Tissue injury, lung weight/dry and arterial blood gas analysis. a At the 18 h after ALI, the lung was harvest and histologic damage was assessed in H&E-stained sections. b The semi-quantitative analysis of tissue injury indicated that MP treatment significantly attenuated tissue injury in the lung. c The severity of pulmonary edema was assessed by the wet to dry ratio (W/D ratio). MP treatment significantly reduced the W/D compared to that in the LPS group at 6 and 18 h. d Arterial blood gas analysis showed MP treatment significantly improved acid–base disturbance, increased PaO2 and reduced PaCO2. Data were shown as mean ± S.D.; n = 5 mice per group
