Pre-treatment with allopurinol or uricase attenuates barrier dysfunction but not inflammation during murine ventilator-induced lung injury. [PDF]
Uric acid released from injured tissue is considered a major endogenous danger signal and local instillation of uric acid crystals induces acute lung inflammation via activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is mediated

Mechanistic and protective approach to ventilator-induced lung injury: A narrative review
Mechanical ventilation is a lifesaving tool in the management of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome. It is a double-edged sword if not used gently and with lung protective strategies, especially in heterogeneous ...

High levels of S100A8/A9 proteins aggravate ventilator-induced lung injury via TLR4 signaling. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Bacterial products add to mechanical ventilation in enhancing lung injury. The role of endogenous triggers of innate immunity herein is less well understood. S100A8/A9 proteins are released by phagocytes during inflammation. The present study

Soluble triggering receptor on myeloid cells-1 is expressed in the course of non-infectious inflammation after traumatic lung contusion : a prospective cohort study [PDF]
Introduction: The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is known to be expressed during bacterial infections. We investigated whether TREM-1 is also expressed in non-infectious inflammation following traumatic lung contusion. Methods:

Benefit of broccoli extract-sulforaphane prophylaxis in ventilator-induced lung injury
Background: Owig to the extensive use of mechanical ventilation, risks of acute lung injury are significant in the intensive care unit. Broccoli extract-sulforaphane (SFN) has been investigated as bioactive polyphenol in chronic lung diseases.

Ventilator-induced lung injury
The purpose of mechanical ventilation is to rest the respiratory muscles while providing adequate gas exchange. Ventilatory support proved to be indispensable during the 1952 polio epidemic in Copenhagen, decreasing mortality among patients with ...

Strategies to prevent ventilator-associated lung injury in critically Ill patients
Life-saving mechanical ventilation (MV) induces or exacerbates a range of pulmonary pathologies, collectively known as ventilator-induced lung injury if there is evidence of direct causation (i.e., in the research laboratory).

Mitogen activated protein kinase activated protein kinase 2 regulates actin polymerization and vascular leak in ventilator associated lung injury. [PDF]
Mechanical ventilation, a fundamental therapy for acute lung injury, worsens pulmonary vascular permeability by exacting mechanical stress on various components of the respiratory system causing ventilator associated lung injury.
