Objective: To investigate whether the release of lipid mediators is suppressed in rats with experimentally induced acute lung injury managed with partial liquid ventilation (PLV) using FC-77.
Design: Prospective, randomized controlled study.
Setting: Research laboratory in a university.
Subjects: Male Sprague-Dawley rats.
Interventions: After tracheostomy was performed under general anesthesia, lung injury was induced by intratracheal instillation of HCl. The PLV group was then subjected to conventional gas ventilation for 30 mins, followed by PLV using FC-77. The control group was subjected to conventional gas ventilation throughout the study period.
Measurements And Main Results: In the PLV group the following results were obtained: a) impaired oxygenation was markedly improved; b) the increase in the serum levels of lipid mediators such as leukotriene B4, thromboxane A2, and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1alpha was suppressed; and c) the increase in the concentrations of leukotriene B4, thromboxane A2, and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1alpha in the total lung homogenate at 180 mins after lung injury was also suppressed.
Conclusion: This study indicates that PLV using FC-77 suppresses the release of lipid mediators in our rat model of acute lung injury. However, further investigation is needed to clarify the precise mechanism of this effect.

Bioimpedance Measurements of Fibrotic and Acutely Injured Lung Tissues.

In injured and diseased tissues, changes in molecular and cellular compositions, as well as tissue architecture, lead to alterations in both physiological and physical characteristics. Notably, the electrical properties of tissues, which can be characterized as bioelectrical impedance (bioimpedance), are closely linked to the health and pathological conditions of the tissues. This highlights the significant role of quantitatively characterizing these electrical properties in improving the accuracy and speed of diagnosis and prognosis.

Background: The hypobaric hypoxic atmosphere can cause adverse reactions or sickness. The purpose of this study was to explore the preventive effect and mechanism of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) on acute pathological injury in mice exposed to high-altitude.
Methods: We pretreated C57BL/6 mice with hUC-MSCs via the tail vein injection, and then the mice were subjected to hypobaric hypoxic conditions for five days.

The anti-inflammatory role of miR-23b-3p (miR-23b) is known in autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis. However, its role in sepsis-related acute lung injury (ALI) and its effect on macrophages in ALI remain unexplored. This investigation aimed to evaluate miR-23b's therapeutic potential in macrophages in the context of ALI.

Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) represents a spectrum of potentially fatal conditions that currently lack effective drug treatment. Recent researches suggest that Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21) may protect against ALI/ARDS. However, the clinical use of FGF21 is limited by its rapid degradation, restricted targeting capabilities, and numerous adverse effects.
