All mice were ventilated for 4 hours with low tidal volumes (8 mL/kg, group Con-LVT and group Sev-LVT) or high tidal volumes (16 mL/kg, group Con-HVT and group Sev-HVT).

Notes: The left lung was homogenized and RNA was extracted, followed by the measurement of the expression of NF-κB and HO-1 mRNA using RT-PCR. *P < 0.05, group Con-HVT versus Con-LVT; #P < 0.05, group Con-HVT versus Sev-LVT; &P < 0.05, group Sev-HVT versus Con-HVT.

Abbreviations: Con-LVT, low tidal volume of synthetic air ventilation; Sev-LVT, low tidal volume of air ventilation supplemented with sevoflurane; Con-HVT, high tidal volume of synthetic air ventilation; Sev-HVT, high tidal volume of air ventilation supplemented with sevoflurane; GADPH, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; NF-κB, nuclear factor-kappa B; HO-1, heme oxygenase-1; RT-PCR, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.
