From: Attenuation of acute lung injury in a rat model by Semen Cassiae
Morphologic alterations of the lung were determined by photomicrography. a1) Photomicrograph of a pulmonary section from a rat of control group. a2) Photomicrograph of a pulmonary section from a rat of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) + Vehicle group. a3) Photomicrograph of a pulmonary section from a rat of LPS + Semen Cassiae group. Magnification: ×400. Alterations of lung injury scores (b), or the ratio of the lung wet to dry weight (W/D) (c) in control or LPS challenged rats treated with vehicle or Semen Cassiae. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM and compared by one-way analysis of variance and the Student-Newman-Keuls method. We performed histopathological scores by using Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance on ranks and the Student-Newman-Keuls method. * P < 0.05 when compared with control group; † P < 0.05 when compared with LPS + Vehicle group
