Leukocyte–endothelium adhesion. The frequency of arrest per unit length of THP-1 cells flown at a shear rate of 9.6/second on top of a confluent human umbilical vein endothelial cell layer after 24-h incubation with the sera of healthy donors, patients with acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE; n = 6), patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (All ARDS; n = 22), patients with ARDS but without septic shock (ARDS W/OSS; n = 7), and patients with both ARDS and SS (ARDS with SS; n = 15). Values are mean ± standard error of the mean. The number of tested cells was >200 per patient. *p < 0.05 ; **p < 0.0025 (Student’s t test)
