Aim: To evaluate the protective effects of apocynin on "two-hit" injury in rats.
Methods: "Two-hit" injury model of rat was induced by hemorrhagic shock (40 mmHg for 45 min) followed by iv administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 150 microg/kg). Rats were randomized into seven groups: Sham, LPS, hemorrhage, hemorrhage/LPS, and hemorrhage/LPS+apocynin (2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 mg/kg). Apocynin was dissolved in the resuscitation fluid (normal saline, NS) and administered iv for 2 h. After LPS or NS administration, the survival rates at 8 h, 16 h, 24 h, and 48 h were monitored. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) was measured in lung at 3 h and 6 h after iv LPS and in serum before hemorrhage, after hemorrhage, and at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6 h after iv LPS. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in lung and liver was examined at 3 h and 6 h after iv LPS/NS.
Results: After "two-hit" injury, the survival rates of rats at 8 h, 16 h, 24 h, and 48 h were 64.3 %, 35.7 %, 28.6 %, and 14.3 % respectively, there were significant differences as compared to sham group (P<0.05 or P<0.01, respectively), the MDA level in lung and serum were significantly enhanced (P<0.01) as compared to sham group, and MPO activity in lung and liver after "two-hit" injury was also significantly increased (P<0.01). Apocynin treatment enhanced the mean arterial pressure (MAP) of hemorrhagic shock rats dose-dependently (P<0.05), increased the survival rate of "two-hit" injury rats, decreased the serum and lung MDA content, and downregulated MPO activity in lung and liver.
Conclusion: Apocynin could preventively ameliorate "two-hit" injury in rats induced by hemorrhagic shock and LPS insult.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiac myosin-specific T cells are important in causing heart problems when treated with certain cancer medications.
- Researchers studied mouse hearts to see how these T cells act and found that they change when there's heart damage.
- They discovered that after recovering from heart injuries, mice became more likely to develop heart issues when given these cancer drugs, and they also found similar T cells in human patients with heart problems.

Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) occurs in 1.5 per 1000 live births, leaving affected children with long-term motor and cognitive deficits. Few animal models of HIE incorporate maternal immune activation (MIA) despite the significant risk MIA poses to HIE incidence and diagnosis.

Transfusion-related lung injury (TRALI) poses a significant risk following blood transfusion and remains the primary cause of transfusion-related morbidity and mortality, primarily driven by the activation of immune cells through anti-major histocompatibility complex class I (anti-MHC I) antibody. However, it remains to be defined how immune microenvironmental cue contributes to TRALI. Here, we uncover that activated mast cells within the immune microenvironment promote lung inflammation and injury in antibody-mediated TRALI, both in vitro and in vivo.

Background: Efficacy of inhaled therapy such as Nitric Oxide (iNO) during mechanical ventilation may depend on airway patency. We hypothesized that airway closure and lung collapse, countered by positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), influence iNO efficacy. This could support the role of an adequate PEEP titration for inhalation therapy.

Background: Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a clinically important measure for respiratory support in critically ill patients. Although moderate tidal volume MV does not cause lung injury, it can further exacerbate lung injury in pathological state such as sepsis. This pathological process is known as the 'two-hit' theory, whereby an initial lung injury (e.
