Protection effect of Emodin pretreatment on intestinal I-RI damage of intestinal mucosa in ratsa

Abstract Objective To tinvestigate the protective effect and mechanism of emodin pretreatment on intestinal mucosa of rats with intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods A total of 50 SD rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, emodin groups of low, medium and high dose, with 10 in each group. Ischemia-reperfusion injury (I-RI) mode was established by using noninvasive clamp on superior mesentericartery (SMA). Control group and model group were pretreated with 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution lavage 2 h before operation, emodin groups of low, medium and high dose were given emodin lavage with 20, 40, 60 mg/kg pretreatment, femoral venous blood before the lavage pretreatment (T0) and 1 h ischemia (T1), and inferior vena venous blood after 1 h of reperfusion (T2) were extracted from each group of rats for detection of serum level of intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), endotoxin, interleukin 6 (IL-6), and the content of diamine oxidase (DAO); After model establishment, the rats were sacrificed, intestine homogenate was prepared by using blind intestinal tissue to detect intestinal tissue myeloperoxidase (MPO), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels. And upper small intestine tissue was retrieved, followed by fixation and conventional HE staining to observe intestinal tissue morphology under light microscopy. Results In emodin groups of low, medium and high dose at T1 and T2, I-FABP, TNF-α, endotoxin, IL-6 and DAO level were significantly lower than that of model group ( P P P Conclusions Emodin pretreatment has certain protective effect on intestinal mucosa in ischemia reperfusion injury.
