Melilotus extract ameliorates the histopathological changes of lung tissue in septic mice. (A) Histopathological changes were determined using hematoxylin and eosin staining in the lung tissue of mice in each of the following groups: a, sham-operated group; b, control group; c, treatment group; d, sham-operated group; e, control group; f, treatment group (magnification: a-c, ×100; d-f, ×400). (B) Quantitative analysis of ALI pathology scores in mice from each group. Values are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (n=3). ^**P<0.01 vs. sham-operated group, ^#P<0.05 vs. control group. ALI, acute lung injury.
