Fig. 3From: Therapeutic effects of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells from healthy or silicotic donors on recipient silicosis miceLung mechanics. Lung static elastance (Est,L) (a), resistive (ΔP1,L) and viscoelastic (ΔP2,L) pressures (b). Control (C) and silicotic (SIL) mice received saline (Sal)(50 μL) or silica (20 mg silica/50 μL saline) intratracheally. C and SIL animals were treated with bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) derived from healthy or silicotic (sil) donors. Values are means ± SD. n = 10 animals in each group. *Significantly different from C-Sal (P < 0.05). #Significantly different from Sil-Sal (P < 0.05)Back to article page
