection of taurocholate into the common biliopancreatic duct. Six hours after induction of pancreatitis, the rats in Group I and II were treated with saline (1 ml, every 12 hours), while the rats in Group III were treated with 3-aminobenzamide (10 mg/kg/day every 12 hours), intraperitoneally. In the 54(th) hour of the study, blood and tissue samples were taken for biochemical, microbiological and histopathological analysis. Results: Acute pancreatitis developed in Groups II and III. Pathologic score [median (25-75% percentiles). of the pancreatitis in Group III [8 (7-9)] was significantly lower than in Group II [19 (18-21)] (p0.05). Improvement in bacterial translocation was correlated with reducing oxidative stress. Conclusions: We demonstrated that 3-aminobenzamide therapy improved histopathologic score and oxidative stress in experimental pancreatitis. In addition, it was demonstrated microbiologically and histopathologically that 3-aminobenzamide therapy improves bacterial translocation. Further survival studies demonstrating the efficacy of 3-aminobenzamide therapy and explaining the potential mechanisms of bacterial translocation prevention in acute necrotizing pancreatitis will be beneficial

    AIM: To investigate the individual and combined effects of allopurinol and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on biochemical and histopathological changes, oxidative stress, and bacterial translocation (BT) in the experimental rat acute pancreatitis (AP). METHODS: Eighty-five Sprague-Dawley rats were included in the study. Fifteen of the eighty-five rats were used as controls (sham, GroupI). AP was induced via intraductal taurocholate infusion in the remaining seventy rats. Rats that survived to induction of acute necrotizing pancreatitis were randomized into four groups. Group II received saline, Group III allopurinol, Group IV allopurinol plus HBO and Group V HBO alone. Serum amylase levels, oxidative stress parameters, BT and histopathologic scores were determined. RESULTS: Serum amylase levels were lower in Groups III, IV and V compared to Group II (974 ± 110, 384 ± 40, 851 ± 56, and 1664 ± 234 U/L, respectively, P < 0.05, for all). Combining the two treatment options revealed significantly lower median [25-75 percentiles] histopathological scores when compared to individual administrations (13 [12.5-15] in allopurinol group, 9.5 [7-11.75] in HBO group, and 6 [4.5-7.5] in combined group, P < 0.01). Oxidative stress markers were significantly better in all treatment groups compared to the controls. Bacterial translocation into the pancreas and mesenteric lymph nodes was lower in Groups III, IV and V compared to Group II (54%, 23%, 50% vs 100% for translocation to pancreas, and 62%, 46%, 58% vs 100% for translocation to mesenteric lymph nodes, respectively, P < 0.05 for all). CONCLUSION: The present study confirms the benefit of HBO and allopurinol treatment when administered separately in experimental rat AP. Combination of these treatment options appears to prevent progression of pancreatic injury parameters more effectively

All rights reserved.Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) plus 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB) cotreatment on tissue oxidative stress parameters (TOSp), tissue histopathology scores (THSc), and bacterial translocations (Bact-Trans) in an experimental model of severe acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods: Seventy-five Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 5 groups. Group 1 received sham. Severe AP was induced by intraductal taurocholate infusion and then group 2 received saline, group 3 received 3-AB, group 4 received 3-AB plus HBO, and group 5 received HBO. 3-Aminobenzamide (10 mg/kg per day, once daily, intraperitoneal) and saline (1 mL/kg) were started right after the induction, whereas HBO (2,8 atm pressure, BID, 90 minutes each) was started at the sixth hour. The rats were euthanized at the 54th hour, and TOSp, THSc, and Bact-Trans were studied.Results: In treatment groups 3 and 5, Bact-Trans (P < 0.05, P < 0.05), TOSp (P < 0.05, P < 0.05), and THSc (P < 0.001, P < 0.001) were significantly lower than controls. In addition to these findings, group 4 (cotreatment) showed the most significant effect on Bact-Trans and THSc (P < 0.001, P < 0.001) and also better in TOSp (P < 0.02).Conclusions: Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibition by 3-AB and HBO treatment alone was effective in the course of severe AP, and favorable with cotreatment because of the improved cascades of inflammatory process by different aspects
