Inflammatory mediators and leakage of albumin in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid by day 5 after ARDS induction. (a) Flow cytometric analysis of numbers of Ly6G+ cells in BAL, versus other groups with different symbols (†, ‡, §, ¶), . (b) Flow cytometric analysis of numbers of CD14+ cells in BAL, versus other groups with different symbols (†, ‡, §, ¶), . (c) Flow cytometric analysis of numbers of CD68+ cells in BAL, versus other groups with different symbols (†, ‡, §, ¶), . (d) Flow cytometric analysis of numbers of CD11^b/c+ cells in BAL, versus other groups with different symbols (†, ‡, §, ¶), . (e) Protein expression of albumin level in BAL, versus other groups with different symbols (†, ‡, §, ¶), . All statistical analyses were performed by one-way ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni multiple comparison post hoc test ( for each group). Symbols (, †, ‡, §, ¶) indicate significance (at 0.05 level). SC = sham control; ARDS = acute respiratory distress syndrome; Mito = mitochondria; SW = shock wave.
