Intratracheal instillation versus intratracheal inhalation: influence of cytokines on inflammatory response.
Our laboratory has developed a method of particle exposure whereby anesthetized rats intratracheally inhale, at a regulated breathing rate and pressure, an aerosolized test material. This method is capable of delivering considerable doses in a short time period and, unlike the commonly used method of intratracheal instillation, does so with an even particle distribution throughout the lung. Ear...
متن کاملInflammatory Response of Lung Derived Cells in Rat Pups Following Intratracheal Surfactant Instillation
Background: Neonatal respiratory-distress syndrome (nRDS) is a disease that affects the lung functions in premature infants who are born before their surfactant biosynthetic system has matured. Several surfactant-replacement therapies have been developed and are efficacious in treating the RDS. Objective: The study investigates the inflammatory response of the lung derived cells in rat pups wit...
متن کاملEffects of intratracheal instillation of TNF-alpha on surfactant metabolism.
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) has been shown to play an integral role in the pathogenesis of the acute respiratory distress syndrome. This disorder is characterized by a deficiency of alveolar surfactant, a surface-active material that is composed of key hydrophobic proteins and the major lipid disaturated phosphatidylcholine (DSPC). We investigated how TNF-alpha might alter DSPC cont...
متن کاملEvaluation of Pulmonary Toxicity of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Following Inhalation and Intratracheal Instillation
We conducted inhalation and intratracheal instillation studies of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles in order to examine their pulmonary toxicity. F344 rats were received intratracheal instillation at 0.2 or 1 mg of ZnO nanoparticles with a primary diameter of 35 nm that were well-dispersed in distilled water. Cell analysis and chemokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were analyzed at thre...
متن کاملBiopersistence of NiO and TiO2 Nanoparticles Following Intratracheal Instillation and Inhalation
The hazards of various types of nanoparticles with high functionality have not been fully assessed. We investigated the usefulness of biopersistence as a hazard indicator of nanoparticles by performing inhalation and intratracheal instillation studies and comparing the biopersistence of two nanoparticles with different toxicities: NiO and TiO₂ nanoparticles with high and low toxicity among nano...
