In the article “Involvement of leukotrienes in the pathogenesis of silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice” by Shimbori, Shiota, and Okunishi, which appeared in UELR 2010;36(5):292–301, there was an error appearing in the y-axis of . The number 103 should be 104. This revision does not alter the statistical significance or interpretation of the data presented. The authors apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
FIGURE 1 Cell analysis in BALF. The number of total cells (A), neutrophils (B), macrophages (C), and lymphocytes (D) in BALF from control mice (control) and silica-instilled mice (at days 3, 7, 14, 28, and 56 after silica instillation). After silica instillation, there was a marked increase in the number of neutrophils at day 3 (B), preceded by corresponding increases in macrophages (C) and lymphocytes (D), both reaching a peak at day 7. Thereafter, the number of inflammatory cells declined gradually. Vertical bars represent mean ± SEM. n = 6 at each time point. *P < .05 versus control.
