To evaluate the effect of intercellular adhesiveness molecule-1 (ICAM-1), E-selectin on hepatic microcirculation in acute cholangitis. The Changes of hepatic tissue, content of blood flow and Evan′s blue (EB) in hepatic tissue in acute cholangitis were determinated. Results: The number of PMN in hepatic tissue and sinusin increased, degenaration and necrosis of the hepatic cells and hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells and content of blood flow in liver were reduced, and content of EB in hepatic tissue increased remarkbly in the rats with acute cholangitis. Pretreatment of anti ICAM-1 and E-selectin mAb reduced the damage of hepatic microcirculation. Conclusion: ICAM-1 and E-selectin may play an important role in damage to hepatic microcirculation in acute cholangitis.
