目的:研究阿托伐他汀对急性百草枯中毒大鼠肺损伤的保护作用及机制。方法:将40只SD大鼠随机分为正常对照组,单纯染毒组,阿托伐他汀治疗低、高剂量组。染毒组和治疗组百草枯80 mg/kg灌胃1次;治疗低、高剂量组分别给与阿托伐他汀20、40 mg/kg灌胃7 d。解剖动物,取肺组织行苏木精-伊红(HE)染色,检测超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-PX)水平。结果:HE染色结果:染毒组肺损伤较其它各组明显严重,治疗组肺损伤减轻。SOD、GSH-PX测定结果:染毒组与对照组相比明显降低(P〈0.05),各治疗组与染毒组相比均有明显升高(P〈0.05),治疗组间有统计学差异(P〈0.05)。结论:阿托伐他汀对鼠急性百草枯中毒肺有保护作用,可增加SOD、GSH-PX的活性。
Objective: To study the effects of atorvastatin in protect the lung injury induced by acute paraquat poisoning in rats.Methods: Forty SD rats were divided into four groups: control,paraquat poisoning model,treat with low dosage and high dosage atorvastatin group.Paraquat poisoning model group and the treatment groups were given paraquat 80 mg·kg-1 gavage for one time;The treatment groups were respectively given atorvastatin 20 mg·kg-1·d-1,40 mg·kg-1·d-1 gavage for 7 days.The animals were anesthetized and got the lung tissue,then observed the pathological changes by HE staining,and study the changes of SOD and GSH-PX.Results: The result of HE Staining: The lung injury of paraquat poisoning lung is obviously serious than other groups.Treatment groups reduce the lung injury.SOD,GSH-PX determination results: The level of SOD,GSH-PX were significantly lower in poisoning group than those in control group(P0.05).After seven days treatment,a significant increasing occurred in SOD,GSH-PX level with a dose-dependent manner(P0.05).Conclusion: Atorvastatin significantly attenuated lung injury induced by acute paraquat poisoning.Its mechanism might be related to the activity increase of SOD、GSH-PX.
