ObjectiveTo explore the effects of urinastatin(UTI) on microcirculation of extrapancreatic organs in rats with acute necrotizing pancreatitis(ANP). Methods A total of 48 rats were randomized into control group, ANP group and UTI group. The model of ANP was established by uniform injection of 5% sodium taurocholate solution under pancreatic capsule, only injection of normal saline in control group. Then the rats of UTI group were injected with UTI through the femoral vein, the rats of ANP group and control group were injected with normal saline. The blood flow of lung, kidney and distal small intestine was measured by radioactive biomicrosphere technique at 2 h and 6 h after ANP.ResultsCompared with the control group, the blood flow of lung, kidney and intestine was decreased significantly in the ANP group at the 2 h and 6 h after ANP （P＜0.05）, compared with the ANP group, the blood flow was increased significantly in UTI group （P＜0.05）. ConclusionMicrocirculation disorder is an important factor of the extrapancreatic organ damage in ANP, and UTI plays a protective role against microcirculation disorder of the extrapancreatic organ in ANP.
