Protein expressions of inflammation in lung parenchyma by day 5 after ARDS induction. (a) Protein expression of matrix metalloproteinase- (MMP-) 9, versus other groups with different symbols (†, ‡, §, ¶), . (b) Protein expression of tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) α, versus other groups with different symbols (†, ‡, §, ¶), . (c) Protein expression of nuclear factor- (NF-) κB, versus other groups with different symbols (†, ‡, §, ¶), . (d) Protein expression of interleukin- (IL-) 1β, versus other groups with different symbols (†, ‡, §, ¶), . (e) Protein expression of intercellular adhesion molecule- (ICAM-) 1, versus other groups with different symbols (†, ‡, §, ¶), . All statistical analyses were performed by one-way ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni multiple comparison post hoc test. Symbols (, †, ‡, §, ¶) indicate significance (at 0.05 level). SC = sham control; ARDS = acute respiratory distress syndrome; Mito = mitochondria; SW = shock wave.
