Objective: By comparing the pathological changes of rat pneumonia model induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
which was given through tracheal instillation
oropharyngeal inhalation
nasal instillation and aerosol inhalation method
we screened out the best method to induce acute pneumonia in rats and verified it with multi-index. Method: At 24 h after modeling
inflammation degree of lung tissue of rats in each group was observed.While aerosol inhalation group (LPS-1
LPS-2 and LPS-3) have been modeled 24
16
8 h
respectively;lung function of rats in these three groups tested by non-invasive airway mechanics system
the white blood cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was classified and counted by automatic hematology analyzer
the contents of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in BALF and lung tissue were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Furthermore
we observed the inflammation degree of lung tissue of rats in each group. Result: Compared with intratracheal instillation
oropharyngeal inhalation and nasal instillation
the degree of lung injury in rats from aerosol inhalation LPS group was consistent
the pathological changes were stable
and the differences in the group were small.At 8 h after modeling
the lung function of rats started to change
the contents of white blood cell count (WBC) began to increase in BALF
the contents of IL-6 and TNF-α in BALF and lung tissue began to increase.At 16 h
WBC increased significantly (P<0.05)
and the proportion of neutrophils began to increase obviously (P<0.01).At 24 h
WBC increased significantly (P<0.01)
and the proportion of lymphocytes began to increase obviously (P<0.05). Conclusion: The animal model established by aerosol inhalation of LPS
which not only has a wide range of inflammation
but also distributes uniformly
furthermore
this model is close to the development of clinical acute pneumonia.In a conclusion
the pneumonia model established by aerosol inhalation of LPS is beneficial for the screening of drugs on pneumonia.
