Ceramide patterns in preterm infants with and without bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).
Ceramide patterns (ng/ml) in tracheal aspirates for infants who developed BPD (BPD; ●, continuous line) and infants who did not developed BPD (○, dashed line). Dots represent median values, whiskers 25th and 75th percentiles, and group comparison by means of univariate analysis per time point, * = p < 0.01.

Cell distribution in TAs of preterm born infants.
a) Total cell count for each time point between two groups (no BPD and BPD or respiratory death). b) Percentage of epithelial cells in TAs of infants who did not and who did develop BPD or died because of respiratory failure. c) Percentage of granulocytes in TAs of infants who did not and who did develop BPD or died because of respiratory failure. d) Percentage of macrophages or monocytes in TAs of infants who did not and who did develop BPD or died because of respiratory failure.
