Restoration of surfactant activity by polymyxin B in lipopolysaccharide-potentiated injury of immature rabbit lungs

Scientific Reports, 2021
During postnatal adaptation pulmonary surfactant may be inactivated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We evaluated the effect of surfactant therapy in combination with antibiotic polymyxin B (PxB) in double-hit model of neonatal lung injury.

Pulmonary effects of inhalation of spark-generated silver nanoparticles in Brown-Norway and Sprague-Dawley rats [PDF]

, 2016
The increasing use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in consumer products is concerning. We examined the potential toxic effects when inhaled in Brown-Norway (BN) rats with a pre-inflammatory state compared to Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats.We determined the ...

Methane Inhalation Protects Against Lung Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Rats by Regulating Pulmonary Surfactant via the Nrf2 Pathway

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Methane (CH4) exerted protective effects against lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, but the mechanism remains unclear, especially the role of pulmonary surfactant.

Lung surfactant alterations in pulmonary thromboembolism

European Journal of Medical Research, 2009
Beside neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, secondary surfactant deficiency may occur in patients with mature lungs. Recent studies revealed quantitative and qualitative changes of lung surfactant in pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) concerning the ...

Gene Therapy Potential for Genetic Disorders of Surfactant Dysfunction

Frontiers in Genome Editing, 2022
Pulmonary surfactant is critically important to prevent atelectasis by lowering the surface tension of the alveolar lining liquid. While respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is common in premature infants, severe RDS in term and late preterm infants ...
