Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn
Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a severe pulmonary disorder which occurs at a rate of one in every 500 live births. About 10–50% of the victims will die of the problem and 7–20% of the survivors develop long-term impairments ...

Acute pulmonary pathology and sudden death in rats following the intravenous administration of the plasticizer, DI (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, solubilized with Tween surfactants [PDF]
Intravenous administration of 200-300 mg/kg of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) solubilized in aqueous solutions of several Tween surfactants caused respiratory distress in rats.

Kinematic irreversibility in surfactant-laden interfaces [PDF]
The surface shear viscosity of an insoluble surfactant monolayer often depends strongly on its surface pressure. Here, we show that a particle moving within a bounded monolayer breaks the kinematic reversibility of low-Reynolds-number flows.

The S100A4/STAT3 axis promotes Rmrp transcription in AEC‐IIs and Rmrp expression in AEC‐II‐derived exosomes. Upon entry into AMs, Rmrp binds to and blocks the ubiquitination and degradation of ZFP36. Increased ZFP36 induced Pfkfb3 mRNA decay by binding to AREs in the 3′ UTR, curbing glycolysis and immune responses of AMs and aggravating SII and ...
