We investigated the effects of recruitment maneuvers on subpleural alveolar area in healthy rats. 36 mechanically ventilated rats were allocated to either ZEEP-group or PEEP - 5cmH2O - group. The subpleural alveoli were observed using a transthoracal endoscopic imaging technique. Two consecutive low-flow maneuvers up to 30cmH2O peak pressure each were performed, interrupted by 5s plateau phases at four different pressure levels. Alveolar area change at maneuver peak pressures and during the plateau phases was calculated and respiratory system compliance before and after the maneuvers was analyzed. In both groups alveolar area at the second peak of the maneuver did not differ significantly compared to the first peak. During the plateau phases there was a slight increase in alveolar area. After the maneuvers, compliance increased by 30% in ZEEP group and 20% in PEEP group. We conclude that the volume insufflated by the low-flow recruitment maneuver is distributed to deeper but not to subpleural lung regions.

Objective: Abaloparatide (ABL) is a synthetic parathyroid hormone-related protein analog developed as an anabolic drug to treat osteoporosis. ABL increases bone mineral density (BMD) of the long bones and spine; however, the influence of ABL on alveolar bone regeneration remains unknown. This study assessed the effects of systemic ABL administration on tooth extraction socket healing and dental implant osseointegration in a preclinical rodent model.

Current fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) studies primarily focus on alcohol's actions on the fetal brain although respiratory infections are a leading cause of morbidity/mortality in newborns. The limited studies examining the pulmonary adaptations in FASD demonstrate decreased surfactant protein A and alveolar macrophage phagocytosis, impaired differentiation, and increased risk of Group B streptococcal pneumonia with no study examining sexual dimorphism in adaptations. We hypothesized that developmental alcohol exposure in pregnancy will lead to sexually dimorphic fetal lung morphological and immune adaptations.

Introduction And Aims: Implantation of the posterior maxilla with insufficient bone height faces challenges. Studies have shown that the use of ultrashort implants can avoid additional damage. This finite element analysis study aimed to evaluate the impacts of different lengths of ultrashort implants and three surgical approaches on stress, strain, and displacement in the posterior maxilla with varying bone heights.

Introduction: In vitro screening of macrophages for drug-induced effects, such as phospholipidosis, is useful for detecting potentially problematic compounds in the preclinical development of oral inhaled products. High-content image analysis (HCIA) is a multi-parameter approach for cytotoxicity screening. This study provides new insights into HCIA-derived response patterns of murine J774A.

A total of 384 animals (sheep, goat, cattle, and buffalo) were examined for the presence of hydatid cysts only in the lungs. The lung tissue samples associated with the hydatid cyst were collected immediately after slaughter, followed by fixation in 10% formalin. The fixed tissue was subjected to paraffin embedding technique.
