Changes of lung MDA, MPO, TNF-α, and IL-1β in the control, ALI, ALI + HSS (iv), and ALI + HSS (ip) groups (n = 10 in each group). MDA, TNF-α, and IL-1β levels as well as MPO activity were significantly increased in the ALI, ALI + HSS (iv), and ALI + HSS (ip) groups compared with the control group. However, HSS significantly decreased the levels of MDA, TNF-α, and IL-1β and the activity of MPO of lung tissues compared with the ALI group, and all of these measurements were lower in the ALI + HSS (ip) group than in the ALI + HSS (iv) group. Compared with the control group, *P < 0.05; compared with the ALI group, # P < 0.05; compared with the ALI + HSS (iv) group, P < 0.05. ALI acute lung injury, HSS hydrogen-saturated saline, MDA malondialdehyde, MPO myeloperoxidase, TNF-α tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-1β interleukin 1β
