Lung Deposition of Surfactant Delivered via a Dedicated Laryngeal Mask Airway in Piglets [PDF]
Pharmaceutics, 2021 It is unknown if the lung deposition of surfactant administered via a catheter placed through a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is equivalent to that obtained by bolus instillation through an endotracheal tube.

An experimental study on lung deposition of inhaled 2 μm particles in relation to lung characteristics and deposition models [PDF]
Particle and Fibre Toxicology, 2023 Background The understanding of inhaled particle respiratory tract deposition is a key link to understand the health effects of particles or the efficiency for medical drug delivery via the lung.

Pulmonary immunization: deposition site is of minor relevance for influenza vaccination but deep lung deposition is crucial for hepatitis B vaccination [PDF]
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2019 Vaccination via the pulmonary route could be an attractive alternative to parenteral administration. Research towards the best site of antigen deposition within the lungs to induce optimal immune responses has conflicting results which might be dependent

Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Promote YAP/TAZ Nuclear Localization in Alveolar Epithelial Type II Cells
Atmosphere, 2022 We investigated roles of Hippo signaling pathway components in alveolar type II cells (AECII) after zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZnONP) exposure. ZnONPs physicochemistry was characterized using field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy ...

Asymmetric lung increases particle filtration by deposition
Scientific Reports, 2023 AbstractHuman lung is known to be an asymmetric dichotomously branched network of bronchioles. Existing literature on the relation between anatomy and air-flow physics in the tracheobronchial trees has discussed the results of asymmetry. We discuss a secondary (but an important) lung function to seek asymmetry: to protect the acinus from a high ...
