Methods: Forty-eight mice were equally randomized to 6 groups: (1) normal air group (NA); (2) hyperbaric air group 1 (HA1); (3) hyperbaric air group 2 (HA2); (4) hyperbaric air group 3 (HA3); (5) hyperbaric oxygen group (HO);(6) hyperbaric nitrogen group (HN). Every group was exposed to corresponding pressure for 60 min, twice a day for 3 d. Peritoneal macrophages were obtained at the corresponding time to observe the changes of phagocytosis, acid phos-phatase, antigen presentation function and the produce of NO and TNF-α. Results: Compared with those in NA group, the activity of phagocytosis, acid phosphatase, antigen presentation function and the produce of NO and TNF-a were markedly inhibited in hyperbaric oxygen group and hyperbaric air group 1 ( P < 0.05, P < 0.01) and they changed little in HN group. These changes could disappear in 3 - 5 d. Conclusion: The functions of mice peritoneal macrophages were obviously inhibited in simulated air diving environment and hyperoxia may play an important role in it.展开更多
