【Ab st ra ct】 Objective Most of t he evaluation on asthmatic mouse model only based on the airway inflammation , not fully reflecting its pathophysiology. Noninvasive method of measuring bronchial hyper responsiveness can detect several conscious mice in one time , but whether it can replace the invasive technique needs more data to be identified. This study aims to establish a non-invasive detection of mouse airway hyper responsiveness ,comparing with the invasive method. Methods According to different ways of detection , mice were divided into four groups : non-invasive asthma group , non-invasive control group ,invasive asthma group and invasive control group . Mouse was sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin ( OVA) for asthmatic model . The mice were challenged with increasing concentrations of methacholine aero sol from 0 . 2 250 g/ L ,and the airway resistance was measured. Enhance pause ( Penh) or airway resistance ( RL ) was taken for each group . The dose of methacholine causing 100 % increase of respiratory resistance was defined as PC100 . The PC100 values were converted into Log2 ( 10 PC100 ) for statistical analysis. Bro nchoalveolar lavage cytology was performed to evaluate the airway inflammation. Results The PC100 of non-invasive asthma group was ≤6 . 25 g/ L , and the non-invasive control group’s ≥12 . 5 g/ L . I t s Lo g2 ( 10 PC100 ) value was significantly less than that of control group , ( 5 . 36 ± 0 . 84) vs ( 7 . 97 ± 0 . 82) ( P < 0 . 01) . The Penh value of non -invasive asthma group began significantly increasing when the concentration of Mch was 3 . 12 g/ L . The RL value of invasive asthma group was increasing at the beginning of 0 . 39 g/ L ( P < 0 . 05) . The coefficient rate of two groups was 0 . 96 ( P < 0 . 01 ) . The EOS ( %) of non-invasive asthma group or invasive asthma group was 54 . 00 ± 5 . 96 , 55 . 93 ± 5 . 92 respectively , significantly larger than that of control group ( 0 . 38 ±0 . 52 ,0 . 63 ± 0 . 74 , P < 0 . 01) . Conclusions This study shows that single-chambered barometric whole-body plethysmography as a non- invasive lung function test can success fully detect airway responsiveness in asthmatic mouse model .
