Article Abstract
Objectives: To explore the anti-inflammatory effect and the potential mechanism of dexmedetomidine in ARDS/ALI.
Materials And Methods: C57BL/6 mice and EL-4 cells were used in this research. The ALI model was established by CLP. The level of inflammatory cytokines in the lung and blood, the severity of lung injury, the expression of Foxp3, and the proportion of Tregs were detected before and after dexmedetomidine treatment. The expression of the AMPK/SIRT1 after dexmedetomidine treatment was detected in vivo and in vitro. After blocking the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway or depleting Tregs in vivo, the level of the inflammatory response, tissue injury, and Tregs differentiation were detected again to clarify the effect of dexmedetomidine.
Results: Dexmedetomidine significantly reduced systemic inflammation and lung injury in CLP mice. Dexmedetomidine enhanced the Foxp3 expression in the lungs and the frequency of Tregs in the spleen. Dexmedetomidine up-regulated the protein expression of p-AMPK and SIRT1 in lungs and EL-4 cells and facilitated the differentiation of naïve CD4 T cells into Tregs in vitro. Meanwhile, DEX also increased the expression of Helios in Treg cells.
Conclusions: DEX could improve ARDS/ALI by facilitating the differentiation of Tregs from naïve CD4 T cells via activating the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway.

Sevoflurane Attenuates Acute Lung Injury Following Intestinal Ischemia-Reperfusion via Targeting NLRP3 Inflammasome.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a major contributor to the high morbidity and mortality associated with intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (II/R). Despite its severity, current clinical management of ALI remains limited to supportive care without addressing the cause of the disease, underscoring the urgent need to investigate the underlying mechanism and develop targeted therapies. In this study, we employed both in vitro and in vivo models to explore ALI in the setting of II/R.

Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is a safe and effective therapy with long-established indications in treating T cell-mediated immune diseases, including steroid refractory graft-versus-host disease and chronic rejection after heart or lung transplantation. The ECP procedure involves collecting autologous peripheral blood leucocytes that are driven into apoptosis before being reinfused intravenously. ECP acts primarily through in situ exposure of recipient dendritic cells and macrophages to apoptotic cells, which then suppress inflammation, promote specific regulatory T-cell responses, and retard fibrosis.

Vaping product use-associated lung injury is a recently recognized respiratory illness that can occur in users of e-cigarettes or vaping products, including those marketed as nicotine‑free. We describe a previously healthy, 22‑year‑old male, non‑smoker who presented with progressive shortness of breath, non‑productive cough, pleuritic chest pain, low‑grade fever, and fatigue. He reported daily use of a flavored nicotine‑free vaping device for eight months, with increased use in the preceding month, including cartridges purchased from unregulated online sources.

Virus infection is a common cause of lung injury and can result in lung fibrosis in severe cases. Furthermore, it is a significant trigger of disease exacerbation in patients with lung fibrosis. However, nearly all the case reports or case series to date have focused on the adult population rather than the pediatric population.

Introduction: The advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has changed infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from an acute disease to a manageable chronic condition; however, pulmonary complications continue to affect patient quality of life. The goal of this research was to examine the link between CD4+ levels, viral load, and respiratory function in patients infected with HIV.
Methods: Patients were grouped as HIV-infected and non-infected (1:2 ratio).
