Nanoparticle delivery of microRNA-146a regulates mechanotransduction in lung macrophages and mitigates injury during mechanical ventilation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
There are no targeted pharmacologic therapies to treat lung injury during mechanical ventilation (MV). Here the authors identify a mechanosensitive microRNA (miR-146a) in alveolar macrophages during MV and increase miR-146a to supraphysiological levels ...

Lung volume recruitment maneuvers and respiratory system mechanics in mechanically ventilated mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The study aim was to establish how recruitment maneuvers (RMs) influence lung mechanics and to determine whether RMs produce lung injury. Healthy BALB/c mice were allocated to receive positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) at 2 or 6 cmH2O and volume ...

High tidal volume ventilation is not deleterious in infant rats exposed to severe hemorrhage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
BACKGROUND: Both high tidal volume (VT) ventilation and hemorrhage induce acute lung injury in adult rodents. It is not known whether injurious ventilation augments lung injury in infant rats exposed to severe hemorrhage.

HIF1A reduces acute lung injury by optimizing carbohydrate metabolism in the alveolar epithelium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: While acute lung injury (ALI) contributes significantly to critical illness, it resolves spontaneously in many instances. The majority of patients experiencing ALI require mechanical ventilation.

The Beta Agonist Lung Injury TrIal (BALTI) : prevention trial protocol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: Acute lung injury complicates approximately 25-30% of subjects undergoing oesophagectomy. Experimental studies suggest that treatment with beta agonists may prevent the development of acute lung injury by decreasing inflammatory cell ...

Favorable outcome with early initiation of VV-ECMO for unilateral lung disease in children

open access: yesRespiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2019
Unilateral lung diseases such as unilateral pneumonia, trauma or pulmonary hemorrhage can cause profound hypoxemic respiratory failure necessitating mechanical ventilation. These disorders are characterized by marked asymmetry in lung mechanics, with the

Sevoflurane posttreatment prevents oxidative and inflammatory injury in ventilator-induced lung injury. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving clinical treatment but it can induce or aggravate lung injury. New therapeutic strategies, aimed at reducing the negative effects of mechanical ventilation such as excessive production of reactive oxygen species ...

Simvastatin reduces endotoxin-induced acute lung injury by decreasing neutrophil recruitment and radical formation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) remains an unsolved problem in intensive care medicine. As simvastatin exerts protective effects in inflammatory diseases we explored its effects on development of ALI and due to the importance of neutrophils in ALI ...

Mechanisms of Lung Injury in a Mouse Model of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease that affects preterm infants. Increased levels of inflammatory mediators in the amniotic fluid and in the lungs of preterm infants are associated with the development of BPD.

Emerging concepts in ventilation-induced lung injury [version 1; peer review: 4 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2020
Ventilation-induced lung injury results from mechanical stress and strain that occur during tidal ventilation in the susceptible lung. Classical descriptions of ventilation-induced lung injury have focused on harm from positive pressure ventilation ...
