Euonymus fortunei(Turcz.)Hand.-Mazz,significantly improves the inflammatory infiltration of lung tissue in mice with acute lung injury induced by LPS from a pathological point of view,significantly reduces the congestion of lung tissue in mice,and can also reduce visible bleeding in the alveolar cavity.And the exudation even reduced the visible red mutation area,suggesting that the lung tissue
