چکیده
OBJECTIVE To study the effects of short-term exposure to high oxygen concentrations (hyperoxia) on Wistar rat lungs. METHODS Animals were divided into three groups exposed to hyperoxia for 10', 30' and 90' (O10', O30', O90', respectively), together with a control group (exposed to room air). The animals were sacrificed 24 h after exposure. Bronchoalveolar lavage was performed, and the lungs were removed for histological and stereological analysis. RESULTS In the O10', O30', and O90' groups, respectively and in comparison with the controls, we observed an increase in the numbers of macrophages (2169.9 +/- 118.0, 1560.5 +/- 107.0, and 1467.6 +/- 39.0 vs. 781.3 +/- 78.3) and neutrophils (396.3 +/- 35.4, 338.4 +/- 17.3, and 388.7 +/- 11.7 vs. 61.6 +/- 4.2), concomitant with an increase in oxidative damage (143.0 +/- 7.8%, 180.4 +/- 5.6%, and 235.0 +/- 13.7 vs. 100.6 +/- 1.7%). The histological and stereological analyses revealed normal alveoli and alveolar septa in the controls (83.51 +/- 1.20% and 15 +/- 1.21%), in the O10' group (81.32 +/- 0.51% and 16.64 +/- 0.70%), and in the O30' group (78.75 +/- 0.54% and 17.73 +/- 0.26%). However, in the O90' group, inflammatory cell infiltration was observed in the alveoli and alveolar septa. Red blood cells extravasated from capillaries to the alveoli (59.06 +/- 1.22%), with evidence of congestion, hemorrhage, and septal edema (35.15 +/- 0.69%). CONCLUSION Hyperoxia for 90' caused injury of the lung parenchyma, resulting in oxidative damage and inflammatory cell infiltration.

Effects of normobaric hyperoxia pretreatment on ischemia-reperfusion injury in regional ischemia model of isolated rat heart
Abstract Introduction: Resent studies have been shown beneficial effects of hyperoxia pretreatment against ischemia-reperfusion injury in different organs. The aim of the present study was to investigate early and late effects of normobaric hyperoxia (≥95% O2) pretreatment on ischemia-reperfusion injuries in isolated rat hearts. Methods: Following 60 and 180 minutes of hyperoxia, rat hearts w...
متن کاملEffects of preconditioning with intermittent normobaric hyperoxia on TNFR1 and TNFR2 expression in the rat brain
Introduction: Recent studies have shown that intermittent normobaric hyperoxia (HO) protects the rat brain from ischemia reperfusion injury. However, the exact mechanism of this kind of protection in vivo is not known. In this study, the effect of HO on expression of TNFR1 and TNFR2 in a stroke model was investigated. Methods: In this experimental study, rats were divided into 4 groups: no...
متن کاملPulmonary expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and alveolar septation in a newborn rat model exposed to acute hypoxia and recovered under conditions of air or hyperoxia.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an endothelial cell growth factor expressed in normal lung tissue. The aim of the study was to investigate the expression of VEGF and its repercussions as regards alveolarization in the developing rat lung. We studied pulmonary VEGF expression at 0 and 14 days of life in Wistar rats. Rat pups were exposed to hypoxia for two hours during the first hou...
متن کاملStudy on the effect of neuroprotective prolonged and intermittent normobaric hyperoxia on serum level of TNF-α and glutamate transporters expression in rat brain
Introduction: Prolonged and intermittent oxygen pre-exposure is associated with protection against ischemic reperfusion (IR) injury. In the current study, attempts were made to investigate the relationship between exposure to prolonged and intermittent normobaric hyperoxia (NBHO) and expression of excitatory amino acids transporters (EAATs) and TNF-α level. Method: Rats were divided into fo...
متن کاملProtein nitration in rat lungs during hyperoxia exposure: a possible role of myeloperoxidase.
Several studies have suggested that exposure to hyperoxia causes lung injury through increased generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of hyperoxia exposure on protein nitration in lungs. Rats were exposed to hyperoxia (>95%) for 48, 60, and 72 h. Histopathological analysis showed a dramatic change in the severity of lung injury...
