Dexmedetomidine Inhibits Inflammatory Reaction in Lung Tissues of Septic Rats by Suppressing TLR4/NF-κB Pathway

Figure 2

Microscopic findings of the lung tissues stained with hematoxylin and eosin. (a) Sham operation group. The lung tissues showed normal to minimal pulmonary inflammation. (b) CLP group. The lung tissues showed severe pulmonary inflammation. (c) Small dose (5 μg/kg) group. The lung tissues showed severe pulmonary inflammation. (d) Medium dose (10 μg/kg) group. The lung tissues showed moderate pulmonary inflammation. (e) Large dose (20 μg/kg) group. The lung tissues showed mild pulmonary inflammation. (magnification 200x).
