A A Photomicrograph of normal architecture of the lung in the control group showing normal clear alveoli and thin inter-alveolar septa (H&E, scale bars = 40 µm). B, C Photomicrographs of Lung of CYP-treated rats. B Loss of the normal architecture of the lung with extensive infiltration by inflammatory cells (→), Marked thickening of the inter-alveolar septa (curved arrow) and narrowed alveoli (arrow head). C Extravasation of blood in the alveolar lumen (→), congested blood vessels (BV) and interstitial hemorrhage (H). (H&E, scale bars = 40 µm (B, C)). D A photomicrograph of the lung of CYP + BCX group showing normal alveolar epithelium and marked decrease in the thickening of the inter-alveolar septa. Mild mononuclear cellular infiltration was seen (→). (H&E, scale bars = 40 µm) (A alveoli, S inter-alveolar septum, B Bronchiole, BV blood vessel)
