Abstract
Introduction Early nCPAP seems to prevent ventilator-induced lung injury in humans, although the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this beneficial effect have not been clarified yet. Objective To evaluate plasma levels IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNF-α immediately before the start of nCPAP and 2 hours later in preterm infants. Methods Prospective cohort including preterm infants with 28 to 35 weeks gestational age with moderate respiratory distress requiring nCPAP. Extreme preemies, newborns with malformations, congenital infections, sepsis, surfactant treatment, and receiving ventilatory support in the delivery room were excluded. Blood samples were collected right before and 2 hours after the start of nCPAP. Results 23 preterm infants (birth weight 1851±403 grams; GA 32.3±1.7 weeks) were treated with nCPAP. IL-1β, IL-10, TNF-α levels were similar, IL-8 levels were reduced in 18/23 preterm infants and a significant decrease in IL-6 levels was observed after 2 hours of nCPAP. All newborns whose mothers received antenatal steroids had lower cytokine levels at the onset of nCPAP than those whose mothers didn’t receive it; this effect was not sustained after 2 hours of nCPAP. Conclusion Early use nCPAP is not associated with rising of plasma pro-inflammatory cytokines and it seems to be a less harmful respiratory strategy for preterm with moderate respiratory distress.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) results in high morbidity and mortality among preterm neonates and efforts have therefore been devoted to both antenatal and postnatal prevention of the disease. ALI is the result of an inflammatory response which is triggered by a variety of different mechanisms. It mostly affects the fetal lung and, in particular, causes damage to the integrity of the lung's alveolar-capillary unit while weakening its cellular linings. Chemotactic activity and inflammatory products, such as proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, IL-11, VEGF,TGF-α and TGF-β, provoke serious damage to the capillary endothelium and the alveolar epithelium, resulting in hyaline membrane formation and leakage of protein-rich edema fluid into the alveoli. Chorioamnionitis plays a major part in triggering fetal lung inflammation, while mechanical ventilation, the application of which is frequently necessary in preterm neonates, also causes ALI by inducing proinflammatory cytokines. Many different ventilation-strategies have been developed in order to reduce potential lung injury. Furthermore, tissue injury may occur as a result of injurious oxygen by-products (Reactive Oxygen Species, ROS), secondary to hyperoxia. Knowledge of the inflammatory pathways that connect intra-amniotic inflammation and ALI can lead to the formulation of novel interventional procedures. Future research should concentrate on the pathophysiology of ALI in preterm neonates and οn possible pharmaceutical interventions targeting prevention and/or resolution of ALI.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation can produce lung physiological and morphological alterations termed ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Early experimental studies demonstrated that the main determinant of VILI is lung end-inspiratory volume. The clinical relevance of these experimental findings received resounding confirmation with the results of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) Network study, which showed a 22% reduction in mortality in patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome through a simple reduction in tidal volume. In contrast, the clinical relevance of low lung volume injury remains debated and the application of high positive end-expiratory pressure levels can contribute to lung overdistension and thus be deleterious. The significance of inflammatory alterations observed during VILI is debated and has not translated into clinical application. This review examines seminal experimental studies that led to our current understanding of VILI and contributed to the current recommendations in the respiratory support of ARDS patients.

Abstract
Respiratory morbidity and mortality remain common in preterm infants. The immature preterm lung is especially prone to injury. This process often starts in-utero due to maternal chorioamnionitis, priming the lung for further injury in response to post-natal ventilation, oxygen and nosocomial infection. Pulmonary inflammation has been strongly implicated in the pathway leading to lung injury in this population of infants. Several therapeutic approaches have been attempted to prevent acute lung injury or to limit its progress. The mechanisms of acute lung injury in preterm infants; their clinical correlates and available therapeutic approaches are reviewed here.

Toll-like receptor 4 mediates neutrophil sequestration and lung injury induced by endotoxin and hyperinflation. Crit Care Med 2010; 38:194-201.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To address the role of Toll-like receptor 4 signaling in mediating neutrophil recruitment and lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide challenge coupled to lung hyperinflation, using Toll-like receptor 4 knockout (tlr4) mice. Infiltration of polymorphonuclear neutrophils into the lung is an important feature of ventilator-induced lung injury associated with pneumonia, but the mechanisms involved in neutrophil recruitment are poorly understood. DESIGN Experimental animal model. SETTING University laboratory. SUBJECTS tlr4 and wild-type C57BL/6 mice. INTERVENTIONS Wild-type or tlr4 mice were challenged by intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide (0.3 mg/kg) for 2 hrs and then subjected to normal (7 mL/kg) or high (28 mL/kg) tidal volume ventilation for another 2 hrs. In other studies, neutrophils from wild-type or tlr4 mice were pretreated with lipopolysaccharide for 30 mins and then infused into the isolated lung preparation for 30 mins as the lungs were ventilated with 25 cm H2O peak inspiratory pressure. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Lipopolysaccharide-challenged wild-type mice ventilated with a 28 mL/kg tidal volume exhibited 12-fold increase in neutrophil sequestration, 6-fold increase in bronchoalveolar lavage albumin concentration, and 1.6-fold increase in lung water content compared with unchallenged mice exposed to normal tidal volume ventilation. However, tlr4 mice showed negligible neutrophil sequestration, microvascular barrier breakdown, or edema formation. Mechanical ventilation alone or combined with lipopolysaccharide caused activation of circulating neutrophils and pulmonary endothelium in wild-type mice, whereas this was prevented in tlr4 mice. CONCLUSIONS High tidal volume ventilation during pneumonia/sepsis induces lung neutrophil sequestration and injury via the Toll-like receptor 4-dependent signaling pathway. The results suggest an important role of Toll-like receptor 4 in the mechanism of lung neutrophil sequestration and acute lung injury when pneumonia/sepsis is coupled to lung hyperinflation.

Abstract
Mechanical ventilation, often required to maintain normal gas exchange in critically ill patients, may itself cause lung injury. Lung-protective ventilatory strategies with low tidal volume have been a major success in the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Volutrauma causes mechanical injury and induces an acute inflammatory response. Our objective was to determine whether neutrophil elastase (NE), a potent proteolytic enzyme in neutrophils, would contribute to ventilator-induced lung injury. NE-deficient (NE-/-) and wild-type mice were mechanically ventilated at set tidal volumes (10, 20, and 30 ml/kg) with 0 cm H2O of positive end-expiratory pressure for 3 hours. Lung physiology and markers of lung injury were measured. Neutrophils from wild-type and NE-/- mice were also used for in vitro studies of neutrophil migration, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 cleavage, and endothelial cell injury. Surprisingly, in the absence of NE, mice were not protected, but developed worse ventilator-induced lung injury despite having lower numbers of neutrophils in alveolar spaces. The possible explanation for this finding is that NE cleaves ICAM-1, allowing neutrophils to egress from the endothelium. In the absence of NE, impaired neutrophil egression and prolonged contact between neutrophils and endothelial cells leads to tissue injury and increased permeability. NE is required for neutrophil egression from the vasculature into the alveolar space, and interfering with this process leads to neutrophil-related endothelial cell injury.

Abstract
Inhalation of ambient particulate matter increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Clinical studies play an important role in elucidating mechanisms for pollutant effects, and in establishing ambient air quality standards. Ultrafine particles (UFP; diameter <100 nm) may be important in the cardiovascular effects of ambient PM, yet there are few clinical studies of UFP health effects. Our laboratory has developed an exposure facility for clinical studies of laboratory-generated UFP. We confirmed previous predictions that UFP <50 nm in diameter deposit in the respiratory tract with a high efficiency, and have shown that exercise or the presence of asthma further increases UFP deposition. UFP exposure with exercise reduced expression of selected adhesion molecules on blood leukocytes, and also decreased the pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide. These findings are best explained by UFP effects on pulmonary vascular function. These findings provide a possible mechanism by which inhalation of UFP may contribute to cardiopulmonary health effects in susceptible people.

Abstract
RATIONALE Neutrophils accumulate in pulmonary capillaries during acute inflammation. Initial events in injury recognition and sequestration do not occur through selectin-mediated rolling. Cytoskeletal rearrangements, as assessed by submembrane F-actin rims, result in poorly deformable neutrophils that may not pass through capillaries. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that neutrophils sequestering during pneumonia contain F-actin rims and to determine the roles of CD11/CD18, L-selectin expression, and neutrophil-platelet adhesion in neutrophil sequestration. METHODS Neutrophils were compared in blood obtained simultaneously from venous and arterial sites before and 4 h after instillation of Streptococcus pneumoniae or Escherichia coli in rats. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS At 4 h of pneumonia, the number of neutrophils was greater in the venous blood entering the lungs than in the arterial blood leaving the lungs, indicating that neutrophil sequestration was occurring. More neutrophils entering the lungs contained F-actin rims than did neutrophils exiting, and the venous-arterial difference in F-actin-rimmed neutrophil counts completely accounted for sequestration. In E. coli pneumonia, in which neutrophil adhesion is mediated by CD11/CD18, CD18 blockade 15 min before blood samples were obtained did not prevent this sequestration of F-actin-rimmed neutrophils. Neutrophils expressing high or low levels of L-selectin or of neutrophils that bound platelets while circulating did not preferentially sequester. CONCLUSIONS Neutrophils with cytoskeletal rearrangements preferentially sequester within the lungs during pneumonia, and this sequestration is not due to CD11/CD18-mediated adhesion, L-selectin expression, or platelet adhesion to neutrophils, suggesting that cytoskeletal rearrangements result in sequestration of neutrophils.

Abstract
Objective Ventilatory strategies combining low tidal volume (VT) with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) are considered to be lung protective. The influence of the PEEP level was investigated on bacteriology and histology in a model of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Subjects Nineteen New Zealand rabbits. Interventions The animals were mechanically ventilated with a positive inspiratory pressure of 15 cmH2O and received either a zero end-expiratory pressure (ZEEP, n=6), a 5 cmH2O PEEP (n=5) or a 10 cmH2O PEEP (n=4). An inoculum of Enterobacter aerogenes was then instilled intrabronchially. The non-ventilated pneumonia group (n=4) was composed of spontaneously breathing animals which received the same inoculum. Pneumonia was assessed 24 h later. Main results The lung bacterial burden was higher in mechanically ventilated animals compared with spontaneously breathing animals. All animals from the latter group had negative spleen cultures. The spleen bacterial concentration was found to be lower in the 5 cmH2O PEEP group when compared to the ZEEP and 10 cmH2O PEEP groups (3.1±1.5 vs 4.9±1.1 and 5.0±1.3 log10 cfu/g, respectively; p<0.05). Lung weight and histological score values were lower in the spontaneously breathing animals as well as in the 5 cmH2O PEEP group compared with the ZEEP and 10 cmH2O groups. Conclusions Mechanical ventilation substantially increased the lung bacterial burden and worsened the histological aspects of pneumonia in this rabbit model. Variations in terms of lung injury and systemic spreading of infection were noted with respect to the ventilatory strategy.

Abstract
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) play an important role in ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), but the mechanisms of pulmonary PMN recruitment, particularly early intravascular PMN sequestration during VILI, have not been elucidated. We investigated the physiological and molecular mechanisms of pulmonary PMN sequestration in an in vivo mouse model of VILI. Anesthetized C57/BL6 mice were ventilated for 1 h with high tidal volume (injurious ventilation), low tidal volume and high positive end-expiratory pressure (protective ventilation), or normal tidal volume (control ventilation). Pulmonary PMN sequestration analyzed by flow cytometry of lung cell suspensions was substantially enhanced in injurious ventilation compared with protective and control ventilation, preceding development of physiological signs of lung injury. Anesthetized, spontaneously breathing mice with continuous positive airway pressure demonstrated that raised alveolar pressure alone does not induce PMN entrapment. In vitro leukocyte deformability assay indicated stiffening of circulating leukocytes in injurious ventilation compared with control ventilation. PMN sequestration in injurious ventilation was markedly inhibited by administration of anti-L-selectin antibody, but not by anti-CD18 antibody. These results suggest that mechanical ventilatory stress initiates pulmonary PMN sequestration early in the course of VILI, and this phenomenon is associated with stretch-induced inflammatory events leading to PMN stiffening and mediated by L-selectin-dependent but CD18-independent mechanisms.

Abstract
Clinical acute lung injury (ALI) is a major cause of acute respiratory failure in critically ill patients. There is considerable experimental and clinical evidence that pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines play a major role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory-induced lung injury from sepsis, pneumonia, aspiration, and shock. A recent multi-center clinical trial found that a lung-protective ventilatory strategy reduces mortality by 22% in patients with ALI. Interestingly, this protective ventilatory strategy was associated with a marked reduction in the number of neutrophils and the concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines released into the airspaces of the injured lung. Further research is needed to establish the contribution of cytokines to both the pathogenesis and resolution of ALI.

Abstract
Mechanical distortion of blood vessels is known to activate endothelial cells. Whether airway distension likewise activates the vascular endothelium within the airway wall is unknown. Using intravital microscopy in the rat trachea, we investigated if airway distention with the application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) caused leukocyte recruitment to the airway. Tracheal postcapillary venules were visualized and leukocyte kinetics monitored in anesthetized, mechanically ventilated rats (80 breaths/minute, 6 ml/kg VT, 1 cm H(2)O PEEP). Leukocyte rolling velocity (Vwbc) and the number of adherent cells were not altered with normal ventilation over the course of 2 hours. Ventilation with sustained PEEP (8 cm H(2)O for 1 hour reduced Vwbc and increased adhesion, reaching a maximum at 1 hour of PEEP. Intermittent (2x and 5x) 8 cm H(2)O PEEP also induced a similar reduction in Vwbc, accompanied by an increase in adhesion. However, leukocyte recruitment after airway distension is localized to the airways because increased PEEP did not induce leukocyte recruitment in the mesenteric microcirculation or when PEEP was applied to the lung distal to the site of measurement. Pretreatment with endothelin receptor and selectin inhibitors blocked the effects of distension on leukocyte recruitment, suggesting their involvement in the proinflammatory response.

Abstract
The use of positive pressure mechanical ventilation can cause ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). We hypothesized that hyperoxia in combination with large tidal volumes (VT) would accentuate noncardiogenic edema and neutrophil infiltration in VILI and be dependent on stretch-induced macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) production. In rats ventilated with VT 20 ml/kg, there was pulmonary edema formation that was significantly increased by hyperoxia. Total lung neutrophil infiltration and MIP-2 in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid were significantly elevated, in animals exposed to high VT both on room air (RA) and with hyperoxia. Hyperoxia markedly augmented the migration of neutrophils into the alveoli. Anti-MIP-2 antibody blocked migration of neutrophils into the alveoli in RA by 51% and with hyperoxia by 65%. We concluded that neutrophil migration into the alveoli was dependent on stretch-induced MIP-2 production. Hyperoxia significantly increased edema formation and neutrophil migration into the alveoli with VT 20 ml/kg, although BAL MIP-2 levels were nearly identical to VT 20 ml/kg with RA, suggesting that other mechanisms may be involved in hyperoxia-augmented neutrophil alveolar content in VILI.

Abstract
The clinical relevance of experimental ventilator-induced lung injury has recently received a resounding illustration by the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network trial that showed a 22% reduction of mortality in patients with acute respiratory disease syndrome when lung mechanical stress was lessened by tidal volume reduction during mechanical ventilation. This clinical confirmation of the concept of ventilator-induced lung injury has also undisputedly substantiated the experimental observation that excessive tidal volume and/or end-inspiratory lung volume is the main determinant of ventilator-induced lung injury. More recently, attention has focused on the roles and implication in the pathogenesis of ventilator-induced lung injury of inflammatory cells and mediators that may be activated and released either in the alveolar space or in the systemic circulation because of the rupture of the alveolar-capillary barrier and on the cellular response to mechanical stress.

Abstract
We investigated the production of proinflammatory cytokines by the lung during high mechanical stretch in vivo. To do this, we subjected rats to high-volume (42 ml/kg tidal volume [VT]) ventilation for 2 h. The animals developed severe pulmonary edema and alveolar flooding, with a high protein concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). The animals' BALF contained no tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, negligible amounts of interleukin (IL)-1beta, and less than 300 pg/ml of the chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2, an amount similar to that found in rats ventilated with 7 ml/kg VT. Systemic cytokine levels were below the detection threshold. Because isolated lungs have been shown to produce high levels of proinflammatory cytokines when ventilated with a similarly high VT for the same duration (Tremblay, et al. J Clin Invest 1997;99:944-952), we reconsidered this specific issue. We ventilated isolated, unperfused rat lungs for 2 h with 7 ml/kg or 42 ml/kg VT, or maintained them in a statically inflated state. Negligible amounts of TNF-alpha were found in the BALF whatever the ventilatory condition applied. The BALF IL-1beta concentration was slightly elevated and higher in lungs ventilated with 42 ml/kg VT than in those ventilated with 7 ml/kg VT or in statically inflated lungs (p < 0.05). The BALF MIP-2 concentration was moderately elevated in all isolated lungs (200 to 300 pg/ml), and was slightly higher (p < 0.05) in lungs ventilated with 42 ml/kg VT. After lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge, high levels of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and MIP-2 were found in the animals' plasma before the lungs were removed. Negligible amounts of TNF-alpha and IL-1beta were retrieved from the BALF of statically inflated lungs. The concentrations of TNF-alpha and IL-1beta were higher in the BALF of ventilated lungs (p < 0.001). The TNF-alpha level did not differ with the magnitude of VT, whereas the level of IL-1beta was significantly higher in BALF of lungs ventilated with 42 ml/kg VT (p < 0.01). The MIP-2 concentrations were similar for the two ventilatory conditions. These results suggest that ventilation that severely injures lungs does not lead to the release of significant amounts of TNF-alpha or IL-1beta by the lung in the absence of LPS challenge but may increase lung MIP-2 production.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether low "stretch" mechanical ventilation protects animals from clinical sepsis after direct acute lung injury with Pseudomonas aeruginosa as compared with high "stretch" ventilation. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Experimental animal laboratory. SUBJECTS Twenty-seven anesthetized and paralyzed rabbits. INTERVENTIONS P. aeruginosa (109 colony forming units) was instilled into the right lungs of rabbits that were then ventilated at a tidal volume of either 15 mL/kg (n = 11) or 6 mL/kg (n = 7) for 8 hrs. Control animals were ventilated at a tidal volume of either 15 mL/kg (n = 4) or 6 mL/kg (n = 5) for 8 hrs, but an instillate without bacteria was used. A positive end-expiratory pressure of 3-5 cm H2O was used for all experiments. Radiolabeled albumin was used as a marker of alveolar epithelial permeability. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Hemodynamics, arterial blood gas determination, alveolar permeability, wet-to-dry ratios on lungs, and time course of bacteremia were determined. When final values were compared with the values at the beginning of the experiment, there were significant decreases in mean arterial pressure (from 104 +/- 15 to 57 +/- 20 mm Hg), pH (from 7.46 +/- 0.04 to 7.24 +/- 15), Pao2 (from 528 +/- 35 to 129 +/- 104 torr [70.4 +/- 4.7 to 17.2 +/- 13.9 kPa]), and temperature (from 38.2 +/- 1 to 36.2 +/- 1.2 degrees C) in the high tidal volume group, whereas no significant differences were found in the low tidal volume group. Decreased alveolar permeability was shown in the low tidal volume group, as was decreased extravascular lung water in the uninstilled lung in the low tidal volume group (12.7 +/- 2.5 vs. 4.3 +/- 0.45 g H2O/g dry lung). No noteworthy difference was noted in the time course of bacteremia, although there was a trend toward earlier bacteremia in the high tidal volume group. CONCLUSIONS In our animal model of P. aeruginosa-induced acute lung injury, low tidal volume ventilation was correlated with improved oxygenation, hemodynamic status, and acid-base status as well as decreased alveolar permeability and contralateral extravascular lung water.

Abstract
A theoretical model is developed to simulate the flow of blood through the capillary network in a single alveolar septum. The objective is to study the influence of random variability in capillary dimension and compliance on flow patterns and pressures within the network. The capillary bed is represented as an interconnected rectangular grid of capillary segments and junctions; blood flow is produced by applying a pressure gradient across the network. Preferred flow channels are shown to be a natural consequence of random anatomic variability, the effect of which is accentuated at low transcapillary pressures. The distribution of pressure drops across single capillary segments widens with increasing network variability and decreasing capillary transmural pressure. Blockage of one capillary segment causes the pressure drop across that segment to increase by 60%, but the increase falls to < 10% at a distance of three segments. The factors that cause nonuniform capillary blood flow through the capillary network are discussed.

Abstract
Defining the cause of organ and tissue dysfunction associated with the use of perfusion systems will produce methods of prevention or treatment and improve patient outcome. The problem is the plethora of triggers, effectors, and mediators in this process, which can now be measured. Each new measureable compound becomes another biochemical "smoking gun" without physiological data to show any relevance to the human problem. This review critically compares and contrasts the role of certain, largely novel, initiation, amplification, and cytotoxic mechanisms in the inflammatory response of the myocardium and pulmonary systems after a period of cardiopulmonary bypass. The available evidence strongly points to the process being different for each of these tissue beds. These data suggest that ensuring normal lung and heart functions after surgery will require separate therapeutic strategies.
