Abstract: BACKGROUND & AIM: To study the antioxidation effcts of Vitamin E or/and lipioc acid on mice injuries caused by phosgene. MATERIAL AND METHODS:50 mice with acute injury induced by phosgene were randomly divided into 5 groups of control, poisoning,Vitamin E,lipioc acid,Vitamin E adding lipioc acid.The WBC and PLT were analyzed with auto-analysis meter,and MDA of liver and lung was determined with fluorometry. RESULTS: The dose of 6 mg/kg Vitamin E or/and 0.8 mg/kg lipioc acid could increase the amounts of WBC and PLT in peripheral blood(P<0.05)and inhibit MDA level of liver and lung. The group Vitamin E showed best inhibition on MDA (P<0.05).The group of Vitamin E plus lipioc acid did not show significant cooperative effect;on the contrary they came forth antagonistic effect. CONCLUSION: The antioxidation effect of Vitamin E is better than lipioc acid on mice injuries caused by phosgene. Among three groups,the group of Vitamin E plus lipioc acid has certain antagonism in inhibiting the level of MDA.

Key words: phosgene, vitamin E, lipioc acid, antioxidation
