Comparative study on the effect of different concentrations of moxa smoke on lung tissue of rats
Objective,2,To investigate the toxic effects of different concentrations of moxa smoke on rat lung tissues and to explore the potential molecular mechanisms.,Methods,2,Twenty SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group, low concentration group of moxa smoke, medium concentration group of moxa smoke and high concentration group of moxa smoke. Rats in the moxa smoke groups were respectively placed in the poisoning cabinet of low, medium and high concentration of moxa smoke for 1 hour per day for 8 weeks. The expressions of SOD, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 in the lung lavage fluid of different groups were compared. The pathological changes of lung tissue and the expressions of NF-κB, TLR2 and TLR4 proteins were detected.,Results,2,①The body weight of rats in the medium and low concentration groups of moxa smoke was significantly higher than that of the control group, while the body weight of rats in the high concentration group of moxa smoke was significantly lower than that of the control group (,P,<,0.001) . ②There were significantly inflammatory cell infiltration in the lung tissue of the medium and high concentration groups, and fibrosis occurred in the lung tissue of rats in the high concentration group. ③The expressions of inflammatory factors such as IL-6, TNF-α, NF-κB, TLR2 and TLR4 in the rat lung tissue of the medium and high concentrations groups of moxa smoke were significantly increased, while the expressions of SOD and IL-10 were decreased (,P,<,0.05) .,Conclusion,2,Low concentrations of moxa smoke do not significantly damage the body, and the lung damage induced by high concentrations of moxa smoke is mainly produced by promoting the expression of inflammatory factors.
