Abstract:To evaluate the therapeutic effects of calcium carbonate nanoparticle. Methods Calcium carbonate nanoparticle with 40~80 nanometers was prepared by high gravity reaction precipitation. The severe level of lead-poisoning model (estimated blood lead concentration of 500 μg/L or above) was made in 4 weeks old rats through 14 days consecutively drinking lead acetate solution. The drug efficacy was estimated by the concentration of blood lead. Results After three weeks of drug administration, the average concentration of blood lead in calcium carbonate nanoparticle group was (117 ±7) μg/L, which was closed to the normal blood lead, and was lower than that of the untreated group (p < 0.05). The mean level of blood lead concentration of untreated group was (297 ±33) μg/L, which was a moderate lead poisoning level. Conclusions Calcium car-bonate nanoparticle with size from 40 to 80 nm displays high efficiency of lead-out effect and is better than natural lead removal.
