Comparison of Inflation and Ventilation with Hydrogen Sulfide during the Warm Ischemia Phase on Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in a Rat Model of Non-Heart-Beating Donor Lung Transplantation

Figure 3

Histological analyses of the lung tissues (original magnification, 10x). In the sham group (a), lung tissues showed normal structure, while many abnormalities were showed in the control group (b), including severe interstitial edema, much neutrophil infiltration, and hemorrhage. After H2S treatment, smaller changes in the grafts were observed, and compared with the FS group (c), few edema and less hemorrhage were found in the VS group (d). (e) lung injury score (). FS: H2S inflation; VS: H2S ventilation. vs. sham group; # vs. control group; vs. FS group.
