Abstract:
Objective To compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods.Methods Thirty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:normal control group,OVA group and OVA/RSV group.With ovalbumin and hydroxide suspension sensitized,OVA nouse asthma model group and OVA/RSV group were established respectively by continuous atomization of ovalbumin and repeated nasal drops of RSV.The control group was established by sensitization and atomization excitation of sterile injection water.24 hours after the last stimulation,the lung function was measured.The cell sorting and counting in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were performed.The pathological changes of lung tissue were observed by HE staining.Results Compared with the control group,the model groups have obvious symptoms of asthma,airway wall thickening,lumen stenosis and a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration.And pathological damage of lung tissue in OVA/RSV group was significantly increased,compared with OVA group.The enhanced expiratory pause (Penh)values of OVA/RSV group were significantly higher than those in group OVA (P ＜ 0.05),and the number of neutrophils,monocytes,lymphocytes and eosinophils in BALF were significantly higher than those in OVA group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The establishment of asthma mouse model by OVA sensitization and RSV induction is a better way to simulate the human asthma pathogenesis.
