Abstract:
OBJECTIVE Study the kidney toxic effects caused by burning coal endemic arsenism in rats,application bench mark dose (BMD) method to investigate the bench mark dose of urinary arsenic (UAs)and the changes in bio markers of renal function.METHODS Wistar rats were fed for 90 d with arsenic 0,25,50,100 mg·kg -1 conta minated feed.Urinary arsenic,kidney arsenic and renal function indicators were determined,and routine pathological and fibrosis of kidney were exa mined.UAs as the exposure bio marker,Uβ2-MG,UNAG and UALB for the effect bio markers,application bench mark dose method to calculate the BMD and BMDL of UAs for each effect bio markers.RESULTS UAs,KAs, Uβ2-MG,UNAG,UALB levels of rats in arsenic 100 mg·kg -1 group were increased than normal group (P <0.05);In light microscope,the results of HE staining of rat kidney in all arsenic dose groups showed infla mmatory cell infiltration,renal tubular epithelial cell swelling,renal interstitial capillary dila-tion,congestion and other varying degrees pathological changes,and the results of masson staining showed varying degrees of tubulointerstitial fibrosis;UAs as the exposure bio marker,Uβ2-MG,UNAG, UALB for the effects of mark,the BMD and BMDL of UAs for Uβ2-MG,UNAG,UALB were calculated, the BMD values were 998.9,1213.5,1386.9 μg·g -1 Cr,the BMDL values were 660.5,803.6 and 909. 4 μg·g -1 Cr,respectively.CONCLUSION Burning coal arsenic pollution can cause kidney da mage in rats,mini mal change nephropathy may be the pri mary pathological in the coal arsenic conta mination of kidney da mage.The BMD and BMDL of UAs were 998.9,660.5 μg·g -1 Cr,the early changes of renal function of burning coal arsenism in rats;it is reco mmended to use the more sensitive bio markers Uβ2-MG to calculate the biological exposure li mits on renal injury caused by arsenic.
