Article Abstract
Background: Burn-blast combined injury is a kind of injury caused by heat and blast at the same time. The lung injury after burn-blast combined injuries is of primary importance, and investigation of lung injury is needed in the clinical care of patients. Computed tomography (CT) is one of the standard tools used to observe the anatomical basis and pathophysiology of acute lung injury.
Methods: We applied a method of fast 3D (three-dimensional) reconstruction to calculate the density value of the lung injury by CT analysis. Blast-injury group (BL group), burn-injury group (B group), burn-blast combined injury group (BBL group), and sham control group (C group) were established. Each group had 16 rats. The three-dimensional images of the lung tissue were obtained at 6h, 24h, and 48h according to the CT value. The average density of the whole lung, left lung, and right lung were measured. The lung tissues were paraffin-embedded and HE stained. Smith scoring was performed according to the pathological findings.
Results: In the BBL group, the density of the lung tissue was higher than those of the BL group and B group (P<0.01). The lung tissue density values at 24h after injury were higher than those at 6h and 48h after injury (P<0.01). Pathological results confirmed the changes of density analysis of the lung tissue.
Conclusion: The results have indicated that density analysis through a CT scan can be used as a way to evaluate lung injury in a burn-blast injury.

Background: Organic chemicals have been known to cause allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis; however, the possibility that they do not cause irreversible pulmonary fibrosis has not been considered. Polyacrylic acid (PAA), an organic chemical, has caused irreversible progressive pulmonary fibrosis in exposed workers, indicating its potential to induce pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis. Although intratracheal instillation studies are commonly used for evaluating lung pathology, traditional methods face challenges with chemical substances, particularly nanoparticles, which tend to aggregate in suspension and prevent uniform pulmonary distribution.
