Background. Resveratrol (RSV), one of the SIRT1 agonists, has the ability of alleviating severe acute pancreatitis (SAP); however, the concrete protective mechanism remains unknown. It is noteworthy that microcirculation disturbance plays a vital role in SAP, and the SIRT1/FOX1 axis can regulate microcirculation. Therefore, this study is aimed at ascertaining what is the underlying mechanism of the protective effect of RSV on SAP, and whether it is associated with alleviating microcirculation disturbance by regulating the SIRT1/FOX1 axis. Method. The model of SAP was induced by retrograde injection of sodium taurodeoxycholate into the bile duct of the rats. The pancreatic wet/dry weight, ET/NO, and TXB2/6-keto-PGF1α ratios; microcirculatory function; and SIRT1 activity were examined. ELISA was used to examine the serum level of lipase, amylase, hemorheology, ET, NO, TXB2, and 6-keto-PGF1α and the content of SIRT1, VEGF, Ang I, and Ang II in the pancreas. RT-PCR was used to examine the mRNA level of VEGF, Ang I, and Ang II. Western blotting was used to detect SIRT1, FOXO1, and acetyl-FOXO1. Immunoprecipitation was used to examine the interaction of SIRT1 and FOXO1. Results. Resveratrol can significantly decrease the expression of lipase, amylase, acetyl-FOXO1, VEGF, Ang II, ET, NO, TXB2, and 6-keto-PGF1α and the ratio of wet/dry weight, ET/NO, and TXB2/6-keto-PGF1α by improving microcirculatory dysfunction and blood viscosity in SAP. Moreover, resveratrol can also promote the interaction of SIRT1 and FOXO1 and increase SIRT1 activity and the expression of SIRT1 and Ang I. The SIRT1 inhibitor, Sirtinol (EX527), obliviously reversed the effects of RSV on SAP. Conclusion. Resveratrol can protect rats against SAP, and its protective mechanism is associated with suppressing microcirculation disturbance through activating SIRT1-FOXO1 axis.

Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is inflammatory process of pancreas presenting with acute abdominal pain.The majority of patients have mild disease. Some patients develop local and systemic complications with increased morbidity and mortality. This study was undertaken to describe the clinical profile and outcomes in patients with acute pancreatitis.   Methods:  A cross-sectional hospital based study comprising of 62 consecutive patients with acute pancreatitis were enrolled between Jan 2019 to August 2020. Clinical profile at admission, complications and clinical outcomes including mortality were studied. Patients were classified into mild, moderately severe and severe acute pancreatitis based on revised Atlanta classification and modified CT severity index.  Data entry was done in Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences version 20. Results: The mean age of study subjects was 44±10.87 years with 43 (56%) males and 19 (44%) females (M:F=2.1:1). The commonest etiology of pancreatitis was alcohol (53.2%) followed by biliary pancreatitis (37.1%)  The most common presentation was abdominal pain (100%). The most common complication was pancreatic necrosis (21%) followed by acute kidney injury (19.4%) and pleural effusion (17.3%). Majority( 72.6%) was mild and 17.7% had severe acute pancreatitis. Mortality was seen in 6.5% patients. Mortality was observed in patients with persistent complications, organ failure, low serum calcium and high modified CT severity index.   Conclusions: Alcohol and gallstones were the two main etiologies of acute pancreatitis and were common in males, and in middle age groups. Majority presented with mild severity. Mortality was observed in some patients with severe acute pancreatitis.   Keywords: alcohol; biliary; CT severity index; mortality; outcome; pancreatitis
