Effect of inhalable particulate matter from roadside dust on airway inflammation in rats
Objective:To study the effect of roadside dust inhalable particulate matter on airway inflammation in rats.Methods:Particles at roadside were collected
analyzed and PM10-treat model of rats were established.Lung tissue histopathology was observed.The counts of total leukocytes and neutrophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)
glutathion peroxidase(GSH-Px)
malondiadehyde(MDA)
cytokin-induced neutrophil chemotactics(CINC)in lung homogenate were measured.Results:The counts of total leukocytes
macrophages and neutrophils in PM10-treat group were increased significantly than those in control group(P<0.05).The pathological changes of roadside dust group indicated that it could cause airway injury.Conclusion:The mechanism of the airway inflammation by IP is complicated.The terminal way is inflammatory reaction by inflammatory cells and cell factors.
