The effects of perfluorocarbon (PFC) on paraquat (PQ) induced acute lung injury (ALI) was evaluated among rats. Twenty four Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: control group injected by saline physiologic 0.9%, PFC group injected by Perfluorocarbon, PQ group injected by PQ and PQ+PFC group injected by PFC one hour after receiving paraquat. Bronchoalveular fluid content, inflammatory cytokines, oxidative and histopathologic changes were measured after 72 h. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) in the PQ group were increased compared to either control or PFC groups, but their levels decreased in PQ+PFC group significantly (p<0.05). Also, histopathologic evaluation revealed an increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydroxyproline (HP) in the PQ group but a decrease in PQ+PFC group significantly (p<0.01). PFC emulsion by its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and anti-fibrotic properties can reduce the inflammatory and fibrotic alterations, pulmonary oedema, and pulmonary histopathologic changes created by PQ.
研究了全氟碳化合物(PFC)对百草枯(PQ)诱导的急性肺损伤(ALI)的影响。将 24 只 Wistar 大鼠分为 4 组:生理盐水生理 0.9%对照组、PFC 组、PQ 组和 PQ+PFC 组。在接受百草枯后 1 小时,测量支气管肺泡灌洗液含量、炎症细胞因子、氧化和组织病理学变化。与对照组或 PFC 组相比,PQ 组的白细胞介素 6(IL-6)、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)和转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1)水平升高,但 PQ+PFC 组显著降低(p<0.05)。此外,组织病理学评估显示 PQ 组丙二醛(MDA)和羟脯氨酸(HP)增加,但 PQ+PFC 组显著降低(p<0.01)。PFC 乳剂通过其抗炎、抗氧化和抗纤维化特性,可减轻 PQ 引起的炎症和纤维化改变、肺水肿和肺组织病理学变化。
