Figure 1

LPS-induced ARDS in a rat model. The macroscopic changes in lung seventy-two hours after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) nebulization (B) and in control animals are displayed (A). The lungs of animals receiving LPS were infiltrated in large or disseminated in small areas, to some extent livid discolorations and hemorrhages were visible. Lung tissue damage could also be determined immunhistochemically. While the control group (C) showed intact lung tissue, LPS led to thickening of the alveolar wall (D, E) and an accumulation of inflammatory cells. CD45 staining showed increased numbers of leucocytes in animals treated with LPS (G) compared to those undergoing a sham operation (F).
