Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does bleomycin-induced acute lung injury in the rat influence pulmonary vascular responsiveness in vitro?
Answer: Despite evidence for the loss of endothelial integrity that characterizes lung injury after intratracheal bleomycin, isolated pulmonary artery rings in vitro showed no loss of endothelial cell function. The role of the endothelium in modulating pulmonary ventilation/perfusion matching after lung injury is unclear.
Output (English): no
