Assessment of histological changes in lung tissue. (a) HE-stained lung histological sections and representative lung histological changes. (b) Assessment of lung injury scores. The degree of lung injury was assessed from six sections, which conclude atelectasis, alveolar and interstitial inflammation, alveolar and interstitial hemorrhage, alveolar and interstitial edema, necrosis, and overdistension. Vehicle: normal mice with PBS injection; ALI: LPS-induced ALI model; UCMSC: ALI mice with UCMSC transplantation; MBMSC: ALI mice with MBMSC transplantation; HE: hematoxylin and eosin. Scale bars 50 μm. , ; .
