  • The secondary injury refers to neuronal injury that occurs as a result of the many effects that occur as a result of the TBI or other injuries e.g. hypoxia from unconsciousness. (thegasmanhandbook.co.uk)
  • This differentiation is a little simplistic, as it is being recognised that some 'primary injury' continues for a period of time after the actual impact, whilst secondary injury processes may begin to occur nearly straight away. (thegasmanhandbook.co.uk)
  • Finally, hypersensitivity pneumonitis or extrinsic allergic alveolitis is a response of the lung to inhalation of antigens that may be present in the workplace. (nih.gov)
  • Accidental inhalation of waterproofing spray has been reported to cause lung injury (Vernez et al. (springeropen.com)
  • Softer PSLipos-L-NAC could resist macrophage capture, but remarkably prolong their targeting effect period on macrophages via durable binding to macrophage surface, and subsequently more effectively suppress inflammatory response in macrophages and then hasten inflammatory lung epithelial cell wound healing.

  • Especially, pulmonary administration of PSLipos-L-NAC could significantly reduce the inflammatory response of M1-like macrophages in lung tissue and promote lung injury repair in a bleomycin-induced acute lung injury (ALI) mouse model, providing a potential therapeutic approach for ALI.
