Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) often results in multiple-organ dysfunction syndrome with high mortality. There is no effective clinical therapy for SAP, yet daphnetin, a coumarin extracted from Dracaena marginata, has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, and has been used clinically in several diseases. The objective of this study was to investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of daphnetin in a rat SAP model. Male Wistar rats were pretreated with daphnetin via intraperitoneal injection, 30[Formula: see text]min before retrograde infusion of 5% sodium taurocholate into the biliopancreatic duct. Twelve hours after sodium taurocholate administration, rats were sacrificed and tissues and blood were harvested. Then, histological, chemical, and molecular analyses were performed. Daphnetin treatment reduced the levels of serum alanine transaminase and creatinine (CR), increased superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity, and decreased neutrophil infiltration and cell apoptosis of the pancreatic tissues in rat SAP. Daphnetin treatment significantly decreased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increased expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines in rat SAP. Molecular analyses revealed that daphnetin reduced TLR4 expression and inhibited NF-[Formula: see text]B signaling pathway activation. These findings demonstrate that daphnetin attenuates acute pancreatic injury by regulating the TLR4/NF-[Formula: see text]B signaling pathway and inflammation in rat SAP model. Daphnetin may be a potential therapeutic agent for SAP.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an acute inflammation of the pancreas, usually occurs suddenly with a variety of clinical symptoms, complications of multiple organ failure and high mortality rates. Objectives: To determine the value of combination of HAP score and BISAP score in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis of the Atlanta 2012 Classification. Patients and Methods: 75 patients of acute pancreatitis hospitalized at Hue Central Hospital between March 2017 and July 2018; HAP and BISHAP score is calculated within the first 24 hours. The severity of AP was classified by the revised Atlanta criteria 2012. Results: When combining the HAP and BISAP scores in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis, the area under the ROC curve was 0,923 with sensitivity value was 66.7%, specificity value was 97.1%; positive predictive value was 66.7%, negative predictive value was 97.1%. Conclusion: The combination of HAP and BISAP scores increased the sensitivity, predictive value, and prognostic value in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis of the revised Atlanta 2012 classification in compare to each single scores. Key words: HAPscore, BiSAP score, acute pancreatitis, predicting severity
