Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) has not been demonstrated in human single lung anaesthesia in the lateral decubitus position (LDP). The purpose of this study was to determine whether (1) HPV occurs in the non-dependent, non-ventilated lung, and (2) if the infusion of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) inhibits HPV. During intravenous anaesthesia the tracheas of seven patients were intubated with double lumen endotracheal tubes. Standard monitors plus radial and pulmonary arterial catheters were placed. Patients were positioned in the LDP and haemodynamic and gas exchange data were recorded for each of three stages; I: two-lung ventilation, II: single, dependent lung ventilation (1 LV) and III: 1LV with infusion of SNP. In stage II the PaO2 decreased from 531 +/- 42 mmHg to 285 +/- 42 mmHg (P < 0.05) and Qs/Qt increased from 12.3 +/- 2.7 to 29.0 +/- 6.3% (P < 0.05). With SNP infusion there was a 30% increase in cardiac index (CI) (P < 0.05). The SNP infusion was not associated with changes in Qs/Qt or PaO2. This model demonstrates changes in Qs/Qt and PaO2 associated with single-lung ventilation in ASA I and II patients in the LDP but we were unable to demonstrate inhibition of HPV by SNP.

Lung tissue from human patients and murine models of sickle cell disease pulmonary hypertension (SCD-PH) show perivascular regions with excessive iron accumulation. The iron accumulation arises from chronic hemolysis and extravasation of hemoglobin (Hb) into the lung adventitial spaces, where it is linked to nitric oxide depletion, oxidative stress, inflammation, and tissue hypoxia, which collectively drive SCD-PH. Here, we tested the hypothesis that intrapulmonary delivery of hemopexin (Hpx) to the deep lung is effective at scavenging heme-iron and attenuating the progression of SCD-PH.

Pulmonary hypertension associated with lung diseases and/or hypoxia is classified as group 3 in the clinical classification of pulmonary hypertension. The efficacy of existing selective pulmonary vasodilators for group 3 pulmonary hypertension is still unknown, and it is currently associated with a poor prognosis. The mechanisms by which pulmonary hypertension occurs include hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, pulmonary vascular remodeling, a decrease in pulmonary vascular beds, endothelial dysfunction, endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), inflammation, microRNA, and genetic predisposition.

Metastatic cancer accounts for most cancer-related deaths, and identifying specific molecular targets that contribute to metastatic progression is crucial for the development of effective treatments. Hypoxia, a feature of solid tumors, plays a role in cancer progression by inducing resistance to therapy and accelerating metastasis. Here, we report that CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBPβ) transcriptionally regulates () and thus promotes migration and invasion of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells under hypoxic conditions.

L-citrulline (L-CIT), a precursor to L-arginine (L-ARG), is a key contributor to the nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathway. Endothelial dysfunction, characterized by deficient nitric oxide synthesis, is implicated in the pathogenesis of various neonatal conditions such as necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) associated pulmonary hypertension (PH). This review summarizes the current evidence around the possible role of L-CIT supplementation in the treatment of these conditions.

Introduction: While there is evidence supporting the use of ultrasound for real-time monitoring of primary blast lung injury (PBLI), uncertainties remain regarding the timely detection of early PBLI and the limited data correlating it with commonly used clinical parameters. Our objective is to develop a functional incapacity model for PBLI that better addresses practical needs and to verify the early diagnostic effectiveness of lung ultrasound in identifying PBLI.
Methods: We selected six healthy male pigs to develop an animal model using a bio-shock tube (BST-I).
