As of October 2019, 1299 cases of "e-cigarette, or vaping, product use associated lung injury" (EVALI) have been reported in the USA, with 26 deaths. Multiple patterns of lung injury have been reported, including lipoid pneumonia, organizing pneumonia, and acute eosinophilic pneumonia, with radiographic findings including diffuse pulmonary infiltrates. We report a case of lipoid pneumonia secondary to EVALI. Physicians should be alert to recognizing these patterns of lung injury, as well as emphasizing to patients the importance of e-cigarette cessation.

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor linagliptin reduces inflammatory response, ameliorates tissue edema formation, and improves survival in severe sepsis.
Biomed Pharmacother
December 2024
Department of Research, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami Beach, FL, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Excessive inflammation in sepsis causes microvascular dysfunction associated with organ dysfunction and high mortality. The present studies aimed to examine the therapeutic potential of linagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor in a clinically relevant polymicrobial sepsis model in mice.
Methods: Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).

December 2024
Department of Anesthesiology, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, Shandong, China.
Aims: This study aimed to explore the role and underlying mechanisms of brain-derived exosomes in traumatic brain injury-induced acute lung injury (TBI-induced ALI), with a particular focus on the potential regulation of ferroptosis through miRNAs and Scd1.
Methods: To elucidate TBI-induced ALI, we used a TBI mouse model. Exosomes were isolated from the brains of these mice and characterized using TEM and NTA.
Drive Pressure-Guided Individualized Positive End-Expiratory Pressure in Traumatic Brain Injury Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Ann Ital Chir
December 2024
Department of Anesthesiology, Institute of Anesthesia, Emergency and Critical Care, Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University, 225002 Yangzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Aim: Intraoperative lung-protective ventilation strategies (LPVS) have been shown to improve lung oxygenation and prevent postoperative pulmonary problems in surgical patients. However, the application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-based LPVS in emergency traumatic brain injury (TBI) has not been thoroughly explored. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of drive pressure-guided individualized PEEP on perioperative pulmonary oxygenation, postoperative pulmonary complications, and recovery from neurological injury in patients with TBI.

Department of Oncology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University & Shandong Provincial Qianfoshan Hospital, Shandong Lung Cancer Institute, Jinan, China.
Background: Patients receiving chest radiation therapy, or exposed to high radiation levels due to accidental nuclear leakage are at risk of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI). In innate immunity, macrophages not only exhibit certain radiation tolerance but also play an important regulatory role in the whole pathological process. Nervonic acid (NA), a long-chain unsaturated fatty acid found in nerve tissue, plays a pivotal role in maintaining normal tissue growth and repair.
