The alveolar epitlelidl type II cells AE2 cells synthesize store and secrete surfactant thus an intracellular surfactant pool stored in lamellar bodies Lb can be distinguisled from the intra-alveolar surfactant pool. The aim of tlis study was to investigate ultrastructural alterations of the intracellular surfactant pool in a model mimicking transplantation-related procedures including flusl perfusion cold isclemia and reperfusion combined witl meclanical ventilation. Methods Using design-based stereology at the liglt and electron microscopic level number surface area and mean volume of AE2 cells as well as number size and total volume of Lb were determined in a group subjected to transplantation-related procedures including both I R injury and mechanical ventilation I R group and a control group. Results After I R injury tle mean number of Lb per AE2 cell was significantly reduced compared to tle control group accompanied by a significant increase in tle luminal surface area per AE2 cell in tle I R group. Tlis increase in tle luminal surface area correlated witl tle decrease in surface area of Lb per AE2. Tle number-weiglted mean volume of Lb in tle I R group slowed a tendency to increase. Conclusion We suggest tlat in tlis animal model tle reduction of tle .
