Abstract: A model of lung injury following acute necrotizing pancreatitis in rats was produced by inje cting sodium taurocholate under the pancreatic coating. The changes of TXB2/6-keto-PGF in plasma was observed by radioimmunoassay. The effects of nicotinic acid on lung injury following acute necrotizing pancreatitis was studied. The results showed that TXB2,TXB2/6-keto-PGF and lung index of acute necrotizing pancreatitis in rats were elevated progressively. Nicotinic acid caused a marked decrease in both the level of TXB2, ratio of TXB2/6-keto-PGF and the lung index. The data indicated that the changes of TXB2,6-keto-PGF balance may be one of methanisms responsible for plumonary injury caused by acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Necotinic acid may has a therapeutic effect on acute necrotizing pancreatitis associated lung injury.
