Endobronchial Perfluorocarbon Reduces Inflammatory Activity before and after Lung Transplantation in an Animal Experimental Model
Figure 5
Histological score (HIS) after the lung transplantation. Lung injury was characterized by perivascular edema, intra-alveolar hemorrhage, and interstitial and intra-alveolar leukocyte infiltration in the LTx group (a) compared with the LTx/PFC group (b). The HIS demonstrated significantly more lung injury in the Ltx group (*) (200x magnification).
