Objective To study the effects of fraction of inspired oxygen on nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) of lung tissue in rabbit one-lung ventilation(OLV) models.Methods 12 white Japanese rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups(n=6).Bronchial intubation was performed with artificial double-lumen tube,and right OLV was conducted for 2 h and then tollowed tow-lung ventilation(TLV) for 1 h.Fraction of inspired oxygen was set as 1.0(group A) or 0.6(group B).NF-κB in lung tissue was detected,and arterial blood gases were analyzed before OLV,at 30 min of OLV and 30 min after TLV reversion.Pathology of lung tissue was examined and wet/dry(W/D) of lung weight was measured.Results After TLV restore,the oxygenation index was higher and lower than 300 in group B and group A,respectively.The W/D,the activation and the level of NF-κB in left lung tissue was less in group B than in group A (P<0.01),and pathological change in left lung tissue was lighter in group B than in group A.Conclusion OLV with 60% oxygen may attenuate lung injury by decreasing the activation and the level of NF-κB in lung tissue.
