Objective: To evaluate the effect of dipyridamole (DPM), adenosine (ADO) intervening to pulmonary interstitial fibrosis in mice.

Methods: 100 mice, which were injected bleomycin (BLM, 8.5 mg/Kg) by bronchus, were divided into control group, treated groups by DPM, ADO, DPM and TH. Pulmonary pathologic observations were made by light and electron microscope separately from 4 to 30 days.

Results: Alveoli epithelial cell appeared necrosis, lung tissue hypoxia and interstitial fibrosis were found in the group of BLM after 10 day. The necrotic alveolar epithelial cells and fibroblasts were fewer, lung tissue hypoxia milder, the number and phagocytic function of macrophage increased in the groups of DPM and ADO. In the group of TH, necrotic alveolar epithelial cell increased, the lung tissue was ischemia, the developing process from monocyte to macrophage in pulmonary interstitial was slower.

Conclusion: DPM and ADO can improve microcirculation, promote macrophage development, reconstruct alveolar spaces and inhibite fibroblast hyperplasia
