Abstract:
Twenty-five mongrel dogs were randomized into 3 groups;the animals of group Ⅰ were traumatized with bone marrow extract,those of group Ⅱ were similarily traumatized and then treated with anisodamine,and those of group Ⅲ received saline only and served as control.The specimens of arterial and venous blood were collected and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung homogenate were obtained after the animal was killed.The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the concentration of lipid peroxides (LPO) were determined.Meanwhile,the clinical manifestations,blood gas analysis.chest radiography,and pathological examinations were performed or observed.It was found there were following findings:(1)In group I,SOD activity and LPO level in the lung homogenate and BALF were markedly elevated immediately after injury,which suggests that there had been a rapid production of active oxygen.As a result.various degrees of lung damages were pricipitated.(2)In group Ⅱ,an increase of SOD activity and LPO level in the blood,lung homogenate and BALF:The elevation was more marked than that in group Ⅲ but less marked than that in group Ⅰ.which indicates that there was a relatively of less amount of active oxygen production by the interference anisodamine.(3)In group Ⅱ,no significant changes of SOD activity and LPO livel were found.Our findings suggest that active oxygen is likely to play a very important role in the pathogenesis of acute lung damages in respiratory distress syndrome.
