Popis: Abstract Background To compare the severity of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) after the right lung of SD rats received interstitial brachytherapy and stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT). Methods RILI rat model was established using interstitial brachytherapy and SBRT methods, respectively. CT scan was performed to analyze the lung volume and the CT value difference between the left and right lungs in rats. Then the lung tissues were analyzed through H&E staining, peripheral blood was extracted to detect the expression levels of serum inflammatory cytokines, pro-fibrotic cytokines, and fibrotic-inhibiting cytokines by ELISA. Results The difference between right and left lung CT values was significantly elevated in the SBRT group when compared with the control group and the interstitial brachytherapy group (P
