Hyperoxia prevents carrageenan-induced enlargement of functional residual lung capacity in rats.

چکیده
Experimental pneumonia induced by intratracheal application of carrageenan or paraquat increases the functional residual lung capacity (FRC) in rats. The mechanism of this increase is not clear, but a decrease in PO(2) may be involved. To test this possibility, we attempted to eliminate the PO(2) decrease in carrageenan-treated rats by exposing them to hyperoxia. Animals of the first group were exposed to 7 days of hyperoxia (F(I)O(2) 0.78-0.84, group Car+O(2)) after intratracheal application of carrageenan (0.5 ml of 0.7 % carrageenan in saline), whereas animals of the second group were given the same dose of carrageenan but breathed air (group Car+A). The third group of rats was kept for seven days in hyperoxia (group O(2)) and the fourth group served as controls (C). The animals were then anesthetized and intubated and their ventilatory parameters and FRC were measured during air breathing. Carrageenan application induced a FRC increase (Car+A 2.0+/-0.2 ml, C 1.6+/-0.1 ml), which was not seen in carrageenan-treated rats exposed to hyperoxia (Car+O(2) 1.6+/-0.1 ml). Hyperoxia alone did not affect the value of FRC (O(2) 1.5+/-0.1 ml). These results support the hypothesis that a decrease in PO(2) plays an important role in the carrageenan-induced increase of FRC in rats.

Asiaticoside attenuates hyperoxia-induced lung injury in vitro andin vivo
Objective(s): Asiaticoside (AS) displays anti-inflammation, and anti-apoptosis effect, but the role of AS in hyperoxia-induced lung injury (HILI) treatment is undefined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of AS on HILI on premature rats and alveolar type II (AEC II) cells.Materials and Methods: Sprague-Dawley...
متن کاملHyperoxia attenuated nitrotyrosine concentration in the lung tissue of rats with experimental pneumonia.
Although nitrated proteins have been repeatedly used as markers of lung injury, little is known about their formation and metabolism under hyperoxia. We therefore measured 3-nitrotyrosine (3NTYR) concentrations in lung tissue and serum of rats with carrageenan-induced pneumonia exposed to hyperoxia. Twenty-nine Wistar male rats were assigned to one of 4 groups. Two experimental groups were trea...

Objective(s):Therapies with high levels of oxygen are commonly used in the management of critical care. However, prolonged exposure to hyperoxia can cause acute lung injury. Although oxidative stress and inflammation are purported to play an important role in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury, the exact mechanisms are still less known in the hyperoxic acute lung injury (HALI).

Introduction: A large body of evidence points to oxidative stress as prime candidate mediating the behavioral impairments and memory deficits in Alzheimer's disease (AD). It has been demonstrated that hyperoxia preconditioning activates complex endogenous neuroprotective mechanisms including an increase in capacity of antioxidant defence mechanisms. The aim of this study was to investigate the ...
