Abstract:
OBJECTIVE In order to study the effect of inhalable particles on evocation of allergic rhinitis in rats and its possible mechanism. METHODS The experimental group rats were basically allergized with OVA from intraperitoneal injection. Three groups were provoked by OVA alone, PM10 plus OVA and PM10 alone through nasal cavity respectively. The Control Group was allergized by NS instead of OVA, while the method of provocation was the same as experimental group. Then, the rats were sacrificed 24 hours after the last provocation. The morphological changes of the rats' nasal mucosa were observed by scanning electron microscope and hematoxylin-eosin (HE). The number of the eosinophile of the rats' nasal mucosa was counted under HE staining. RESULTS The amount of eosinophile in the three experimental groups was significantly different from that in NS group, and there was also a significant difference among three experimental groups. The amount of eosinophile in PM10 plus OVA group was obviously higher than that in other groups. Observed by scanning electron microscope, the cilia of the epithelium of the three experimental groups were significantly reduced, fallen off, fallen down, got enlaced, and adhered by secretion. CONCLUSION In the period of provoking, the inhalable particles may play a synergic role with allergen, and it can aggregate the rats' nasal mucosa injury and the allergic inflammation.
