【摘要】Objective: To investigate the effect of paeonol on lipopolysaccheride(LPS)-induced

rat

mesenteric

microcirculatory

dysfunctions.Methods: Male Wistar rats were randomly distributed into 5 groups(n=6 in each): Sham group, LPS group, paeonol group, paeonol+LPS group, and LPS+paeonol group. Endotoximia model was conducted by continuous LPS infusion. Changes in mesenteric microcirculatory variables, including diameter of venule, velocity of red blood cells in venule, leukocyte adhesion, free radicals produced in venule and albumin leakage from venule, were observed through an inverted intravital microscope. Meanwhile, the expression of myeloperoxidase(MPO), CD18,intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1), toll-like receptor 4(TLR4), nuclear factor-kappa B p65 subunit(NF-κB p65), activator protein-1(AP-1), and Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK) was assessed by Western blot.Results: After infusion of LPS, the number of leukocytes adherent to venular wall, the intensity of dihydrorhodamine 123(DHR)fluorescence in the venular walls, and albumin leakage from
