摘　　要：Aim： To evaluate the protective effect of oral raloxifene on acute lung injury. Methods： Thirty adult, male Sprague-Dawley rats each weighing 180-210 g were used and divided into 3 groups： the raloxifene-lipopolysaccharide （LPS）-HCI group （n=10）, the LPS-raloxifene-HCl group （n=10）, and the placebo group （n=10）. All the rats were injected intraperitoneally （ip） with 5 mg/kg LPS, and raloxifene （30 mg/kg） was orally administered 1 h before and 14 h after LPS injection into the raloxifene-LPS-HCl and the LPS-raloxifene-HCl groups, respectively; the placebo group received nothing. Sixteen hours after LPS injection, all the animals were anesthetized and the femoral artery was cannulated. All the rats received a direct intratracheal （IT） injection ofHCl （pH 1.2; 0.5 mL/kg）. The mean arterial pressure （MAP） and blood gas concentrations were measured. Fifteen rats （5 in each group, respectively） underwent a micro positron emission tomography （microPET） scan of the thorax 4 h after HCI instillation. The wet/dry （W/D） weight ratio determination and histopathological examination were also performed. Results： The rats in the LPS-raloxifene-HCl group had a lower [^18F]fluorodeoxyglucose uptake compared with the rats in the placebo group （4.67±1.33 vs 9.01±1.58, respectively, P〈0.01）. The rats in the LPS-raloxifene-HCl group also had a lower histological lung injury score （8.20± 1.23 vs 12.6±0.97, respectively, P〈0.01） and W/D weight ratio （5.335±0.198 vs 5.886±0.257, respectively, P〈0.01） compared to the placebo group. The rats in this group also showed better pulmonary gas exchange and more stable mean arterial pressure （MAP） compared to the placebo group. Conclusion： Raloxifene provides a significant protective effect on acute lung injury in rats induced first by LPS ip injection and then by HCI IT instillation.Aim： To evaluate the protective effect of oral raloxifene on acute lung injury.
