Compared to saline-challenged rats, rats exposed to 50 microg intratracheal lipopolysaccharide showed an increase of total white cells (from 0.3 x 10(6) to 2.4 x 10(6)), neutrophils (from 0.09 x 10(6) to 1.8 x 10(6)), the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha (from 200 pg ml(-1) to 1200 pg ml(-1)), and interleukin (IL)-1beta (from 220 pg ml(-1) to 650 pg ml(-1)) in the bronchial lavage fluid. However, after pretreatment with extracts of Phellinus gilvus and Phellinus baumii, the total white cells, neutrophils, and the level of IL-1beta in lipopolysaccharide-challenged rats were similar to those in saline-challenged rats, except for TNF-alpha. The results indicate that extracts of P. gilvus and P. baumii may be useful in preventing acute pulmonary inflammation in human diseases.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on extracting and analyzing water-soluble intracellular polysaccharides (IPSW-2 to 4) from a medicinal fungus, assessing their antioxidant properties and structures.
- The water-eluted polysaccharide fractions showed higher content and yield compared to salt elution fractions, leading to further purification through size-exclusion chromatography.
- Antioxidant analysis demonstrated that the polysaccharide fractions had better superoxide anion scavenging abilities than polysaccharides from other sources, indicating potential for functional food development.

This study involved the successful production of mycelial polysaccharides by optimizing submerged culture conditions of Pilát. Then, the investigation focused on the composition and chemical structure of the water-soluble polysaccharide from Pilát mycelia (PBMP) by extraction and purification. Specifically, this study indicated that a water-soluble PBMP fraction 1 (PBMP) was isolated from PBMP.
