Abstract  Objective To establish Wistar rat models of acute radiation esophagitis, and observe the histopathological changes at different time points after modeling. Methods Wistar rats were locally irradiated with different doses of 6 MV X‐rays, and the rats were sacrificed on the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 14th days after irradiation. The full‐length esophagus tissue was taken for paraffin embedding, sectioning, and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining for pathological assessment. The pathological changes of the esophagus of the rats were observed at the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 14th days after 25 Gy and 30 Gy irradiation. The changes of daily dietary intake of rats in different irradiation groups within 1‐2 weeks after radiation exposure were observed. Results No rat died in two groups after being irradiated with 25 Gy and 30 Gy rays. All the rats in the 30 Gy group had esophagus injury. On the 7th day, the degree of injury was the most serious, with a pathological score of 5.00±0.75 and a food intake of 0 g. On the 14th day, the degree of injury was relieved, and the food intake was restored to the level before irradiation. Conclusions The Wistar rat model of acute radiation esophagitis can be established by a single dose of 6 MV X‐ray 30 Gy irradiation to the esophagus. The 7th day after irradiation is an ideal observation time for the acute injury phase, which is gradually alleviated after the 7th day. The time can be chosen from 7‐14 days after irradiation as the observation point for the healing repair phase.
