Hemeoxygenase-1 induction protects against ischemia/repeffusion injury, oxidative stress, inflammation, transplant rejection, apoptosis, and other conditions. However, it is unknown if a combined hemin and ulinastatin pretreatment could result in protective effects for septic shock. In this study, we investigated the role of hemin pretreatment combined with ulinastatin on septic shock in rats. Methods Eighty healthy, male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups： group S, group H, group U and group HU. Groups S and U received 1 ml normal saline intraperitoneally, while groups H and HU both received 1 ml （100 mg/kg） hemin. Twenty-four hours later, 0.5 ml （10 mg/kg） E. coil lipopolysaccharide was injected intravenously to replicate the experimental model of septic shock. After an initial 25% decrease in the mean arterial pressure, corresponding to time point 0, groups HU and U received 0.5 ml 10 000 U/kg ulinastatin intravenously, and the others received 0.5 ml normal saline. Results The number of deaths in groups H and U was lower than that in the group S （P〈0.05）, and was higher than that in group HU （all P〈0.05） respectively. The mean arterial pressure （MAP） in the group S was significantly greater than that in group H （P〈0.05）, and was lower than that in group HU and group U （P〈0.05）. The plasma levels of alanine aminotransferase （ALT）, aspartate aminotransferase （AST）, creatinine （Cr） and blood urea nitrogen （BUN）, the malondial- dehyde （MDA） of liver, kidney and lung, and the lung Evans blue （EB） contents in groups H and U, were greater than that in group HU （all P〈0.05）, and were lower than that in group S （all P〈0.05）. In contrast, the plasma levels of CO in groups H and HU were higher than that in groups S and U （all P〈0.05）, and SOD of liver, kidney and lung in groups H and U were higher than that in group S, 展开更多
