Abstract:
Objective To study the effects of positive acceleration adaptive training on the lesion index and PGE
2ingastric mucosa of rats.
Methods Forty male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: A, B, C, D and E, 8 rats in each group. group A was the control group without any treatment. group B was exposed to +5gz for 5 minutes per day over 5 consecutive days. group C was exposed to +10gz for 5 minutes per day over 5 consecutive days. group D was exposed to +4gz for 3 minutes per day over 5 consecutive days and +5gz for 5 minutes per day over another 5 consecutive days. group E was exposed to +4gz for 3 minutes per day over 5 consecutive days and +10gz for 5 minutes per day over another 5 consecutive days.Then the damages to thegastric mucosa were observed with naked eye and the lesion indexes (LI) were calculated.The PGE
2contents in thegastric mucosa were detected by ELISA.
Results On unaided visual observations, all groups developed mucosa damage except group A.The lesion index was significantly higher in group C than group B (5.625±1.767)
vs (1.750±0.707),
P< 0.05.After adaptive training, the lesion index was significantly lower in group D than group B (0.875±0.641)
vs (1.750±0.707),
P< 0.05, and it was significantly lower in group E than group C (2.250±1.035)
vs (5.625±1.767),
P< 0.05.The content of PGE
2was significantly lower in group C than group B (24.598±6.017) pg/ml
vs (60.468±9.697) pg/ml,
P< 0.05.After adaptive training, the content of PGE
2was significantly higher in group E than group C (46.165±13.996) pg/ml
vs (24.598±6.017) pg/ml,
P< 0.05.
Conclusion Low speed +Gz adaptive training can significantly reduce thegastric mucosal damage caused by high speed +Gz, and its mechanism is related to the increase of PGE
2.
