ABSTRACT: Severe lung damage is a major cause of death in blast victims, but the mechanisms of pulmonary blast injury are not well understood. Therefore, it is important to study the injury mechanism of pulmonary blast injury. A model of lung injury induced by blast exposure was established by using a simulation blast device. The effectiveness and reproducibility of the device were investigated. Eighty mice were randomly divided into eight groups: control group and 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 7 days and 14 days post blast. The explosive device induced an explosion injury model of a single lung injury in mice. The success rate of the model was as high as 90%, and the degree of lung injury was basically the same under the same pressure. Under the same conditions, the thickness of the aluminum film can be from 0.8 mm to 1.6 mm, and the peak pressure could be from 95.85?±?15.61 PSI to 423.32?±?11.64 PSI. There is no statistical difference in intragroup comparison. A follow-up lung injury experiment using an aluminum film thickness of 1.4 mm showed a pressure of 337.46?±?18.30 PSI induced a mortality rate of approximately 23.2%. Compared with the control group (372?±?23 times/min, 85.9?±?9.4 mmHg, 4.34?±?0.09), blast exposed mice had decreased heart rate (283?±?21 times/min) and blood pressure (73.6?±?3.6 mmHg), and increased lung wet/dry weight ratio(2.67?±?0.11), marked edematous lung tissue, ruptured blood vessels, infiltrating inflammatory cells, increased NF-?B (4.13?±?0.01), TNF-? (4.13?±?0.01), IL-1? (2.43?±?0.01) and IL-6 (4.65?±?0.01) mRNA and protein, decreased IL-10(0.18?±?0.02) mRNA and protein ( P?
