Lung W/D ratio. Values are displayed as means ± SD. Group MV: Mechanical ventilation with normoxia group; Group HMV: Mechanical ventilation with hyperoxia group; Group HMV + DFO: Mechanical ventilation with hyperoxia+DFO group. After mechanical ventilation with hyperoxia for 4 h, the W/D ratio of the lung tissues increased significantly as compared with the MV group (P = 0.000). After DFO treatment, the W/D ratio of the lung tissues decreased significantly as compared with the HMV group (P = 0.000), and it increased significantly as compared with the MV group (P = 0.000)
