Rabbits were subjected to simulated diving to 6 atmospheres absolute (ATA) for 60 min with 2.5-minute decompression, and received intravenous injection of different doses of UTI or saline immediately following decompression. Lung tissues and BALF were sampled for determination of W/D weight ratio and protein content, respectively. Blood was sampled for WBC, PLT and serum indices including IL-1β, MCP-1, ET-1, ICAM-1, MDA, and MPO. Values of the indices were compared between the Saline group and UTI groups at different time points.
