Peripheral Leukocytapheresis Attenuates Acute Lung Injury Induced by Lipopolysaccharide In Vivo

Figure 5

The correlation between oxygenation indices and the average levels of the PMN count in periphery and NE in serum. We calculated the mean levels of PMN in the peripheral blood at indicated time period and showed the correlation between the mean levels of PMN in the periphery and the oxygenation indices (PaO₂/FiO₂) at 36 h (𝑟=−0.557, 𝑃=0.005) (a). The correlation between the mean levels of NE in serum and the oxygenation indices at 36 h were examined (𝑟=−0.575, 𝑃=0.003) (b).
