Change of alveolar liquid clearance capacity following acute lung injury induced by oleic acid / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the change of alveolar epithelial liquid clearance capacity in lung edema following acute lung injury induced by oleic acid.Methods Forty-eight Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups the control(C), injury(I), amiloride(A), ouabain(O),amiloride plus ouabain(AO), and terbutaline(T) groups. Acute lung injury was induced with intravenous oleic acid 0.25 mlkg -1. 24h after injury, 5% albumin solution (5 ml?kg -1) was delivered into both lungs via the trachea in C and I groups. In A, O, AO and T groups, amiloride (2?10 -3 mol/L),ouabain (5?10 -4 mol/L), amiloride (2?10 -3mol/L) and ouabain (5?10 -4 mol/L)mixture and terbutaline(10 -4 mol/L),added respectively to the albumine solution,at 5ml.kg -1 were administered intratracheally to both lungs separately. One hour later, the alveolar liquid clearance rate(ALC), total lung water content(TLW), extravascular lung water content(EVLW) and arterial blood gases were measured.Results As compared with those in C group, severe hypoxemia, hypercapnia and acidosis appeared, ALC was reduced by 49.2% ,TLW and EVLW markedly increased in I group(P
