From: Aerosolised surfactant generated by a novel noninvasive apparatus reduced acute lung injury in rats
Inhalation of surfactant aerosol restored the phospholipid content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of rats with acute lung injury induced by oleic acid. (a) Phospholipids in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) separated by two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography. (b) Aerosolised surfactant restored phosphatidylcholine (PC) contents in BALF. Mean ± standard deviation from six animals per group. * P < 0.01 compared with the sham group. # P < 0.05 compared with the saline-aer group. PPS = porcine pulmonary surfactant.
