RESUMEN
The aim of this study is to explore the effects of fluoride on the innate immunity, intestinal mechanical barrier, and immune barrier of C57BL/6 mice, as well as to analyze the degree of structural and tissue damage, providing reference data for related research. Mice were randomly divided into four groups and then treated with 0 mg/L (control), 50 mg/L, 100 mg/L, 125 mg/L sodium fluoride solution, respectively, for 120 days. Histological technique, ELISA, MTT colorimetry methods were used to detect and analyze the effects of different concentrations of fluoride on the intestinal morphology, mechanical barrier and the immune functions and innate immunity of mice. The results showed that compared with the control group, the villi were injured in different degrees of the three fluoride groups, the number of goblet cells, the protein expression levels of connexin ZO-1, Claudin-1 and Occludin, the content of Diamine Oxidase (DAO), endotoxin (ET) and D-lactic acid (D-LA), the activity of natural killer cell (NK cells), the number and percentage of neutrophils and erythrocytes, the phagocytic rate of neutrophils, and the rate of C3bR rosette (which is formed by the adhesion of C3b receptors on the red blood cell membrane to complement sensitized yeast) and IC rosette (which is formed by the adhesion of C3b molecules in the immunecomplex adhered to the red blood cell membrane to non sensitized yeast) of red blood cells, the content of interlenkin 1 beta (IL-1ß) and interlenkin 8 (IL-8), the number and percentage of lymphocytes decreased with the increasing of fluoride concentration. In addition, the content of the Immunoglobulin A (sIgA) showed a trend of increase at first and then decrease in salivary gland and jejunum. It is concluded that excessive intake of fluoride for a long time has a certain damage effect on the intestinal tract, leading to an increase in the permeability of the intestinal tract, thereby destroying the mechanical and immune barrier function of the intestinal tract.

SUMMARY: Six Lonchura striata and six Copsychus saularis birds were selected in this study, morphological index of the small intestine was measured by quantitative biology and image analysis. The changes of goblet cells and Na+/K+ATPase were detected by AB-PAS staining and ELISA to inform the different mechanisms of the digestion and absorption of nutrients between the Lonchura striata and Copsychus saularis. The villus height, crypt depth and muscle thickness of each segment of small intestine of Lonchura striata were smaller than those of Copsychus saularis, and the difference of ileum muscle thickness was significant. In addition, the ileum villus height/crypt depth (VH/CD) value of Lonchura striata was significantly less than that of Copsychus saularis. The number of goblet cells in duodenum and jejunum of Lonchura striata and Copsychus saularis had no significant difference, but the number of goblet cells in ileum of Copsychus saularis was significantly larger than that of Lonchura striata. The vitality of Na+/K+-ATPase in different intestinal segments of the Lonchura striata and the Copsychus saularis was different. The vitality of Na+/K+-ATPase in the Lonchura striata was significantly higher than that of the Copsychus saularis. It can be concluded that the digestion and absorption capacity of Copsychus saularis and Lonchura striata are significantly different, and the reason may be due to their different diets and intestinal floras.
RESUMEN: En este estudio se seleccionaron seis aves Lonchura striata y seis Copsychus saularis, a las cuales se midió mediante biología cuantitativa y análisis de imágenes el índice morfológico del intestino delgado. Los cambios de las células caliciformes y Na+/K+ATPasa se detectaron mediante tinción AB- PAS y ELISA para informar los diferentes mecanismos de digestión y absorción de nutrientes entre Lonchura striata y Copsychus saularis. La altura de las vellosidades, la profundidad de las criptas y el grosor del músculo de cada segmento del intestino delgado de Lonchura striata fueron menores que los de Copsychus saularis, y se observó una diferencia significativa en el grosor de la músculatura del íleon. Además, el valor de la altura de la vellosidad del íleon/profundidad de la cripta (VH/CD) de Lonchura striata fue significativamente menor que el de Copsychus saularis. En el número de células caliciformes del duodeno y del yeyuno de Lonchura striata y Copsychus saularis no hubo una diferencia significativa, pero el número de células caliciformes en el íleon de Copsychus saularis fue significativamente mayor que el de Lonchura striata. Hubo diferencias en la vitalidad de Na+/K+-ATPasa en diferentes segmentos intestinales de Lonchura striata y Copsychus saularis. La vitalidad de Na+/K+-ATPasa en Lonchura striata fue significativamente mayor que la de Copsychus saularis. Se puede concluir que la capacidad de digestión y absorción de Copsychus saularis y Lonchura striata son significativamente diferentes, posiblemente debido a sus distintas dietas y floras intestinales.
