Fig 1 Cytokine levels 2 hours after reperfusion. (A) Interleukin (IL)-1β in plasma, (B) IL-1β in lung tissue, (C) IL-6 in plasma, (D) IL-6 in lung tissue; (E) tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in plasma, (F) TNF-α in lung tissue. Data are shown as mean ± SD. The p values were calculated by one-way analysis of variance with Tukey’s multiple comparison tests. *p < 0.05. (PostC = postconditioning; PreC = preconditioning; PreC + PostC = both preconditioning and postconditioning.)

Fig 2 Myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels in (A) plasma and (B) lung tissue. Data are shown as mean ± SD. The p values were calculated by one-way analysis of variance with Tukey’s multiple comparison tests. *p < 0.05. (PostC = postconditioning; PreC = preconditioning; PreC + PostC = both preconditioning and postconditioning.)

Fig 3 Western blot analysis of (A) Bcl-2–associated X protein (Bax) and cytochrome c in mitochondria (loading control: voltage-dependent anion channel [VDAC]); and (B) Bax, cytochrome c, caspase-3, and cleaved caspase-3 in cytosol (loading control: β-actin); (C) caspase-3 cleavage ratio: cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3; (D) cytochrome c release: cytochrome c in cytosol/β-actin in cytosol. Data are shown as mean ± SD. The p values were calculated by Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn’s multiple comparison tests. *p < 0.05. (PostC = postconditioning; PreC = preconditioning; PreC + PostC = both preconditioning and postconditioning.)

Fig 4 TUNEL staining for the (A) control, (B) PreC, (C) PostC, (D) PreC + PostC groups. Red dots are the apoptotic cells. (Magnification: ×200; scale bar = 200 μm.) (PostC = postconditioning; PreC = preconditioning; PreC + PostC = both preconditioning and postconditioning; TUNEL = terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridinetriphosphate nick-end labeling.)

Fig 5 Hematoxylin and eosin staining for the (A) control, (B) PreC, (C) PostC, and (D) PreC + PostC groups and (E) Lung injury score. Arrowheads represent mononuclear cell infiltration. Bar indicates median value. The p values were calculated by Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn’s multiple comparison tests. *p < 0.05. (PostC = postconditioning; PreC = preconditioning; PreC + PostC = both preconditioning and postconditioning.)
