Heavy Ethanol Intoxication Increases Proinflammatory Cytokines and Aggravates Hemorrhagic Shock-Induced Organ Damage in Rats
Figure 7
Histopathologic changes in the liver, kidneys, and lung after hemorrhagic shock in rats. Histologic sections from the Vehicle group ((a), (b), (c)), Ethanol group ((d), (e), and (f)), HS group ((g), (h), and (i)), and Ethanol + HS group ((j), (k), and (l)), stained with hematoxylin and eosin (liver, kidneys, lungs: magnification ×200). Photomicrographs (a), (d), (g), and (j) are liver sections; (b), (e), (h), and (k) are kidney sections; (c), (f), (i), and (l) are lung sections. Histopathologic injury score in liver (m), kidney (n), and lung (o) after hemorrhagic shock in rats. * for the HS group compared with the Vehicle group. # for the Ethanol + HS group compared with the HS group.
