title: [The mechanism of the effects of 654-2 and vitamin E on hyperoxic lung injury].
abstract: The changes of free radicals and the effect of anisodamine and vitamin E on hyperoxic lung injury were studied. Ninety adult Wistar rats were exposed to greater than 95% O2. Nine a normal rats served as controls. The animals in group A were only exposed to hyperoxia, while in group B and C, they were treated intramuscularly with anisodamine (15 mg/kg, bid) and vitamin E (75 mg/kg, bid) respectively. The rats in each group were killed after 12, 24 or 48 hours oxygen exposure. The blood and lung were examined for SOD, GSH-PX and MDA. In Group A, the quantity of peroxide free radical increased 20%. The activity of SOD and GSH-PX decreased and MDA increase were in lower degree. Changes of SOD, GSH-PX, MDA, PaO2 and lung damage were also in lower degree. The results indicated that the increase of oxygen free radicals may be the pathophysiological factor in hyperoxic lung injury.
