Figure 11.

The correlations for survivin and NF-kB/p65 in alveolar epithelial cells are shown: (a) LPS group, (b) 20 mg/kg of simvastatin, (c) 40 mg/kg of simvastatin. The number of survivin and NF-kB/p65 immunopositive alveolar epithelial cells were quantified across ten non-successive fields per sample of lung tissue from the LPS, 20 mg/kg of simvastatin, and 40 mg/kg of simvastatin groups, using ImageJ software 1.50. The correlation analysis and level of significance were calculated by using Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
