  1. Abbreviations; OT: oxytetracycline, AC: alveolar collapse, Hem: alveolar hemorrhage. Ede: edema, Inf: inflammation, Prolif: proliferation, Fibr: fibrosis, BTP: birefringent talc particles.
  2. Data were given as median (minimum-maximum),
  3. a. comparisons of groups, ipsilateral side, 72 h and day 7 (Bonferroni Corrrection is applied and results were considered significant when p < 0.0125),
  4. b. comparisons of groups, contralateral side, 72 h and day 7 (Bonferroni Corrrection is applied and results were considered significant when p < 0.0125),
  5. c. comparisons of groups, ipsilateral-contralateral sides between 72 h and day 7 (Bonferroni Corrrection is applied and results were considered significant when p < 0.0083),
  6. d. oxytetracycline group, comparisons of ipsilateral-contralateral sides,
  7. e. talc group, comparisons of ipsilateral-contralateral sides,
  8. f. control group, comparisons of ipsilateral-contralateral sides,
  9. g. when groups compared, 72 h and day 7, (Bonferroni Corrrection is applied and results were considered significant when p < 0.0083),
  10. h. the difference between Talc and control group is significant (p < 0.0042),
  11. i. the difference between oxytetracycline and control group is significant (p < 0.0042),
  12. j. the difference between oxytetracycline and talc group is significant (p < 0.0042).
