Abstract
The effects of an acute inhalation of tricloroethylene (TCE) on the rat respiratory tract have been investigated. In a previous work on mice, the observed damage proved to be limited to Clara cells (CC) and dose-dependent. Injury was correlated with the metabolic properties of CC, where TCE is converted to toxic intermediate metabolites. Since rat CC are located in the distal bronchial tree, a damage at this level is supposed to affect also the mechanical clearance of insoluble particles. Sprague-Dawley, female rats have been exposed for 30min, to a co 30min, to a concentration of 3500 ppm TCE, to investigate the occurrence of an impairment of the mucous-ciliary/alveolar macrophagic (AM) removal system eventually correlated with epithelial damage, whose results are presented in a different pubblication. Nasopharyngeal and bronchopulmonary clearance patterns were obtained from the retention of a radio-labeled carnauba wax control aerosol (0.70 mim CMAD, Sg < 1.08), the rats inhaled 24 h after esposure to TCE. Sequential sacrifices, close together in time, were performed up to 24 h to detect the rapid clearance phase in all the different regions of the respiratory tract; from then on the retention was assessed by in vivo measuring the rats up to 600

The statistical comparison of the parameter was carried over by means of the bootstrapping method. Even if a major deposition in the bronchial region of the TCE test occurs, no significant differences have been detected between all the parameters describing the clearance both of the bronchoalveolar and nasopharyngeal regions; neither the fraction of sequestered particles in the upper respiratory tract nor the laden AM particles transferred by the mucociliary escalator were significantly different compared with the control test.}
