Abstract

To explore the immunological mechanisms underlying the effect of chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (CIHH) pretreatment on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in rat. Fifty-four adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were used in the experiment. Arthritis in CIA rats (n=18) was induced by injection of collagen. The CIHH+CIA rats (n=18) were treated with CIHH (simulated 3000 m altitude, 5 hours per day for 28 days, PO2=108.8 mmHg) before CIA. The control rats (n=18) were not given any treatment. (1) Incidence rate of CIA in CIHH+CIA rats was significantly lower than that in CIA rats (P<0.05). (2) The paw thickness and arthritis index (AI) value in CIHH+CIA rats were lower than those in CIA rats (P<0.05). (3) The hyperplasia with inflammatory infiltration in synovial tissue of joints in CIHH+CIA rats was much alleviative compared with CIA rats. (4) TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-17 in synovial tissue of joint and serum in CIHH+CIA rats were decreased compared with CIA rats (P<0.05). (5) The number of CD4-positive T-lymphocytes and the ratio of CD4/CD8 T-lymphocytes in peripheral blood in CIHH+CIA rats were lower than those in CIA rats (P<0.05). (6) The protein expression of HIF-1α and NF-κB in synovial tissue of joint in CIHH+CIA rats was decreased compared with CIA rats (P<0.05). CIHH pretreatment has a protective effect against collagen-induced arthritis in rat through down-regulation of HIF-1α and NF-κB, inhibition of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-17, and balance in CD4/CD8 and Th1/Th2 T lymphocytes.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 April 2015.
All research outputs
#22,759,452
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Inflammation
#393
of 425 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#239,267
of 277,730 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Inflammation
#12
of 19 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 425 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.9. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 277,730 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 19 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
