MVs improve lung development and function in the IA-LPS BPD model. (a) Representative lung sections stained with H&E on PN14, μm. (b) Quantification of MLI (, ANOVA, ). (c) Quantification of RAC (, ANOVA, ). (d) Comparison of pups’ weight among four groups (, ANOVA). (e) Representative immunofluorescence images of vWF staining in the lung on PN14 in each group, μm. (f) Quantification of vWF-positive vessels (<100 μm) (, ANOVA, NS: not significant, ). (g) Lung resistance (LR) and (h) dynamic compliance (Cdyn) were determined from anesthetized and ventilated pups (, ANOVA, ). (i) to measure RVH (, ANOVA, ).
