The effects of whole-body hypothermia treatment on the muscle histopathology changes and traumatic tissue edema induced by blast limb trauma. Representative microphotographs were taken from Sham (A), blast limb trauma (BLT; B), and BLT + whole-body hypothermia treatment for 30 min (BLT-WH30; C), 60 min (BLT-WH60; D), 3 h (BLT-WH3h; E), and 6 h (BLT-WH6h; F). Traumatic tissue water content was represented by wet/dry weight (G). Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 12). #P < 0.05 versus BLT.
