Histological changes of rat lung tissues stained with hematoxylin and eosin (A) Control group (Control); (B) sham operation group (Sham); (C) CLP operation group (CLP); (D) DXM group (DXM); (E) APZ antagonizing group (APZ). Magnification, ×4. (F) The histological changes of lung tissue presented in A-E were magnified (magnification, ×40) and scored and the data were presented as the mean ± standard error. The CLP and APZ groups demonstrated mild to moderate injury, whilst Sham and DXM groups demonstrated minimal to mild injury. #P<0.01, vs. Control and CLP group. *P<0.001, vs. CLP and APZ group. CLP, cecal ligation and puncture; DXM, dexmedetomidine; APZ, atepamezole.
