Nadph oxidase and epithelial sodium channels regulate neonatal mouse lung development
Background: Epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) play critically important roles in lung fluid clearance at birth. We have previously shown that Nadph oxidase (NOX)-derived reactive oxygen species signaling activates ENaC and promotes alveolar fluid ...

Lifetime positron annihilation spectroscopy and photo-inactivated bacteria [PDF]
Combined positron and visible light irradiations in the photodynamical therapy (PDT) applications are analyzed. Objectives and goals of PDT are killing or irreversible oxidative damage of pathogenic cells, or rather their cell walls, cell membranes, peptides, and nucleic acids by photo-activated oxygen of photosentizer injected into the target cell ...

Targeted and Imaging-guided In Vivo Photodynamic Therapy of Tumors Using Dual-functional, Aggregation-induced Emission Nanoparticles [PDF]
Dual-functional nanoparticles, with the property of aggregation-induced emission and the capability of reactive oxygen species, were used to achieve passive/active targeting of tumor. Good contrast in in vivo imaging and obvious therapeutic efficiency were realized with a low dose of AIE nanoparticles as well as a low power density of light, resulting ...

Evaluation of predictive factors related to the presence or absence of supplemental oxygen therapy and comparison of physical functions after video-assisted thoracic surgery [PDF]
We performed a retrospective study of 102 individuals to evaluate predictive factors for needing supplemental oxygen therapy following video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and to compare patients’ physical functions before and after surgery.

Mechanism and Prevention of Hyperbaric Oxygen Convulsions [PDF]
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) proves vital in saving lives by elevating the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2). However, HBOT may also have toxic effects, including lung and retinal damage (peripheral HBOT toxicity), muscle spasms and violent myoclonic convulsions (CNS HBOT toxicity), which may even lead to death if left untreated.
