Figure 1

Intestinal ischemia reperfusion (IIR)-induced acute lung injury. (a) In comparison with control group, lung histology (haematoxylin and eosin, magnification 400×) shows a minor infiltration of leukocytes in the sham group. In the IIR group, a diffuse increase of interstitial cellularity, with both mononuclear cells and neutrophil infiltration, interstitial edema, and vascular congestion were observed. Slides shown are representatives of four animals from each group. (b) The severity of lung tissue injury in each group was quantitatively scored; *p < 0.05 versus control and sham groups.
