On the resolvability of the dynamics of one fluid flow via a testing fluid in a two-fluids flow model [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
In this work, by considering an isentropic fluid-fluid interaction model with a large symmetric drag force, a commonly used simplified two-fluids flow model is justified as the asymptotic limit. Equations for each fluid component with an interaction term are identified in addition to the simplified two-fluids flow model, which can be used to resolve ...

Human Bocavirus (HBoV) Infection: An associated Life Threatening Respiratory illness

Journal of Pediatric Critical Care, 2018
Background: 10 month old infant presenting with fever, cough and coryza for 3 days progressed to acute respiratory failure. An initial clinical presentation of wheeze associated lower respiratory tract infection developed into an extremely severe course ...

Candidacidal factors in murine bronchoalveolar lavage fluid [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1987
Respiratory secretions provide an efficient method for protecting the large surface area of the lower respiratory tract. To determine whether lung secretions contribute to antifungal defenses, we tested bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for fungicidal activity.

AIDS patients have increased surfactant protein D but normal mannose binding lectin levels in lung fluid. [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Surfactant protein D (SP-D) and Mannose Binding Lectin (MBL) are collectins that have opsonic and immunoregulatory functions, are found in lung fluid and interact with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Inhalable Hsa‐miR‐30a‐3p Liposomes Attenuate Pulmonary Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study explores inhalable hsa‐miR‐30a‐3p‐loaded liposomes as a treatment for bleomycin‐induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. Hsa‐miR‐30a‐3p is electroporated into liposomes and formulated into a dry powder for inhalation. Delivered via dry powder inhalation, it improves pulmonary function, promotes myofibroblast de‐differentiation by targeting CNPY2 ...

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor‐121 Administration Mitigates Halogen Inhalation‐Induced Pulmonary Injury and Fetal Growth Restriction in Pregnant Mice

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Circulating levels of sFLT‐1 (soluble fms‐like tyrosine kinase 1), the extracellular domain of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor 1, and its ratio to levels of placental growth factor are markers of the occurrence and severity ...

Citrullination of NF‐κB p65 by PAD2 as a Novel Therapeutic Target for Modulating Macrophage Polarization in Acute Lung Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Peptidyl arginine deiminase 2 (PAD2) plays a key role in regulating macrophage function in Pseudomonas aeruginosa‐induced acute lung injury (ALI). Using single‐cell RNA sequencing and proteomics, a new PAD2‐catalyzed citrullination site on NF‐κB p65 (171 Arginine), modulating macrophage polarization is identified.

Comparison of different microbiological procedures for the diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia on bronchoalveolar-lavage fluid

BMC Microbiology, 2022
Background The current diagnostic gold standard for Pneumocystis jirovecii is represented by microscopic visualization of the fungus from clinical respiratory samples, as bronchoalveolar-lavage fluid, defining “proven” P.

The cost of swimming in generalized Newtonian fluids: Experiments with C. elegans [PDF]

J. Fluid Mech. (2016), vol. 800, pp. 753-765, 2016
Numerous natural processes are contingent on microorganisms' ability to swim through fluids with non-Newtonian rheology. Here, we use the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans and tracking methods to experimentally investigate the dynamics of undulatory swimming in shear-thinning fluids. Theory and simulation have proposed that the cost of swimming, or

Novel translational approaches to the search for precision therapies for acute respiratory distress syndrome. [PDF]

, 2017
In the 50 years since acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was first described, substantial progress has been made in identifying the risk factors for and the pathogenic contributors to the syndrome and in characterising the protein expression ...
