Pulmonary changes and redox status after fractionalized dose of prophylactic surfactant treatment in preterm neonatal lambs

open access: yesJournal of Applied Animal Research, 2020
The present study aimed to analyse the effects of exogenous surfactant administration in premature lambs on oxidative stress profile, oxygenation and lung histology. Preterm lambs (n = 22) were randomly assigned to: Control (n = 5), Single Surfactant (n =

4D Bioprinted Self‐Folding Scaffolds Enhance Cartilage Formation in the Engineering of Trachea

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
A bilayer self‐folding scaffold, triggerable by humidity, is fabricated via 4D bioprinting for trachea engineering. An analytical model is derived to predict its radius of curvature, enabling its scalability. Cartilage progenitor cells seeded on the scaffold perceive scaffold final curvature and react to it, by enhancing the upregulation of pro ...

Evaluation of Cell‐Extracellular Vesicle Interaction Using a Microfluidic Microsystem (CellExoChip)

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A new microfluidic platform, the CellExoChip, reveals how cancer cells interact with exosomes to influence metastasis. This device isolates cancer cells and tracks their uptake exosomes and secretion of their exosomes in response to other exosomes. Lung cancer cells are showed preferentially absorb and respond to their own exosomes—hinting at a hidden ...

Pulmonary surfactant coating of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) influences their oxidative and pro-inflammatory potential in vitro

open access: yesParticle and Fibre Toxicology, 2012
Background Increasing concern has been expressed regarding the potential adverse health effects that may be associated with human exposure to inhaled multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Thus it is imperative that an understanding as to the underlying

Tracheal suctioning improves gas exchange but not hemodynamics in asphyxiated lambs with meconium aspiration. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BackgroundCurrent neonatal resuscitation guidelines recommend tracheal suctioning of nonvigorous neonates born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid.MethodsWe evaluated the effect of tracheal suctioning at birth in 29 lambs with asphyxia induced by ...

Label‐Free Characterization of Lipid Interfaces Using Plasmonic Gold Nanorods as Optically Active Nanosensors

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A label‐free plasmonic nanosensor platform is presented based on single gold nanorods for the nanometric characterization of lipid interfaces. By correlating optical scattering signals with membrane packing and refractive index, this approach enables the detection of gel‐to‐fluid transitions in lipid interfaces, offering a robust, high‐resolution ...

Deleted in Malignant Brain Tumors 1 (DMBT1) is present in hyaline membranes and modulates surface tension of surfactant

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2007
Background Deleted in Malignant Brain Tumors 1 (DMBT1) is a secreted scavenger receptor cysteine-rich protein that binds various bacteria and is thought to participate in innate pulmonary host defense.

Inhaled nitric oxide as an adjunct to neonatal resuscitation in premature infants: a pilot, double blind, randomized controlled trial. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
BackgroundNitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in normal postnatal transition. Our aims were to determine whether adding inhaled NO (iNO) decreases supplemental oxygen exposure in preterm infants requiring positive pressure ventilation (PPV) during ...
