There is an increasing interest in biphasic positive airway pressure with spontaneous breathing (BIPAP+SBmean), which is a combination of time-cycled controlled breaths at two levels of continuous positive airway pressure (BIPAP+SBcontrolled) and non-assisted spontaneous breathing (BIPAP+SBspont), in the early phase of acute lung injury (ALI). However, pressure support ventilation (PSV) remains the most commonly used mode of assisted ventilation. To date, the effects of BIPAP+SBmean and PSV on regional lung aeration and ventilation during ALI are only poorly defined.

    We demonstrated that human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells treated with recombinant human CCL19 could obviously upregulate the expression of Sp1 and heparanase at both the mRNA and protein levels. After blockage of CCR7, Sp1 and heparanase expressions were inhibited. Following inhibition of Sp1, hepa...

    We tested the hypothesis that GzmB expression in Tregs is required for control of inflammatory responses and pathology during acute lung injury. To substantiate the clinical relevance of GzmB during lung injury, we performed GzmB immunohistochemistry on lung tissue from acute respiratory distress sy...

    We investigated in 88 COPD patients and 55 control subjects (80% ex-smokers) the association of the plasma protein-bound AGEs N(ε)- (carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), pentosidine, N(ε)-(carboxyethyl)lysine (CEL) and AGE accumulation in skin by skin auto fluorescence (AFR) with lung function. Plasma CML...
