Abstract

Objective To explore the immunological mechanisms underlying the effect of chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (CIHH) pretreatment on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in rat. Methods 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. Results (1) Incidence rate of CIA in CIHH+CIA rats was significantly lower than that in CIA rats (P
