Acupoint Catgut Embedding Improves the Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Rats

ACE mitigates the LPS-induced lung damage and edema in rats. Four hours after LPS instillation, the lung tissues from individual rats were subjected to hematoxylin and eosin staining and the severity of lung injury was scored. Furthermore, the wet/dry lung tissue weights were measured. Data are representative images (magnification ×100) or expressed as the of each group () from two separate experiments: (a) the NS group; (b) the LPS group; (c) the LPS+ACE group; (d) quantitative analysis of lung injury scores; (e) the lung weight ratios. vs. the NS group, ^# vs. the LPS group.
