Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common critical illness. Supportive therapy is still the main strategy for ALI/ARDS. Macrophages are the predominant immune cells in the lungs and play a pivotal role in maintaining homeostasis, regulating metabolism, and facilitating tissue repair.

Background: Premature infants are at high risk for neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and secondary infections. This study aims to investigate the association between immunoinflammatory markers-the systemic immune inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), and neutrophil-to-albumin ratio (NAR)-and the risk of developing RDS in premature infants.
Methods: A total of 2164 premature infants were enrolled in this retrospective study.

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a medical condition that affects the lungs and causes scarring due to the deposition of excess fibrotic tissue. This is often preceded by various causes and can lead to long-term health consequences. The treatment of PF using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to correct lung damage and decrease inflammation is a current focus of research.
