MethodsTo study the myofiber size and ECM area in the diaphragm, cryosections were cut from costal diaphragm biopsies obtained during surgery of 54 mechanically ventilated critically ill patients. Cryosections were stained for fast myosin heavy chain to assess myofiber type and cross-sectional area (CSA) and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) to visualize ECM area (Figure 1A)(7–10). ECM quantification using WGA was validated with the established picrosirius red staining in a subset of 12 patients (because of biopsy size limitations)(9). Findings were compared with biopsies from 25 control patients undergoing elective lung surgery. Exclusion criteria were as previously described (8). The protocol was approved by the medical ethics committee of the Amsterdam university medical center (protocol# 2010/69). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient and/or legal representative.
