Effect of PDTC on the PMN apoptosis rate in BALF samples and the pathology scores of LPS-induced ARDS mice. Mice were anesthetized at 4, 12 and 24 h following the saline or LPS challenge. BALF and lung tissues were then collected immediately for the determination of (A) apoptosis rates and (B) histological scores. Values are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01, vs. control; #P<0.05 and ##P<0.01, vs. LPS group (n=10). NS, normal saline; PDTC, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; BALF, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid; ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome; PMN, polymorphonuclear neutrophil.
