Role of Kupffer cells in acute hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis-associated lung injury of rats

Figure 1 NF-κB activity of alveolar macrophages in BALF of all groups. ^bP<0.01 vs AHNP group, ^dP<0.01 vs sham operation group.

Figure 2 Histopathological changes in different groups. A: Extensive necrosis, intense edema and inflammatory infiltrate in AHNP group (100×); B: extensive necrosis and intense edema in GdCl₃ pretreatment group (100×); C: diffuse alveolar blood stasis and heavy infiltration of inflammatory cells (100×) in AHNP group; D: mild edema of the alveolar walls and mild alveolar blood stasis with slight infiltration of neutrophils in GdCl₃ pretreatment group (100×).
