Pentoxifylline attenuates burn-induced distant organ injury. The lung sections harvested 24 hours after burn-injury stained with hematoxylin-eosin and viewed at ×20 magnification (n = 3 animals per group). (A) Normal appearance of the lung tissue from sham animal. (B) Evidence of acute lung injury in animals 24 hours after burn characterized by cellular infiltration, presence of hyaline membranes, and intra-alveolar hemorrhage. (C) Appearance of the lung tissue from animals given PTX immediately after burn is noticeably improved at 24 hours compared with burn with only minimal cellular infiltration. Bar = 100 μm.
