  • We hypothesized that ENT-dependent adenosine uptake could be targeted to enhance adenosine-mediated lung protection. (ozgene.com)
  • Furthermore, studies in genetic models for adenosine receptors implicated the A2B adenosine receptor (Adora2b) in mediating ENT-dependent lung protection. (ozgene.com)
  • These results demonstrated that a thin coating of aSiO2 on CeO2 protected lungs from CeO2-induced acute lung toxicity, suggesting that a thin coating of aSiO2 may potentially be used to modify other nanoparticle -induced lung toxicity. (cdc.gov)

  • On the basis of this figure, the crude incidence of acute lung injury was 78.9 per 100,000 person-years and the age-adjusted incidence was 86.2 per 100,000 person-years. (nih.gov)
  • The incidence of acute lung injury increased with age from 16 per 100,000 person-years for those 15 through 19 years of age to 306 per 100,000 person-years for those 75 through 84 years of age. (nih.gov)
  • Acute lung injury has a substantial impact on public health, with an incidence in the United States that is considerably higher than previous reports have suggested. (nih.gov)
  • Thus, the present findings suggest that prophylactic treatment with SOD may be, at least in part, effective for alleviating acute lung injury caused by endotoxins. (karger.com)
  • Many types of gases-such as chlorine, phosgene, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide, and ammonia-may suddenly be released during industrial accidents and may severely irritate the lungs. (msdmanuals.com)
