Aim: To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of oxygen nanobubbles (ONBs) in an acute lung injury rat model. Materials & methods: In a rat hydrochloric acid lung injury model, ONB fluid was administered intravenously in the ONB group (n = 6) and normal saline was administered in the control group (n = 6). 4 h later, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), mean arterial pressure and plasma inflammatory cytokines were measured. Results: There were no significant differences in the PaO2, mean arterial pressure or TNF-α and IL-6 levels between the two groups. Conclusions: No anti-inflammatory effect could be confirmed at the present ONB dose in the rat model of acute lung injury.

Objective. To monitor the anti-inflammatory effect of rosuvastatin in leukocyte endothelial interactions in the atheroprone femoral artery in vivo.Methods and Results. Male Apolipoprotein E null mice (ApoE−/− mice, 6 weeks old) were fed a high-fat diet (20% fat, 1.25% cholesterol) with or without the HMG CoA reductase inhibitor rosuvastatin (10 mg/kg/day) for 6 weeks. Significant leukocyte adhesion was observed in the femoral artery of ApoE−/− mice, but not of wild type mice, in the absence of rosuvastatin. Interestingly, no obvious plaque formation was observed in the artery at this time point. The number of adherent leukocytes was dramatically diminished in ApoE−/− mice treated with rosuvastatin. DHE-associated oxidative stress and the expression of gp91-phox, a component of NADPH oxidase, were induced in ApoE−/− mice and were abolished by rosuvastatin treatment.Conclusion. Our data documented leukocyte recruitment prior to lipid accumulation and subsequent inhibition by rosuvastatin. The underlying mechanism seemed to involve oxidative stress and an anti-inflammatory effect on the endothelium of atheroprone vessels.
