Core Tip
Core Tip: This is the first study to verify the effects of Yue-Bi-Tang (YBT) in regulating water metabolism and reducing tissue injury in rats with severe acute pancreatitis complicated with acute lung injury and acute kidney injury. We demonstrated the protective effect of YBT on lung and renal injury associated with severe acute pancreatitis from two aspects, alleviation of inflammatory injury and reduction of edema. Furthermore, the edematous elimination effect of YBT is achieved by regulating water metabolism via decreasing the expression of aquaporins.
