Shock Wave Therapy Enhances Mitochondrial Delivery into Target Cells and Protects against Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Figure 7

DNA damage marker in lung parenchyma by day 5 after ARDS induction. (a to e) Immunofluorescent (IF) microscopic finding (400x) for identification of γ-H2AX+ cells (green color) in lung parenchyma. Red color indicated exogenous mitochondria. (f) Analytical result of number of γ-H2AX+ cells, versus other groups with different symbols (†, ‡, §, ¶), . The scale bars in the right lower corner represent 20 μm. Symbols (, †, ‡, §, ¶) indicate significance (at 0.05 level). SC = sham control; ARDS = acute respiratory distress syndrome; Mito = mitochondria; SW = shock wave.
