Resolving Endoplasmic Reticulum‐Protein Misfolding Restores Corticosteroid Sensitivity in Experimental Models of Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
This study investigates the role of ER stress in steroid resistance in severe asthma. Results from advanced 3D models of human bronchial epithelial cells, steroid‐resistant severe asthma mouse models, and human severe asthma sputum samples show that treatment with ICS in combination with the ER stress inhibitor 4‐PBA significantly enhances steroid ...

Evaluation of a Rat Cardiopulmonary Bypass Model Using an Extraluminal Flow Oxygenator

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
A rat cardiopulmonary bypass model was constructed incorporating the developed extraluminal flow oxygenator and compared with a commercial intraluminal flow oxygenator. Both oxygenators demonstrated comparable gas exchange performance and inflammatory responses; however, the one developed in this study better preserved PLT counts.

Hormonal Treatment During Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion Ameliorates Brain Death Induced Inflammation

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Treatment of lungs during ex vivo perfusion with 17β‐estradiol and methylprednisolone improved graft quality. In females, treated and non‐treated groups presented reduced leukocyte infiltration and only the treatment improved perfusion flow. In males, treatment improved lung function by increasing compliance, paO2, and perfusion flow.

Impact of Gentamicin‐Impregnated Collagen Sponge on the Incidence of Access Related Infections After Full‐Support Microaxial Flow Pump Therapy

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Local application of gentamicin for wound closure after full‐support microaxial flow pump therapy. ABSTRACT Background Surgically implanted microaxial flow pumps (mAFP) are increasingly used for cardiogenic shock treatment. Standard mAFP explantation is performed bedside with a shortening of the vascular prosthesis, which may represent a potential ...
