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.

An insight into the diverse roles of surfactant proteins, SP-A and SP-D in innate and adaptive immunity [PDF]

, 2012
PMCID: PMC3369187Surfactant proteins SP-A and SP-D are hydrophilic, collagen-containing calcium-dependent lectins, which appear to have a range of innate immune functions at pulmonary as well as extrapulmonary sites. These proteins bind to target ligands

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 ...

Familial idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in a young female

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2018
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic interstitial lung disease of unknown cause. In the past years there have been observations of clustering of pulmonary fibrosis in families, indicating the disease can be inherited.

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 ...
