Novel endothelin receptor antagonist attenuates endotoxin-induced lung injury in sheep.

abstract：:Biological systems are innately complex, display nonlinear behavior, and respond to both disease and its treatment in similar complex ways. Complex systems display self-organization and predictive behavior along a range of possible states, often referred to as chaotic behavior, and can be both characterized and quanti...
