The number of neutrophil in small intestine, lung and liver after EtOH intoxication and burn injury^$

	Sham vehicle	Sham EtOH	Burn vehicle	Burn EtOH
Intestine	1.56 ± 0.24	1.78 ± 0.28	2.67 ± 0.37	4.11 ± 0.46*
Lung	8.11 ± 0.89	9.11 ± 0.86	11.78 ± 0.81#	19.11 ± 1.09*
Liver	2.11 ± 0.45	2.22 ± 0.36	3.11 ± 0.39	8.67 ± 1.00*

^$Small intestine, lung and liver tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) and examined under the microscope at 1000× magnification. Neutrophils were identified by their distinct morphological feature such as small, pale granular cytoplasm with a multi-lobed nucleus. Each section was scanned for 3 microscopic fields, and the data thus obtained from 3 animals in each group were pooled and presented as mean ± SEM per single high powered microscopic field.
