Although ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) often develops after prolonged mechanical ventilation in normal lungs, pulmonary disorders may aggravate the development of adverse symptoms. VILI exaggeration can be anticipated in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) due to its adverse pulmonary consequences. Therefore, we determined whether T2DM modulates VILI and evaluated how T2DM therapy affects adverse pulmonary changes. Rats were randomly assigned into the untreated T2DM group receiving low-dose streptozotocin with high-fat diet (T2DM, = 8), T2DM group supplemented with metformin therapy (MET, = 8), and control group (CTRL, = 8). In each animal, VILI was induced by mechanical ventilation for 4 h with high tidal volume (23 ml/kg) and low positive end-expiratory pressure (0 cmHO). Arterial and venous blood samples were analyzed to measure the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO), oxygen saturation (SaO), and the intrapulmonary shunt fraction (Qs/Qt). Airway and respiratory tissue mechanics were evaluated by forced oscillations. Lung histology samples were analyzed to determine injury level. Significant worsening of VILI, in terms of PaO, SaO, and Qs/Qt, was observed in the T2DM group, without differences in the respiratory mechanics. These functional changes were also reflected in lung injury score. The MET group showed no difference compared with the CTRL group. Gas exchange impairment without significant mechanical changes suggests that untreated diabetes exaggerates VILI by augmenting the damage of the alveolar-capillary barrier. Controlled hyperglycemia with metformin may reduce the manifestations of respiratory defects during prolonged mechanical ventilation.

Identification of serum tRNA-derived small RNAs biosignature for diagnosis of tuberculosis.

Emerg Microbes Infect

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Jiangxi Province for Transfusion Medicine, Department of Blood Transfusion, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi 330006, China.

The tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are a new class of non coding RNAs, which are stable in body fluids and can be used as potential biomarkers for disease diagnosis. However, the exact value of tsRNAs in the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) is still unclear. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the performance of the serum tsRNAs biosignature to distinguish between active TB, healthy controls, latent TB infection, and other respiratory diseases.

Background: Chemical-induced acute lung injury is characterized by impaired epithelial regenerative capacity, leading to acute pulmonary edema. Numerous studies have investigated the therapeutic potential of endogenous stem cells with particular emphasis on alveolar type 2 epithelial (AEC2) cells owing to their involvement in lung cell renewal. Sox9, a transcription factor known for its role in maintaining stem cell properties and guiding cell differentiation, marks a subset of AEC2 cells believed to contribute to epithelial repair.

Oxidative stress and inflammatory dysregulation play crucial roles in pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI), and their cyclic synergy drives excessive inflammatory responses and further exacerbates ALI. Therefore, new effective strategies to treat ALI are urgently needed. Herein, a novel synergistic selenium based chlorogenic acid nanoparticle was developed to disrupt the cyclic synergistic effect between oxidative stress and inflammatory response in ALI.

Background: Acute lung injury and acute respiratory failure are frequent complications of cardiogenic shock and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Even with increased use of temporary mechanical circulatory support, such as venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), acute lung injury related to cardiogenic shock continues to have a determinantal effect on patient outcomes.

Objectives: To summarize potential mechanisms of acute lung injury described in patients with cardiogenic shock supported by VA-ECMO and determine current knowledge gaps.
