Correlation between lung injury and human neutrophil lipocalin in rats with sepsis
Objective To explore the correlation between lung injury and human neutrophil lipocalin(HNL)in rats with sepsis.Methods 45 rats were randomly divided into a control group,a sham group,and a model group.The model group was to construct a rat sepsis lung injury model,the sham group was to free cecum laparotomy and then close abdomen without ligation and puncture,and the control group was with healthy rats.Serum interleukin(IL)-6,IL-1β,tumor necrosis factor-a(TNF-α),and HNL in each group of rats were detected with reagent kit.Oxygenation index was detected by blood gas analysis system.Lung wet/dry(W/D)ratio was calculated.Patho-logical morphology of lung tissue was observed by HE staining,and lung injury score was calculated.Results There were no significant differences in IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,HNL levels,oxygenation index,lung tissue wet/dry ratio,and lung injury score between the control group and the sham group at 12,24 and 36 hours(all P＞0.05).Compared with the sham group,IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,HNL levels,oxygenation index,lung tissue wet/dry ratio,and lung injury score in the model group increased at 12,24 and 36 hours,with significant differences(all P＜0.05).At 12,24 and 36 hours,lung tissue structure of rats was normal in the control group,with no edema ob-served;there were only a few inflammatory cells in the lung tissue of rats from the sham group;while in the model group,lung tissue structure of rats was severely injured,pulmonary alveoli collapsed,and inflammatory cells were severely infiltrated,but pathology improved with time.In rats with sepsis and lung injury,HNL was positively cor-related with IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,lung wet/dry ratio,and lung injury scores(all P＜0.05),while negatively corre-lated with oxygenation index(P＜0.05).Conclusion In rats with sepsis lung injury,HNL increases significantly,with severe inflammation and aggravation in lung tissue wet/dry ratio and lung injury,while oxygenation index de-creases.HNL level is positively correlated with IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α levels,lung tissue wet/dry ratio and lung inju-ry,but negatively correlates with oxygenation index.
