Protective Effect of Salidroside on Acute Lung Injury/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Rats / 中国药师

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of salidroside on acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) in rats. Methods:A total of 50 rats were randomly divided into five groupsthe normal control group,the model group, salidroside high,medium and low (8.0,4.0,2.0 mg·kg-1) dose groups with 10 ones in each. ALI/ARDS model was prepared by tail vein injection of oleic acid (0.1 ml·kg-1). The administration route was intraperitoneal injection, once daily for continuous 3 days. At 24 h after the model preparation was successful,1.0 ml blood samples were collected through carotid artery for the blood gas analysis. The lung wet/dry weight ratio,arterial oxygen partial pressure and HE staining lung tissue pathology were detected and the expression of HMGB1 and KRT-14 in the blood of rats was detected after the drug was administered for 3 days. Results:The expres-sion of HMGB1 and KRT-14 in each salidroside was lower than that in the model group,and the differences were statistically significant between the medium and high dose groups and the model group(P<0.05). The dose and efficacy of salidroside were positively corre-lated,and the differences were statistically significant between the medium and high dose groups and the low dose group(P<0.05). The oxygen partial pressure of each salidroside group was higher than that of the model group, and the lung wet/dry weight ratio was lower than that of the model group,and the difference was statistically significant between the medium and high dose groups and the model group(P<0.05). The dose and efficacy of salidroside were positively correlated,and the difference was statistically significant between the medium and high dose groups and the low dose group(P<0.05). Compared with the model group,the lung pathological changes of each salidroside group were improved. Conclusion:Salidroside can reduce the expression of inflammatory factors HMGB1 and KRT-14 in blood,reduce pulmonary edema and increase oxygen partial pressure in ALI/ARDS rats, which shows obvious thera-peutic effect on ALI/ARDS.
