The effects of whole-body hypothermia treatment on the lung histopathology changes and pulmonary 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). Histopathologic scoring data of lung injury are presented in a box-and-whisker plot (the boxes are constructed with 25% and 75% CIs and median and maximum or minimum individual values; G). Lung water content was represented by wet/dry weight (H). Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 12). #P < 0.05 versus BLT.
