Effects of QZZKF on morphological changes in the lung tissues of mice. The inferior lobe of the right lung was harvested after the final exposure after five days of treatment; sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (200×). Black arrow, infiltration of inflammatory cells. Yellow arrow, atelectasis and alveolar collapse.
QZZKF regulated SP-A, B7-H3, IL-12, and IL-13 expression levels in the lung tissues of mice. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 8–10). *p < 0.05 compared to the control group; #p < 0.05 compared to the model group; and △p < 0.05 compared to the AZM group.
