摘要: Aerosol retention was studied in hamsters 30, 60, and 90 days after the initiation of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis by a combination bleomycin (bleo), 0.16 U/100 g body weight given intratracheally, 02, 70% for 72 h. Groups bleo-02-treated control animals were exposed (awake) 25 min to 99mTc-labeled insoluble aerosol (activity median aerodynamic diameter, 0.45μm; geometric standard deviation, 1.3). Within 5 exposure, killed their lungs excised dried at total lung capacity, sliced into 1-mm sections. Slices dissected pieces, an evenness index (El) calculated each piece . With uniformity retention, all Els would be 1. The distribution had mean 1.0 SD 0.27; 0% ⩽0.20. Total diminished less uniform animals. At 30 days, increased 0.62, 6% 60 nonuniformity decreased but stil...
