Apoptosis is the mechanism responsible for the physiological deletion of cells and appears to be intrinsically programmed. It is characterized by distinctive morphologic changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm, chromatin cleavage at regularly spaced sites, and the endonucleolytic cleavage of genomic DNA; (DNA FRAGMENTATION); at internucleosomal sites.

Most cases of edema are present under the SKIN in SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE.Receptors, Interleukin-8B: High-affinity G-protein-coupled receptors for INTERLEUKIN-8 present on NEUTROPHILS; MONOCYTES; and T-LYMPHOCYTES. These receptors also bind several other CXC CHEMOKINES.Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn: A condition of the newborn marked by DYSPNEA with CYANOSIS, heralded by such prodromal signs as dilatation of the alae nasi, expiratory grunt, and retraction of the suprasternal notch or costal margins, mostly frequently occurring in premature infants, children of diabetic mothers, and infants delivered by cesarean section, and sometimes with no apparent predisposing cause.Abbreviated Injury Scale: Classification system for assessing impact injury severity developed and published by the American Association for Automotive Medicine. It is the system of choice for coding single injuries and is the foundation for methods assessing multiple injuries or for assessing cumulative effects of more than one injury. These include Maximum AIS (MAIS), Injury Severity Score (ISS), and Probability of Death Score (PODS).Angiopoietin-2: An angiopoietin that is closely related to ANGIOPOIETIN-1. It binds to the TIE-2 RECEPTOR without receptor stimulation and antagonizes the effect of ANGIOPOIETIN-1. However its antagonistic effect may be limited to cell receptors that occur within the vasculature. Angiopoietin-2 may therefore play a role in down-regulation of BLOOD VESSEL branching and sprouting.Therapeutic Irrigation: The washing of a body cavity or surface by flowing water or solution for therapy or diagnosis.Leukocyte Count: The number of WHITE BLOOD CELLS per unit volume in venous BLOOD.

Transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) caused by red blood cell transfusion involving residual plasma anti-HLA antibodies: a report on two cases and general considerations. (1/1061)

TRALI is considered a serious hazard among immune complications of blood transfusion and its occurrence is admitted to be globally underestimated. Each type of blood product is likely to cause TRALI. We report here on two consecutive observations of TRALI caused by red blood cell concentrates, in which anti-HLA class I and class II antibodies resulting from post-gravitational allo-immunization were evidenced in donors. HLA class I and II antigenic community between recipients and donors' husbands were found and strong reacting IgG antibodies directed at several of those common antigens were detected in the donors' serum. Both donors had more than 3 pregnancies, raising the issue of blood donor selection or of plasma reduction for cellular products.  (+info)

Mechanisms of pulmonary dysfunction after on-pump and off-pump cardiac surgery: a prospective cohort study. (2/1061)

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary dysfunction following cardiac surgery is believed to be caused, at least in part, by a lung vascular injury and/or atelectasis following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) perfusion and collapse of non-ventilated lungs. METHODS: To test this hypothesis, we studied the postoperative pulmonary leak index (PLI) for 67Ga-transferrin and (transpulmonary) extravascular lung water (EVLW) in consecutive patients undergoing on-pump (n = 31) and off-pump (n = 8) cardiac surgery. We also studied transfusion history, radiographs, ventilatory and gas exchange variables. RESULTS: The postoperative PLI and EVLW were elevated above normal in 42 and 29% after on-pump surgery and 63 and 37% after off-pump surgery, respectively (ns). Transfusion of red blood cell (RBC) concentrates, PLI, EVLW, occurrence of atelectasis, ventilatory variables and duration of mechanical ventilation did not differ between groups, whereas patients with atelectasis had higher venous admixture and airway pressures than patients without atelectasis (P = 0.037 and 0.049). The PLI related to number of RBC concentrates infused (P = 0.025). CONCLUSION: The lung vascular injury in about half of patients after cardiac surgery is not caused by CPB perfusion but by trauma necessitating RBC transfusion, so that off-pump surgery may not afford a benefit in this respect. However, atelectasis rather than lung vascular injury is a major determinant of postoperative pulmonary dysfunction, irrespective of CPB perfusion.  (+info)

Toward early identification of acute lung injury in the emergency department. (3/1061)

BACKGROUND: There are no studies evaluating the epidemiology of pediatric acute lung injury (ALI) in the emergency department (ED), where early identification and interventions are most likely to be helpful. The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiology of the ALI precursor acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) in the ED. METHODS: We analyzed 11,664 pediatric patient records from 16 EDs. Records were selected if oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) was recorded during the visit. Virtual partial pressure of oxygen (pO(2)) was calculated from SpO(2), thus allowing calculation of ratios of pO(2) to fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO(2)) (PFRs). Patients with a PFR < 300 were classified as having AHRF. Univariate analyses and logistic regression were used to test the association of clinical factors with the presence of AHRF and intubation. RESULTS: AHRF criteria (ie, PFR < 300) were met in 121 (2.9%) of the 4,184 patients with an oxygenation measurement. The following variables were independently associated with ALI: higher Pediatric Risk of Admission II score (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval (CI)] = 1.12 [1.08-1.16]; p < .001), higher heart rate (1.02 [1.01-1.03]; p = .009), a positive chest radiograph (2.35 [1.02-5.43]; p = .045), and lower temperature (0.49 [0.36-0.68]; p < .001).The final model had an R(2) = .20. CONCLUSION: We found nonintubated AHRF to be prevalent in the ED. The low R(2) for the regression model for AHRF underscores the lack of criteria for early identification of patients with respiratory compromise. Our findings represent an important first step toward establishing the true incidence of ALI in the pediatric ED.  (+info)

Transfusion-related acute lung injury is emerging as a common cause of transfusion-related adverse events. However, awareness about this entity in the medical fraternity is low and it, consequently, remains a very under-reported and often an under-diagnosed complication of transfusion therapy. We report a case of a 46-year old woman who developed acute respiratory and hemodynamic instability following a single unit blood transfusion in the postoperative period. Investigation results were non-specific and a diagnosis of transfusion-related acute lung injury was made after excluding other possible causes of acute lung injury. She responded to symptomatic management with ventilatory and vasopressor support and recovered completely over the next 72 hours. The diagnosis of transfusion-related acute lung injury relies on excluding other causes of acute pulmonary edema following transfusion, such as sepsis, volume overload, and cardiogenic pulmonary edema. All plasma containing blood products have been

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSCs)-based therapy seems to be a promising treatment for acute lung injury, but the therapeutic effects of BMSCs transplantation on acute lung injury induced by brain ischemia and the mechanisms have not been totally elucidated. This study explores the effects of transplantation of BMSCs on acute lung injury induced by focal cerebral ischemia and investigates the underlying mechanism. Acute lung injury model was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). BMSCs (with concentration of 1 × 106/ml) were transplanted into host through tail vein 1 day after MCAO. Then, the survival, proliferation and migration of BMSCs in lung were observed at 4 days after transplantation, and histology observation and lung function were assessed for 7 days. Meanwhile, in situ hybridization (ISH), qRT-PCR and western blotting were employed to detect the expression of TNF-α in lung. Neurobehavioral deficits and acute lung injury could be seen in brain ischemia rats. Implanted
JCI - Platelet depletion and aspirin treatment protect mice in a two-event model of transfusion-related acute lung injuryJCI - Platelet depletion and aspirin treatment protect mice in a two-event model of transfusion-related acute lung injury
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is the leading cause of transfusion-associated mortality in the US. Previously, we established an immune-mediated TRALI mouse model, wherein mice with cognate antigen were challenged with MHC class I mAb. In this study, when mice housed in a rodent, specific pathogen-free barrier room were challenged with MHC I mAb, there was significant protection from TRALI compared with nonbarrier mice. Priming mice with LPS restored lung injury with mAb challenge. Using TLR4-deficient bone marrow chimeras, the priming phenotype was restricted to animals with WT hematopoietic cells, and depletion of either neutrophils or platelets was protective. Both neutrophils and platelets were sequestered in the lungs of mice with TRALI, and retention of platelets was neutrophil dependent. Interestingly, treatment with aspirin prevented lung injury and mortality, but blocking the P selectin or CD11b/CD18 pathways did not. These data suggest a 2-step mechanism of TRALI: ...

Acute lung injury, a common condition characterized by acute severe hypoxia without evidence of hydrostatic pulmonary edema, remains a key source of mortality and morbidity in critically ill patients. The condition has a high incidence rate across the globe and overall rate of mortality remains high. Pathogenesis of the condition is explained by injuries to both the alveolar and endothelium epithelium. Recent advances in the field have helped researchers gain a better understanding of pathophysiology of the condition and several biological markers associated with worse clinical outcomes have been identified. Ongoing research in the area of fluid conservation and lung-protective ventilation strategies have demonstrated improvements in survival rate of patients. Potential treatment methods such as statin therapy and nutritional strategies are also expected to gain more focus from research bodies operating in the area of treatment of acute lung injury..

The avian influenza virus (AIV) can cross species barriers and expand its host range from birds to mammals, even humans. Avian influenza is characterized by pronounced activation of the proinflammatory cytokine cascade, which perpetuates the inflammatory response, leading to persistent systemic inflammatory response syndrome and pulmonary infection in animals and humans. There are currently no specific treatment strategies for avian influenza. We hypothesized that mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) would have beneficial effects in the treatment of H9N2 AIV-induced acute lung injury in mice. Six- to 8-week-old C57BL/6 mice were infected intranasally with 1 × 104 MID50 of A/HONG KONG/2108/2003 [H9N2 (HK)] H9N2 virus to induce acute lung injury. After 30 min, syngeneic MSCs were delivered through the caudal vein. Three days after infection, we measured the survival rate, lung weight, arterial blood gas, and cytokines in both bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum, and assessed pathological changes to
acute lung injury - Stephen M. Blackacute lung injury - Stephen M. Black
Stephen M. Black and a team of researchers have uncovered information that could help with treatment for acute lung injury. A summary of their study recently appeared in The Journal of Biological Chemistry, where they noted that a bacterial infection can throw off the equilibrium of two key proteins in the lungs and also put patients at risk of a highly lethal acute lung injury (ALI).. As Stephen M. Black explained in a recent press release, "Bacteria can alter a single amino acid in the protein RhoA, pushing its activity level well above that of Rac1 and prompting blood vessels to leak and flood thousands of tiny air sacs in the lungs." Fortunately there might be a biological shield that is able to protect RhoA from potentially lethal alterations.. Stephen M. Black compared activation of RhoA to a rapid-fire gun that does not require the operator to pause and reload. As he explained, "Activation of RhoA is an early, early event and it is a pathological activation. The cell cannot regulate it ...

|i|α|/i|-Mangostin (MAN) is a bioactive xanthone isolated from mangosteen. This study was designed to investigate its therapeutic effects on acute lung injury (ALI) and explore the underlying mechanisms of action. Rats from treatment groups were subject to oral administration of MAN for 3 consecutive days beforehand, and then ALI was induced in all the rats except for normal controls via an intraperitoneal injection with lipopolysaccharide. The severity of disease was evaluated by histological examination and hematological analysis. Protein expressions in tissues and cells were examined with immunohistochemical and immunoblotting methods, respectively. The levels of cytokines and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) were determined using ELISA and colorimetric kits, respectively. It was found that MAN treatment significantly improved histological conditions, reduced leucocytes counts, relieved oxidative stress, and declined TNF-|i|α|/i| levels in ALI rats.

The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a form of severe acute lung injury (ALI) characterized by hypoxemic respiratory failure (the lungs are unable to absorb oxygen to the arterial blood) and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema (accumulation of fluid in the lungs). The syndrome may be caused by direct or indirect injury to the lungs. It is associated with a mortality rate of up to 40-50%. There are no marketed pharmacologic therapies for this devastating syndrome.. This study aims to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamics of GSK2586881, a recombinant human angiotensin converting enzyme type 2 (rhACE2).. ACE2 is involved in the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS), which controls blood pressure, electrolytes and intravascular fluid volume. A key function of rhACE2 is believed to be the cleavage of Angiotensin II (Ang II) to Ang (1-7), which have opposing physiological roles. Elevated levels of Ang II are associated with vasoconstriction, inflammation, fibrosis, vascular leak, and ...

Acute lung injury (ALI) is an example of a critical care syndrome with limited treatment options once the condition is fully established.Not surprisingly, many treatments targeting the mechanisms identified in preclinical studies have failed to improve patient outcomes.The most likely reason could be due to inadequate and delayed recognition of patients at risk and the subsequent development of the full blown syndrome.ALI/ARDS usually develops during the first hours of ICU admission, and often is the very reason for ICU admission.. Clinical prediction models have been extensively used in the clinical practice to identify patients at high risks who may benefit from specific interventions. However, no such tool exists to predict the development of ALI in patients at risk. We have recently developed an ALI prediction model (Lung Injury Prediction Score:LIPS)which incorporates demographic, environmental and clinical characteristics at the time of, and before, hospital admission. If validated, this ...

The role of inducible nitric oxide synthase in macrophage activation following acute lung injuryThe role of inducible nitric oxide synthase in macrophage activation following acute lung injury
DescriptionMacrophage origin and activity is complex in response to acute lung injury. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) has a divergent role in the stages following intratracheal bleomycin mediated lung injury (ITB). We hypothesize iNOS is necessary for macrophage activation during the inflammatory and resolution phases that follow ITB. Further, recruited macrophages classically activate during inflammation and resident macrophages alternatively activate during resolution. To test these hypotheses, iNOS was manipulated via scavenge of products, systemic selective iNOS inhibition and chimeric mice in which particular populations were NOS2-/-. C57/BL6 mice were intratracheally instilled with bleomycin and samples collected 8 and 15 days following instillation. This work identified oxidants to promote inflammation during the early stages following ITB. Systemic iNOS inhibition reduced classical activation of recruited macrophages during inflammation and alternative activation of recruited ...

How the inflammation is resolved remains elusive. Here we report that the transcription factor Miz1 was required for terminating lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation. Genetic disruption of the Miz1 POZ domain, which is essential for the transactivation or repression activity of Miz1, resulted in hyperinflammation, lung injury and greater mortality in LPS-treated mice but a lower bacterial load and mortality in mice with ...
Restricting calories early on does not help acute lung injury patients on ventilators - Healthcanal.com : Healthcanal.comRestricting calories early on does not help acute lung injury patients on ventilators - Healthcanal.com : Healthcanal.com
Acute lung injury patients on ventilators who require a feeding tube have a similar number of ventilator-free hospital days and similar mortality rates if they receive a low-calorie feeding program initially followed by a full-calorie program compared to a full-calorie program right away. These results are part of a new clinical study funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health.. The patients in the low-calorie, or delayed, feeding program received about 400 calories per day for the first six days before advancing to a full feeding program. The patients enrolled in the full feeding program were advanced as quickly as they could tolerate to a full daily calorie and protein goal based on weight (averaging about 1,300 calories per day).. "The appropriate feeding protocol for mechanically ventilated patients is an important practical question that has been debated in intensive care units for decades," said Susan B. Shurin, M.D., acting ...

To evaluate the impact of acute lung inflammation on tumor metastasis, the authors combined two well-established acute infection models, the LPS-induced acute lung injury/inflammation (ALI) and the DH5α bacterial pneumonia, with experimental metastasis models in mice. Both tail vein injection and an orthotopic tumor cell model resulted in enhanced lung metastasis in mice with bacterial lung infections. These findings potentially have broad applicability for the treatment of metastasis in cancers of different histologic origin because melanoma, lung, prostate, and colorectal cancer cell lines were all evaluated in this study.. The mechanistic basis for bacterial-induced tumor cell recruitment to the lungs was investigated in a series of assays using bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from control, LPS-, or bacteria-injected mice. Yan and colleagues observed increased migration of CXCR4+ tumor cells toward the BALF from infected mice. Because LPS itself was not found to be responsible for the ...

Dr. Summers laboratory focuses on lung metabolism and understanding how local and systemic metabolic derangements contribute to the onset and progression of lung diseases.. One major area of investigation is on the relationship between obesity and acute lung injury. Recent epidemiological studies indicate a paradoxical relationship exists between obesity and acute lung injury, in that, obese individuals are at increased risk for developing acute lung injury but outcomes in established disease are improved when compared to lean patients. In these investigations, Dr. Summers laboratory is utilizing genetic and diet-induced obesity models to understand how injury and inflammatory responses differ during obesity. These studies aim to direct future clinical investigations focusing on the prevention and the treatment of acute lung injury in lean and obese subjects.. In related studies, Dr. Summers laboratory is investigating the association between hormonal responses from adipose tissue and ...

Lung acute and chronic infections are the most common infections in humans (11, 20, 21) Tumor metastasis is the major cause for cancer-related death (6, 7). Although chronic inflammation has been identified as one of the hallmarks of cancer (38) and has been shown to be causative and/or promoting in many cancers, the effects of acute lung infection on tumor metastatic potential have not been directly tested previously. The LPS ALI model is not new: The major infiltrated immune cell type has been identified (24), cytokines induced by LPS have been identified, and gene expression analyses using the ALI model have been conducted (39, 40). Here we have combined two different acute lung infection models with a tumor lung metastasis model and showed clear and dramatic enhancement by both bacteria and LPS on lung metastasis of mouse tumor cells representing four different types of cancer. In addition, we tested two reagents, AM3100 and AMO, for their ability to block the enhancement. These results have ...

Dr. Wiener-Kronish has devoted much of her academic career to investigating the mechanism of acute lung injury produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a gram negative bacterium that can infect patients in the intensive care unit. Her past research focused on the mechanism of pleural fluid formation during acute lung injury, how toxins produced by Pseudomonascause acute lung injury, and the production of humanized antibodies that will block these products. Most recently, she has investigated the epidemiology of bacterial communities in asthmatics, critically ill patients and in young, newly colonized patients with cystic fibrosis. The goal of her research is to establish whether there are beneficial communities of bacteria that protect patients against asthma and infections. Dr. Wiener-Kronish is working with oral biologists and environmental scientists to utilize molecular identification of bacteria for these investigations.. ...
Resolution of acute lung injury and inflammation: a translational mouse model | European Respiratory SocietyResolution of acute lung injury and inflammation: a translational mouse model | European Respiratory Society
Although multiple potential molecular targets have been identified and shown to be effective in animal models of ALI, none has yet translated to clinical benefit for patients with ALI/ARDS. One of the major pitfalls to translation from bench to bedside is the diversity of animal models that do not fully reproduce human conditions. Indeed, recent reviews have highlighted the features required to optimally model ALI/ARDS, and that no current animal model replicates the complexities of this devastating disorder [3, 4, 15]. In this study, we describe a mouse model of ALI/ARDS induced by bilateral instillation of acid, which we believe represents a significant step forward in terms of reproducing the vast majority of the main pathophysiological hallmarks of clinical ALI/ARDS.. The primary goal of the current study was to develop a model that induced substantial injury but had low mortality over time, allowing investigation into the resolution/repair processes from this highly injured baseline. ...
ADAR1 Is Involved in the Development of Microvascular Lung Injury | Circulation ResearchADAR1 Is Involved in the Development of Microvascular Lung Injury | Circulation Research
The most significant finding of this study is that the expression and activity of the RNA editase ADAR1 is upregulated in lungs subjected to endotoxin-induced microvascular injury and in alveolar macrophages stimulated with endotoxin, live bacteria, or IFN. These findings implicate for the first time RNA editing as a possible inflammatory event. Specifically, the data suggest that A-to-I RNA editing is involved in the pathogenic mechanisms that lead to acute lung injury. Another significant finding is that ADAR1 is expressed in sham mouse lungs, which was previously demonstrated only in the rat.8 The sequence of early production of IFN, a known inducer of ADAR1,12 followed by ADAR1 expression and development of microvascular lung injury, suggests that A-to-I RNA editing may be a proximal event in the inflammatory cascade involved in the pathogenesis of microvascular lung injury. Furthermore, it is conceivable that early induction of pulmonary IFN during the inflammatory process could be the ...

In the current study, administration of 20E resulted in a decrease of the alveolar cell damage and decline of the TNF-α, IL-2, IL-6 and IL-8 expression in the ALI mice, which suggested a protective-role of 20E against LPS injury is closely associated with suppression of TNF-α, IL-2, IL-6 and IL-8 production. Inflammation cascade is initiated by the innate immune system, in which TNF-α, IL-2, IL-6 and IL-8 play a key role in the inflammatory response [13]. Generally, inflammatory response is taken as a direct pathogenic-signal in ALI [14]. It has been demonstrated that the over-expression of these pro-inflammatory mediators contribute to ALI or lung cancer [15]. Thus, down-regulation of TNF-α, IL-2, IL-6 and IL-8 expression derived from 20E is beneficial in reducing the lung damage of mice. Similar studies are also reported in ALI cases. Administration of dexamethasone-21-acetate can dramatically reduce the concentration of cytokines TNF-α, IL-2, IL-6 against the damage of LPS on lung [16]. ...

Pulmonary EC dysfunction, as characterized by parenchymal edema caused by neutrophil extravasation, is a major feature of ALI/ARDS (14, 51). Pulmonary injury at the capillary EC barrier is observed with increased gaps between cells and increased permeability (5). Injury induced by LPS in mice has been shown to be consistent with sepsis-induced ALI (1, 32).. LPS is a component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. LPS is an endotoxin and induces strong responses from the immune systems of healthy animals (32). The effects of LPS are exerted through the generation and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. These substances cause lung inflammation, as well as the subsequent edema and injury in lungs that occur in ALI/ARDS (2, 28, 39). We evaluated the effects of LPS-induced inflammation and vascular leakage over time. We observed significant increases in lung permeability in our LPS-generated model of lung injury. Extravasation of EBDA into lung tissue and protein into BALF was ...

Lung infections account for a tremendous burden of disease, representing the most frequent cause of infection-related deaths and a common cause of acute lung injury. The innate immune response is critical for the prevention of lower respiratory tract infections. Yet, this response must be tightly regulated, such that adequate host defenses do not result in inflammatory lung injury.. Our long-term goal is to elucidate intra- and extra-pulmonary signaling events required for an immune response that is both effective and balanced. The local response to lung infections includes neutrophil recruitment, expression of soluble mediators such as cytokines, and the extravasation of plasma constituents from the vascular space into the alveolar space. The result is an inflammatory milieu and cellular composition that promotes local immune responsiveness. This physiologic transition within the lung, however, occurs in tandem with a systemic acute phase response (APR), typified by altered circulating levels ...

This study by the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network supports the use of low tidal volumes in acute lung injury and ARDS, and is consistent with a previous trial.1 It differs from 3 previous negative trials2-4 by having a larger difference in tidal volumes between groups, and by having a more aggressive approach to correcting acidosis. This study provides important information about tidal volume size; however, further research is still needed to determine the importance of concurrent strategies such as positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP).. In this study, an equation based on sex and height was used to calculate a predicted body weight, which was then used to set tidal volumes. Obesity is a common problem; the use of measured body weight can inadvertently lead to the use of high tidal volume ventilation. Tidal volumes should be based on ideal versus measured body weight.. This information is relevant to nurses who care for mechanically ventilated patients. Through continuous ...

N2 - The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays an important role for the maintenance of cellular processes and functions in the body. However, the excessive generation of oxygen radicals under pathological conditions such as acute lung injury (ALI) and its most severe form acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) leads to increased endothelial permeability. Within this hallmark of ALI and ARDS, vascular microvessels lose their junctional integrity and show increased myosin contractions that promote the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and the transition of solutes and fluids in the alveolar lumen. These processes all have a redox component, and this chapter focuses on the role played ...
Transfusion-related acute lung injury - Cancer Therapy AdvisorTransfusion-related acute lung injury - Cancer Therapy Advisor
Although the etiology of TRALI has not been fully delineated, two hypotheses have been postulated. The antibody-mediated hypothesis proposes that antibodies react with a corresponding antigen triggering capillary leak. Identified antibodies include antibodies to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and II antigens and human neutrophil antigen (HNA). In this hypothesis, antibodies bind to recipient neutrophils. The antibody bound neutrophils are then sequestered in the lungs where activation of complement results in endothelial damage, capillary leak, and ALI. In most of these cases, the antibody is found in the donor with the corresponding antigen identified on the recipients neutrophils. Most donors associated with cases of TRALI are multiparous women who become alloimmunized during pregnancy. One notable case supporting the antibody mediated hypothesis describes a patient who underwent lung transplantation and developed dyspnea and hypoxia after receiving a transfusion of two units of packed ...

Authors: Wang, Bing , Wu, Bin , Ran, Yan-Ni Article Type: Research Article Abstract: OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore whether positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) guided by esophageal pressure is better than the acute respiratory distress syndrome network (ARDSNet) during the treatment of traumatic acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. SUGGESTIONS: The use of the oxygenation method of inhaled oxygen concentration titration PEEP is suggested. METHODS: This study takes traumatic ARDS patients as the research object. The data of 23 patients were included in this study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: the esophageal pressure titration PEEP group (n = …12), and the ARDSNet (PEEP-FiO 2 table) titration PEEP group (n = 11). All patients were given mechanical ventilation, and changes in oxygenation index, respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics and inflammatory reaction index were recorded when titrating the best PEEP with the two methods on the current day of ...

The overall aim of the present thesis was to study aspects of patient safety in critically ill patients with special focus on airway management, respiratory complications and nursing procedures. Study I describes a method called pharyngeal oxygen administration during intubation in an experimental acute lung injury model. The study showed that pharyngeal oxygenation prevented or considerably increased the time to life-threatening hypoxemia at shunt fractions by at least up to 25% and that this technique could be implemented in airway algorithms for the intubation of hypoxemic patients. In study II, we investigated short-term disconnection of the expiratory circuit from the ventilator during filter exchange in critically ill patients. We demonstrated that when using pressure modes in the ventilator, there was no indication of any significant deterioration in the patients lung function. A bench test suggests that this result is explained by auto-triggering with high inspiratory flows during the ...
VIDEO: Reducing TRALI Risk - Transfusion NewsVIDEO: Reducing TRALI Risk - Transfusion News
Today we will be discussing TRALI, or transfusion-related acute lung injury. TRALI accounts for almost half of all transfusion-related fatalities in the United States.. Although several mechanisms exist, one of the major causes of TRALI is donor antibodies to white blood cells, such as human leukocyte antigen and human neutrophil antigen, or commonly referred to as HLA and HNA.. Dr. AuBuchon who wrote an editorial in TRANSFUSION comments:. "Blood collectors in the United States have taken steps over the last half-dozen years to reduce the risk of TRALI through plasma, and, in many cases, also apheresis platelets. This has primarily involved women who have previously been pregnant, either deferring the use of their plasma or testing them to identify those lacking HLA antibodies. These steps have resulted in a reduction of TRALI risk by about three-quarters.". Dr. Vandekerckhove and his colleagues in Belgium screened 77 male plateletpheresis donors with a history of transfusions and 942 female ...

No benefit from using pulmonary artery catheters to guide treatment of acute lung injury | ThoraxNo benefit from using pulmonary artery catheters to guide treatment of acute lung injury | Thorax
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a prevalent and devastating condition in the intensive care unit. Although pulmonary artery catheters (PAC) provide clinicians with important data about a patients haemodynamic status, doubts about their clinical benefit and worries about safety have raised questions about their usefulness. This study was designed to address this issue, with 1000 patients recruited in 20 North American centres. Patients were recruited after being diagnosed with ALI and were managed haemodynamically according to a standardised management protocol. 513 patients were randomised to have a PAC and 487 to have a standard central venous catheter (CVC).. Both the PAC and CVC groups had similar rates of death during the first 60 days (27.4% and 26.3% respectively, p = 0.69). Mean (SE) ventilator-free days were also similar (13.2 (0.5) and 13.5 (0.5), p = 0.58), as were the number of days not spent in the intensive care unit up to day 28 (12.0 (0.4) and 12.5 (0.5), p = 0.40).

Acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute lung injury | Postgraduate Medical JournalAcute respiratory distress syndrome and acute lung injury | Postgraduate Medical Journal
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life threatening respiratory failure due to lung injury from a variety of precipitants. Pathologically ARDS is characterised by diffuse alveolar damage, alveolar capillary leakage, and protein rich pulmonary oedema leading to the clinical manifestation of poor lung compliance, severe hypoxaemia, and bilateral infiltrates on chest radiograph. Several aetiological factors associated with the development of ARDS are identified with sepsis, pneumonia, and trauma with multiple transfusions accounting for most cases. Despite the absence of a robust diagnostic definition, extensive epidemiological investigations suggest ARDS remains a significant health burden with substantial morbidity and mortality. Improvements in outcome following ARDS over the past decade are in part due to improved strategies of mechanical ventilation and advanced support of other failing organs. Optimal treatment involves judicious fluid management, protective lung ventilation with ...

Mechanisms of imporvement following functional inhibition of nitrosative stress after brun and smoke-induced acute lung injuryMechanisms of imporvement following functional inhibition of nitrosative stress after brun and smoke-induced acute lung injury
Severe trauma, caused by flame burn and smoke (B + S) inhalation induces acute lung injury (ALI) and results in the loss of pulmonary function. A cascade of molecular and cellular events initiates the formation of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) that in turn drives an inflammatory response and consequently cell death through hyper-activation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP-1). The purpose of this study was to investigate and counteract pulmonary dysfunction associated with nitrosative stress generated after B + S inhalation injury in an ovine and murine model of ALI. \r\nIn our time course experiment, sheep were sacrificed at 4, 8, 12, 18 and 24 hours post B + S injury. From 4 through 24 hours, there was a progressive increase in airway obstruction and lung edema formation. Furthermore, injury was associated with increased ROS/RNS generation, pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and neutrophil accumulation. Additionally, PARP-1 enzymatic activity increased in parallel with ...
Pathological Study on the Role of Thymoquinone in Experimentally Induced Acute Lung Injury in RatsPathological Study on the Role of Thymoquinone in Experimentally Induced Acute Lung Injury in Rats
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in humans and animals. In traditional and modern medicines, Nigella sativa extract, thymoquinone (TQ) has several benefits. Here, we examined the counter effects of TQ in ALI induced by Lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Tissue sections and serum samples were collected from the following groups of rats: i) none treated control, ii) TQ only, iii) intratracheally (I.T) installed with LPS 200 µg/rat once, iv) TQ protected received intraperitoneally (I.P) 1 mg/rat for one week. Samples were subjected to histopathology, immunohistochemistry, ELISA and electron microscopy. TQ-treated rats revealed reduction in peribronchial, perivascular and interstitial inflammatory edema, thickening of interalveolar septa, inflammatory exudates in the lumens of airways and alveoli, hypertrophied smooth muscles of pulmonary blood vessels and airways and hyperplasia of bronchial associated lymphoid tissue (BALT). Electron microscopy revealed highly activated

In this study, we designed and synthesized 48 CAPE derivatives and evaluated their anti-inflammatory activities in mouse primary peritoneal macrophages (MPMs) activated by LPS. The most active compound, 10s, was found to bind with MD2 with high affinity, which prevented formation of the LPS/MD2/TLR4 complex. The binding mode of 10s revealed that the major interactions with MD2 were established via two key hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. Furthermore, 10s showed remarkable protective effects against LPS-caused ALI (acute lung injury) in vivo ...

Hyperoxia causes miR-34a-mediated injury via angiopoietin-1 in neonata by Mansoor Syed, Pragnya Das et al."Hyperoxia causes miR-34a-mediated injury via angiopoietin-1 in neonata" by Mansoor Syed, Pragnya Das et al.
Hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury (HALI) is a key contributor to the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in neonates, for which no specific preventive or therapeutic agent is available. Here we show that lung micro-RNA (miR)-34a levels are significantly increased in lungs of neonatal mice exposed to hyperoxia. Deletion or inhibition of miR-34a improves the pulmonary phenotype and BPD-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in BPD mouse models, which, conversely, is worsened by miR-34a overexpression. Administration of angiopoietin-1, which is one of the downstream targets of miR34a, is able to ameliorate the BPD pulmonary and PAH phenotypes. Using three independent cohorts of human samples, we show that miR-34a expression is increased in type 2 alveolar epithelial cells in neonates with respiratory distress syndrome and BPD. Our data suggest that pharmacologic miR-34a inhibition may be a therapeutic option to prevent or ameliorate HALI/BPD in neonates.

  • IRV is a strategy (method or style) of ventilating the lungs in such a way that the amount of time the lungs are in inhalation is greater than the amount of time they are in exhalation, allowing for a constant inflation of the lungs, ensuring they remain "recruited" (meaning they participate in gas exchange and are not allowed to deflate to get stuck together or tighten up). (wikipedia.org)
  • Tidal volume (symbol VT or TV) is the lung volume representing the normal volume of air displaced between normal inhalation and exhalation when extra effort is not applied. (wikipedia.org)
  • Acute inhalation injury may result from frequent and widespread use of household cleaning agents and industrial gases (including chlorine and ammonia). (wikipedia.org)
  • The airways and lungs receive continuous first-pass exposure to non-toxic and irritant or toxic gases via inhalation. (wikipedia.org)
  • The September 11 attacks in 2001 and forest fires in U.S. states such as California and Nevada are examples of incidents that have caused smoke inhalation injury. (wikipedia.org)
  • Polymer fume fever or fluoropolymer fever, also informally called Teflon flu, is an inhalation fever caused by the fumes released when polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, known under the trade name Teflon) reaches temperatures of 300 °C (572 °F) to 450 °C (842 °F). When PTFE is heated above 450 °C the pyrolysis products are different and inhalation may cause acute lung injury. (wikipedia.org)

  • While alpha-enolase was universally expressed, gamma-enolase was expressed only in damaged lung tissues. (springer.com)
  • Gamma-enolase was detected in lung tissues, BALF, and serum as early as 3 h post-surgery when physical pathological damage was not apparent. (springer.com)
  • Meanwhile, it attenuated the wet/dry (W/D) ratio in the lung tissues. (springer.com)
  • Arterial blood, pancreas, lung, and intestinal tissues were collected for detecting the inflammatory factors and histopathology. (hindawi.com)
  • While it was originally proposed that NETs would be formed in tissues at a site of bacterial/yeast infection, NETs have also been shown to form within blood vessels during sepsis (specifically in the lung capillaries and liver sinusoids). (wikipedia.org)
  • The lung is the main site of SFTPA2 synthesis, but SFTPA2 mRNA expression has also been detected in the trachea, prostate, pancreas, thymus, colon, eye, salivary gland and other tissues. (wikipedia.org)
  • In medicine, it refers to excess oxygen in the lungs or other body tissues, which can be caused by breathing air or oxygen at pressures greater than normal atmospheric pressure. (wikipedia.org)
  • Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to infection causes injury to its own tissues and organs. (wikipedia.org)

  • Survivors of acute lung injury (ALI) frequently have substantial depressive symptoms and physical impairment, but the longitudinal epidemiology of these conditions remains unclear. (pubmedcentralcanada.ca)
  • Survivors of acute lung injury (ALI) frequently have substantial depressive symptoms and impaired physical function after hospital discharge, but the longitudinal epidemiology and risk factors for these conditions have not been fully evaluated. (pubmedcentralcanada.ca)
  • Survivors of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI) and other critical illnesses frequently have substantial depressive symptoms and impaired physical functioning, with associated decrements in quality of life ( 1 - 9 ). (pubmedcentralcanada.ca)
  • Symptoms seen in acute lung injury include severe shortness of breath, confusion, low blood pressure, and extreme tiredness. (emailwire.com)
  • Venesection is used in severe secondary polycythemia (because of hypoxia), which improves symptoms though survival rate has not been proven to increase.Finally, transplantation of single/double lung in extreme cases of cor pulmonale is also an option. (wikipedia.org)
  • It is a type of acute coronary syndrome, which describes a sudden or short-term change in symptoms related to blood flow to the heart. (wikipedia.org)
