Abstract

To investigate the characteristics of renal oxygenation status in aristolochic acids I (AA-I) induced ATN rat model by method of blood oxygenation level-dependent MRI (BOLD-MRI) and compare it with ATN model caused by gentamicin. 28 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, AAN and GM groups, which were subcutaneously injected with normal saline, AA-I (25 mg x kg(-1)x d(-1)) or GM (200 mg x kg(-1)x d(-1)) respectively for 4 days. Intrarenal oxygenation was measured by BOLD-MRI at 4(th) day and 7(th) day. Renal histopathological changes and renal function were also observed at day 7. Serum level of creatinine and urinary NAG were obviously elevated at day 7 in AAN and gentamicin group. Diffuse tubular necrosis confined to the margin of renal cortex and medulla without edema or infiltration of inflammation cells was the main pathological finding in AAN group. BOLD-MRI revealed that renal medullar R2(*) was elevated significantly at both day 4 [(50.6 +/- 15.6)/s vs (35.6 +/- 4.3)/s, P < 0.01] and day 7 [(58.4 +/- 14.8)/s vs (37.8 +/- 3.6)/s, P < 0.01] in AAN group when compared to control, showing opposite changes to GM group whose R2(*) was decreased at the same time. In addition, the renal cortical R2(*) in AAN group ...Continue Reading
