JF reduced airway resistance in ALI mice (p < 0.01) and respiratory frequency (p < 0.05); it lowered the levels of TNF-α in NLF, BALF, and serum (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01) and the content of IL-6 in NLF (p < 0.01), while improving the pathological damage of alveolar epithelial cells and mitochondria in ALI mice. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is acute respiratory distress syndrome.
