Abstract
Objective:
To study the effects of treatment by surfactant manufactured by our institute on premature rabbits through observation of alveolar morphologic changes.
Methods:
The morphology of alveolar area in the premature rabbits were quantitatively studied by morphometry.
Results:
In the surfactant treated group, there was a reduction of alveolar number, and increases in alveolus area and the ratio of alveolus to alveolar septum. These changes were better than that in the control group.
Conclusion:
Our surfactant was effective for respiratory distress syndrome in premature rabbits.
