Inflammation response plays an important role in host survival, and it also leads to acute and chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, bowel diseases, allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis and various neurodegenerative diseases. During the course of inflammation, the ROS level increases. In addition to ROS, several inflammatory mediators produced at the site lead to numerous cell-mediated damages. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, is a chronic intestinal disorder resulting from a dysfunctional epithelial, innate and adaptive immune response to intestinal microorganisms. The methods involving indomethacin-induced enterocolitis in rats with macroscopic changes of IBD, myeloperoxidase assay, microscopic (histologic) characters and biochemical parameters are discussed.
炎症反应在宿主生存中起着重要作用,它还会引发急性和慢性炎症性疾病,如类风湿性关节炎、肠道疾病、过敏性鼻炎、哮喘、特应性皮炎以及各种神经退行性疾病。在炎症过程中,活性氧水平会升高。除了活性氧,炎症部位产生的几种炎症介质会导致大量细胞介导的损伤。炎症性肠病(IBD),包括溃疡性结肠炎和克罗恩病,是一种慢性肠道疾病,由对肠道微生物的上皮、固有和适应性免疫反应功能失调引起。本文讨论了在大鼠中使用吲哚美辛诱导肠炎并观察其具有IBD宏观变化、髓过氧化物酶测定、微观(组织学)特征和生化参数的方法。
