Abstract:Objective To examine the effect of early fluid resuscitation at different speed on mesenteric lymph circulation and learn the mechanism of limited fluid resuscitation. Methods Forty-six SD rats were subjected to uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (UHS) by bleeding and tail amputation. The animals were assigned to sham group (n=10), UHS group (n=12), aggressive resuscitation group (n=12) and limited resuscitation group (n=12), according to random number table. Aggressive resuscitation and limited resuscitation groups were infused with Lactated Ringer’s solution at the speed of 5 ml·kg-1·min-1 and 1 ml·kg-1·min-1 respectively. Catheterization of the main mesenteric lymphatic duct allowed the collection of lymph fluid. Flow of mesenteric lymph fluid was recorded and levels of protein, endotoxin and TNF-α in plasma as well as lymph fluid were determined. Results At 60 minutes, the aggressive and limited resuscitation groups showed the lymph flow of (4.04±0.33) ml·kg-1·h-1 and (1.79±0.18) ml·kg-1·h-1 (P<0.01) and protein output of (80.5±10.2) mg·kg-1·h-1 and (43.1±9.6) mg·kg-1·h-1 (P<0.01). At 240 minutes, the aggressive and limited resuscitation groups showed endotoxin level of (1.36±0.41) EU/ml and (0.81±0.26) EU/ml in lymph fluid (P<0.01). At 120 minutes, the aggressive and limited resuscitation groups showed TNFα level of (3.86±0.23) ng/ml and (2.63±0.52) ng/ml in lymph fluid (P<0.01). Conclusion UHS may lead to disorder of mesenteric lymph circulation, as may be improved by the limited fluid resuscitation.
