Systemic and pulmonary inflammation was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays of plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), respectively, which included tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-10, C-X-C motif ligand 2 (CXCL2), and CXCL5. Here, IL10 is linked to inflammation.
