Project description:Introduction: The ideal ventilation strategy for patients with massive brain damage requires better elucidation. We hypothesized that in the presence of massive brain injury, a ventilation strategy using low (6 mL/kg) tidal volume (VT) ventilation with open lung positive end-expiratory pressure set according to the minimal static elastance of the respiratory system (LVT/OLPEEP), attenuate the impact of massive brain damage on gas-exchange, respiratory mechanics, lung histology and whole genome alterations compared with high (12 mL/kg) VT and low PEEP ventilation (HVT/LPEEP). Methods: Twenty-eight adult male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to one of four groups: 1) no brain damage (NBD) with LVT/OLPEEP; 2) NBD with HVT/LPEEP; 3) brain damage (BD) with LVT/OLPEEP; and 4) BD with HVT/LPEEP. All animals were mechanically ventilated for six hours. Brain damage was induced by an inflated balloon catheter into the epidural space. Hemodynamics was recorded and blood gas analysis was performed hourly. At the end of the experiment, respiratory system mechanics and lung histology were analysed. Whole genome analysis was performed using Affimetrix gene chips and confirmatory real-time PCR. Results: In NBD, both LVT/OLPEEP and HVT/LPEEP did not affect arterial blood gases, as well as whole genome expression changes and real-time PCR. In BD, LVT/OLPEEP, compared to HVT/LPEEP, reduced lung damage according to histology, genome analysis and real-time PCR with decreased interleukin (IL-6), cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC)-1 and angiopoietin-4 expressions. LVT/OLPEEP compared to HVT/LPEEP improved overall survival. Conclusions: In BD, LVT/OLPEEP minimizes lung morpho-functional changes and inflammation compared to HVT/LPEEP. LVT/OLPEEP might represent a suitable ventilatory strategy in massive brain damage. 24 Wistar rats - lung samples, 4 groups, 1. non-braindamaged/braindead high tidal volume ventilation, 2. non-braindamaged/braindead best PEEP ventilation, 3. Braindamaged/braindead high tidal volume ventilation, 4. Braindamaged/braindead best PEEP ventilation

Project description:In 1967, the term "respirator lung" was coined to describe the diffuse alveolar infiltrates and hyaline membranes that were found on postmortem examination of patients who had undergone mechanical ventilation.This mechanical ventilation can aggravate damaged lungs and damage normal lungs. In recent years, Various ventilation strategies have been used to minimize lung injury, including low tide volume, higher PEEPs, recruitment maneuvers and high-frequency oscillatory ventilation. which have been proved to reduce the occurrence of lung injury. In 2012,Needham et al. proposed a kind of lung protective mechanical ventilation, and their study showed that limited volume and pressure ventilation could significantly improve the 2-year survival rate of patients with acute lung injury.Volume controlled ventilation is the most commonly used method in clinical surgery at present.Volume controlled ventilation(VCV) is a time-cycled, volume targeted ventilation mode, ensures adequate gas exchange. Nevertheless, during VCV, airway pressure is not controlled.Pressure controlled ventilation（PCV） can ensure airway pressure,however minute ventilation is not guaranteed.Pressure controlled ventilation-volume guarantee(PCV-VG) is an innovative mode of ventilation utilizes a decelerating flow and constant pressure. Ventilator parameters are automatically changed with each patient breath to offer the target VT without increasing airway pressures. So PCV-VG has the advantages of both VCV and PCV to preserve the target minute ventilation whilst producing a low incidence of barotrauma pressure-targeted ventilation. Current studies on PCV-VG mainly focus on thoracic surgery, bariatric surgery and urological surgery, and the research indicators mainly focus on changes in airway pressure and intraoperative oxygenation index.The age of patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection is generally higher, the cardiopulmonary reserve function is decreased, and the influence of intraoperative pneumoperitoneum pressure and low head position increases the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative pulmonary complications.Whether PCV-VG can reduce the incidence of intraoperative lung injury and postoperative pulmonary complications in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection, and thereby improve postoperative recovery of these patients is still unclear.

Project description:Lung transplantation remains the only viable therapy for patients with end-stage lung disease; however, full utilization of this treatment strategy is severely compromised by the lack of donor lung availability. For example, the vast majority of donor lungs available for transplantation are obtained from brain death (BD) individuals. Unfortunately, the autonomic storm which accompanies BD often results in neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE), thereby either producing irreversible lung injury or leading to primary graft dysfunction following lung transplantation. We previously demonstrated that sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), a phospholipid angiogenic factor and major barrier-enhancing agent, as well as S1P analogues serve to reduce vascular permeability and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) lung injury in rodents via ligation of the S1P1 receptor, S1PR1. As primary lung graft dysfunction is induced by lung vascular endothelial cell barrier dysfunction, we hypothesized that SEW-2871, a S1PR1 agonist, may attenuate NPE when administered to the donor shortly after BD. Significant lung injury was observed 4h after BD in a rat BD model with ~60% increases in BAL total protein, BAL cell counts, and lung tissue W/D weight ratios. In contrast, rats receiving SEW-2871 (0.1 mg/kg) 15 minutes after the induction of BD and assessed 4h later exhibited significant lung protection (~50% reduction, p=0.01) reflected by reduced BAL total protein, BAL cytokines concentrations, BAL albumin, BAL total cell count and lung tissue wet/dry (W/D) weights ratio. Microarray analysis at 4hrs revealed a global impact of both BD and SEW on lung gene expression with differential expression of a subclass of genes enriched in immune/inflammation response pathways across the 4 experimental groups. Overall, SEW served to attenuate the BD-mediated ie gene expression upregulation. Two potentially useful biomarkers, Tnf and Ccrl2, exhibited gene dysregulation by microarray analysis, which was validated by qPCR. We conclude that SEW-2871 significantly attenuates BD-induced lung injury and may serve as a potential candidate to improve human lung donor availability and transplantation outcomes.

Three replicates each.
